Deleting messages shouldn't have to "hurt".
On a more general note -- I'm enjoying these suggestions. I've seen other boards with a "require X posts before allowing Y" rule (Thundersplace is one, for example), and I believe it lowers overall post quality, thanks to members trying thoughtlessly to reach that X-post threshhold. |
No, I've done so several times but it's a poor subsitute for having them available 'online'.
I suspect threshold posting may do just what yous say, so perhaps some form of "rate my post" button on newbie's posts with access by mods/gold/'established' members only? They could build up a point score to release any restriction. It's less dependent on post count, more dependent on quality? I appreciate all these suggestions have loopholes and flaws but this is a rare opportunity.
Focussing on the nitty gritty practicalities should wait a while yet, IMO.
