I've made the following changes:

- Newly Registered User status drops at 20 posts instead of 10.
- Flood Time Interval has been increased from 15 seconds to 180 seconds (3 minutes).
- Standard Users that have 20 or more posts are now immune to the Flood Time Interval.
- Because of these changes, the minimum time it would take someone to become a Standard User is 1 hour.

Friendly Reminder: Newly Registered Users can still create new threads. If you see a spam/garbage topic, please don't reply.
 
Why the changes? I havent seen a flood of JOOLAYs or anything.

Just curious.
 
All of which make perfect sense, IMO. It really seems like the vast majority of shitty posters prove themselves to be shitty in their first dozen or so posts. It's really rare someone establishes themselves and acts normal before taking a leap off the sperg dive. Anything that slows down brand-new posters and gives them time to prove themselves (or not) is a good thing.

Or they just toss out a bunch of vaguely passable, but ultimately worthless posts that take less than a second of effort so they can get access without being immediately obvious.
 
Ohh I was wondering why I couldn't see the General forum anymore. Looks like I'll have to be more social/less lurky!

    • :julay:

Anyway, love the new changes for the requirements to the "Trusted Group". Pretty great combination.

Hey Null, I'm not sure if your last update fixed this issue or not, but there was a bit of a loophole in the "Trusted Group" criteria. Before the new layout came I had full access to chat and the general board, since I had 10 posts before you changed it to 20. After the switch I was locked out of general, but could still chat. Now that seems to be fixed, I'm still a few posts short of 20, so my chat is off again. I'm not sure if that all applies to anyone else with similar circumstances.

Just wanted to let you know, in case that spoke for a problem with the set-up.

Nah, that is fixed. I straightened out all the permissions I think.
