    So, should I feel...special?? first time posting here, I don't have any sim game on my origin account other than TS2 (the one given free), the CAS demo and my preorder of Sims 4 on Origin.<br />
    <br />
    And I'm ok with the rules, actually, newbies should not be able to post images or anything until they have time on the forums.

    I'm sure that this trial period won't last too long, especially if you continue to post regularly :)
    It's a shame that the nicer people have to suffer because some idiot decided to post some rather silly, to be frank, explicit images, but if this is a way to prevent this from happening in the future...

    Well it's actually a really smart way to stop that so I guess EA deserves props for once...

    I agree its a real shame a select few need to spoil it for the rest of us. But, hopefully EA are testing the bugs and teething problems. what better way to test the forums than before the big release I guess!

    Yup, that's exactly what happened with me. Actually, that is a good thing. I guess you don't have to suffer any troll attack on the forum in a near future.

    Is this all because of the guy that was posting pure filth for the last two days?

    Pretty sure it is. Though they might have been planning on limiting new members already, I think they definitely made it a priority.

    As you can see, I can't even quote well. I haven't tried to flag (why should I anyway?) but I can use the other buttons, like disagree, like and agree.

    That's what I was wondering.

    That and I'm assuming for events in the future. This forum isn't like the previous sims 3 forum where it was slightly guarded because you had to register your game in order to join the forums. In this forum ANYONE is allowed to have an account and post so I'm just glad that they finally are putting things under control again...
  • 06Bon0606Bon06 Posts: 11,614 Member
    @nekobear From what we have gathered, new members can not post pictures to prevent trolls.

    I've seen regular members as low as a 30 post count and over 15,000 (I think, maybe it was 14,000 something?), so I don't think there are ranks per se. Just anyone over a certain count is a regular member and can post pics. Though, perhaps you have to have a certain number of likes or agrees, as well?

    Can you try flagging my post? You don't have to go through with it or, if it works, leave it (you can unflag by clicking it again). I'm curious if trolls will be able to join just to go through and flag everyone.

  • mwdonohuemwdonohue Posts: 3,307 Member
    I better be able to post pics. I've been on the forums for some time. (sort of. It is a long story) and I hope I can. I will test it out.
