That's what annoys me. I know that it might not be a huge problem, but I just thought maybe this could be reduced so that only genuine and legit services are promoted because projects and services that use such promotional methods can barely be genuine or legit.
The problem is how do you quantify which products is a legit one, we have seen accounts here who aren’t newbies promotes scam services or projects too. Although a restriction like this will reduce it but scammers will be scammers they will still wait to the certain time frame you suggested to be added before they do their deed. I definitely agree with no too much restrictions on newbies as others have stated. My own input is cases like that brought by Oshosondy shouldn’t be left untreated by the admins/mods.
