Restrict thread creation

Postby Jackard » Sat Nov 27, 2010 7:25 pm

See title.

Add a restriction preventing new players from starting threads until some amount of time has passed. A day, a week, a month, whatever.
and/or
Add a cooldown to starting threads, so you cannot post several at one time. Lasts half hour, an hour, or whatever

It shouldn't apply to How Do I.

This might actually be a great idea, for everywhere except How Do I? and maybe Dwarves and Thieves. Neophytic threads about drama, trades and uninformed suggestions are typically irrelevant and/or embarrassing.

Agreed if possible.

Maybe they'd start using search.

Just a cooldown, a cooldown for registered players up to a month. No cooldown for the rest.

More likely they'd start spamming existing threads with irrelevant questions.

The cooldown is for everyone, new players are not the only ones spamming threads.

Post throttle would be like tidiness removal for the forums, I wouldn't stand a chance of ever catching up with Sabinati :(
