Instead, the forum's mission is to be "as free as possible".
What if Newbies were, at least, prevented from
continuing to pollute a useless board with threads
when you have so many accounts there? (or better yet, close the entire board altogether!)*
*that whole original premise of moving things away from the Gambling section doesn't make sense when it has extremely low traffic at this stage. I think most people have clued in to things, and even if they haven't, you have users that will post on every new ponzi that comes warning people from participating.
Btw this forum has "ignore" function. I think the best alternative will be if theymos adds "hide" function and we won't even see users and their posts once they are hidden for us.
I don't think I have the patience to hit ignore for every new user that comes along. Multiply the effort by all active users and you've effectively wasted cumulative years of work on what amounts to swatting a few flies away... which come back swarming every time.
