2 or 3 word posts

**varbo** · October 22nd, 2007, 05:46 PM

Would it be possible that junior members not be allowed to post to the fitness babes sections. I'm not saying that they're all bad but most of the 2 or 3 word posts are from people who have less than 15 posts. My hope would be that they'd learn the way of the site before they'd be tempted to drop a useless comment. Besides a junior member cant post a picture anyways, can they?
Just a thought.

Good idea verbo

there should be a setting the admins can adjust that will prevent sthem from posting in a specific forum area UNTIL they've reached a certain number of posts....of course, that cold just encourage more spamming, one word posts....but you're always going to have people trying to get around whatever you do....

We need some kinda probation system where members are, especially newer members who post these useless and sometimes assanine comments, restricted from viewing this site...or more specifically the fitness babes section where most of the comments occur. Each infraction warrants a longer term of being "banned". I wish they could be fined or better yet slapped upside the head for some of the comments they make. Who's with me??!!

FitnessPhotos and I will continue to talk about this issue. Ultimately, it's his site, and his decision to make.

In the meantime, please feel free to use (but not abuse) the "Report Bad Post" button that's available for your use. Please keep in mind that none of the forums are constantly monitored by the moderators, though. And I generally agree with Eva's points.

At least there are replies; and when the model/competitor in question happens to browse those threads, I'm sure they're flattered at the positive comments, no matter how short they may be. Complete sentences of 10 or more words will always be preferred, however.

Are they innapropriate posts or something? Insulting?

... who cares...

Man this site hasn't changed much. People still bitchin about the same stuff. Is the rule still intact where a newbie has to post at least 15 times before he can put pics up?

I believe in the 15 post rule, it at least keeps spammer from joining here and posting porn all over the place. and might, just might, cross your fingers, give the new members that have under 15 posts a chance to maybe learn the rules before messing up and posting copyrighted material

I said cross your fingers

the thing I don't like is, you must post at least one picture with your post in the babe forums. not that the rule exists but, top members have gotten negged for not posting pictures with their posts and sometimes the posts deleted.

2 or 3 word post should be changed to meaningless posts, because that's what they are. it's not the rule that's a bad thing, it's sometimes certain members take it the extreme

that's my 2 penny loafers

I just put it on here because its annoying. I don't have a lot of posts because I only say something if I think I can contribute. If an EF Babe puts a pic up and you compliment her on it, then I don't have a problem with that, but if someone just replys to a random pic with "beautiful" or "nice arse" that isn't really contibuting. I seem to think that's what the thanks and reps buttons are for.

It was just a suggestion and its up to the owners of the site to decide what they want to do.

Hopefully FP and Bruce will do something soon because it is getting very annoying. I typically worn the newbies first, politely, and then neg rep them every time they say something stupid after that. The problem is it is a different person each night that floods the board with " I'd like to smack that ass" comments. It's a never ending battle.
