If the powers that be here are to lazy to get off their collective asses and upgrade the forum software to fix loopholes that make them disable avatars theye sure as hell will never do that ;-/

Edit: Now lets see if they really allow self policing & dont warn me for my freedom of speach !

I think the forum uses the Newbie section as one way to control spam.

The newbie section is actually a good idea and controls most spam which occurs on the forum. Obviously, you'll get a few which break free and start spamming. But, they are normally dealt with within the first few minutes because of users reporting the post.

Just that I noticed that this site uses the same SMF.
Curiosity more than anything I guess.
