New Members Need to Make a Total of 5 Posts to View The Entire Board.
This helps eliminate drive by members. Many join just to Copy & Paste From One Board To Another. We would Love to have all members to post with us instead of Grab & Go.

Thank You

I was wondering why I was cut off. You should of stated that upon joining. Well I count this as my first post, right?

No, You currently have 6 Posts. You should be able to see the whole board Now.

Now, About your Statement.
1st off This Rule just started 1 Day before your post above. This Rule Was Posted right after the board was set to a post limit.
There are forums you can View as a New Member, This was done because People join, They stop by often, Copy & Paste from one board onto another,and then never even post anything, Not Even a simple Thank You. Or for whatever other reason they may have, I've seen where people will join a board just because someone they Dont like is a member of the board, Or just spam all over the place. None of this is fair to the members.
So instead of Grab & Go, There are Only 5 Total Posts to be made.
And i think that this is a fair Rule, Many other Boards Require anywhere from 25 to 100 posts to view things.

So, On That note... You Joined on Novemeber 25th and must not have posted for a Month Until This Rule & The Settings in The Control Panel was Made on December 22nd.

Sorry if you seem to be offended by that or think that it's unfair.

Seems like a very fair rule to me.. I was curious about this too One min i see the board the next i dont I thought id already gotten in trouble anyways im going to go check out the rest of the board.

Sounds fair to me.......

I Think thats Fair too , i,m New but - Like you Folks i run a Forum and sometimes people make one or no posts and then they Lurk to copy paste stuff - so i see your Point QC

Sounds fair to me

I havent posted yet because i hurt my back so i havent been around much

Sounds very fair to me too.

sounds fair thank for the info

I'm very glad eveyone says it sounds fair.
I hate making such rules like this but there are some
people out there that make these kind of Rules to exist.

completely understandable..i also have my own board, and i have problems there with people a lot, well one lady that is thats been lurking for over a year now and causing me problems!

So dont feel bad about rules they have to be done!!

there is nothing wrong with that!
