"Moderator2"Thanks again for all the input, everyone!
There have been some really good ideas presented here. I especially like the post minimum but would word it a little differently. "Quality posts" Now, that doesn't mean that a new member has to post a "sport changing epiphany" but, posting "a, b, c, 1, 2, 3" just isn't going to cut it!
How many posts? I was thinking 10 quality posts.
I also like the idea of adding this prerequisite to the SWAG section.
I like the idea of showing IP addresses as well.
We will discuss the other ideas (Escrow, $1 charge, etc.) as well. I want our members to feel more confident in their forum. The end goal here is to stop these scum to the best of our ability.
Also, I will be handing out + accuracy to many of you for your input and assistance. I would encourage others to do the same. You are all helping to make this forum a better place for everyone.
Thank you,
Mod2
