I have to agree with the others actually. I tend not to post all the time and won't be getting 150 messages anytime soon. (Then again I am a fairly new member.) But there will be people who would be or are great staff members that don't have that many.
I can agree with everything else though - someone who has been here less than a month is still "New" like myself. I have been here only a week or two and I still only just found the "mark all posts read" button on the top of the forum. xD
I know what it's like to be a moderator on a minecraft server despite not being one here... I knew fellow staff members well and I know that a post count hardly has anything to do with how good of a choice for staff they are. I can see your point, but from my experience, it's unnecessary.
Also, on top of all that, requiring a high message count just encourages people to spam posts everywhere just to get there anyway. At least 10 hours of gameplay or a month of being on the server doesn't look so much like spam... And in fact, is a good thing even if they are only playing the game so much to get the position. Anything you have to purposely try for like posting just doesn't work in my opinion. Maybe limit to 30 posts or more, but don't limit it more than that.
