    Yeah, this has been addressed so many times, it's not worth explaining it again. Search the thread and you'll get several good explanations as to why you need 10 posts to use the arcade. This is a community site, not a free arcade site.

    You're thinking of WholyCow, which is a sister site of Alien Soup, although not otherwise affiliated.

    Well this 10 post minimum does make sense. Allthough I have seen worst on other forums the post count minimum is 400. So to those complainers.......

    I mean COME'ON!

    I think instead of just a 10 post minimum, there should also be a script that boots you foor a week if you don't post within the week.. for instance.. i get 10 posts, then don't post anymore, but the next week comes and i haven't posted this whole week... i wouldn't be able to play all week..

    that would raise hell for the ppl that come only for the games, but it would be no problem for people who post regularly..

    Oh, and if you go on vacation, you can just contact a mod or admin..

    or not completely boot you, but restrict your arcade privileges.

    lee - we're not missing out on people joining, only on people joining who only want to play games. we're not an arcade site, we're a discussion site with an arcade for active members.

    Might I make a suggestion that those who only get their 10 posts and then stop posting don't really have the right to criticize, since you're only taking advantage of the access in the first place.

    Sorry, but if you abuse the system, you lose your right to speak out about it.

    Exactly...

    ...and those who think their access will last if they remain inactive in the forums for some time, well keep it up. :D

    :offtopic: Start your own thread in the gaming section and we'd love to talk about it.

    We've now increased the minimum posts to 50 due to abuse. That's a much better number anyways...

    I think its a good idea, far too many pointless posts until they get up to 10.

    50 is a much harder limit to get to posting utter sh*t.

    Mind you we may end up with 50 posts like that.....some fools are tiresome fools :rolleyes:
