i think the best idea is let the mods do the job and add more mods for specific section to monitor the response of many new comers. because if you restrict the account below member you put a limit to them. as far as i know this is a forum that every body can share and can learn about bitcoin even there has many garbage threads, their account is new, evrybody here is equal. dont make their world become small. how can you motivate them if you restrict their account. you dont the talent of every new comers here. how they can earn a merit from that specific section they want to post a thread if you restrict them. sorry but i dis agree.

Why let the mods do the job if it can be done without them? Mods can do other stuff if this is not on them. And besides, I'm suggesting to let them create threads in some particular boards/sections like Beginners & Help where they can still ask their questions and post their queries, but until they learn the basic things, they should not be allowed to post in other more important sections. They still can post in the threads though, so that they can reach to the rank where their restrictions will be lift. And if they can't rank up, they will be in that position forever, and they deserve it.

The threads can be reviewed before its published.

That can help in this case, but it will be another hassle to hire more mods to cover the threads being published as we all know we have a very huge population in here. So restricting is still a better solution to that.

if you look into altcoin mining section, I think restriction for accounts below Member won't be good idea.

Well, I think I have clearly stated that there should be exclusions from the sections where they cannot start new threads. So they would be allowed to post in a few sections/boards like Beginners & help and some other whichever admins think are good choices for this.

Maybe add a new benefit to Copper Member?

The Copper member is what can solve the gap here.

That can be an addition to this implementation for sure. Members with abilities can buy Copper Member and post freely in any section they want (Copper Member advantages would need to be updated for sure). And I'm pretty sure that every spammer wont buy it just to post nonsense as they can't join paid campaigns with these ranks and it would be useless to buy a rank to post without getting any benefits out of it.

maybe just allow one topic in some other sections outside beginners and help, off-topic, etc... just because there can be someone who knows his stuff.

And what if they start creating new accounts just to ask their useless questions in other sections? That is why I suggested to allow them to post in just some sections like Beginners & help where they can ask anything they want, but nothing outside that section. That way, they will be compelled to just read the things in other sections and will only be able to reply but won't be able to ask the exact same things posted just a few minutes back by creating a new thread.

1) Most of these threads that look spam to you are made by new members who have very less knowledge about bitcoins and crypto. They are just asking their doubts which look funny to an experienced person.

2) Some members may be joining just to ask some questions here, if you restrict it from this, they will move to other platforms like Quora.

3) There is already a report to moderator option present on all options and you can use it if you find someone ding this repeatedly with wrong intentions.

1) Why do they need to ask about their doubts if they have already been answered before? All they need to do is to read, and that is what they don't do, and this restriction will make them do it, at least to some extent.

2) Well, they are always allowed to leave if they want. Having more people has never been a need of this forum. All we do here is get what we don't know and give away what we know. If you can't do both, then you are not welcome. And, I have said this too many times but saying it again, they should be allowed to post in some sections so that they can ask their questions.

3) We are tired of doing that. And if that could finish the spam we have in here, I don't think we would have a Merit system in the forum today.
