NOOB JAIL - should be reconsidered asap.

Another alternative is to restrict members to one personal account and one business account, and ban account sales.

Also banning some of the sig programmes would improve the image of Bitcoin, and could possibly improve the quality of posting.

I wholeheartedly agree that the noob jail needs to be brought back.  Now that some campaigns are explicitly telling applicants that posting in spam megathreads isn't allowed, friggin' noobs are just creating shit topics in the form of shit questions that require yes/no answers, or worse, threads like "What altcoin pump next?" which also gives you license to post lists of altcoins and call it a day.  That's bullshit.  I think at the very minimum, newbies should not be allowed to start threads.  I don't care if it seems unfair to noobs; you can get over yourself, because it'll help the forum overall, and noob status only lasts for 30 days anyway.  So suck it up.  I'd be open to pretty much any type of solution to the shitposting problem, because bitcointalk has gotten all but unreadable at this point.

Maybe we could implement some kind of newbie jail with becoming a copper member being sufficient to get out of newbie jail.

This would resolve most of the problems regarding spambots (as how they currently work).

I remember the old noobie jail. When I first joined here I had to get vouched to skip it. Not sure how much it will help, but the spam is worse today then back then for sure.
