New Members who dont ever post.

[Amos Hames 2]

I know it shouldn't annoy me but why do people join and never post. Shouldn't we introduce a time limit window where a new member has to post in a certain time or get account frozen for a couple of days . Just a thought. Anyone else got any ideas. I know it sounds harsh but I was just pndering the passing moment as Cleggy would say

Do nothing, I say.

There will members out there unable to post due to personal circumstances or whatever, or simply like to read our posts.

Indeed. It`s usual to get lots of lurkers compared to active posters on Internet forums.

I agree there's nothing wrong with just been a passive observer but you don't need to be a member to do that?

OK fair enough just seems strange not posting and join in the fun

There are things you can only see when logged in, like full size pictures and attachments, so some people will become members just so they can see all the content.

Members shouldn't be made to join in or post. Theres lots of reasons people don't post, anyone is welcome to join and just observe with no pressure to participate.

No but you need to be a member to post or see the shout box.

For a while after I joined, I merely lurked, mainly out of an excess of caution. I needed time to determine what sort of company I was in.

I agree, I'm the head Administrator of a large communications forum and I have found, the more tick tacky you get about things, the more members you lose..
