@Alan. I understand the rule, but I've been on the forum for 2 years, surely that excludes me from the fly-by-night crowd?
Hence no-one banning you or deleting your posts. ? This despite you only having three posts, one an audio clip, one a video and one wondering why no-one had responded to your audio clip (which was a wav file BTW). In other words, you posted successfully and
no-one deleted or banned you. So I fail to see where the problem is... How have we failed you? ? Actually, if you
had been moderated you wouldn't be able to discuss it on the forum publicly like this, thanks to another of our pesky rules limiting discussion of moderation action to PMs only. ? As it is, guaranteed that whenever we "bend" a rule to make an exception, someone will try to use it as precedent to get away with something within a few months.
It should be changed to amount of posts or time spent as a member or even an exception to allow maybe a very busy well know producer to post here even if its once a year.
Post counts are a good solid metric to use and give us something that we can review when in doubt. Time is - as they say - relative. I've seen unused accounts start posting crap only after a few years. To be brutally honest, if anything, a low post count after a couple of years would usually count
against someone, as it shows they are likely here more for what the forum can do for them, rather than to take part in the community (no offence meant - I'm not saying that is the case here).
