Help Why is Content hidden for new members?

[ogggbee]

To hide content from new members discourages them from actually participating on this forum. Why would someone wait 30 days to actually see a video or pictures?

I get it that members who contribute more should have special features in cosmetics, but building a wall makes zero sense.

That's exactly what I mean bro. Why would a forum (which is always built on reciprocity and dialogue - that's how organic forums work) build in a gatekeeping mechanism?

some are hit and runners and steal content. so i guess people who are established members and those who do visit frequently have the privilege to view more content.

That sounds like an asymmetry in content access that shouldn't really exist in organic forums. It's not like the majority of the content here is exclusive either. Most of the time, it's just videos from Bunkr.
