We need to deal with the people who are joining FT to just post on the CONGA thread... not punish the remainder of the FT community. If we had a 100 post minimum, that would at least filter out MOST of those new members... they will not have the patience to get the 100 posts...

I also have a problem causing this a pyramid scheme. As I think of a pyramid scheme, you pay to be part of it... in this case, no money has to be invested to get the Ipod... and the promoters on freeipod had to know this. So, if freeipods stops their offer... then no one is out of any money (unless they chose to NOT cancel their offers in time).

I think the moderators are doing a good job of trying to keep up... and members are also trying to self-moderate the thread... and should be commended.
