limit people to this newbie section for 48 hours

effectively banning people that have been here for a while from even posting things that they were discussing 5 hours ago sucks

This. I am no stranger to message boards but fairly new to Bitcoin (three weeks or so). I have relied heavily on the message board for information and discussion during that time. I know not to jump right away on a board with noob questions and simple posts. I lurked until I needed the help of the board and only have a few posts. I'm not going to intentionally post garbage in this sub-forum just to have the ability to interact with the Bitcoin community. It's a waste of time and actually promotes trolling, imo. I will probably move on or merely lurk forever. I stand firm in my commitment to never reach 50 posts on this board. Not until that law is repealed. I am completely opposed to it.
