Forum no longer has newbie jails according to theymos' vision on the forum growth. The head admin considers newbie jails are very harmful not only for newbies but also for forum iself in general.

Newbie jail was not about visibility but about newbies not being able to post outside a certain board. Even then, newbie posts in that board will be visible to everyone.
There has never been an algorithm to restrict how many people can view a post on the forum.

I think removing newbie jail without introducing some sort of alternative was a mistake.

We have too many senior members hiding behind newbie alt accounts in order to post some topic meant to smear someone's name or create a new project, which may or may not turn out to be a complete scam in the future.

And there is a lot of unnecessary shilling going on. Nobody can make any connections to the original account because they no longer need to stock up on merit or posts.

@Jay, if you are limited to post only in one board, your visibility is limited, there's no better explanation than that. When you are only visible in one board out of 50 boards, isn't that visibility limitations?

@goldkingcoiner, do you think if there was an alternative to newbie jail, the Snr members who registered their alts wouldn't know ways to go about it?
