Suggestion A 10 Post Explanation

[Daisie]

A lot of people constantly ask about the 10 post requirement even though it's in the FAQs. I suggest making a sticky thread explaining in simple terms what this rule means so that it can catch the eye easier before people post a thread about it here in the community hub. Just to make things a little easier.

New Accounts - 10 Post Rule

We've tried to put it in logical places, but in the end it comes down to whether people look for it or just make a new thread to ask.


We once had three different threads on the first page of this section all asking the same thing; clearly they didn't bother to look even to see if someone else has the same question. I don't think it's laziness so much as just being overwhelmed and just wanting to ask and be done, but either way, we can sticky as much as we want and there will still be people who don't see it.

Ahh, okay! I understand. It's a little unfortunate.. :/
Do you think it would help if a PM was sent to them upon joining that explained it...? Or is that already a thing? It's a little harder to miss a notification.

It's already a thing. Unfortunately most end up not reading it.
