I don't really see much purpose in the 50 post rule seeing as people just spam it anyway. Trying to do it with legitimate content is tedious and longwinded.
And that captcha thing about decoding books, I thought that was only for the google ones that have two words, one being the captcha and then the more readable one being a word from a book?
I mean if you wanted to get tinfoil hats about it imagine if captchas were some weird coded way of making you reveal system info about your connection/PC or something by displaying it in code and you typing it into the script.

That's true for Google's reCAPTCHA but here I don't think this is the case.

It is definitely not the case here.

I am also curious about this.

Same here. Just got a message by Libertas (a very harsh sounding one, too).

:-/

Can you copy+paste it? or summarize it?

Maybe it's just me, but the tone of that message was very...hmm, a little different from what I expected the tone around here would be. :(

Well, you have to bear in mind that drug trafficking is serious shit. This isn't a forum for discussing computer games or economics or something, it's a business orientated system for consumers, distributors and suppliers. While slightly impolite, the warning does make justifiable sense, really.
The 50 post rule should maybe be 25 or something it'd probably reduce spam.

Fair enough. We're new to this.

Me too man I'm just posting to get to 50 too so I can post reviews on items I've bought etc.

I'm very new to the forums, as I'm sure you can tell, but I approve of the 50 post rule, and I don't think spamming should be allowed.

The reason for the rule is to encourage proper conversations, and to filter out those who just want to troll, or spam. I think the rule, when implemented properly, can really help to form high quality topics and well thought out responses.

Maybe I'm a bit jaded, but I plan on slowly achieving my 50 posts, and using this time to benefit the community, and make quality posts. The 'Newbie Discussion' board shouldn't be filled with 'spam to 50' posts, that does nothing for the community, in my personal opinion.

the 50 post rule is OK even though its a pain in the ass (and leads to unnecessary posts like this one)
