Wierd post restriction in this forum

[djezewski]

It is a big board and I do not recall the time it took after signing up after my 5 posts there was so much to read. I had no idea what a mod was, how to build coils, protected batteries, unprotected batteries and so on I could get many questions answered and just plain and simple learned a lot.

I would consider the hundreds of threads on the same topic spam. That's just me tho. I suppose once you finally have access to other forums theres no need to come back to the newbie side...

This is very wrong. Just take a look at the post count in this thread alone. You come back here to answer questions for newbies, like you. If not for the helpful posters here the forum would not be as great as it is. Even though I have a low post count I check here first every day, to see if I can offer assistance with what limited knowledge I have. I am thankful it is nothing but new people here.

Sorry off topic but i have to ask...

Arcanehacker, do you play Arcane Legends?

 

[buckeyebob89]

this seems like a perfect place for my fifth post.

It's not that bad of a restriction, my first four were in topics like 'what are you vaping now?' and 'what are you waiting for in the mail?'

It should be at least 20 before you can start a thread.

But then we would not have our daily...."What is so special about a provari' thread. lolol

I welcome all the new people but I can't believe anyone is upset over a 5 post minimum. It's been a while since I specifically looked at the new member forum so I went over there for a browse. In addition to some fantastic sticky threads- I think all newbies should have to read them before they can even move on- there were over 88,000 threads in just the new members forum. And, no , most of these were not introductions and spam posts but filled with many of the same types of questions and topics as the main threads. I find it hard to believe that someone could not find 5 interestig threads in which to make a few posts to bring their count up without resorting to "hi" or just complaining about the restriction.

I like checking out the 'newbie' area because even though I have more than 5 posts, this is a very active area of the forum, and sometimes I see a question being answered that I never even thought to ask before but it helps me out as well.

Hi. I had that for almost a week. What helped me was drinking more water and vaping plain vg. Don't know if it actually worked or it went away on it's own, but I was more comfortable for that stretch of time. I also heard eating hot peppers will help. Not for me, don't like them.

I being a old forum hand in many different forums over the years did not read the new member info very much, thought they were all the same. Took me days to figure out why I could not post anything where I wanted too.

Doesn't matter to me about the 5 post rule. i love it here with the wealth of knowledge to be had. If not for ECF I would not have had any idea about my ongoing vapors tongue. 9 days now if anyone else is counting....oh wait I am the only one counting. If not for that then I would probably have given up and returned to smoking but I know it will end someday, sometime, maybe, hopefully. Haha.

Great support group here and 5 posts are easy enough if you are a newb and have many questions.

once I noticed I couldn't open a thread here anymore

Happened to me, too.

 

[ShariR]

I find that a lot of the new people are really looking for answers to basic questions or a discussion of basics so they can better understand what they are looking for/reading in other parts of the forum. Helping the new people is part of being an active ECF member for me.

But then we would not have our daily...."What is so special about a provari' thread. lolol

dont forget the obligatory daily "anyone ever order from fasttech?" threads

 

[smacuser]

I must say, this is the only forum with a weird post restriction.. no wonder threads don't update much in other categories. should just lax more..

No kidding. Do you voop? JK

 

[bendeng]

Haha, maybe I'm just being a sourpuss. I lurked too long and I wanna post responses in other threads too and be more proactive. I don't wanna answer newbie threads on things I don't know.
