I think this is a great idea. I just wish I new how many posts lol. I check every day to see if I can post here and I cannot. Lol. I got my 30 post trophy though :)
Freedom wants to see that you are willing to be an active part of the community. So until you "prove" that they wont make you a full member. that way there isn't as much spam and they know everyone posting there is taking it serious.
