Admins may ban new members like june07231212. Without further consideration...

I did not even know that there was a discount for WW members. How does this actually work ?

Exactly.

25 worthless posts in less than an hour after joining.
This "solution" only makes things worse.

Yes, it was better when they only made 10 worthless posts. Clogged up my timeline less!

I've been a member since a few years back. I seldom write or even login, but I visit the forum at least once a day. And there will probably come a time when I would like to benefit from the discount in question.... I will then be required to force myself to write BS things like "Nice bike!" (which is kind of obvious as 95% of all bikes here are killer bikes), as there is no other way currently. Is it good or fair - No! But I've been a member since way back.

This thread is bonkers. The only concern should be that no one gets ripped off if they are buying something in the "for sale" section.
That boils down to common sense as well.
If your a WW member and get a discount at Star bikes for the amount of posts, its just stupid and the previous post by sam confirms that. It a 5% discount which is greatly appreciated but its not worth getting your anoraks in a twist about.
If posters want to join and get the benefit of a discount then why not, its business for starbike and we need shops like starbike.
So all good as far as I am concerned and I bet most of you getting in a twist have not bought anything from starbike.
I have and the service is great.

I agree. And by that logic they should just give the 5% to anyone who can log in rather than setting up the post count criteria.

I just want to record some appreciation to the moderators who has been really active in "cleansing" out the "fake members" (for lack of a better words).

Your efforts would not go unnoticed!

Thanks!

How about putting new members on probation and limiting them to max. two posts a day until they reach 25 posts and 30 days?
