Test post please ignore

Contrary to popular belief, not everyone uses Facebook, or is interested in linking their online identities if they do. So, the alternate would be required in any case.

I don't think a whole whopping ten posts is a major burden. I mean, this is a discussion board. So, we can kind of expect folks to want to enter into discussions. It should not take long to find ten things you'd like to make legitimate comment upon.

I never said anything about everyone having a FB account. Pretty snarky, dude. Are all the mods here like that?

I was proposing an OR (X posts OR established FB user) statement, not completely replacing any mechanism you may have.

"Whopping 10 posts" is pretty arbitrary, don't you think? Why not 5? 20? And why doesn't the software tell you this when you're using it to insert photos or URLs instead of saying "a few" after you try to submit?

It's early in enworld's reboot, and at this point, I think it odd to get such negative feedback from staff about a positive suggestion for improvement.

BTW, other sites use non-posting criteria to establish trust (read threads, vote, complete profile, etc.) - so there are other ways. But now I'm less interested in helping with more positive suggestions... After all, apparently you've got it all figured out.

The intent is that maybe folks would spend those posts on threads with active discussions, rather than dredging up long-dead threads for the purpose.

The last reply to this thread was 7 years ago. I'd give credit for accomplished necromancy.
