This 3 post thing is weird.

It might seem weird but the benefit is you don't have to wad through spam post after spam post here on the forum.

As a member of several other forums it seems like more hassle than benefit.

As a new member it may very well seem like a hassle but as new member you have no idea how frequently this board was deluged by spammers on a daily basis, both human and non human. This three thread approval method has proven the most effective at stopping spammers cold.

This wasn't some thing that was crammed down the member's throats. After being deluged by spammers on the site a discussion was began on stopping them. This was one of the ways to prevent this. Members were asked what would be a reasonable number of posts required before you are allowed full access. The three post rule was the result.

I am an admin on two other forums like this and the spam is unreal. I am going to suggest this to our mods on my other sites

I can think of a few other things (in life) that are more 'hassle than benefit' than posting 3 threads to prevent spam on this forum. Like for instance the time I was...

Oh, I'll save it for the 'off topic' section.

Welcome and enjoy your stay, midget28.

The three post thing seems to be working compared to other boards ive seen.

How hard is it post three times anyway?

All I could think of was Super Troopers when you titled this post
