I agree with emac... It's not right that an active member that's been around a while isn't allowed access to an area that someone else who's been around a couple months can go to just because they post a bunch of nonsense.
I think it should be a combination of how long you've been a member & a fair amount of posts. But most importantly, there should be an age requirement... 18+! I know I wouldn't want any of my kids (in a few years of course) getting on here, posting 1000 posts in a couple months, & then stumbling upon the things I've seen in the sump!
So lets recap...
Time as member (8 mos?)
# of posts (300 sounds good to me)
And 18 years & over
