Well, it's true. This question has been answered so many times in the short time
I've been here, and it's probably been asked & answered 10,000 times since the forum
was started. The newbie restriction is actually important, as it prevents bots and such
from posting unlimited numbers of spam threads and posts. This place would become a
hotbed for spam if that one little rule didn't exist. The mods can barely keep up with
the usual number of shit posts.
