I talked with finsfan but figured there's no need to relay I message I can say myself. The 90 day and 100 post requirement is there for a number of reasons. One, as mentioned, is to protect our members from bad traders and thieves. Its not elaborate security but it helps weed out a lot of riffraff. Another is that the MAW is intended to be a bonus for those who are active in other areas of the forum. So people learn, contribute, and build the wealth of knowledge we have here as opposed to just using HBT as a trading platform. Lastly I feel its important we've all been held to the same standard. No exceptions have or will be made for anyone and that's a big part of it. We all have to earn our stripes the same way so there's no hard feelings for anyone.
Stay warm guys and lets keep the eMAW rolling!
