TLGP Reinstated

[ChefDJ]

Indeed :withStu:

 

[flintstone]

My opinion is that 200 - 300 posts should be sufficient.

 

[Ebrahim Mayat]

I personally think that the 500 post count should be reduced.....because if I look at myself I am on the forum everyday but I don't post a lot....where I know I can help I will post but if I can't help I don't post. That is why I think you should reduce the 500 post count.

Many thanks

This is a tough one and I hear you from a quality vs. quantity perspective! It is actually really easy to get several hundred posts if you are posting single sentence responses which is pretty much the opposite of the spirit of this rule.

 

[Ebrahim Mayat]

Half way there.

Lower the post count to allow me in

I believe that moderators should consult with each other regarding the legitimacy of every person they admit into this section. In this way one would be able to completely control access and NOT give access to the wrong people. 500 post count rule does not prevent an unauthorized/unapproved person gaining access and can therefore prevent a legitimate person from gaining entry (Ebrahim Mayat being a perfect example). However, a consultation process amongst moderators will definitely enable proper access.

Mods can maybe discuss:
1. Is this person known by a moderator/established member so that his identity can be confirmed and therefore gain entry?
2. Has the person attended any meet ups/breakfast runs/events or the like so that the person's identity can be verified?
3. Any other criteria that can verify ones identity.

Faaaar too much admin.

The system must be automated. The discretion for allowing people to discuss TLGP does not lie with forum staff. We simply provide a hidden section to do so.

Is it not maybe possible to use the 'time spent online' in some way?

 

[Rayzor]

I think it should remain as is, 500 post is not that hard to accomplish, Chef and Fuzz did that in less than week if i remember correctly :roflol:

Yeah guys just organise some lanyards :roflol:

Seriously though when the thread which must not be named was still very active there were guys getting up to 400 posts a day each.

With all due respect Chef, I think you are missing my point here. The 500 rule will not keep out people you want to keep out. I'm assuming you want this section to be a closed community with people that trust each other? If my assumption is right, my view is that you will need far greater access controls that merely a post count rule.

No, we do not want it to be a closed community with trusted members.

We simply want the section hidden from new members, and from archiving bots so that it cannot pop up with a Google search.

The rules also need to be applied to everyone and exceptions cant and should not be made because someone "knows" you.

Please show me where I said that 2 different set of rules should be applied.

Have to agree with Ebrahim, i spend a lot of time on the forum, and also spend a lot of time reading old threads which included old TLGP's. I also seldom post unless i feel my reply/response is of some form of benefit to those reading. i will never get to the 500 post count. unless everyone is happy with me spamming every thread to get to the required 500 :rollsmile:

As a grammar police you will pick up your post count in no time :roflol::roflol:

Took me 4 years to reach 500 posts and that was also because I generally don't post unless I think I have something of value to add. I see no problem with the current minimum post count. If like me it takes others members 4 years then it takes 4 years.

And would you feel the same way if the post count was set at 1000?

I'm just trolling now to get my count up :roflol:
