that rule would really limit people in certain ways. Why can't a user join up and show us a game right away. Why must he make 7 posts before he can post the link. If anything it will encourage more spamming as bots/members will just keep posting till they can post links.

I see where you are coming from, but it is a double edged sword. This will most likely not be implemented.

Ill try to defend live's suggestion here.

New users are pretty much going to sign up to just promote their own made games. Which isn't a bad thing but shoudl really be put in the "shameless promotion" section. I say that, that section could be open to any post count.

When it comes to Free MMORPG and any other section other than that. All I really see from 1 posters are "Come check out this game I made" and/or "Free GOLD!!" threads.

When it comes to having more spam due to this rule. Well I say. Spammers for "free gold" already spam in other threads. So preventing them from making the threads is still helping.
If the user is legitimately trying to introduce a new game to us. That will give him reason to support this site and become a productive member.

I just think if the user is gonna introduce a new game, the person would be mature enough to make some decent posts instead. Seeing how hes being mature enough to introduce a new game to us.
