Restrict Newbie from Posting until they contribute

Target:
Care2 Rules and Regulation
Sponsored by: 

Currently anyone can create a bogus account and begin posting comments to the polls and news items immediately.

We, loyal Care2 members, would like to see the rules changed so that at least 20 butterflies or 10 petitions need to be signed before someone qualifies to post comments. Answering the polls can be for everyone but posting comments should only be for those who contribute to the site.

This would stop people from creating bogus accounts just to post comments.

If folks are really interested in helping our planet, they will gladly sign petitions, etc. The 'Care 2' site should not be exploited for the benefit of greedy spammers. Agree 100% with this petition. Let's keep 'Care 2' exclusively for the people who care!!

If you have nothing sensibel to say/write or at least thought true what you're about to say or write, it's better to say/write nothing at all. If you're borred, plz go get borred some place else

Totally agreed, especially reading the comments from the news article advertisting this... *laughs* ... however, if this is true then it should be made slightly easier to earn butterflies. I earn my butterflies by doing all 10 Click 2 Donates, and I'm still not on twenty. Spammers will be immediately put off by this; no website is worth the hassle with such a rigorous initiation. ^_^

I agree with the Point being made here and would Also Like To See the Rule extend to Completely Filling out ones Profile; Yes People will Lie; but it will reduce Spammers and Lazy Provacateurs From Gaining access To Groups and Other Peoples Profiles; untill they follow up and Share Something Real or Not; about thier persona and Motives. There are Too many Antagonistic Right Wing & Religous Nuts Posting over and over in the Comments both news and Polls...

I also agree.. I have seen in a few comments that they were mean & not warranted..tho getting 20 butterflies aren't that hard to do really.. just click away at the worthy cause..now petiones aren't either.. tho I sometimnes get carried away.. sometimes I rather do petitons then comment or go to my message box.. sorry if I get someone on my freind lists late.. just so busy at times doing what I feel is more important.. PETITIONS.. & thanks again for having me on Care2.. & the GREAT People that want to be my freinds on here.. YOUR ALL GREAT!!!

I've not seen the spammers or trolls in the areas I've read, but I know they are there. Only problem is, I'm new and this would cut me off from posting (and maybe writing to those I've met already?). I see the need though, so I'll sign for the betterment of the site.

spammers and 'trolls' have become a huge problem, a problem we shouldn't have to face, as we are not here to fight or play childish games. we are doing our best, each in our own way, to make changes to stop torture, abuse and suffering around this world.

I usually don't complain too much if someone new has something to contribute, but lately there have been nothing but trolls coming in and posting worthless garbage just to annoy the full time members. I agree with the purpose of this peitition.
