We have seen a mess on the forum due to many similar and crap threads, what i have observed that most of these threads are started by "Brand New" and "Newbie" members.
Just a suggestion that if there would be some restrictions for "Newbie" and "Brand New" members that they can't start a new thread on the forum except "Beginners and Help" section then i think this will help to keep clean the forum.
Share your views about this. Thanks
In addition to that I want to suggest if there is a way to perform a form of walk through test for newbies immediately they are registered which will directly take them to certain threads that have been created by reputable members of the forum to serve as a way to answer most of their questions. Threads such as
1. How is activity calculated,
2. How do I rank up
3. How is trust system managed
4. Basic rules of the forum etc.
At the end of it there will be some acceptance to have read and agreed to it and if you are not clear, you can only post into that same thread and until you click affirmation before you move to the main forum. With that newbies will then be held responsible for asking questions they could have been provided answers to.
