Title: It would be nice to put a message that newbies can't post in the top of the page Post by: ronenfe on February 18, 2013, 10:49:29 PM or in an alert, or a private message in the inbox.
After trying to find how to post for a while, I had to search the web to find why i can't post here.

It's the first time i see such thing, usually you get a verification email, which allows you to post after that. how should people know they have to go to the newbie forum in the first place? well nobody reads the registration terms :) Title: Re: It would be nice to put a message that newbies can't post in the top of the page Post by: DannyHamilton on February 18, 2013, 11:15:15 PM - snip - well nobody reads the registration terms :) Those who don't bother reading the "important information about the forum" message provided at signup, aren't going to bother reading any of those other sources you mention either. They'll either figure it out, or they will go away. If they are too oblivious to see the message provided in the signup screen AND too distracted to see the topic pinned to the top of the Newbie Forum AND to lazy to try figuring out where they can post, then they probably weren't going to ever contribute much of value anyhow.
