I for one have been reading this site for about 2 months and have only posted when I felt I really had something to add not just posting to get my count up. By being this way I have only racked up around 20 posts. I like the nomination/voting idea and think it should be limited to just that.
zENGER, the main reasoning behind the minimum qualifications is for the core or starting members of the forum. The other reason being that untill someone builds a reputation on this site, there is not any way to judge the persons quality per say.

As mentioned earlier, I feel that there a a couple of relatively new people that have shown that they are quite knowledgeable about security and computers, more than I will probably ever be, and have shown that in the quality and type of posts they have made. I think that they should be included into this group, but the core membership will have to devise a methode for their inclusion.

At this point we are just throwing ideas out to see what the admins think and also what the general membership thinks. What the finial out come will be depends on Jupiter Media and what they eventually decide to do.
