Due to many requests from members and as suggested by the Forum Leaders, the permissions will be changing for access to posting in the Off Topic Forums.
Starting next week, a member will need a minimum of 40 posts to participate in the OT forum. As suggested, this will hopefully cut down on the drive-by spammers and those drive-by forget-the-rules-and-rudely-post people that don't take time to consider the rules of that forum and the general forum rules.
This should not hinder anyone that has been here for awhile and has a minimum of 40 posts. If you don't have 40 posts by the time this is instituted, you won't be able to participate in that forum until you do.
Caution: Do NOT try to inflate your post count for participation in the OT forum, nor the BST forum.
Also, for those that are having problems in the OT or BST forums, please remember that these forums are not necessary to your membership and the privilege to be in there may be revoked at any time.
Thanks for reading.
Edit for addition changes:
Yet another change to the OT forum is that anyone causing problems in the OT forum can lose their privilege of reading and posting in that forum. If there is someone that can't abide by the rules there, they will first get a warning and maybe an infraction. More warnings/infractions (and that may be the second one depending upon the circumstances) and the privilege will be lost.
BTW, the Buy/Sale/Trade will also be treated the same way. If you have bad deals there, then the privilege of reading and posting there will be removed.
This will probably be no problem for the large majority of our members. And it might be a welcome change for most.
