I think me and you came when there is much freedom in the forum. I have heard of "Newbie jail" that existed years back in the forum. I am pretty not sure how it worked, but I believe as the name implied, it was a restriction of newbies to some specific boards and their inability to do some things.

Since the idea of newbie jail is no longer invoke and theymos is unwilling to re-introduce it, you are free to post anywhere that allows you to post including the meta.
But don't abuse the privilege. Ensure you only post when you have something good to add to the conversation in order to avoid spamming.
