I've gotten alot of email and PMs from people confused about why they can post in other section, but not in here.
To put a little more control in the posting on this section of the site, we've implemented some new controls:
1) We've limited the posting of "new" threads to BIG DOGS, site supporters and EF BABES - those who are looking to participate and earn their "BIG DOG" status can either participate in active threads (you can reply, but not create a new post) by posting material that earns you reputation points or you can step up as a site supporter.
2) We've limited replying to POB threads to "Active" members of this site; an active member is someone defined as: having 20 or more posts, has been a member at least 5 days and who has 10 rep points (the number given as a starting point, meaning you havent been neg repped below your starting point).
We hope that in doing this, those who go through this process will be a little more aware of our rules and expected to adhere to them. The "free for all" mentality of those who haven't taken the time to read our rules and placed a huge burden on our Moderators have made this change necessary.
The most often violated rules are: no posting of photo sets, no requesting photo sets, no "teen" picture posting, no password sharing, no posting of prohibited content.
Read the rules. Learn the rules. Follow the rules.
We will ban accounts without any consideration of warnings for those who cannot respect our forum and its rules.
