Default Over 18, 100 Posts?

Just a quickie about the over 18 section and needing to have 100 post in order to apply... Im sure im not the only person who has notice people clearly spamming to get there post count up so they can join the over 18 section.... this is mainly in off topic.. To avoid people joining,Spamming then perving is there not a way you could do it that at least 25% - 50% of that 100 must be within the other sections??

Just an idea.

I bet if you made it in different forums though people would just post "Hi" on the welcome threads, "Nice snake" on the pictures thread, and "I agree" on the advice/help threads.

It does seem "our" forum has been taken over a bit latley though dosnt it? and tbh most of them would be better of on perve forum anyway!! Im the first to get me kit off for a laugh but........


I think the post count should be FAR higher say 500 ,them most wouldnt bother !!

i know I am cool with the perv thread and having a laugh but seems lots of people on the forum for that alone. I would love to know how many people are on here for that but never read any other post wether its off topic or not

Just a thought but the influx may also have been due to livefoods being offline aswell?

i have had this conversation with a few members all who have posts well into four figures and most agree it has kinda taken some of the fun out of the forum of late,most of the users of off topic before were all high posters in the rest of the forum too

(obviously) I dont go on the perv threads or the 18+ section
but it does seem to me that 100 posts is not enough, why dont you ahve to have a certain amount ofg ood fedback, so you know they are actually helping.
