PETITION: to reinstate the post minimum to make new threads
Dont know if this is going to do any good...
This is a petition to reinstate the post count minimum to create new threads. Its already getting out of hand with noobs (less than 5 posts) creating threads to ask SIMPLE things and things that have been covered 316546155 times.
I also believe we should have something like this that also has a link to the ADVANCED Search box
Please vote YAY or NAY in the poll.

Eh, it doesn't really matter. They're all going to go around and post ***** to get their 15 posts anyway which is just as annoying if not more annoying because then they'll do that and make their simple threads.

I rather have a noob bump an old thread rather than starting a new one. There are already enough junk threads to sift through as it is.

Everyone cries when a new thread is posted and a cry when old threads are bumped. This thread should be deleted. Its a waste of bandwidth.

The 15 posts were to prevent spammers, not noob threads:

who cares if some n00b posts a question that has been answered a hundred times...If you dont want to answer the question, then just
and move on to the next thread....the 15 post rule wasn't intended to stop n00b threads...

- 15 posts was to prevent spammers from spamming the board. we implemented new ways to prevent spamming.
- take your pick...noob bumping an old thread or posting in an unrelated thread just to get their count up...OR noob create new threads.
- you had to work with the 15 post rule...everyone else should? really? i used to have to use a paper map...now everyone have electronic GPS. let's remove all GPS systems and let's go back to paper maps and pay phones.
we can tell noobs to search until we're blue in the face. there's search everywhere...there's even a search box...search is stated in the stickies...you think they even look at the stickies?!...you think they care? they will post a new thread anyway. it's your call if you want to answer or move on.
as much as i like to see things get voted on...the noobs are clearly out numbered by the people who are not noobs...hence this poll will be very very bias towards turning back on the 15 post rule.
sorry...unless there's a serious problem (you crying about seeing someone create another thread that was answered is not considered serious) the 15 post rule will stay off.

IMO, it is better without the minimum. I am not saying it is good to have noobs starting all these new threads, but they are going to do it one way or another.
The minimum just makes them post random non-sense in threads and bump old threads just to get another post, not to contribute to the thread. Then once they get enough pointless posts, they just start the new thread anyway.
Well, thats what I did atleast.
