Merely 180 days and 180 posts are insufficient; the posts must be contributory and participative, not just pro forms posts hastily made to gain access to a member restricted forum. TCC Moderators can restrict access to those who have not met the spirit of the terms and conditions, and post counts can be reset.
Coupon Connection is intended for members who are active participants and contributors to the broader FT forums. Access to Coupon Connection is not automatic with membership to FlyerTalk; it is a privilege that is granted for active participation and contribution to FlyerTalk.
7. What's the "post count" business? How does it relate to Coupon Connection?
A person's "post count" is just one index of his or her experience on and commitment to FlyerTalk. A high post count -- along with the other information you may find in reading their threads and responses to them! -- is one way to assess how trustworthy a person is in this venue. Where he or she has posted is also one index to their contributions to the FlyerTalk community. For example, if you see that a poster has 300 posts, but they are mostly in Coupon Connection, lounge threads, or Omni, then you may wonder how committed they are to the overall FlyerTalk community.
