When I joined here, I noticed that I had a message. I tried to check my inbox, but it was disabled. I learned after sending an error report that the PM system is disabled until the member gets three posts. I was a bit annoyed at that, because I have never come across such a thing and I wasn't warned of it at all, but I continued on to get my three posts so I could check that pesky message.

I did so, and I saw the welcome bot's PM. The title of it annoyed me even more. "Welcome Mo! Please read before posting." Are you kidding me? What kind of trippy contradiction is that? I was just told that I had to post before I could see the message, and now the message is telling me that I shouldn't have posted before I read the PM. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dots.gif) Maybe I'm just used to forums that know how to take care of themselves after a couple years of being up, maybe I'm overreacting, but really, this is ridiculous. How am I to be expected to follow the rules if you make it impossible for me?

This post is not meant for me to rant about the issues I've seen with this site, so please look through my annoyance and short patience to see the real problem at hand. I hope you get the blindingly obvious mistake fixed. I also suggest shortening the reply time. 180 seconds between replies had me rolling my eyes and wondering how you expect to keep activity up. (Flooding can only happen when people are willing to put up with the site enough to make so many posts.)

You probably won't see me here anymore, but I wish you the best of luck in managing your site and I hope you don't see this as a flame or attack on all your hard work. I'm just angry in general right now and I'm probably taking it out on you more than your poor souls deserve.

Merry part and blessed be.

-Mo
