Hello,
Another suggestion from me that could work and we would see less newbie members with their first post applying for admin. Same as when you post your first posts only by moderator's approval, the same should be added for making admin applies. Correctly saying, when a newbie makes first post for admin, it gets denied straight away with a description on screen saying something like this:
"Aquire/Make more posts before posting an admin apply"
We all know that these kiddos are power hungry and they dont care about the rest of the forum as long as they get what they want. If not, then they just move on to other forum, thats how i see it.
There should be a restriction for admin applies atleast until 50 posts, otherwise this just messed up.
Also for admins and well known members: "STOP telling them to make an admin apply", better explain them how the system works. I usually get asked "how to become admin in Ambrosia?" before giving a link i always explain the basics.
What do you think about the restriction idea?
