thank you for this - that way at least we can keep our spam to this section instead of all over the newbie jail.

i think the newbiejail is pretty counter-intuitive as it promotes spamming the newbie section of the forum just so you can post in the real forum.

It should promote intelligent and useful discussion in the Newbie Forum along with time for Newbies to learn a bit about Bitcoin and the Forum.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of Newbies who have the patience of a 4 year old, and feel that spam is a much more useful way to get 5 posts.

but newbies will spam this forum and many more experienced persons will likely avoid this part of the forum as a direct result. Therefore, only newbies will answer newbies questions, which doesn't seem very helpful at all to me.

I've got over 2,700 posts, and over a year participating in discussions here at BitcoinTalk.org, and yet here I am seeing you post in the Newbie Forum.

Here's a link to someone with over 9,000 posts, and over 18 months participating in discussions here at BitcoinTalk.org, and yet there they are are seeing and responding to a post in the Newbie Forum:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=187577.msg1943651#msg1943651

There are plenty of experts who frequent and participate in the Newbie Forum.

I'm thinking the same but I understand that it is a good idea to prevent spamming the main forum.
