Hello! 🙂

[ZippityDooDah]

Yeah, Ive been poking around to try and see where I can jump in on the convo's but everything is locked down tight lol. I've been around the.."self optimizing" scene long enough to totally get why the preventative measures(which I must admit are a lot better than most places I've seen) but it would help a bit if we could see the boxes we need to tick to open up access, seems odd to weigh it super heavily on account age, but I also dont really feel I have much to add to another random stranger's intro post to the point where the mod/script deems me 'worthy' of speaking elsewhere.

Unfortunately it's a necessary evil for the time being. Trust me, I'm not a fan of it, but it ultimately results in less work than trying to clean messes later.

In close to 40 years of being involved with various forums and BBS's, one thing I've learned is that you can't just tell people the criteria they need to meet in order to gain additional access/abilities because unfortunately some people will just follow that map to the letter until they can freely post their boner pills for sale or whatever other kind of BS they have up their sleeve.

The important thing to remember is that the entire forum is available to read by everyone regardless of their post count or anything else. As zpped mentioned things are very fluid at the moment and hopefully we'll find the right balance soon.

FWIW, if you haven't already, take minute to read my posts HERE about what's going on behind the scenes with some of this stuff.

Happy Jabbing!

Yeah, im sure yall will balance it out over time - sounds like it's algorithmic to an extent? most forums I've been on had a post count/XP system and were more linear in progression, but this is much better for sec/bot filtration long term.

Can we all take a minute to talk about how insanely overrated Whataburger is? We have them in AZ, but I was in Texas for work last week and it was suggested for lunch every single day I was there

I feel left out in S FL - we never had any of the 'cool' burger places. we just got a shake shack but theyre all in weird spots and I havent made it out to one, but everyone literally is split down the middle when I ask them about In-n-out or Whataburger.
