I think I've covered this ad nauseam since the minimum posts started at 10 back on August 6th. *(86)
L10 started posting here back on June 26th and all that was asked on August 6th is that you had 10 posts made to continue to view his valuable information along with Service Plays and Fade The Experts.
Mind you 41 days went by and that wasn't even a half a post a day to get you to 10.
The freeview period went into effect August 12th and advised that the amount of posts was going up to 50 on August 18th.
So anyone that had/has 50 or more posts would still be able to view the forum in its entirety.
L10 and I are in full agreeance on this. We don't want people coming viewing the information, making some money on the information and not giving back to the site.
Posting is easy. However I want quality posts, posts that are of benefit to everone in some fashion. Whether it's you posting your own picks and keeping a tally, offering trends/angles. Starting a topic on who will win the super bowl, mlb playoffs, college football title winner, I can go on and on.
It's a sports and gambling forum, it's what should be talked about.
I am not trying to come off in a negative way here but let's face it, moochers are not what I want here.
If people can't take a few seconds to make a post or two a day then I don't want them to be a member. A community is only as good as it's members and if the members aren't contributing to the community, then it's dead.
If it's dead, it's not worth my time, my effort nor my money to continue to do it. I think everyone would agree to that.
Was I expecting people to make 50 posts in a week period, how about over a 55 day period which isn't one a day still.
As far as my criteria, I am the Owner. Nothing more needs to be said.
Once again, I will state it again, I am not trying to be difficult here, be an ass, a prick or whatever you want to use.
I am however trying to have people active and have the forum be your home. There is a ton of information posted daily, there is a lot of interactive areas that you won't find elsewhere unless they copy it from me.
Being an active and contributing member of the forum is a must. You are here for a reason, you are wagering on "something", post your picks, start conversations, be a contributor.
It's easy, so easy even a caveman can do it.
