I understand the need for the new policy, and hope it will achieve the desired effect.
By 'desired effect', I mean increasing the signal-to-noise ratio in the main forum.
Just wanted to clarify that.
Right, as long as the noise is limited to the newbies forum it keeps the main forums much cleaner without all the crap posts like 90% of the stuff in here. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Yes but doesn't the requirement of having a certain number of posts in the noob forum before posting elsewhere cause the noob section to have this prevalence of worthless posts (much like the one that I just wrote here)? ;\ ....but of course.
