Yes, and they suck for it. Many have a low post count requirement (like 25 posts) If you set any kinda of post count limitations, people will just spam the board with worthless posts to unlock privileges. cost/benefit analysis of this idea is overall detrimental to board quality IMO.

I've seen this on other boards.

Requiring a user to have 10 posts in the Help Board would at least force them to see the Help Board and might keep some of the dumb questions over here. That would ruin the best board on this site. They should make a noob board

Basically, just a board to say hi. It's serves a purpose but is still kind of a waste of space. Now if the admins moved shitty threads to a wasteland of a board like this, that could be funny.

I've seen this on other boards. Why on earth would you need to have 10 posts on the help board? That would do nothing but clutter the frick out of the help board with useless posts.
