thank you for this - that way at least we can keep our spam to this section instead of all over the newbie jail.
i think the newbiejail is pretty counter-intuitive as it promotes spamming the newbie section of the forum just so you can post in the real forum.
It should promote intelligent and useful discussion in the Newbie Forum along with time for Newbies to learn a bit about Bitcoin and the Forum.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of Newbies who have the patience of a 4 year old, and feel that spam is a much more useful way to get 5 posts.
