Okay, so this is really annoying...I have to change my password every 30 days and when it comes time, I can not use a password I've used in the past 300 days...I know it is good practice I guess, but I'm not part of the staff here of anything and if anybody somehow gained access to this account, they wouldn't be able to do much..

I don't think I've ever had to change my password.

If you don't have to, I don't know why we have to. :/

Is there a reason for this?

Oh and kind of off topic.. I read somewhere that the req's for junior members is 100 posts and 3 months of being registered.. has this changed?

I've changed my password quite a lot. I dunno if restrictions have been changed but I thought it was every ~120 days or something? It's not that bad really.

There was a thread posted by another junior member about this and only junior members agreed, whereas everyone else had no clue what they were talking about. I think it's just a mistake.

This is actually annoying me as well. I have gone through all of my throw-away passwords plus some others. Now I'm down to simply putting in forgot password and using whatever they send me (leaving remember me? on and having autofill), so that if I forget it I have an email with the password in my inbox :)
I'm fine with the password change every 30 days, just make it you can use a pass you've had in the last 60 or 90.

It is 30 days, at least for Junior Members.

You can't really complain about this rule given that it was you that caused it to be put in place... I swear you can just use a previous password quite easily, just change between two different passwords. Although I seem to remember changing my password to exactly the same as the one I was currently using, and it allowed me to do so.

300 posts 6 months, same as Black Market access.

No, because it can not be a password I have used in the past 300 days...
