1000 Post Nonsense

[standards]

Who on earth suggested the arbitrary 1000 posts before being ‘trusted’ to post on NP&E?!

Ridiculous.

Unimpressed.

Probably designed to stop banned members returning?

If anything it just encourages arguments between the more militant members with huge post counts and discourages new members joining the discussion.

Agreed. And especially silly if a new member had genuine expertise in an area being discussed…

[shrug] It's their ball, goalposts, pitch and rules.

I wouldn't have been surprised if they hadn't deleted NP&E altogether. It's not unknown for websites to remove their forums as simply not worth the trouble. And with the upcoming legislative changes I suspect the idea is still rattling round PH Towers.

I think it's mainly there to weed out people who can't be bothered to use the search function to see if their point has already been addressed by a massive long thread in the last few days.
