Like mk4 said, this is a total no-brainer; +1 all day long.

I get that this runs afoul of theymos' mission to make the forum as free as possible, and that is a principle I largely agree with, but there's no universe in which this particular proposal would cause more harm than good.

It's kinda I arrived late but I still have to contribute to the ongoing topic in the following format;

At first, you understood theymos mission of making the forum as free as possible. This is nice. I have seen similar suggestions about newbies but theymos didn't act and all is well since the DT power is not in the hnads of the said newbies
I don't think that there is any lender in the lending board who is willing to lend to any newbie without a collateral
So, to avoid spam, such newbies should be ignored outrightly or be warned and if they persist, they'll be tagged and everyone moves on

Maybe I'm playing the odd role as I differ from the OP
