It will at least ensure that they are sedulous scammers.
If you do that don't make it automatic at 100, mods to check to make sure it's not all 1 word or smillie. Just a quick check to make sure it's proper posts. Doesn't have to be a thesis, just more than a :lol:

We can although just disable post count there to be on top of the things ...
That would be a must I think.

Just like to say that I hate the cheaters/scammers with a passion and would willingly put up with any restrictions necessary to eliminate even a small portion of them.

I think the basic problem with this is that an FST account/invite would then become a commodity in the same way as private trackers are now. I have no doubt that FST accounts would soon be traded or sold on other forums.
The easiest and quickest way to get rid of the scum would be to ban account trading and introduce IP blocking. It wouldn't stop them trading....it just wouldn't be here. Life would be a lot more civilised here then.

On the flip side it might just result in a hell lot of spam in the lounge section with topics like "when do you think the Queen lost her virginity" ,
"HOw much mustard do u put on your HotDog"
Re: Make Accessing The BT Invite Section By Invitation Only

Correct me if I'm wrong but one of the functions the lounge serves is to have a place to post frivolous topics.
