It can be a long wait if you're an infrequent poster, let me tell you

amonkie

But that also means QUALITY posts - you start spammin with lots and lots of posts that do not have good teeth to them .. you are just delaying the process.

So you are saying that not only the number of posts but what they are about is brought into the decision? Good idea. I have been in forums where all the rights are distributed at 'X', which means a person can send private messages, show an avatar and do other things after 8 hours whereas a person who rarely speaks is without the rights after 2 or more years.

Willy

I don't know what the criteria for a "good post" is exactly, but I have noticed that not all posts increase your post count. Just the fact that someone took the time to attempt to require "quality" posts speaks to the dedication of the management here. I manage a couple boards myself and I know how much work it can be to stay on top of these boards, let alone do things like making sure people are actually participating and not spamming to get their post count up.

amonkie

By good, we mean posts that you have actually put thought into - just a response of emoticons or random one line thoughts are not helpful to building community and discussion .... the core of TFP.

this being a community of ***ahem*** intelligent participants on this board, there are stages in which you grow... much like going from grade skool to board of directors... with each level of enhancement comes a level of gratitude that you have attained enlightenment as well as an aura of euphoric proportions... with being said, i'd like to take this time to thank my Mom, for without her i'd be forever in the dark, on the outside looking in so to speak... i'd also like to thank mr. alexander, my high skool proctor, who also showed me how to remove a volkswagon from the roof of the institution of stoned learning, (mr. peterson, yer still a dick)... furthermore, i'd also like to thank all the newbs here for helping me keep my sanity, Uncle Phil has tried but failed in that regard...

so in closing, i'd like to take this opportunity to adjust your TV screen and say welcome to the FACTS OF LIFE, unlike that which you have ever known before... now... just because i'm paranoid doesn't mean they're NOT after me...

(å¿å) //(º_º)\\ (ë¿ë) {(º,_,º)} (ô¿ô) (~_~) (Õ¿Õ) (©¿©) WILL YOU GUYS STOP STARING AT ME!!!

This Hanxter chap confuses and vexes me. I am confused and vexed.

I struggle to keep my posts intelligent... but that's due to my intrinsic lack of the aforementioned.
