No, no, no.

This will just make it harder for real posters.

Why is 25 days too long?

I registered my first day.

I registered my like 75th day. Tongue

And barely has enough post to register at the time, If I remember correctly. A very innactive 75 days if you asked me.

I prefer to read than post, to be honest. My post count is mostly from Atlasia and the Forum Community. I rarely venture outside into the open Tongue

Oh for Christ sake, this again?

I don't want to interfer with Senate buisness, but you know I stated last time this was a major issue, that the 15 day requirment would do absolutly nothing to stop zombies. And look, history proved me right, as we now have more zombies than ever.

I think those people here that are reqruiting zombies, will find it very easy to tell the people they're drafting to just simply sign up ten days earlier.

This will result in nothing, but punishing those new forumees that actually want to take an active part in Atlasia. It's not the amount of time a person has been on the forum before they register here that determins if they will be a good poster or not. I believe I had only joined the forum seven days prior to me registring, and I think most people can agree that I'm not a zombie. Had I been forced to wait another twenty days before I could officially be part of the game, my carer and involvment here would have turned out much different. 

What we need is real zombie reform. Not some "I-could-care-less" amendment from time to time, that will at best stop some new zombies at the expense of other posters rights, but will do nothing to reduce the already huge hordes of zombies in Atlasia.   

No offense, but most of the "zombies" have been here longer than we have, they just have low post counts.

Exactly my point Hamilton, I'm glad you caught it. Someone can have been on the forum for ages and still be an obvious zombie, while guys like you and me have been here for a shorter time while not being zombies.

Therefore I find this amendment to be pointless, or conter productive at worst. 

Which is something I've also argued. The main zombies are people like BRTD and RosettaStoned. Compare participation in the JCP convention to the PC convention and you will see which party has the zombies and who they are.
