Aw, give us a hoon on your forum, would ya?

 

I'm very sympathetic to policies designed to combat spam. It's pretty grotty stuff. Surely there are better ways, no?

Couldn't users be required to fill in a captcha for the first 20 messages or something? This unusual policy is a high barrier to entry for legitimate potential members of the community.

This anti-troll policy is arguably great to prevent existing trolls from joining the forums. But I put it to "you" that it might create more trolls than it filters!

Noob hole? This is awful.
