[OHayou]

My first ever "new thread" is of a more serious and somber tone:

I have noticed that every once in a while a pesky solicitor will pop on and spam some of their malarkey peddling whatever merchandise they are peddling or someone will just spam random statements endlessly.

Why not offer New Members the ability to post as much as they want but within time constraints such as once every 10 minutes for 1 day. Then after 1 day is up they can post as much as they want.

The time period can be adjusted but the basic premise is to limit "uncomfirmed" people's posts to a minimal amount until there is enough user interaction with the community to form a general idea of the direction this person is headed.

Rule stipulation: In order to activate "new member" flag a user must post a meaningful message and not just create account, type a random sentence, wait x days, and start spamming their merchandise.

I'm sure at least one moderator pops online once every couple hours and would catch any spamming/random spamming statements and the collateral damage would be limited to only a few posts.

Seems like an easy rule to implement ...mainly because I don't have to do anything except suggest an idea (the easiest part) lol
