Changes to entry requirements for Regional forums and splits

[El Presidente]

We need to amend the access requirements to regional forums as well as bumping up the requirements for those initiating "splits" within those forums.

The amendments are minor but felt to be important in order to achieve a balanced level of access and security for FOH members.

So from the 1st of July 2015

Entry to Regional Subforums will require a minimum 3 month membership of FOH and 30 posts.

Initiating a Split on any subforum will require a minimum 4 month membership of FOH and 70 posts.

As always, we strive to achieve a balance and hopefully most of the time we get it right.

Cheers

Sounds more than fair to me! Thanks for always looking out for us Prez.

Sounds good.

What are the current limits for trading room requirements?

And it may sound goofy, but would putting in limits prior to being able to send PM's, would that be feasible at all?

[terrantheman]

Sounds painless enough!

Will we have to contact you post-July 1st for a new password?

No.

I will be able to amend the back-end requirements so those not meeting them will be blocked from access. Painless for all

If you want to be a member of the Aussie sub-forum, you can... if you want to pay our overly-taxed prices!

I did when I was in BrisVegas a couple of weeks ago hahaha.

Maybe we can have a list of Regional subfora?

Might start a European subforum?

[Fuzz AI]

There already is an EU sub-forum. The list is on the main forum page: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?app=forums

Somehow joining the forum through Tapatalk doesn't seem to be included in the calculation.

Do you have the password to the regional sub-forum you are trying to access?

And you are 1 month shy of the 3 month minimum for access.

[Philc2001]

I guess I don't.

That's why I asked about following on Tapatalk. I've been using Tap for several months, just following the forum without posting anything. It looks like when I finally posted something it became my join date. Weird.

[Fuzz AI]

Tapatalk seems to have a lot of weird problems.
