@LoyceV, I am not saying that those legitimate users will be delighted if they have to wait more than 6 minutes, but in the last few days we have dozens of newly created accounts that manage to make 3-4 posts before being banned. I think that every beginner should therefore prove himself before he gets the opportunity to use the forum like everyone else - and if that means he has to wait 10 or 15 minutes between two posts until he becomes a Jr.Member, I don't think that would discourage most legitimate users.

I agree that we simply cannot protect some users from themselves, but we can raise the bar to a higher level to make it harder for scammers to do their job on this forum.
