Agreed in general, but I do think the Introductions forum should still be open to new users.

Whilst I do tend to take post-count to length of time on the forum into consideration when arranging a meet - you do also have to factor in that, like myself, they may have had a higher post count at one point but a lot could have been wiped out in the purge a few months ago, or any previous purges. This surely cant however compensate for 4+ years and <10 posts? Surely people have opinions and thoughts that they can voice to bring this to a more balanced amount whilst still posting something of value and not spamming "hot" everywhere?
It would be nice to have an "alternative" way of members being verified as genuine to just their post count and quality of posts/time here.

Given the nature of this site, I don't really see how such a thing could possibly be implemented in a realistic way. Even the type of minimal verification done by dating apps would be a massive security issue here. And I doubt the owners here really want this to turn into some sort of zoo-tinder in the first place.
That is how it should be; people taking time to actually interact with the community.

Does this mean I will lose my privilege to send a PM to someone if I haven't posted 150 so far?

This was your 10th post, so you didn't have permissions prior to this post to lose undrr the old 10 requirement in the first place.

Hm.
There shouldn't be a DM. And the forum has already been restarted, so the ranks have been updated. I don't understand.This Xenforo is shit. And they have to pay for it.
Accounts made before July 13th 2021 were exempt from the original 10 post PM restrictions, I don't know if the new restrictions apply to the older accounts or not

I like this change. A friend of mine on the forum got stalked by a anti-zoo activist that found them on here and outed them. It really blew up their life. These measures don't make that impossible to happen, but makes it less likely/easy to do. I'm glad to see the zv admin making moves to protect its users. Thanks guys

No, go back just a bit, Floofie responded to me and explained the mechanics of how the 2 changes were made and why the original batch are exempt from the changes.Accounts made before July 13th 2021 were exempt from the original 10 post PM restrictions, I don't know if the new restrictions apply to the older accounts or not
