If he really was smart, he'd stay out of the "Pit of Despair" forum.

TDF is pretty smart in this case, though. I like his thoughts on this, although I think 50 posts would be ok. Some people don't post a ton, but are still active on the site and not just here to buy/sell.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Must be an active member (No, BST forum should not be used to constitute "active" involvement).
No, "lurking" will never be considered "active" involvement.

Maybe 25-50 posts BEFORE allowed to post on BST, figure that would be about 1-3 posts a day, so maybe 1-2 months depending on how serious the person is about this site. Call it a "probationary period".


Just a couple of thoughts on the topic.

Using the site/server cost money. People who lurk only to sell and not contribute cost JR and us moola. The use us. And they certainly dont follow the minimum post requirement, which was my idea, (the internet was my idea as well) and is utterly unenforceable unless they get locked out. But like Ross says, rules arrggggg! JR your kind, thoughful, insightful, the owner, we'll stand by your decision.

Drop the POD forum, who'll miss it?
