Dear Sir.
With all respect to your person and your site. I don't know what do you want. Serveral weeks ago I read an articel on your site (guess you wrote it yourself) about quality not quanitiy on TheManaDrain. I own my account now for exactly one week, and I'm very happy to have the possibility to post on this site. But - as I said in my application form, I'm not the crasy poster like some others. The main reasons for this are:
I can read
I can use the internet (including your site)
I want to produce quality as you asked for.
So sometimes I don't feel I could/should post something because it is all said or I have no question. Believe it or not, to have full access to your site means something to me. I was reading the site for some months before I decided to ask for an account, knowing it is an privilege to have an account here.
Now you 'flame' me (and maybe other new users) for not posting. Heck - I don't know what to do.
Quality or quanitiy?
If you think it is correct to eject my account, feel free to do it. I would regret it but it's your site.

Sandman

PS: Maybe this belongs to the community and rumors forum, but I felt this one would fit it better.

You have to understand him, usually on forums like this there are like 5 accounts that arenīt used for each active one. He makes great efforts in running this site and the application forms, which are there to improve the quality of users, take up additional time.
I can also understand you, I post rarely myself in the Type I Mill although being an Vintage Adept, just because, as you said, I can read and - having no real Type I tourneys in my area - I am hesitant to post something without real backup.
What Zherbus want to avoid is people signing up just for the heck of it. It may sound stupid to you but it would be nice of you if you posted here and there something. Maybe in Casual or Community, just to show you are here and active.
See, there are jerks who sign up and almost never post, yet they filled out the form and wasted Zherbus' time. Deleting accounts that arenīt used in 2 weeks seems harsh, but how should he handle this else? I guess heīd rather hit some innocent people during this process than supporting non-contributing members. This should be understandable.

First, noone should take this personally. If anyone should take anything personally, it should be the guy who sits down for hours trying to make this site as high quality as it is.

Second, if someone has the same feelings about wanting the access but just hasnt had anything they feel worthy to post, then by all means speak up. I'm not friggin Hitler, despite what others may say. I understand.

Lastly, I'm sure you are the exception. I appreciate your thoughts on the quality versus quantity arguement. However, this wasnt targeted at 1 person, 10 people, or even just the 18 people that hadnt posted. it was target at the 60% of the accounts I have made that were for no reason.

Oh yeah, Moved to Community.
