First The Old Reds Guard and now this. Interesting forum you are running here.

Length of membership and number of posts have nothing to do with being civil to one another. Doesn't seem to me it encourages participation.

But those are the rules.

That's not why the rule is in place. For better or worse, since this site is different than most other sports forums, the purpose is so that new members gain a sufficient feel for how this site works before earning that ability.

Something that rule does do very well is encourage the use of the "Search" feature of the board, to find an existing thread that fits the contribution you might want to make.
