New members on B/S/T forum

[OLD_SCHOOL]

I am kind of thinking that this would be useful before starting threads in the reviews section also!

Yes I agree with this, I have just finished reading about a dozen review threads made by a NooB who does not seem to have made posts anywhere other than his own review threads.

yeah!

as for the b/s/t is there any way to allow posts, but not new listings until a certain limit has been reached?

I believe there is a way. I am a member of a forum with strict status rules for certain areas I.E you can't post in off topic threads until you have made 100 posts, other parts of the forum you need to have been a member for x amount of time and made x amount of posts before getting permissions to post.

I think this would be good for both the review and BST forums. Simply because IMO why would I listen or trust the reviews of someone with very few post count and only 3 or 4 days as a member, what do they base their experience on etc.

Azjoe should be able to look into this and keep us updated.
