Really, the only reason I see the need for a restriction for Regular ranks is so that if someone wants to broadcast something to majority of the forums, they can do so without including people who just started/possible trolls
A regular forum makes more sense to me then the Senior members forum.
250 posts isn't that hard. :p Just seems odd there is a VIP board and not REG board. ( I imagine there is Admin one was well. :p )
1 talk things about people who you don't want them to know and make fun of people who haven't reached the rank yet
2 to have forum sex if not too much people reached the rank
3 spam
I've yet to see any forum sex! ;_;
Elitism and gossip.
Also to reply to Memos point 1, no point of gossiping if they will eventually reach that rank and see what things are being said. lol
