Title: Moderator - can we PLEASE have a newbie filter switched on ? Post by: PseudoCode on July 30, 2015, 11:51:42 PM I realise this is the speculation forum, and that some "noise" is acceptable, but surely you must be getting tired of deleting 1-post accounts with the same stupid troll contents over and over again ? They dont add anything useful or interesting.
Can you re-enable that feature that was on a while back that prevents newly created accounts from posting within minutes. Make them wait a few days, or even better, accumulate some posts in the newbie zone that need some form of up-vote for being vaguely useful before they are allowed to run all over the board spouting the same BS over and over again ?

Same person or group of people posting the same FUD linking to the same charts. We point out it's FUD, they delete the thread and post a new one. Bring back newbie jail please.

I don't know if the OP has the right to move the thread to another section in the forum, if he really can do this, then you are right.

I sometimes doubt that this forum is moderated at all.

But the real problem here is that the newbie jail isn't going to come back, as can be deduced from many similar threads. :( Title: Re: Moderator - can we PLEASE have a newbie filter switched on ? Post by: White sugar on July 31, 2015, 01:00:27 AM You are talking about newbie jail. Lots of discussions about it and it won't come back.
But add a option to auto-ignore newbie or brand new accounts would be possible, not sure if already suggested Title: Re: Moderator - can we PLEASE have a newbie filter switched on ? Post by: PseudoCode on July 31, 2015, 01:35:18 AM I can see where I can lock this thread by editing the original post, but not where I can move it to Meta. Can anyone advise me ?
Otherwise, I will recreate it in meta, post a link to there and then lock this thread. Sorry for putting it in the wrong area, I thought it might be an area-specific problem.
