I have to say that I think it is silly to require a certain number of posts. Let's say you had to have a minimum of 25 posts, what is stopping the person from just posting random things in the other parts of the forum, just to get to that minimum? I do not have many posts, but I have been reading this forum for about 1 1/2 years. It is a great source of information. Everyone also has to remember that there are 3 sides to every story: your side, my side, and the truth. I personally do not decide not to go to a restaurant because one person said they were sick after eating there. These restaurants serve hundreds and thousands of people, one person claiming they were sick from eating there, or one person stating that they had really bad service, will not stop me from going to a restaurant. By having a minimum number of posts to make a post in a certain section, new people may not want to come on this forum. Also, someone could have just come back from vacation and wants to post a nice review about a restaurant, but can't because they have under the minimum number of posts. That is unfair to the restaurant.
