I see many no-post users posting in the Bitcoin forum their malicious apps or dumb questions regarding Bitcoin.

Personally, I wish that they were stuck back at the newbie section. At least all the garbage posts were restricted to one area that I could avoid.

And even if those accounts are banned, it only takes a few minutes to get a new one. Having some sort of newbie restriction will at least increase the time cost of such behavior.

Yeah man newbies should me limited again!! it really gets annoying to see newbies posting trolling spamming every section cuz they don't worry about getting banned or getting a negative trust rating also its only newbies who come up with every new magical ideas and deals from which 99% are scam. Let them work on their profile a bit like we did and once they earn it they can post anywhere then quite fair enough i guess !!! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Where are you seeing mass newbie posts? They mostly stay in the beginners section from what I've seen.

I have seen & reported a lot since the newbie restrictions have been lifted and I'm hoping Theymos realizes that the 'Freeing of the Newbies' was a big mistake and solves this problem soon, I agree that the Newbie section didn't prevent spam but it did prevent the spamming of boards which I actually read to gather information and join in on conversations. Lately that has been impossible because of the noise to signal ratio. I'm pretty sure some of the staff members have the same opinion of many of us and hopes a decision is made soon, at least they have figured a way to reduce the spam for the signature payouts.

Well if a post counts as a vote here, I'll add my 2 satoshis. Restricting Noobs gives them a chance to READ a little, and maybe learn something before asking repetitive stupid questions. Nothing wrong with a request for information, but if it was covered in depth within the last page or two in a thread, for the nth time, you really aught to have read it before asking. I've noted many, many more of these zero hour accounts post-whoring lately. put an end to it!

Restrictions are probably necessary to contain pointless posting
Wouldn't want to create needless barriers to entering the forum though
Light touch needed, a tweak no more

Maybe a compromise would be newbies are prohibited from making new threads outside beginners, but can reply to existing threads.

Works for me. The ridiculous amount of threads near identical threads by newbies over the last week had me ready to call for the return of newbie jail but your suggestion might be a reasonable compromise.

All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

That would be a good idea, but I'd still prefer the newbie jail.

Sure, the restrictions are mildly annoying, but more annoying to the rest of the forum when it gets cluttered up with questions that have been answered hundreds of times before.
