    @ SteveC...

    I've a dog alright :P

    Writing "Mary loves Dick" won't get me access to a lot of things.

    My point was this:

    When you get 50 posts, the moderator in question will search and see if you just spammed random forums or if you are someone with a genuine interest in the boards community.

    The problem with soccer was when people got banned, they just re-registered a new username and continued the same crap they were banned for. Hence the time rule as well.

    Have a look around boards - srsly, you'll like it here.

    Here's my two cents.

    I dislike the 50 post limit in the Soccer forum. That would be the only forum I would have interest in yet I am found posting in other forums I wouldn't post in otherwise just to meet this limit.

    I think if you are a geniune poster you should have a case to get in, regardless of post count.

    This is boards. I'm sure there's enough forums on here to get you 50 posts quickly enough. The only reason its there is so the mods can ensure you're not a complete troll before admitting you.

    Get over it, sure you've 35 already ;)

    If you're really only here for the football, then why not post on the sports trivia forum with football questions?

    You'll clock up the remaining 15 posts or so in no time.

    in fairness boards is a pretty diverse place and it can surprise you in places. if you cant find somewhere meaningful to place 50 posts, well then you may just be more suited to a dedicated soccer website.

    I dislike marzipan.


    There is a sticky on the forum explaining why we have a 50 posts limit (indirectly).

    Well done OP!
    I for one welcome his input as a soccer fan. As long as he is a Man U fan.

    What do you mean? Is "he" a "she"? If so how was I supposed to know? :)

    I think we resolved this.

    Eire-Dearg, can you muster enough dial-up power to confirm you now have access?
