IMO requiring members to post content in order to be able to post other types of content (as in a personal journal) is a bit counter productive. If this was a gate to posting verified recommendations, adverts, etc. I can understand that. But a personal grow journal. That's turning me off, and perhaps others as well.
If this was not to change some information on the gated area's as to the gating mechanism would be appreciated. As-is there is no indication on the personal journal page that one must post x amount or do y things to gain access to this functionality.
So many good resources on this site. But there should be some encouragement to grow the community.
We require very minimal requirements it usually takes new members less than a day to have their requirements done
this is to ensure we keep spam that finds its way past our system off the forum itself
Members are allowed to create grow journal THREADS located in the grow journals section they are required to wait a minimal time before having access to the blog feature
Being new member this is often an area of confusion the grow journal blog area isn't very widely used by our main forum members
You may feel it's counter productive this is incorrect if anything it helps new users get more active within the actual thread areas as most users come here to get help.
the blog area "grow journals" specific to what you are speaking about isn't very widely used and when it is it's not a place to ask questions about your grow as most users don't visit the blog feature to help
Thanks for your input but you will understand what I mean after using the forum in some more time
It is unlikely we will ever change our permission settings as our spam has highly decreased since we've activated it
This thread is also outdated feel free to read my thread basic site functions and FAQ in support to use our website to the best
Welcome to rollitup I'm going to unpin and close this thread as it contains irrelevant information from 2010 which was 2 software platforms ago
