Why regulate who can post a server advertisement based on a general reputation titled to someone based on other members' opinion? To stop all the "crappy server advertisements"? So what? They have just as much right to post one as anyone else; this is a mod open to all. Not to mention, people who open those types of servers are more than likely to find the massive amount of loop-holes around the system. If we regulate who posts their ads we should regulate what servers are able to be added to the master list in the first place (which makes no sense). Also, if that is in fact the reason, who is the one that deems which server is "shitty"? I know many people who actually enjoy playing on GodFather edits. "But those are the retards that ruin this mod". Those are also the "retards" that make up over 50% of this modifications community and keep it alive.

Just because someone isn't active on the forum it doesn't mean their server isn't any good. You know that, I know that and the SA-MP team knows that, and that is why that is absolutely NOT the reason that there are requirements to post in that section.

I'd say it's more an anti-abuse feature so that, for example, a person could not create lots of accounts to post the same ad multiple times. Of course the posts would be deleted and the user would be banned, but that would make even more work for the admins, and having these requirements eliminates that issue.
