Hey Guys, members with sump access was manually done. Unfortunately it got very tedious. Before, members gained access by having 1k post or being a supporter. This meant members who did not want to see threads, had access too it, and were turned off by it.

Any ideas on how I should improve the system?

I'd say automate it to SCR supporters if that's possible. Members willing to invest into SCR prob will stick around and contribute. Also probably are the ones to mess around with fellow supporters. youngsters, lurkers, and newbs probably won't invest into the forum financially so won't be aware of "The Sump". just my .02 cents

Or have a mod offer access on the forum to the 1k post members/supporters once a month (say like every first friday). But qualified members have to request it on the thread to be added. This can keep it manual but not make it a headache to constantly follow up with member stats.

Only offer sump access to paying supporters. I would make the minimum 100 posts. No need to wait so long to have a little fun.

I don't think it should be automatic for supporters. People who complained about the disgusting threads were also supporters. People might not become supporters to avoid those threads.

I think we saw what happened when the minimum was 1000 posts, everyone started posting "nice tank" and "wish you were closer" like crazy.

Mike, I would be willing to help with the Manual access as well if you'd like.

Orale, the gatekeeper! You really want that drama bro? Having to explain to someone that bumping FS threads for 400 posts doesn't count? Props to all of you that do work, good work, for the site.

as long as I don't have to tell people they've gone too far I'm happy lol.

But I think it should be for anyone that wants access or doesn't want it. This way they don't post hundreds of useless junk.

Do a monthly drive. If you want it, everyone who posts on the 1st of the month will be added. Don't ask on the 2nd, you need to wait until next month. If you're sensitive, don't ask for access.
