~I Can't Play??~

**~Dabs~** · 02-17-2011, 07:16 AM

I went to the arcade, ready to play some games, but it seems I am not allowed....go figure ~LoL~
So how long before I am allowed to play in the arcade??

Yeah , you need a minimum post count for that.
We should talk to the Admin about lowering that ;)

The 250 minimum post count needs to be removed for games, pm's, avatars and such.

Right Mark?

Welcome to the Peace Arch Dabs.

I think it needs to be lowered for PMs but not removed. Spamers can get in and PM if the limit is too low. Have seen this at other sites with no minimum post count for PMs.

And welcome to all the newbies.

On another forum I'm familiar with, the 50 count seems to work ideally. It takes only one good intro thread, or fluff thread, for people to push a member's count up to 50. Of course, it doesn't help with the stalkers some were getting in here.

Yep, there is the 250 post count which is to be passed in order to use the arcade, PMs, and other hidden areas.

There are games in the Improv section like Word Association & Coke or Pepsi that can be used in order to get to that mark. I'll be more than happy to help in that regard.

Welcome to the Peace Arch Dabs.

And while you're at it 250 games played has to count for something, no?

Ya there needs to be a limit to discourage morons but 250 is too much.

I'm sure when Mark gets off the road he'll look at it.

Thank you everyone, y'all have been so super nice!!
And Mark knows me....so he knows I'm not a bot...or any other creepy thing *haha*

The post count is in place to thwart of spammers. I am looking into lowering the post count, but in the meantime head on over to Last one to post and get those counts up.
