Re: Newbie opinions

I think the 50 count should be dropped to 20 or so. Once they get 20 posts they are usually getting the hang of it. I think that 50 posts will encourage post whoring.

I also agree that correct grammar should be kept about like it has. Not as bad as NABR, but so things are easily legible and I am not sitting there saying "WTF?" when I read a post.

Re: Newbie opinions

I think 50 is a good limit. But I think the posts need to have more content then 50 posts of single words or single sentences. They need to use the shift key AT LEAST once in each post for admin approval. If you put a block like 50 posts we are going to see a lot of abuse and single sentence posts that mean nothing, they have no purpose.
I think if an admin sees this abuse the member will be set at a post count of -50 and if they abuse it again they are banned. Simple as that.
Its not like we are being like NABR, we are just trying to make it so that there are less people just coming on here and posting random crap, we already have someone that does that, his name is Tom.

"Perps" have to register with local authorities when moving into a new area.

Re: Newbie opinions

As for the NABR comparison, people are way off. It's apples vs oranges.

If DSMStyle were anything like NABR, we would have shut down a long time ago due to low membership numbers. Most newbies would never get past their second post.

Trust me, I'm a member of NABR and I can personally tell you DSMStyle is much, much easier on it's members by a long shot. There are other NABR members here also who will tell you the same thing.
