I`m Full Of Ideas Today (bands)

OK please explain something to me

How come you need/needed (I don`t know if it`s still the case) 50 posts to get an avatar and yet you can join up on this site , advertise your band for free straight away & then bugger off again.

I think there should be a rule saying you have to post a certain amount before you can start threads . maybe something like 20 or 30 posts.

At least that way you don`t get newbies spamming the place without using the search function & also it gets rid of people who only sign up to this site who make one post to plug their ****ty bands & then bugger off again.

Just a though

I actually think that's a great idea, because I'm sick of deleting promotion spam all over the boards, then banning whoever did it. Take it up with gregb, since he's the head admin and would be the one to implement something like that.

I would agree with the idea, but I say make them wait till 50 posts. I think it would also help people get more acustomed to the board so maybe, just maybe, there wouldn't be so many duplicate posts and worthless threads.

yeah i agree, i think you should wait for 50 posts too! that's even better!

Do it up.

but if they can't make threads until they make a certain amount of posts, then they can't introduce themselves.. not that many of them do. but still. eh, i agree though. it's rediculous when ONE new person comes and they start a whole new wave of blink-182 and green day threads. it needs to be stopped.

the introductions forum doesnt really do much... i agree with the idea and fifteenth it or whatever it is now....

like it matters what we say, no mods ever come on here anymore. so IF it does happen, it'll take a long time.
