No members can't send PMs rule

Piggybacking off of this active thread. What determines what's a "quality" post, and what isn't? I've noticed that my post count hasn't changed.

The problem with your post is it's all about you. Your want, belief, and options. How about contributing first then softly state your demands?

As you know, new members can't send PMs untill they have 15 posts.
I understand that this rule is important in order to prevent spam and bots, but I feel as though that number is a little bit too high. 10 would be a better limit meby?

If that can't be done, then at least allow new members to PM the staff here at BHW.

I'm saying this because I want to sell a bot on BHW, and the readme thread in the 'buy/sell' forum said I need to get in contact with a moderator, but I can't do that since I don't yet have 15 posts.

So I believe that the 15 posts rule actually increases the amount of spam on the forum.

Perhaps an option to send a single PM/day only to moderators or an email or something like that would be usefull? (I'm sure it would be to me)

Thank you!

LE: The title was supposed to be "New members can't send PMs rule". Can a moderator please edit it? Sorry about that.

Just do what all us Newbies do with the 15 Post rule, be active one day on the form and make genuine 15 posts. Its not really that hard, you know.

Yay now he has 18 posts from his own thread complaining about not having enough posts. Should have let the thread die from the get go so he couldn't pull that shit.

But maybe that was his grand master plan after all ? Make a thread about complaining regarding the 15 post rule and end up getting 15+ posts ? :spy:

Hm. Maybe not. Let's see.

Edit: I suppose not. >.> Well, it's still a principle lol.

I think 100 would be a even better number. And 60 days in.

I agree with you, I think they should increase it if anything. When I first joined I found it to be a lot. However, now that I look at it you can get 15 posts way to easily.
