[Suggestion] Canceling the 'posting link' rule

Forum / Moderators Forum
03-06-2012 15:16
Hello,
I just wanted to suggest to cancel the rule-
that member got to make at least 15 posts in the forum before he can post a link.


The reason is that new members make pointless posts to get their '15th post'
to post their payment proof, and sometimes even spam.

The only disadvantage I can think of is that people
can come and post links of competing sites,
And links that they can get paid when people click on them.


But I think that the advantage is bigger than the disadvantage because
we are active here and we can delete the 'not allowed links'.


Tell me what you think about it :)

Users can sometime spam the forum hard when they are new and just because they came to Get-Paid forum for sole spamming purpose. That is why we have a rule where users that have less then 15 posts on forum can't post images or links. I think that having the minimum 15 post rule is very useful but I am sure there is still a lot more room for other people's opinion. So let's see what they have to say :)

I agree with SSR,all forums have the same rules,or even more (20+posts) so Get Paid is better,seriously...what we can do is to prevent this spam thing is simply ban them or warn them,the worst problem we are going to have is when BOTS are spamming our board,this isn't stoppable,UNSTOPPABLE. Right now we need to think ideas about it before its too late.
For any doubts or questions don't hesitate to contact me.

At the moment, everything is under control. So I am sure there is no need to worry about any kind of bots or anything spamming the forum and even if it does happen in future. We do have some ways to stop that so no need to worry :)

So guys,
I understand that it's useful to have a rule that requires to make some posts before posting links / images.

So we can change the rule to have at least 5 posts and not 15 posts,
Because people are making pointless posts to get the required amount of posts before they can post links and images.

It will prevent the spam too & it will minimize the amount of pointless posts.

Let me know what you think about it.

You can remove there post if you think its useless or spam. But don't forget to notify them through PM and tell them why you have removed there post :)

Didn't read, cutting the rule would mean tons of spamming sites.

The following thread is an example of why we should implement this suggestion:

Maybe we should low the limit to about 5 posts, but we must do something about it.
