Unofficial Heroes NBC Forum and Message Boards

I setup a system tonight where new members must have replied to at least two existing topics before they can start their own new topics. There are two reasons for this new rule - the first being to cut down on forum spam, and the second is to encourage new members to learn the lay of the land before posting a new topic.

This also means that new members will need to reply to two existing topics before they can post their introduction in the "First Impressions." While I realize this is a bit of an annoyance, I hope you can understand the reasons for needing this rule.

Rule edited to require two posts instead of five.

Seems fair enough

I agree also,
it took me awhile to get the general lay of the land.
One of the things I like about the board is the lack of spam and flaming going on.
I haven't seen a lot of harsh replies to peoples ideas or any general meanness,
nor have I seen a lot of come ons for other sites of questionable merits either.
Is this the result of the high caliber of the membership on this board
or is it due to the diligence of the administrator and various moderators
weeding out the chaff?

That's really good to hear Superhiro,
I just want to take a moment to Thank You and the Other Moderators
for making such a cool place for us to play in.
Thanks

thanks Zonedancer. I think that this should help reduce some of the multiple threads discussing the same topic.

I think most of the people on here have posted to topics BEFORE introducing themselves anyways wink

so I don't think it'll be that big of a deal. yeah

I've posted 5 times and still can't post in the introduction thread. Is it 5 posts or posts on 5 different topics?

Please clarify!

I'm loving the site by the way!

I am not sure if the posts need to be in different topics or not. Are your previous 5 posts all in the same topic?

spontaneousbob · Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 9:31 pm Post subject:

They're in several topics (but I don't think 5 seperate ones).
This is only my seventh post, so it's not a major deal, It'll happen when it happens.

I'm not a big forum poster, so this kind of thing confuses me a bit.
As do the various points and rankings thingies.
With that said, I'm really getting into this one!
Of course it helps that it's such a great show!

Is there anyway to make this message stand-out a little more. I didnt read this when I first came on and I thought I could post topics right away so i type a new topic for about 30 mins. and i finally click post and I didnt even have 5 posts yet so ya I had to re-type it and everything i was really sad
