New Member restrictions draconian

[Purechaos2000]

I have been to many many forums in my 20+ year history of internet use.. Cannot think of any forums who actually will not let you post new topics, especially reviews, without a post history. I have lurked ECF for a long time.. Finally decided to get on to warn people about a scammer in our community (vape community online) that is preying on customers. However, I am not going to make 5 fluff posts just to warn people about it. Will be headed back to lurkland, but wanted to vent some frustration with ECF on this topic. Lost a member before I ever really started. Toodles.

You're already 20% of the way there. Keep up the good work.

 

[MikeMills]

We all had to do it.

Bye!

Then don't make fluff posts. Post what you need to post here and now and we will respond as needed.

Pretty simple concept . . . they're just trying to confirm you're not a spam-bot . . .

You call yourself Pure Chaos; have a nice day and thanks for forewarning us about what to expect.

Wally, you have 4 posts, 3 of which are here in this thread...if you learned something the hard way, your first post must have been a DOOZIE!

 

[ElConquistador]

You need 5 posts....now get out there and conquer the board!

 

[ElConquistador]

I think after you get the minimum it takes a little while for the board to give you permission. I don't know if that's from an admin or an automatic thing.

The largest thread count forum on ecf and the issue is getting the word out to the members via other forums with less threads? Guess the OP needed a select captive audience versus the mass audience here

Automatic...At 5 posts then 25 after the hour it will update.
