Also, I don't remember seeing that sort of attack (on a considerable scale) for.. maybe since a year ago?
I don't think you stop much more of that attack by also restricting Jr Member, Members, or Full members. And for the few ones that could happen, banning would do wonders.
Any restriction over "newbie" account seems overkill and unjustified to me. Maybe I am wrong.
It's clear Marcus argument is not the reason theymos locked the thread!
I assume I was not around when that happened, is it enough reason to accuse me of being as evil as Jihan Wu himself?
Does the fact of someone's account being 6 months old say that they're this forum's enemies?
Should they not be allowed to participate in important threads?
Anyway I've been advocating to YES, PLEASE, PREVENT FORUM ATTACKS FROM NEWBIES. But stop here. A Jr Member can contribute and aggregate as I did myself and every Legendary was once a Jr Member.
