What's new

Thread posting requirements

I suggest two restrictions on creating new threads:
  1. Threads by new members should require moderator approval.
    New members should be required to get a feel for the forum by
    posting at least 100 messages (or receiving 50 ratings) before
    they can create threads freely.
    What I see happening is new members create troll threads which
    immediately provokes a bunch of members into pointless flame
    wars.
  2. Posting news articles should require either at least 3 different
    sources
    - opinion pieces should only be accepted by popular
    sources.
    I've often found unsourced news articles explode into trollfests

Thoughts?

So for someone like me who has less than one hundred posts, I must get to that threshold and then make a payment to become a full member who can start threads?

I think restrictions like this should come with space for exemptions. All the threads I started were from a website that sourced Agence France-Presse. And I'm not prepared to post at a low quality all over the website just to get to a hundred posts before I can re-start contributing to the site at that level.

Please re-consider.

No payment is needed. The earlier posts about payment were a joke.
