I wonder how many just come to read the info??

Probably. There are a few message boards I visit just to read (although one I used to post at until they went to paid membership.)

And also, they know they just cannot compete with the witty genius of this group:D

Add acne cream and Viagra to today's spam. 48 hours or mod approval upon registering would work for me as well :rolleyes:

I'm with Urge, I certainly wouldn't have joined if there was a 30 day rule. I see where you're coming from with the rule but crappy threads don't bother me at all, I simply don't read them. If I stumble into a crappy thread I just use my trusty "back" button and all is peaceful again.

well it would help if people stopped replying to those threads :rolleyes:

I agree 30 days is to long, perhaps though a span of 3 posts and three days in the new members lounge would be enough... or something like that, just for a while as a mild deterrent.

But what about a 24 or 48hr rule? How about a 29 day, 17 hour and 13.2 minute rule? Have you ever considered these possibilities?

The only thing that really bother's me is the people that join to ask the name of a movie and then you never see them again.

I also don't see why some people go through the process of siging up and never even make a single post.

Even a 24 hour period to weed out the spambots for Cialis and such should at least be considered. Or at least put a catchpa in the registration process.
