    Yes, do it! Too many discussions and arguments over the manuals!

    Yep and the thing that annoys me more than people rushing for the manuals, is people complaining about it!

    Yes AB. Time period I think is the way to go. There is no way you can discourage people from posting crap
    buy posting "you'r a naughty boy" back. 7 days not enough I reckon a month. IMHO

    Sorry AB, I dont agree. If people are in a hurry for the manuals, then there's plenty of other places to download from. The 25 post ruling here is part of the forums culture, where, depending in how they post, they get to know us and us them. So what if a couple get through the net, they wont be allowed back...........

    Oh and for those complaining about filling up the whats news with welcomes. ....... brace yourselves, I've got a couple of weeks worth banked up

    Just remove the 25 post rule... we brought in the registered time safety net didn't we?

    With 25 posts rule... they come, they give us the irrits for 25 posts, they clog up the unread posts option, then they go, then we give ourselves the irrits whinging.

    With no 25 posts rule... they come, they download the info, they go, they don't give us the irrits, the unread posts index becomes releveant again.
    I would be happy if there was a requirement to post in the Intro BoardIE 1 post

    If they need more info they come back and ask.
    Personally I would rather no posts and no return or only a few genuine ones from someone who genuinely wants assistance after obtaining the manuals over 25 posts of rubbish and another 25 of members complaining about the rubbish.

    Bottom line...
    I don't see the point of trying to restrict access to the manuals when the process is actually giving us the shits and not the downloader

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

    Got to agree witgh ET. the manual thing is causing more truble than its worth. If they really want to be a member they will post an intro. I do wish peeps would put their location in their intros though, especially if they want to know where they can get somthing.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder
