If they are just coming to spam then they won't even be here 30 minutes.Its not a huge deal to me,its not like we have to read it or respond.The ones that come here asking us questions about horror for class assignments really don't bother me that much.Where else would they go for that info?I guess a lil spam never hurt anybody!

I don't know about 30 days, but a 24 or 48hr probation might be useful.

[pinkfloyd45769]

Yeah,that could work.If they were only going to spam that would make them lose intrest.

12 or 24 hrs might be okay. Anything longer than that and nobody would join.

I don't know why. Usually I'll read a board for a year or so before I even join it. What usually pushes me over the edge to join is being able to use the search function, not being able to post.

Really? I must be a gotta-post-right-away kind of girl. :p I think this is the only board I've belonged to over a few months.

yeah - i want to post pretty much right away -

i'll view the board without joining to see if i'm interested .. and in that time of viewing i'll get the atmosphere and culture of the board...

then i join and start posting.

because apparently - i'm a post-whore.

Some of these members with 1 and 2 posts have visited this site often, just not written anything.
I wonder how many just come to read the info??

[urgeok2]

they come to find out the name of a movie :)
