Waiting period for new members: Poll

[DSM4Life]

Who feels that there should be some sort of waiting period for new members ? I once joined a forum where i had to wait 2 weeks before i could post and ill tell you from first hand experience by the time i was ready to post i had searched half the forum and gained tons of information which helps cut down on my noob questions. I figure this could help cut down all the redundant posts we get here.

Redundant posts/threads? You mean like this one?

There must be 200 of these threads.

Guess what?You Fail!

I hear that. I am just waiting for the light bulb to go off over someones head. I guess i could be waiting for a long time.

PINN you are harcore bro lol. I think we should have a waiting period and have godfather research the hell out of the person and then when we clear them from being LE they can post??? like, "here dude post a video of you injecting yourself while getting a blowjob from a hooker and then you got cred."

no way. there are alot of stupied posts but newbies are what keeps this board going. if you look in the steroid forum, 70% of the posts are from people with less then 300 posts. plus most newbies are looking on at us for months before ever joining.

What about the smilies?

Why they keeps changing around, it takes me forever to make my post look cool and most of the smilies no one ever uses and are gay.

these are my favs.

but on one hand......new member doesnt always mean noob....you can have an awesome dude who could contribute alot, that would be turned away from not being able to post for 2 weeks.

Keeping what going ? Post numbers. So you would rather have 100 pointless posts than a few educated posts ?

"plus most newbies are looking on at us for months before ever joining."

Looking at their questions this doesn't seem to be the case.

So your saying that the board would crumble if we missed 2 weeks of a new guy that knows a lot about AAS ?

i think it'd be a nice change. the problem is there is not really a solution to the problem that will satisfy everyone.

I trolled for a year.


This would have just pissed me off.

Hey...I've been here a year and barely have 300! I think noobs should only be able to start a set number of threads (3?) their first 3 of so months. Then can only ask 3 redudant questions each month.

I say there should be just a 24 hour period or so. It would help reduce some spam accounts or spammers. But other than that, newbs ate generally exited to post thier first thread and any more wait would discourage them lol.. I would know haha

not every newbie has useless posts and there the ones with questions. how often do you see a mod or vet asking a question in the open? not very often. without the people trying to learn(newbies) there wouldnt be as many posts. if anyone dosnt like the newbies posts then i have a simple solution, dont click on there thread.

Why do you think i never go into the Q/A.

This is just a small step to help clean up the boards. It will force the noob to do some of their own research and also like stated above cut down on the spam.

It will also cut down on merc accounts
