As much as I'd like to see more restrictions for Newbies, I think theymos has a point:

Sometimes I find your response is predictable.

As do I.

The world not to mention scamming has changed a lot just in the last five years - given this thread is predominantly in favour of the restriction being implemented, then it should be responded to by whomever has the final say.

(we'll save the comments on the apparent transfer of ownership of the Forum for another day).

I would also add jr members as well as newbies being banned from posting in the lending section (and there would be a case to make for the currency exchange section being added to that list, too).

Why should restricting on currency exchange section? I don't see any reason about it, the old or high rank user can ask the newbie to send first or using an escrow. Just be careful if you exchange with PayPal and such which the payment could be revert.

PayPal is another area where scammers are preying on unsuspecting forum members yet neither the Admin/mods, LoyceV nor theymos seem interested in intervention to protect such forum members who have been scammed by their continued silence on the matter.

Too hard? Not really. Just restrict access to newbies and Jr Members from those sections.
