Old and New members alike, please read

[The Shape]

Right Goboy,

This was not directed at you or any member that keeps their replies to a short "thanks" only to members who post the required 5 posts in a span of 5 minutes to activate the album features.

It's also not just "new" members, I have seen many instances lately of people who have been here for over 2 years suddenly doing this and it's only too obvious.

The funny thing to me is that after these initial 5 posts are made, there are no more, and back to lurking. It's just using a loophole and that's no good.

Of course you and your contributions here are very much appreciated

look at the last 7 posts in the May Competition thread same stuff there. would locking the past comp threads be a good idea?

[The Shape]

Thanks uncut,

No I don't think it would matter. People can post pretty much anywhere in the free section so it wouldn't really deter anything.

It's a shame how some people treat the forum like just another place to grab stuff. It's so much more rewarding when you make friends here and get to know some people.

Simply put: Warnings and infractions are the only thing that MIGHT work. I have been running Facial-related communities in general for years and this is something that, although it annoys every single -active- member, will always be the norm.

Regardless, as you said, Shape - It is indeed infinitely more rewarding when you get to know the fine people behind the uploads.

Being someone who would probably fit the profile of the quick poster, I can understand why there is some frustration. A lot of people come to this forum to share their love of facials and by just sending 5 repetitive posts that do not have any thought placed into them. Many of the posters have put a great deal of time and effort into their work and the posting of their work. That said, this may be a new site for many people and although they may make a few quick replies, that may not mean that they're trying to take away from the community. Again, I can understand how that's perceived, but at the same time, a community is built by people contributing. Aren't the people who post a few quick lines contributing too? And also, i'm having a hard time trying to put together an album of some of the facial pics that I have. It seems i don't have sufficient privileges. I'd like to put in my share of facials, some of the beautiful women that i've seen receiving facials, not to mention my own experiences. It's been a little difficult thus far.

I'm basically asking if there is some sort of timeline that new person must wait before he/she can get to the 5 posts and start being an active member of the community.

This site is literally everything that i've been looking for. You have pics of beautiful women (professional and amateur) with great amounts of sperm on their faces. This turns me on to no end. But I want to make sure that I can participate in this community too and if I cannot fully comment on posts or construct albums, how can this be done?

I can see the idea of weeding out people who may just be looking for a quick way to get off, but what about guys like me who genuinely, GENUINELY love looking at them, giving them (if i'm lucky enough), talking about them and sharing media with them in it?

Ultimately, I love what you guys do here. I'm glad that this forum is here.

*steps down off soapbox*

Agreed. But I cannot say I'm guilty of doing the same. If you going to post a thank you or a compliment, at least be very productive with your responses.

That pretty much says it all. I've been lurking here for years. Reading this has finally opened me up to the idea of interacting with like minded people. (It's so refreshing to know there are many of you out there!) I don't know if I'll ever convince my wife to agree to post new content, but at least this is a step in the right direction. Thanks guys!

Actually I can sympathize with both sides on this. Yes, it's annoying when you read a thread that's been bumped, only to find a one or two word post. However, I can also understand people's desire to get access to as much as possible in as short a time as possible. It's really just human nature to be just a little bit greedy.

Also, I'm sure that those who either start or contribute to threads on a regular basis are happy to get the acknowledgement for their efforts, no matter how long or short it might be. To be honest, when my thread received only a couple of responses, I'd have been grateful for a few of these posts, just to show that someone had bothered to look. (Thanks to those who did respond BTW, it was much appreciated).

Perhaps the best thing is to watch how they act after those first few posts. If they continue to post, if only to say thanks, then at least they are contributing in a small way. It's those who stop posting after those first few that need to be given a little nudge.

I've only been reading the forum a few days, and noted your concerns about "quick posters". As someone with, well, this is just my second post, so perhaps I don't have much to say yet, but I had a thought.

It occurs to me that other forums get around this problem by instituting a Thanks button, and banning short Thank You posts altogether. That way, only posts of substance are allowed, and all us folks who want to say Thanks but wouldn't want to be seen as Quick Posters can express our gratitude. Not sure if this forum software allows that - I'm so non-web savvy I still don't know which end of the internet to speak into - so I'm just tossing the idea out there. Shoot it down by all means!

Maybe I don't get the sense of this "5-posts" hurdle...
Someone can post 5 "great pics" in 5 diffrent threads and no one would notice...
Of course I get the point that it is quite rude whren some one registers and posts 5 times bullshit in the same thread, but you can't really prevent this when you want to have this 5 posts hurdle.
I know it sucks when you log in and you see for example the Pixel-Thread at the top - but then there is just a new "great pics" comment and no new pics....but I'm also sure you don't want the people to stop giving compliments - whether they are short or not
I think the 5 posts hurdle is sensless if you don't use it to delete accounts who start here with avoiding rules like in your 5:51, 5:52, 5:53 ... example
