Wow, so you're through the simple "Introduce yourself" requirement, and all you need to do is participate a bit to get to a point where you have free run of the board, to where you can interact with and see everything the place has to offer.
But instead, you whine and kvetch and piss and moan. Why create an account two years ago and then suddenly come back? Do you expect everything you do to never change when you leave for a year? We move on, have to implement new checks or controls, or we just do things differently than you remember.
Don't bitch when you're gone for a while and the things you remember are gone. If you're not comfortable with that, then you're in the wrong place. Adapt or leave. Perform, or be recycled.
Not all dissent is bitching or kvetching, so come up with a real response.
The NSFW limitation prevents me from getting through the next hoop as previously explained. I didn't suddenly come back. I visit regularly and participate on my terms, not yours.
As a ham, I enjoy your posts more than most others and upvote accordingly. I'm sad to see you take my opinion like this.
These rules arbitrarily create a barrier to nsfw vieiwing and I take issue with that the most. Most speak so as many as possible can hear. I don't understand why this site is choosing to block audience.
Maybe I'm the only dumbass who feels this way, but you're shuttering those who need to hear what is said here.
These rules, the introduction and the NSFW ones, were put into place because when something interesting happens, or is about to happen, old accounts that have participated very little (or not at all) suddenly show up.
The introduction requirement is a simple test to see if the account is a bot. No introduction, no participation. Even if a person participated a little two years ago when they signed up, it takes little effort to get to the bypass level of 6. Some actual participators that simply wandered away and came back because they remembered Poal was here are going to get caught in the net, but letting an account age in the background is a common tactic on other forums. It's a simple test, but it's not a perfect one.
The NSFW thing was said to be because some of these sleeper accounts seem to want to collect this data. The amount of hollering about said NSFW restriction seems to prove the point, because there's nothing really under that tag that's so intriguing that you can't live without it. A lot of NSFW is just shitposting because certain subs enforce the tag.
But with your case, I don't understand the problem. That you're posting somewhere other than introduction seems to indicate you've bypassed the restriction of posting. Have you tried posting other stuff to build up your level? You're almost to 6, which should grant you free run of the board.
I guess it is kind of a bug that an intro post can be flared as NSFW and thus be invisible to the new user that just posted it. I think that is a legitimate complaint that should be fixed.
Unless I'm misinterpreting how the system works.
I do hope to contribute and level up. My only argument about the NSFW content is I really enjoy the 4Chan posts. That is a sub I have followed since I first joined. I hate seeing a new post and not being able to view it.
Requiring lightly used sleeper accounts to re-introduce themselves is an AWESOME idea! Thank you for your proactive and creative solutions!
Please keep the NSFW blocking. Personally I wouldn't be upset if poal were to make the blocking stricter given the upcoming american election cycle.
I commented on your post. You should be able to reply to my comment.
Thanks for trying. Unfortunately, I don't see that reply in my messages, can't see the original post, and can't create a new introduction because I already posted one.
