how to fix no introductions

Im pretty sure there is a way of making it so if you have anything less that 5 posts you cant make a new thread other than in the introduction section.

Entering the "location", would be appreciated.
Or at a minimum, the state where one resides.

The Boss & Moderators excepted.

X2 , id rather see that mandatory before a intro actually, i mean, if you need to remain sooooo "hidden" ,you cant even post what "state" you live in, then WTF are you doing posting on the internet anyway ?


And NO, a "drunken state" does not count !

What's wrong with the "Drunken state"? I would move there if there was any jobs! Lmao.

That seems like a pretty good idea on the surface Mike.....I like it.....

The only thing is it will pad up the intro posts a fair bit ..... maybe possibly two posts, your own Intro, and one Welcome .... then you are on your way

Would you walk into a room without saying hello and ask questions?..........same applies to forums!

Do you say hello to everyone when you got to a restaurant, pub, grocery store, shop etc? These threads are like "who is your favorite politician" threads lol.

i'm not sure I agree. I'm not sure I see why intros need to be compulsory.

If someone looks up a question on google to fix something, and get sent here, and then "must" post a intro? What if they don't want to be part of the community, but just an answer?
If people want to join in, and become part of the community, sure, they would then introduce themselves. not because they have to, but because they want to.
Only downside I really see by it not being compulsory, would be some peeps won't be able to post 20 odd reply welcomes in 3 minutes to get up post counts?

just a thought
