so, fellow newbies, just in case you were wondering why you have to be stuck in "newbie prison" for 4 hours/5 posts... this greatly reduces the amount of spam the boards receive.

Seems to work pretty well, eh?

Not in this forum, but everywhere else, yeah it does.

yes, it does not prevent spam in this forum, but I much prefer it instead of those darn captchas....

Yeah, it's all a small price to pay for the quality of the rest of the board and lack of captchas.
