I agree with this, but don't see a way around it without some kind of "rookie" plugin for SMF that doesn't place posting restrictions on people unless veteran users censure them into the Newbie section during an initiation period. And that would be a fair amount of effort for which there is little incentive.

I can't wait to see someone standing on the side of the road wearing dirty clothes and holding a cardboard sign with a bitcoin address written on it in felt pen.

Not that such an image has anything to do with this request, of course.

Same here. I wanted to contribute to another thread, but just discovered that my Newbie status prevents that.
