I agree with you there. I don't mind working up to 250 posts or whatever, but me getting karma isn't something I see happening anytime soon.

Given that we tend to desire post quality over quantity I don't even think having the 250 posts or the karma is a good idea.

I think It took me over a year to break the 250 mark (then again I quit posting for 8 months).

To be honest, we tend to keep an eye on general post count for Karma.  If we notice a member with a lot of posts and no karma, we are likely to go back through their last few dozen posts.  If they are contributing at all (and you have been so far), they may get a cookie for that rather than for any specific post.  This recognizes people who add a little all the time, but aren't interested in posting big threads.

I'm going to have to agree with banana on this. I assume the point of the karma thing is to make sure there is no spam etc, but i don't see what the problem with just banning the troublemakers is (or something like that that would disallow you to enter if you've been bad). Add a post count to that and it would be quite difficult to just make a new account if you've been banned to get in. I would hate to have to write a whole six page tactic report just to get to the enclave.

On a side note could anyone tell me what the requirements are for the trade board? My brother cant get on it and I haven't for the life of me been able to find a thread on it.

The Trading board has a 75 post count minimum.

Will the karma requirement get noted in the forum rules because the last time I checked a few days ago it only said 250 posts.

I've updated the forum rules now

[Sidstyler]

So it's 250 posts or a point of karma, instead of requiring both.

No complaints here then.

Pays to read the entire thread (although having it stretch over ~7 pages for you guys, I can see why not )

I have no idea why you assume I didn't read it. I did, I had just checked the forum rules to see if you did, in fact, go ahead with that change and commented to show that I was glad to see that.

Was it wrong of me to assume that things might change?

Heresy!

Things never change, change is Tau-like and this site is a loyal member of the Imperium! Those commie Tau will never... Wait a second!   

I'm happy enough with the opinion that the rule isn't terribly unbalanced in any way.

I never knew the Enclave was that crazy/out of hand though.

Not so much since I never ever have to see those Enclave Games keep popping up in my Show new replies to your posts. And anyway, Enclave is naturally ain't something you want someone too new and/or too unfamiliar with the forum etiquette to explore especially when they discover the Enclave Games.

I did forget the Enclave Games section. With the recent measures, my mind has had time to heal/blank out those painful times to some degree. 

Your other point is good as well Zenai, it'd be different if we had SD and D outside the Enclave or as an stepping stone (say at 150 or something), just to get people more used to the idea of well thought out posts and posting quality standards. I don't know how difficult that may be for the programmers though, I tend to think FT and crew can do pretty much anything with the site. 

[The Strange Child]

I tend to think FT can y'xa'uk the site up in many interesting ways

Fixed.
