New rules for Current Affairs forum

[rpm]

Hi folks

Because of continued problems with this forum the moderators have deiced to apply the same rules as in some other sections where only ‘Established Members’ with at least 50 posts and a membership of 3 months can post here.

This should eliminate many of the problems associated with this forum we hope.

Your feedback is most welcome as usual.

Yay I'm part of the cool kids now.

/plays Welcome to the Jungle. Thanks rpm. But I'm afraid the main culprits are already qualified to post.

How do you get to 50 posts before you are allowed to post? Just a question. Can you post the first 50 on other forums?

That's only a limitation for specific forum sections, such as Current Affairs and Philosophical Debates.

rpm just drew a big square around CA with a fat stick of anti-troll chalk!

Good,

This is still first and foremost a technology/broadband forum, IMHO.
And one should "enter" the community via that route. I am by no means an expert on anything tech/broadband related (maybe gaming ) but I do think that entering the tech/broadband discussions first (and adding value there, or getting value there in my case) gives one the credibility to 'run your mouth' in the "Off topic" sections or to give one's opinion on "Current Affairs"

We need another rule for that, people asking stupid questions should be banned

 

[Fudzy]

Can we have a rule to ban cheerleading and one line answers like they do in Prophecy forum's Coffee Table section?

You mean like your one line you just posted?
