Flame Zone Entry Policy Revised.

[flacaltenn]

We've modified the USMB policy for "new member" access to the Flame Zone. Here on out -- a minimum of 100 posts for new members is required to post or "thank" posts in the FZ.

Obviously, this measure is to discourage chronic "breaking and entering" by formerly banned members and should not present any real impediment to legitimate new USMB members. We reserve the right to INCREASE this minimum post requirement as required.

Questions should be addressed to USMB Moderation Staff via PM..

Well there goes my socking plans for the new year!

So what happens if a new member starts a thread that gets moved to the Flamezone? Do they lose the ability to post in their own thread? That might be a way the people might try to slip by the new rule.

Noobs should also have a note from their Mommy too.

My guess would be they DO lose posting privileges.. We rarely move threads to the FZ. Unless they are funny enough..

 

[Moonglow]

Yeah that's why this one is in humdrum land..

On the list of "spring cleaning".. It's too cold to go out and change the Front Page right now..

Not much disincentive to keep them out.

It isn't unusual for some people to make a hundred posts in a day around here.

*****SMILE*****

 

[Lewdog]

I think it should be raised to 250-500 posts. A person can get a good 25-50 post out of a good introduction thread alone.

I think all members should be required to pass a urine test before being allowed to post in the flame zone.

I think all members should be required to pass a urine test before being allowed to post in the flame zone.

You volunteering to collect piss?

From the list, it's mostly full time Democratic Party employees, or deranged shut-ins living in some institution somewhere, i.e. they should receive automatic admission.

I saw Bruce drinking from a cup the other day and then he spit it out real fast. What are you doing I said? He just stared and said "I hate these goddam urine tests!"

Was not newsworthy information. Thanks anyways, I'll be sure to keep 100 posts for cut and paste available.
