Restricting New Users


Recommended Posts

What happens is that when you register' date=' you are restricted only to the introductions thread, where once you post an introduction and it is approved by a moderator, you are then free to use the site to its full potential in all threads that normal users are allowed on.

good idea for new forums

 

bad idea for a site with thousands of newbs joining every day

 

and they all lived happily ever after, the end

If I was a new member and this happened to me, I'd be pissed.

If I was a mod and my job was to approve n00bs, I'd be pissed.

Tefached, I know what you mean. It might be a little better for some advanced members with like 5 stars, but that will make many new members think "YC Making is boring, and I can't even post." It's probably better to have more people have fun on this awesome site, eh?

I don't mean offence, but it's not a really food idea. I won't support.

They definitely should restrict new users. I am growing tired of the new members I have seen who are SPAMming the forum. First introductions and rules. I also suggest we restrict their access to the card forums to read-only until they made a certain amount of posts. This New Member Spam threat is going out of hand.

Maybe if this site weren't as big as it is it could work but as it stands there seems to be no way to work with out.

 

As much as I hate people who have no idea what they're doing, I can't support something that would take way too much effort on the mods (unless they agree to it).

I for one, never used Introductions until about 300posts. When I realized it was there. But I was far from a newb/n00b. I just never came to the rest of the forum, and restricted myself to CC.

 

So basically, you're asking them to be redirected to the one part of a forum, most if not all newbies have no care for? Makes perfect sense, and will always work. [/sarcasm]

 

Bad idea, is bad.
