Bring back the newbie jail

[Lauda]

Well, essentially all the junk that was forcibly quarantined in the newb section was spread everywhere else: spambots, begging posts, stupid begginers questions in the Bitcoin subforum etc.

This. Before you could just avoid the newbie section and you were fine, now you need to avoid most of the forum.

Doubt anyone's gonna listen. Definitely not theysmos. When was the last time he listened to the community?

He changed the signatures pretty quickly after a suggestion, I think.

What were the reasons for removing newbie hell again starting to forget remember it had opposite arguments
Now that we have seen the grass on both sides think the whitelist system was the way to go on this one
Then again with activity would take 1.5 months to escape without whitelisting

I'm not sure if any reason was given publicly, it just went one day, but I imagine white-listing to be a bit of a pain and pretty time-consuming for the mods.

Yes, please bring it back. At least once a day I am flagging a spam comment or an alt coin post in bitcoin discussion.

And the amount of n00bs who actually do not like Bitcoin is idiotic (probably all created by Paul Krugman).

At leave provide the option of an auto-ignore on all people with less than X amount of posts.

Only one or so?  You're easily annoyed, but maybe an ignore all newbies setting may be beneficial to some.

Yes bring back the newbie jail. But also.... make sure that it is clear to newcommers that there is a jail.
Took me more then an hour to figure out wh i couldnt reply when i was but a young noob. that part was very annoying since there wasnt much help being offered on that subject.

How do you make it clear? Think all the info was there when you sign up and also in the stickie, but people tend to not read it and just skip past it.

Maybe as a layer above the site when you log in for the first time that will not go away for 10-15 seconds, containing info about newbie permissions?

Those were signatures.
This has been discussed multiple times, nothing was ever done.

Signatures have been discussed much more and for far longer than the newbie jail has been gone.

Finally you figured out the point of this.
These suggestions take too long to get processed.

There's no point I needed to figure out, but suggestions very rarely ever get processed or implemented.

What the hell are you mumbling about? Especially futile when you yourself acknowledge that they don't get processed  .

Now you've started copying, interesting.

Copying? What are you on about? You really need to articulate your points better.

As far as I can tell hilariousandco and LaudaM are both just replying to each other to get that sweet sweet post count number to move up.

If you follow hliariousandco, that's all I see. Padding that post count


More on topic, the currency exchange board is all newbies asking to buy or sell BTC.  Suspect this is the same issue in lending and other areas of marketplace.
