I and some of my friends have been following and appreciating daiblofans as well as the new news, and press up dates, for a while now I personally have just made an account. Just because people have less that 50 posts does not mean that they are ignorant or do not know anything.
Just my oppinion
50 posts isn't that many, and its not that punishing. You can still post.... just not create topics. Most forums have these rules anyways....
That's just shoving the problem a bit further away though, as the topics would become that much harder to follow (internally).
I already automatically skip most posts by people with < 100 posts in the majority of threads since this started. Its unfortunate but its my way of filtering the spam.
(Don't want to continue the quote-pyramid)
To the poster (a bit) above me: that would not change the current surge of "for the sake of posting" posts, which aren't on topic. Topics or posts, this is bound to happen under such conditions.
My main concern is less about the post... i can skip past those. Its about the new topics being created. That is more spammy that the posts...
Look at me - Im member since May 2006 and yet I have never needed to post anything, becouse I was just reading. Ofc Ill start to post now becouse I want my freakin beta! The fact I play diablo since D1 demom got all Blizzard games and am signed up for beta testing for all blizz games (never picked for single beta) wont help me get beta becouse Im from Europe!
And I believe there is a lot of ppl out there who are just like me. Yet, you call us noobs and want us to be muted. Nice job.
You can post... just not start a new topic until you hit 40 posts. Its not THAT hard to post 40 things. I've done it in a day myself before.
That would lead only to even WORSE spam situation! Everyone would be forced to make 40/50 stupid comments and spam only in order to repost new topic and have chance to win beta key! DiabloFans should have think about this sooner and make it something like "random registred member drawing" not from posts
Dude ... for being here "since 2006" you don't know wtf you are talking about.
Contest is not for threads... its for posts.... wtf?
It may be for posts, but people want to make new topics since they were already forced to register, and in order to do that they would have to spam! You sir are troll nothing more.
Wtf are you talking about? People would simply post in existing threads and topics to get their post counts. New topics are not required to get a key... new topics are not required at all.

Yep, everyone is spam making new threads about topics that already have ongoing threads, or have been discussed for so long time it's nothing more to say.
But thats how it is when they make these kind of giveaways, they actually "forcing" people to spam the forum for a chance at the beta key.
Allowing new people to post is sure OK, I'm new here and it's nothing wrong with that.
But being able to start new threads with lower than 50 post or less memebership than 3 days is not good, not good at all.
Right now we are getting like 100 new threads every our, all about nonsense.
Exactly. I'm cool with newbies postings... but if we actually forced them to search they would probably find their answers!
Sounds a bit harsh, but I sort of get where you are comming from. Still, I think it's way too harsh on the new guys, let them post. Maybe there should be a beginner's forum section. A place where they can ask the questions they want while the normal D3 topics continue unhindered.
Just remember you were also a first timer long ago.
All it requires is 40 posts to create a topic. This means we won't have all the first post topics....
Please remove the ability of new members to start topics until they have at least 40-50 posts.
This is ruining the forum... i seriously cannot keep track of threads with all the new topic spam. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that they are making duplicate threads....
LOL qq more bro. its a forum with filters, figure it out . lots of people have beta like myself, and lots of people have questions regardless of how many posts they have so deal with it and stop crying
Then ask it in an existing thread bro. Lots of people have beta, and lots of people have already asked those questions regardless of how many posts you don't have.
lol says i with only 29 posts loll!!! i swear I've been here a while!!
I stopped caring about my odds of the beta last night. I came to the realization it just won't happen with the odds weighted in the favor of the sheer number of noobs.
