this would be a welcome GD development. upon registering your account, you get X number of posts. instead of displaying the number of posts poster X has made, it would display how many posts poster X has remaining before his or her "trial" period is over. once poster X has exhausted their trial amount, g2t, dkfan, and myself vote on whether to extend poster X more posts.

novel idea, but the judges would have to be rotated every week to keep it from becoming facist

You really should have at least 3600 posts yourself before even thinking about posting a thread such as this.

i like this idea. if i was a judge would this increase my chances of getting laid?

"no no baby...i dont just frequent a pearl jam message board and spend most of time posting about everything but pearl jam. i can see how you'd find that weird. funny. no. i'm actually a judge who decides whether someone else is toolish enough to make posts. get it? "

I like the word 'audaciousness.'

This idea of post allotments is interesting and cutting edge. I've never heard of it being done elsewhere, so let's forge new traditions. Tally ho!

i disagree, i believe that the real issue is that lysander cares too much
lysander is deeply complex, and an ocean of theoretical dalliances that are only rivalled by his/her wit and social ideologies

If you weren't voted back by one week's judges could the new judges coming in the next week vote you in instead?

judges cant be voted, they would only be nominated by the judge they replace
