We need to have some kind of restrictions on which people are able to post in such forums, otherwise there would be no point in at all, which I think there is. Our debates have been spoiled by immature members for long enough - I'm sure if this kind of topic ever came about, we could ask members which would be the most appropriate. 100 posts, 500 posts, 1000 posts to gain access, having to PM a moderator, or simply being here for a long period of time, whether it be 10 days or 30. These are all specifics that need to be voted on and are not yet to be set in stone.

That's where I stopped reading.
Proper moderation and ban threats (that are actually followed through with promptly) if the rules are broken solve these problems, and allows anyone to participate without it turning into an elitest "smart people" forum.
Having a higher post count has NOTHING to do with post quality. A member who has 1200 posts is not a guarantee for being any smarter or mature than someone with 50.
