Nah, often times the reason people join is to ask a question. If they are blocked from asking their question the moment they join it will be much more difficult to integrate them into the community

havent really thought about it that way, but i have noticed it quite a lot. thanks for pointing that out, simple as it may have been.

I guess it was the way of the moderators to limit newbies from asking shallow questions. What I mean is that there are things about bitcoin that they can learn by themselves already by searching on the internet. Another thing is that it will oblige them to roam around the forum because there are basic questions that have been answered before. I am once a newbie and before I registered, I roam around the forum first out of curiosity.

Good points.

@few replies : I didn't mean to prohibit newbies from posting in topics.
I just asked to prohibit them from starting topics which are mostly spammy/scammy ones. Maybe I should specify that they could always open a topic in beginners and help section or even in meta (+ their respective languages).
Other boards could be accessible too after the mod of the selected sub approves the topics, maybe? Like that useless and spammy posts could be rejected and we can reduce the spam.
