Have I been naughty?

Did not know TBN had a front porch. Is there a rocking chair or porch swing?

I could argue the logic behind that line of thought, but I gain far more from TBN than I'm qualified to offer on most subjects. So, I'm more than happy to play by the rules.

It's just my guess. Muhammad is the only moderator I believe. Moderators sometimes have strong personal opinions about the threads they are monitoring. Hard to wear two hats.

Also, once in a while a stranger shows up with no intention other than to incite controversy and be a general smarty pants. 500 posts puts an end to that.

I wondered what the front porch was all about. Thanks Dave for filling in the blanks.

How many posts does it take before I'm no longer called a "New Member"?

Just more incentive to talk a lot even if you have nothing to say.

No doubt. And I can appreciate that.

Also true. I can think of other reasons it might be beneficial to the site to boost posts, but I ain't about to bite the hand that feeds...

I didn't know there was a front porch either. I guess I'd better start posting more instead of just lurking.

Even those of us with 1000s of posts can be out of line at times. I'll have to peak in there, had no idea the front porch existed.
