I'm sure I'm not the first to complain...

... but this 5-post thing doesn't really make sense to me.

IIf the problem is that if you ban spammers they will just come back with another account and annoy the regular forums, why don't you do something cool about the ban process? There's hellban, slowban and errorban (or any combination of these). The spammers will GTFO on their all volition and never come back. Everyone wins.

Surely, as you have 13 posts and still hanging out here.

You're supposed to use that time to read some threads and get familiar with the community. This has little to do with spammers, and more to do with people not caring about what they post because they knew it was easy to just get another account if they were banned. That, and the regulars were annoyed by always being asked the same questions.

Anyway, please use the Newbie restrictions sticky for these discussions. Yes, we read it.
