Would limiting a member with, let's say, less than 25 reply posts to not be able to make a new thread be feasible? maybe a one-time allowance to the Introductions forum then straight to restriction.

Doable? or draconian?

Wouldn't they just spam within other peoples threads then, instead of creating their own?

eh... probably. maybe the extra clicks will deter the devious bastards for a day or two?

I believe this has been suggested before and subsequently shot down for one reason or another.

I don't see spam being an actual problem on Dakka :/

This exact thing was posted in this very forum less than 2 weeks ago, and has an open discussion thread. I use the term "open" loosely because it's been asked and answered.
