I knew that... but if memory serves me right, the reasons both those forums have entry requirements has nothing to do with post counts & knowledge.

For cc, IIRC, it was to keep lurkers out as well as coupon brokers who only posted in cc

For Omni, it was an attempt to alleviate the second-handle-getting trolls who did so just to start fights and/or disrupt

As always, I welcome any correction to my failing memory
