    Just out of curiosity, why do you need a minimum of 5 posts before you can play an arcade game?

    to avoid people making fake accounts to play gamess or to flood the highscores

    Sneaky sneaky. Its smart but won't the fake account already have been made. So isn't that sort of pointless?

    Well you can't avoid people making fake accounts just to play games because anybody can BS posts and then play games the rest of the time. Maybe you should raise it to 15. I think that would cause less of a problem if there ever is somebody trying to do that.

    Well, who would waste their time trying to flood highscores?, its not like there's a huge achievement when you get a highscore, and as @Kari said, 5 posts aren't many. If they wanted to flood the highscores I think chances are it would've happened already. Unless it has..... then that would be awkward.

    There are always stupid people in the world that would do it anyway, even if it is a waste of time. Don't underestimate people.

    @Kari, Well, I do suppose so, but still, if they're that bored, I highly doubt a 5 post min would stop them.

    That was my entire point... If the five post minimum was changed to something higher, that could prevent more people that would do that type of thing. Our conversation just went in a circle.

    Well, I don't think there's been history of people flooding the highscores, so why fix what ain't broke?
