Meh. It's not hard to shit post by just quoting someone and saying you agree. 10 posts just filters out the spam bots

60% of all my posts has been bullshit like that. It really does work.
 
you can also "accidentaly" double post ;)
 
I remember making 50 posts the first time. Was afraid I'd have to do it again :/

bit of a pain in the ass to have to do it again but thanks for reducing it at least. /qq
 
Yeah, i suppose i should get cracking on posting. I guess I'd rather not shit up the forum when so many others say all that needs to be said.
 
To me it seems a bit weird you have to have 10 posts to see Lolcow. Why don't we just make it like 30 posts into general, no limit on Lolcow? As only the regs and established people (over 30 posts) give a shit about general.

(That guy that just started up a thread in Chris to move to Lolcow prompted me to suggest)
 
With a post requirement to see lolcows, any lolcow in question would have to make at least 10 posts without getting themselves banned. You can check the banned users to see that is sort of a difficult task to do if you are a dumbass.
 
We are probably better off not allowing idiots to have free reign on the board.
 
I didnt say free reign, just reign over the spergy parts like Chris and Lolcow
 
"the spergy parts" as in the two largest boards that constitute over 50,000 posts?
 
yeah. The majority of the forums posts are spergy. Sorry Null, but you're running a spergy establishment here.

If you think it's spergy now you should meet the people we banned. :tomgirl: . Outside of the Chris and Sonichu section the non CWCki parts should require the post count
 
So I thought about the board set-up. I remember now, the reason that the Lolcow General forum requires 10 posts like the General forum does is to keep Love-shy forum people out of their thread. I'm pretty sure this isn't important anymore, and while the board is set up to anonymously redirect traffic so that people of interest don't get reference URLs back to the forum, the people who keep an eye on the Love-shy inner circle don't post about it publicly anymore. The creeps are also overly cautious now, seeing as they don't want anyone to know exactly how fucked they are.

That being said: Alan Padrew made a suggestion in mChat that we restrict topic creation to the 10 post limit as well. I'm sort of torn on this. Yeah, it would stop people from making shit threads as soon as they register an account, but it also prevents people who join just to post something important from doing so. Also, any time you include a post count restriction, people will spam shit posts to get that number so they can access whatever it is they want. This is such a simple and primal reaction that even Rika figured out how to do it. It's also a really good "ban me" flag when someone registers an account just to make a shit thread and helps populate spergatory.

I'll unblock Lolcow General because there's no real reason to keep it hidden anymore. Nothing goes on in that board that an anonymous lurker shouldn't need to see. However, there won't be any lax in quality control. It's starting to bother me how shit a lot of posts are and I'm wanting to put an end to that. This also includes 'lolcows'. I don't want fucking idiots that make a fool of themselves doing so around here. The incident with Rika brought in a lot of undesirable traffic and highlighted why these people are ostracized. This is a place for discussion, not a farm.

You mean that we're not under assault from hordes of vicious Loveshies? Well, clearly I'm not doing my job right. Remind me to go back in there and shake up the hornets nest.
