Suggestion
Would it be possible to ignore Newbie-posts when sorting on "Last post" in the Altcoin boards? That would make it impossible for a Newbie to bump a thread (while they can still post). If needed, this can be increased to higher ranks too.

I quite like this suggestion. Would reduce most of the spam, and make legitimate threads with worthy discussion easier to find. I don't see much harm in it either. I guess we'll have a few people complain about equality but, honestly I think the pros greatly outweigh the cons in this.

That would work. It would make the use and throw accounts created just for the purpose of bumping ineffective.
But it seems to be a solution tailored for this particular problem. You would introduce a layer of complexity, without attacking the root cause.

I'm not normally one for imposing restrictions, but I feel that adding this would be beneficial. You can make a sticky highlighting that newbies can't bump topics, and for those who take no notice of stickies will likely not even notice that the topic isn't getting bumped.
