You're like the 617th person to say something like that but strangely as of yet none of you have offered any suggestions.Originally Posted by Natal

So, I'm posting my second post in order to un-n00b myself, but I gotta say:
I agree with those saying this isn't the best method. The way to 'onboard' new users and get them participating isn't to force them to pass an arbitrary threshold, it's to *make them want to participate*. How to do that, I don't know - you guys know your site better than I do - but you gotta realize that most people spamming your forums right now are basically going to post twice and then be done.
One idea: instead of a comment section where it's 90% "thanks" and "low quality", turn it into a review area. Get people participating and talking *about the content*. Give the ability to heart reviews (for the positive feedback), and start engaging people around the content.

Possibly I'm blind but I don't see anything preventing anyone from reviewing stuff and "engaging" with other people here now.
Sure the people like yourself will only post twice but I doubt any improvement to the forums,which btw you seem totally oblivious to as you speak only of the NZB section ,would make the slightest difference.
On the other hand,maybe you could prove all I say wrong and post a review or try to engage with somebody and make me eat my cynical words.
I won't hold my breathe.
Respect my lack of authority.

They can do that already in the forums.
Another idea: make the users click through ads to get access, or make the section a donator perk. You could put your money where your mouth is. The ones who truly value the section beyond 2 post lip service will follow. The rest can find an alternative--plenty exist. It blows my mind users are still complaining about this.
good to know

Hey, sorry I'm a bit behind here, I just read the OP on this thread today. I've been offline for a couple days building a new PC! It's titties, AMD FX-8350, good ASUS mobo, 8gigs of Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3, SSD boot drive, AMD R9 270 GPU, Win 8.1 pro (bleh, I don't like it, but it sure boots up quick). It's a world of difference between this and the Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 4GB of DDR2 that I was using for a long time. Anyway, more to the point:
I'm pretty active in the NZB section, mostly posting collections (in the DVDR category mostly). However, I'm not a forum guy. I mostly just comment on the content of NZB posts or try to answer a few questions if I can. Not that the forum here at FST isn't any good, but quite frankly I just haven't ever really used it that much. I have nothing against it, I'm just not really a forum guy. Should I be doing more posts in the forum in order to adhere to these new rules?
Time for us all to start getting more involved I think.
