    At what point do you get taken seriously around here?

    is it like after a certain amount of posts, or date reg?

    what's the threshold. i don't think i am there yet. It's all good though...i'm still kinda new here.

    When Tradewind says you're in.
    'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
    And there they lay I damn me eyes
    All lookouts clapped on Paradise
    All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    There are people I take seriously on some topics and not on others. Skroe seems to have lots of actual knowledge about the rocketry industry, but some of his geopolitical ramblings are way too hawkish and/or jingoistic for me to take seriously (and he hates being called a jingo).

    Oh absolutely.

    Just remember the 3 golden rules to a good post

    1. Make jokes or puns in your post
    2. Make it under a sentence long
    3. Don't get infracted by mods and end up getting banned
