Policy Question 

Why is there a prestige amount to post in the Counter Strike section?

Every other gaming section I can post in, but when I try to post in the Counter Strike section, it says I need 25 prestige. Was this accidentally placed there, or is there a reason behind it?
The reasoning behind it is because there were simply too many multi-accounters and trolls in the section.
This limitation has made it considerably harder for people to do it.
There is a reason behind that I can't say because I don't use that section much someone experienced with that section will explain the reason behind it.

Don't mean to sound like a dick, but why did you bother posting?

What kind of trolling occurs in a discussion about Counter Strike? lol. That's a pretty weird place for trolls to stop and mess around in I would think.

This, Omni made this happen in October I think. Its just to keep the spamming to a minimum.

I don't get your point? You posted to inform me that someone who knows the answer will tell me why... which wasn't necessary to post... what does the help documents have to do with your post?

We recommend you take the time to read the HF Help Documents section. The answer to your questions should be contained in there.

Seriously, read the Help Docs.

Back on topic, Omni makes this kind of limitations to reduce spam & trolling. For 25 prestige, you'll have to work your ass unless you buy l33t or donate for an award.

It was a blast being on staff. I stepped down as it's time for me to move on. I wish you all the best and if you were hit by my warnings and/or bans, it was nothing personal.

Peace out!
people in the counter strike hack "scene" (i struggle to even call it a scene) are extremely immature. there were waaay too many multiaccounts, accounts made only for trolling, etc. while i admit it was somewhat entertaining, the section is a lot better with it. albeit a bit quieter.
a lot of trolling was going on, now if you troll there you get closed as it says in the rules of that section.
Nowadays? I'm just here for the nostalgia.

Almost seems like Omni takes his CSGO seriously. 🤝 But as mentioned most places where serious topics are supposed to be the norm, people shitpost their brains out, and troll topics that could have bad effects. Such as the Politics, Philosophy, and Religion section which now requires 25 prestige for non-upgraded members.
There are other subforums with 25 prestige limit for l33t?

You trying to bump your post count too? :)
Omniscient added that to prevent trolling

That's because all those trollers and spammers that have been there for a long time.
Really smart move.
