The question of who should gain access to a secret area is always a difficult one. There are a few sites out there that answer the problem by saying 50 posts and you're in and you could say at least that shows some commitment on the part of the poster.
However personally I would favour a 50
quality posts + one
original review system. If it was obvious a poster was simply banging out short posts just to reach the magic 50, then it should be made clear their posts weren’t going to gain them access.
This system would at least assure that most posts were of a certain standard. No offence, but I would respectfully say a number of the posts I have seen since the new forum was opened are being made SOLELY to gain the individual access to the Secret sections of this forum and that is a shame.
