I-share ko dito kasi alam ko dami magtatanong na mga Jr. member na bababa ang rank to newbie kaya basa muna tayo bago magcomplain.
At para doon sa hindi nagpupunta sa ibang section or board.
Meta thread link :
New Announcement Due to excessive garbage-posting, you now need 1 merit to be a Jr Member. All existing Jr Members who didn't meet the requirement were demoted. Also, newbies can no longer set
any signature or personal text.
Note that this does not affect:
- PM rate-limiting, which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
- "You must wait ___ seconds...", which is based purely on activity & whitelisted status.
But it does affect:
- Voting in polls
- Patroller jurisdiction
- The "ignore newbie PMs" option.
- "The body is omitted from this email because the sender is a newbie."
- BBCode limits
- Reduced-accuracy link filtering
- Board restrictions
Many of these limitations can be eliminated with a
copper membership. In particular, you can set a signature at Member level if you wear a copper membership.
One reason that I was hesitant to do this before is that there are an awful lot of newbie restrictions, and I don't want the forum to be unwelcoming to
good newbies. I'll think about tying some of those to activity instead of rank in the future.
With help from DdmrDdmr, I just added 36 new merit sources, which should help newbies achieve the requirement. But if you're incapable of posting anything worthwhile, then you will never rank up, and you shouldn't: this isn't the forum for you.

Theymos (Administrator)What is ur take on this new rules/restrictions that is been implemented?
In my opinion:- This won’t affect the newcomers who are interested in this forum and it will only make this a better place for them to come and enjoy, then won't be annoyed by spammers.
- If you’re Demoted from Jr. member to Newbie then you must start posting a much helpful thread/replies to be merited. (1 merit exactly)
- Merit Sources increases then that’s a good news, hoping one of them is from the Philippines.
