Title: Is caging newbies better than restricting the creation of new threads?
Post by: TiagoTiago on June 15, 2011, 12:42:40 PM
In many forums i've seen instead of restricting access to newbies, they let them reply as usual, but creating new threads is only allowed after a given number of posts. Why is keeping them into a little pit till they "grow up" is better than just restricting new thread creation? (I'm not saying i think it's worse, i'm just curious about the thought process behind the decision)

because bolloxing up an old thread is just as bad as making a new one, maybe? :)
