No worries - I understand the frustration and the implication of the 50 post rule for those who haven't necessarily been as active here. The rule was a surprise even to us as moderators, but we're all adjusting to it together, and there's always a chance that the staff will tweak the policy in the future (since it is still a very, very new policy!). It was not due to the posts of new members (you'll see some incredibly ridiculous questions from even the "oldest" members here!) -- it really was primarily created as a way to help us get a handle on the spam, especially since there are only a few of us moderators here, and none of us can be here 24/7. Anyway, I appreciate that you can kind of understand, even if it is still frustrating to you. (also, feel free to start a thread to spam to 50 posts, if you'd like. there are a lot of threads like that in this section!) Thank you again for taking the time to express your opinion but also hear where we were coming from as well.
