I don't altogether disagree with having some guardrails around new members.
sometimes they don't know what they don't know and can't formulate a question with enough solid information (or pics) to help us even take a wild guess at what might be wrong.
EX: "I just got this bike off CL, it doesn't shift too good, and the back tire is flat. It says Suntour."
It could be argued however that the 10 post threshold for posting pics could just contribute to, as opposed to attenuate, nuisance posts.
In today's world, anybody who can't put a pic into google, flickr or even the hated Photobucket - probably needs more help than we can give here
just sayin
