If you just look around Newbies, it's a mess.
Well, if you put all new accounts into a subforum and force them to post, then you're obviously getting a mess. Maybe you're co-creating something that wouldn't exist otherwise. (See? In my right mind I wouldn't make such a pointless circular argument, but the
voices rules made me do it. Second post, heading north.)
No, it was a mess before the Newbie jail was enforced. Lots of spam etc
