SB 28-23: Increasing Requirements Act (Passed)

[Sestak]

I am in favor of the posting requirement, but opposed to the time requirement in general. 40 posts is enough to demonstrate a genuine interest in the forum itself, and the long time requirement only serves as a hard barrier that keeps even potentially active players out of the game if they are too new to the site.
