No more newbie jail so if you see something bad from newbie posters, report it.
Read theymos' vision on newbies. They are welcome here and there are spaces for them to enjoy. They can be given time and chance to correct mistakes but if they don't change, ban hammer will drop on their accounts.
I agree a hundred percent with dzungmobile why the heck should newbies be restricted from posting links? The forum is an open and free space and if you feel worried about some newbies that spam with links why don't you take the personal duty of reporting them?
Infact if there were no spam posts to be nuked, of low quality posts to be deleted of what importance will the moderators be? . As far as I am concerned as well as there are newbies that spam and scam so there are also those genuinely here to learn and also express themselves via discussions.
Newbies have been restricted from posting images, using avatars and signature and I believe it's quite ok.
