I think having the RA be minimum 20 is to weed out spammers, lurkers, and casuals. There are so many "open" boards that I like that this one has a much higher barrier to entry. It results in less noise, and curates a community of hobbyists/mongers that can more freely share intel and photos.
If you go to PrivateDelights, they have a message board as well that's completely open and transparrent, and it's become an echo chamber of SIMPs who are afraid to post true reviews and opinions out of fear of being blacklisted by girls.
A forum like this you have to earn your access, and I think it works out for the better. If you post valuable reports, photos, and engage in the conversation on other threads, you will build up your RA faster than you think.
Hell, I'm RA30 and I have had my account for less than a week... | |
