have you ever heard the saying, "If you are not going to say something nice, shut the **** up" ?
No, I haven't heard that one but it's very deep. Also very mature. I'm glad you are using profanity to teach me about maturity. That is so very appropriate. Please, tell me some more about how to be mature. Do I need to threaten to beat someone up? Is that how?
If you guys get this upset because someone expresses a negative opinion about your forum, I would hate to see your idea of sportsmanship on the field.
Also, for your information, I had a legitimate reason to post a new thread. I was going to post a review of the Tokyo Marui M93R AEP I bought recently.
The idea that not allowing someone to post a new thread until they have posted 10 times is flawed. It doesn't prevent newbies from posting threads asking stupid questions, because it doesn't force them to search for answers. All it does is encourage them to post 10 times as quickly as they can in threads like this, introducing themselves and posting total BS until they get 10 posts, then they will go ahead and post whatever they wanted to post in the first place.
If the concept actually worked or was a good idea, other much larger forums like PBNation would use it. Lord knows PBNation has a lot of bullshit threads they would like to limit if they could. If this idea worked they would use it for sure!
Also, tell me the logical reason for forcing people to have an avatar that says "FORUM NEWBIE!" in big red letters. It's not obvious enough by looking at someone's post count? Is that too difficult, you need it in big red letters to remind you who to treat with disrespect?
