*****There's now a 250 post requirement to post in the politics forum.

[Matt2496]

I'm curious, what caused this new rule?

I think of at least one poster in particular

Starting this month, you will need 250 posts in other forums on the board before you can post in the politics forum. If you don't meet the requirement of 250 posts, but have posted in this forum before, I'll make an exception and grant you permission. Simply get in touch with me by using the contact us link and request access. This rule also applies to the Endzone forum.

Contact us

If you're a new poster who recently signed up, you'll need to participate in the other forums on the site before you'll be able to post in this one.

If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up at the link above.

This is a trial, and I reserve the right to change my mind and get rid of said requirement at any time.

I get it. If I have say 350 posts, how do I know how many were in "other" sub forums (from Political)? How do I know when I've hit that magic number of 250?

Let me phrase it differently.

If you are a new member, fresh off the assembly line. Profile's still warm to the touch.

You cannot post in the politics forum until you have made 250 posts in the rest of VolNation. You can probably view it. However, where you'd normally see the "post reply" button, you'll see a persistent message saying "you don't have the privileges to post here."

Does that make sense?

This was an exceptionally patient, considerate, and informative exchange. No sarcasm or sass.

You feeling okay???

For new users you’ll know you’ve hit 250 because all posts will be in other forums since you won’t have access to post in political.

The one who lumped me in with the D/ socialist leaning posters.

*shudders*

Yeah I just threw up 6 or 10 times after I posted it.

Who else didn’t realize that Freak is a Bot? This AI stuff is incredible.

That doesn't narrow the field much

I have a big bill to pay if you want to split it. We can go Dutch.

That feels like a nyet from me, comrade.

 

[BreatheUT]

Yall are going to make Freak put a lock on this thread.

 

[Jxn Vol]

Keeps out the turds they've banned that come back under different screen names.

I guess I need to get started on my backup account.

Me, too. I'm thinking either "GrandStan" or "Gettinghoggywithit".

What? That's flattery, my man!

I'm a lot of things, but flat isn't one of them.

I get all that. You're not addressing my question

 

[lawgator1]

Make them read 250 Politics postings first, it will probably deter several potential posters after they view our craziness.

Make them prove they can read, first.

Just a thought, but it might also be helpful if a ",000's" could be added for any poster(s) meeting all of the following criteria...

1. Bears a strong resemblance to this guy

2. Is a bigger fan of another SEC team
3. User name rhymes with "ya'll later"

 

[DinkinFlicka]

I get all that. You're not addressing my question

Because your question doesn't make sense.

How do you know how many of your current posts are in which forum?

Yeah, I don't see a point in that either.

I guess the answer to my question is we don't know.

If Frank says you got to be bonafide ...you gotta be bonafide.

Waiting for someone to accuse Freak of being Deep State because he can monitor where you post on the board he runs.
