15 Post Requirement

**Dave Keys** · 06-28-2010, 07:37 AM

Hmmm. I don't really have too much problem with the 15 post requirement but it may be a little daunting for people who aren't that comfortable with writing.

On second thought, maybe it's just about right. A little annoyance at the front door for new people, but it probably keeps many of the spammers at bay. Spammers brought down the business model of wannanetwork.com last year so it's a serious issue.

I was going to place an image here but the 15 MPH limit says I have to wait.

I went to a race at the California Speedway once and they made the cars go 50 in the lanes that went from the pit to the track. I'll just drive 50 ;-)

I just noticed an icon and tag by my name that said "renter" I didn't know I was a renter but maybe that's just a nice way of saying noob!

It just caught my eye, is all...

LOL, well, hopefully 'Renter' is a better tag/label than 'Banned'. And forums/blogs are susceptible to blatant spammers, who ruin the visitor experience for all members. So I see the 15 post rule as fair and not strict at all (after all, a new member can easily do that in one day). We hope you enjoy your experience on this blog and continue to contribute.

I have to agree. The more I think about it, the more I would tend to make it harder, not easier to get link status. My own blog is nearly hostile by comparison. It's dofollow, but it's also "do be authentic and interesting." If you can't be interesting, at least be entertaining!

Perfectly said. Patience is a virtue that is hard to master.
