Why doesn't ls1tech do this...? Why does ls1tech not have a minimum post count that must be reached before a user can start a new thread??
This would cutdown significantly on the complete BS threads that tend to come up in the Street Racing Section from users with 0-5 posts.
Maybe if ls1tech required a post count of 50 or 100 before a user can tell his or her street racing story we wouldn't have a bunch of 0's starting new bullshit threads...just thought I would share this idea after reading a couple of these bs threads and reading another thread completely devoted to talking about this problem...this would also cutdown on spammers, which you don't see too often here, but other sites have the problem...anyways, lets hear what ya'll think...
Note: I'm not trying to step on anybody's toes, its just an idea.
Don't worry Unit, I will keep posting and you can keep moderating.

Excellent idea, how about XX amount of posts AND XX amount of time??
What about the people who just got a new LSx and want to tell us about themselves?? Maybe just allow them to start new threads in only the "welcome to LS1TECH" section.

Good to see the idea has supporters!
I think 25 posts or 3 months is plenty to weed out the ones who are just causing trouble vs. the ones that actually need help and want to learn.
99% of all questions asked have been asked before, so the learners with 0-24 posts will have plenty of reading to do before they can start a 'new' topic.
And of course, leave the "Welcome to ls1tech" section open to all...those seem to be moderated 'round the clock anyways.
