I don't think that was fair, if that were a rule, he would have to go and spam some boards to get his post count up to be eligible. And then he would be called out for that.

Dont you think that is understandable?
Genghiz Cohen wrote: » I understand it, I just don't agree with it. That's fine for you to apply those rules to your own codes, but why should everyone else think the same? Why is contribution to the community needed? Some people just like to lurk. If you are going to start demanding contribution, is there a standard of content contributed? E.G. Should someone who has posted "Frosted Butts" in The Cuckoo's Nest 7000 times be preferred to someone who has given 1 piece of helpful advice?

This is only the number of times people asked for a game, NOT the number of games received. I think this shows that generally the thread is working well as is, and "nobody" is really taking the piss. And I'm sure that one person is going to be busy playing games for a week or two, so we'll probably all catch up with him soon
