Access rights for General Discussion section, strating March 2008

I do not understand, I meet both requirements!

I've been on this forum since the beginning and participate in the historical section all the time, maybe not lately because I'm so busy, but that's why I come here!!! I do not understand why I am not allowed to use the General Discussion. I have 196 posts in the historical section!

I vote for panzer king.
He's right about "he's past".
Let him in!

I think I was pretty clear about this: you need to "file an application" in this topic first. I do not have the time to take every member and see if he/she fulfills the requirments, especially since many are not active any more. So, to save time and unnecessary work, those of you who do not have access to the GD section and meet one of the basic requirements for it, make a post in this topic and you will receive access.

Please read more carefully what I write.

Actually, it was not very clear because in the U.S., and probably in Romania too...an application is usually a form with questions and requirements. I literally thought there was an application to fill out.

That is why I did not understand!

If I would have known that I just needed to ask in this thread, I obviously would have done it now wouldn't I?

No need to be uptight Victor!

I'm old around here. Not much of a presence, but I'm old
Not very old really, but old enough to count me in.

Victor, would it be possible to let those of us who don't have rights to post in General Discussion still read it?

Putting the focus back on the historical sections of the forum, and getting rid of trolls and spammers are admirable goals for sure. But GD was interesting sometimes too, and what harm can it do to let the rest of us read it? Surely if people start moving their spamming or trolling to the historical sections that can be dealt with individually.

Also on a technical note, when the restriction went in to effect, it's as if our earlier posts just vanished. Before the restriction I had about 50% of my posts in GD. Now my "most active" forum is post-WW2 and recent, but that's still only 20%, or 102 posts. I haven't been posting like a madman in other historical sections, so I'm still about 50% in GD I think. The problem it creates is that without counting posts by hand, there is no way to know when I'm over the "150 historical posts" limit and can ask to be allowed back in to GD.

Done.
Also, you are welcome to GD forum

Thanks, and thanks!

Now for the sake of your health Dragos, please go to sleep.

There is no need to have 150 posts if you have been a member for more than 6 months.

Thanks for clarifying that. You did say "at least one" of the two conditions, for those who read the initial post carefully.

Sir,
Request permission to join G.D.

Give me rights to post in g.d. too, please.

Thanks,

Iama

Done.

Can i also join the "club"?

Yes
