In many forums i've seen instead of restricting access to newbies, they let them reply as usual, but creating new threads is only allowed after a given number of posts. Why is keeping them into a little pit till they "grow up" is better than just restricting new thread creation? (I'm not saying i think it's worse, i'm just curious about the thought process behind the decision)
(I dont always get new reply notifications, pls send a pm when you think it has happened)

Wanna gimme some BTC/BCH for any or no reason? 1FmvtS66LFh6ycrXDwKRQTexGJw4UWiqDX Smiley

The more you believe in Bitcoin, and the more you show you do to other people, the faster the real value will soar!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

because bolloxing up an old thread is just as bad as making a new one, maybe? Smiley
