Having a higher post count has NOTHING to do with post quality. A member who has 1200 posts is not guarantee for being any smarter or mature than someone with 50.

I know... it's just hard to decide these things. You are probably right. I've just noticed a correlation between users with a lot of posts/being here a long length of time and the quality of their posts, so I decided to throw it out there. But you are right about moderation though, it would be the best way to solve the problem.
Like I said, the other from I frequent allows you to post from the get-go, but is heavily moderated. I couldn't decide whether this was from the maturity of the general user base anyway, and combined with the modding. If you did read the rest of my posts, I said it would be better if people voted on things so we could come to an argreement on what would be the best way to go about looking after a Serious Discussion thread.
