Plus, do you not think its just etiquette to make yourself known before you hijack something from what is essentially a community?

exactly. I don't think three posts is really alot to ask, considering the amount of samples/tracks there are to download.

That's exactly what they're doing now, but in addition to downloading everything, they're cluttering up the forum with 3 useless "Hi" posts then never coming back. You can't *force* people to play along...if you raise the theshold to 10, then there will be 10 "Hi" posts per average new user.
Unless of course the point is to get the registered users and post count numbers up in order to generate more unique page hits and jack up the ad revenue Now that makes sense.

Guess the only way to prevent it keeping the current scheme is to make the download membership less automatic and "hire" a mod squad to check all those with post count =3 if posts were meaningful and (manually) grant membership accordingly.

I try to do that, but when someone makes a meaningless topic, members just post in it too, so i cant remove the first post then, because the whole thread doesnt make sence anymore, or i have to remove the whole thread then, but then people are bitching because something got removed.
