Could you please do away with the idea of minimum 5 posts ?

Fair enough :)

Already put in more than 5 posts. Still says 1 :(

Your posts count has been reset as posts were not seen as contributing to the forum
If you read the first link in my signature it will explain :)
 
i think ten at least if not more
 
We've tried various things with new members, sometimes more posts required just equals more stuff to delete. It's difficult to find a balance.

Personally, I'd have users under five posts moderated but it would create a lot of work :).

Has a smallish one off payment (say £5) to join the forum ever been considered, or tried?
It could have a time out feature for download privileges, and a download limit, extended by useful post count or further payment.

After a pre determined number of useful posts (that would need discussion), existing options would apply.

After all, guests get to view most of the forum anyway, so should know whether the available downloads are useful to them.
It should deter clockers, save time chasing them, and put a few bob in the coffers.

I don't see how anyone who genuinely wants to contribute (by posts and/or subscription) would be affected.
 
I feel as tho some people come on here just to abuse it and it saddens me as theres always someone on here to help and new members just cant be botherd to give something useful hopefully one day they will learn not to waste their time in posting rubbish.By all means this isnt to every new member as there has been a couple of late who have give good contributions to the forum.

So if i had my way i would make it ten good posts.
 
would be 10 for me

but no doubt a lot of work with it
 
I've been round here longer than I care to remember and I know this has been chewed over and tweaked about since the beginning.

I appreciate the problems caused by trying to enforce it, and I also understand that there's a case to be made for doing away with it altogether.

I think a longer wait than 24 hours after registration would be more useful than fretting about the number of posts.
 
Lets see how many posts I have :rolleyes:

I think the minimum post should be 1221 lol :)
