Have you seriously not seen the "bitswing" etc. mass-spammers that come here and spam the hell out the Newbie forum?! We do not censor or delete members here; it goes against everything that we stand for. We only delete the mass-spammers. Apologies, it's in Profile -> Modify Profile -> Look and Layout -> Don't warn on new replies made while posting. The Newbie forum is not considered an 'important' forum. However, I believe it has a lot to offer and since I became a moderator I have been discussing with the team about perhaps confining the post-count spam to one or two megathreads and keeping the rest of the discussion spam-free. If you look at the main forums you will see that there are many discussions ongoing and no spam cluttering them. You will appreciate all of this a lot more when you reach 50 posts. If you have an issue with how things are done and can suggest a better way to accomplish the same task (confining the "btkoin / bitswing" mass-spammers to one forum instead of allowing them free reign over all the forums) then please do let me know how you would go about it.
