Not a huge deal to make 10 posts honestly. Someone easily could reply to current threads, but some people might take more interest in older threads. The fact that some people are necroing old threads is just an unintended consequence of the system.

Hey guys. Thanks for the feedback! The reason for this rule is two-fold: 1) To prevent spam bots from being able to spam a bunch of new threads immediately (this is the main one), and 2) So that new members are encouraged to participate and learn the forums before making their own thread. Of course, as you've all mentioned, some people try to fast track this by just spamming or necro-ing, so I'll look into the # of these required to prevent this. If you DO see them, please report them to me because they aren't constructive. There are plenty of opportunities to make real posts, no need to be lazy and just spam so you can make a thread. <3
