No New Threads for Newbies?

Hey guys,


Long time lurker here...had to make an account to put this out there:


Some forums have rules about new users not being able to start threads until they've made a certain number of posts. I think this site could use something like that. There are new threads every day posted by people who clearly haven't been following any of the current threads. They don't know who's still on the team (Wally and Smith are not tradable commodoties), they don't know the cap rules (we can't sign Odom to a $40mil contract), and they don't know how to read or post in stickied threads.


I feel like there is a 5 to 1 ratio, or worse, of threads that aren't ridiculously redundant or wildly ill-informed...


Just my thoughts after wading through about 15 useless threads in a row...haha


Thanks,


Mike

I actually like the idea. It'll prevent trolls from starting threads also. Hopefully a few of the mods read this and take your idea into consideration.

Cavfanatic- where bizarre trade ideas happen!

Great idea! this would be a very wise move for the mods to think about.

*The Cavs are destined for greatness in the 09-10 season.

*3 Cavs players will be named to the All-Star team.
-Lebron, Shaq, and Mo.

*Cavs will go 65-17

*If everything goes right, we will win a championship.

*Then LeBron signs a new deal with Cleveland.

*And we win 2 more titles down the road.

*Good luck Cavs, and cheers to us finally achieving our "One Goal" Which is to "win a ring for the king"

Makes good sense, although it wouldn't stop all the questionable threads (there are forum vets that also start these). 


It's good you got your 2 cents in now, because if this rule was in effect you wouldn't have been able to post it, lol.
