how come people with 4 post access invite section?

ive seen this now on more than one occasion and have also been pm'd by people wanting to trade etc... with less than 10 posts

what the hell is going on?

I think the rule is you need to be a member for 1 month to get access to the bittorrent section

that is gayer than richard simmons. shouldnt there be a minimum post count?

It's only 30 days, and 1 post, to be granted access, and I think that post is only so the system recognises you as being here and grants the access automatically.

There is no posts limit.

I just reply with "read my sig"

adding a post count requirement just encourages spam.

All that would do is encourage spam.

EDIT: misledhope beat me to it.

Yep, that's why the post count was removed.

It was lowered from 10 to 5 as the spam around the forum and the amount of bumps of four year threads was ridiculous. Just wasn't worth it.

yes i believe there WAS a post count minimum back when i joined the site last year. i didnt know that they had ever removed it

Actually funnily enough that was exactly what happened on Revolt during the open signup, there is a post requirement on the forum and as kallieb said there was a barrage of single word posts and 2 year old threads resurrected from the dead, all this ensured though was a very quick exit from the community, for the spammers in question.
