I think the amount of new peeps stating the same says something.

Perhaps you need a lesson in statistics.

If there are 100 newbies complaining, and 10,000,000 newbies that figured it out just fine, is it really worth anybody's time and effort to try and force the 0.001% to see something that the other 99.999% didn't have a problem with?

The amount of new peeps stating the same thing is meaningless without knowing the amount of new peeps NOT stating the same thing.
I make it 137004, perhaps you need to brush up on your maths.

Anyhow I have better things to do than to pick holes with you full members that hangout in the newbie section giving newbies a hard time...seeya!

Hi All,

Just a quick note to admins, it took me a couple of visits before I realized why I could not post or reply.

I thought my profile was faulty.

I think it would be handy for some extra notification to the fact you have no permissions etc.  I have used lots of forums but the whole newbie thing here is not that obvious really.

Regards

So you are unable to read the T&C you accepted? But you are able to happily and quickly open a thread where you whine and cry about that.  Roll Eyes

Oh and yes, the newbie section is exactly for that: to avoid people like you to freely roam the forum and spam everywhere

the current system is keeping out all but the most determined people
Anyone with more brain than a cockroach have no problem dealing with the current system and understanding how the newbie rules work.

No crying, complaining or spamming here.

Yes maybe the current system is keeping out all but the most determined people…so maybe it’s a good thing Cheesy

The thing is nobody reads T&C etc…they just click especially when it’s in the same colour text.

A large Red Message at the top of the forum would do.  I am sure it would be possible to only show it to “newbie” users/permissions.  We did it like this on one of our forums and it worked well.
