Very low possibility unless with one group of accounts swarming into a cyber cafe to gain access.

These are some of the common FAQs that were raised via forum feedback, offline discussions with members, pertaining to the mandatory first 20 moderated posts:

Why is there a need for moderated post counts for new members?

The first 20 moderated posts concept was implemented primarily to target at positive contribution of knowledge sharing by newly joined members.

To deter any potential trouble makers to join the forum to create trouble.

What is positive and what is not?

It is not difficult to identify what is a positive post in terms of its content from a negative one, or rather a non-constructive post. There is definitely a difference between heartfelt sharing in posts rather than nothing but just mere congratulatory or non constructive comments such as the following:

1. Thanks for sharing.
2. Nice nice, great pictures!
3. Beautiful amulets there!
4. The list goes on and on..

While we are rather lenient in moderating some of the posts, but to have 20/20 such irrelevant posts are unacceptable.

Why 20 posts then?

20 is just a guide, it can be 100, but not feasible.

Then why fully pledged members can have posts of the above mentioned "irrelevant/non-constructive posts"and not newly joined members?

To be very frank, we do not encourage that type of posts, be it from whichever level of member groups. This is not double standard also, its just that firstly, in any forum, there can never be a 100% check or moderation of posts or threads by the administrators or moderators, we cannot simply have a forum of 100% check on all posts made (moderated). That itself already defeated the purpose of an online discussion forum. In addition, a forum should thrive to promote responsible writings held by members, so as to achieve positive growth as a community. Therefore the first 20 moderated post is applicable in the initial stage of new joined members. To put words simply, if you are positive, 20 posts are nothing, and vice versa, 1 x solid post you also cannot cough out.

I made xx number of posts today and only x number of posts were approved?

The administrators and moderators spent effort in previewing all posts made and only acceptable ones were approved. Do not post just for the sake of posting.
