Allow people to post in Exploits with 0 posts

There's an annoying limit on posting in the Exploits forum that requires you to make 5 posts. Can it be removed?

make 5 posts and then post... See, nobody has to help you.

Seeing from this thread you kinda do.

The exploit forum is probably the highest traffic forum on the board, allowing 0-post nobodies to post there is just asking for spambots and linkreferers to spam the crap out of it.

At least the 5 post requirement means the spambots have to pretend to post in other sections, and they can usually be identified from them.

Not seeing whats the use of the 5 post limit.

Most newly registered users lurk the forums.

Change to 5 post to view posts sounds better IMO.

Things not to suggest:

1. Changing forum titles. (See the explanation of Google below)
2. New member groups, or titles.
3. New staff members, or suggesting existing staff members be removed.
4. Removing members from the database. (See the explanation of Google below)
5. Removing posts from the database. (See the explanation of Google below)
6. New forums for unknown MMO titles, or non MMO games.
7. Forums for topics not relating to exploits, hacks, bots, or guides, related to GAMING ONLY.
8. Changing rep requirements, or post requirements for certain sections, without a very good, and valid reason.
9. New chat features (Java based, more AJAX based, etc chat systems)
10. Useless plug-ins or 'products' (as vB puts them) that are mainly based for smaller forums.
11. More as I think of them, or see them.

Read the stickies before posting in this section.

when new users come here they need to see what the site offers before they register so no post requirement to view posts..
