An Idea That Could End the Newb Issue

Okay, heres my idea that could end the newb problem. When a new user creates an account, they will only have posting acess to a new forum called the Newb Forum. the newbs will have the ability to see all other public forums but they will not be able to post there, so after either 100 posts in the Newb Forum or 10hrs activly online, they will be promoted to a normal user. This idea should fix the problem of newbs creating dumb threads or posting in threads that have been inactive for years.

It's a good idea other than the fact that the newbs will spam the living shit out of the newb forum just so they can be a normal member.

Nobody will want to join the site then.  Just put yourself in that situation and think of it and you'll realize that we would get approximately one pissed off new member each day if your idea went through.

Exactly. We were all there before.


What if a guest wants to just get a quick answer but when he signs up he is restricted to some dumb forum or cant post for 10hr's? That would be frustrating enough to leave.



The idea has been pitched before and it doesnt work.

The only way to solve the newb problem is to stop allowing new members.
I'm all for it.

Useless thread, this is worse than the "noob issue" in my opinion. First of all, the new issue you speak of isnt an issue, its the future of NS! not only that but your not going to end it, you just gotta get over it

people dont post stupid stupid stuff because they are noobs but because they think its fun and like to annoy people. They wouldnt be taught anything from that.  good thinking but it wouldnt solve anything nothing will

hahahahaha you my friend are a newb, a new person to the site, but dont worry you will learn, the issue is that sometimes newbs dont know what to post, and bring up old stuff, and say dumb stuff. but everyone was once a newb. the number of posts you have effects the little name under your number of posts, but that isnt the only thing that can make you a newb. i was a member for a really long time, but i just looked at vids. people are gunna be dicks to you for a while, but dont worry, its like bein a freshman, and u grow out of it.

fuck that was a long post

what this site needs is a lot more tollerance for the inexperienced. if only people could have a little more common sense and a little less attitude we would be good to go.

i just think its really funny when people with 100 or 500 posts call people noobs. i mean seriously... i have nothing against "noobs" at all, i just think its hilarious when people who ONLY have like 5, 600 posts think that they know all their shit. i mean come on... you are in no position to call people noobs

worst idea ever. just because someone doesnt post alot doesnt mean they dont have something good to say...some of the pros on here dont have many posts and your going to restrict them of posting to 1 forum full of 12 year old kids that just want 100 posts about nothing?

Post count doesn't matter. You could have 30 posts and make a retarded comment, or you could have 17,057 posts and still be a complete jackass.
