At the risk of sticking my head above the parapet in this new sub forum I just wanted to give you a moderators perspective, I spend hours most evenings deleting scammer/spammer threads and posts in an endless battle to keep the forums free of crap so everyone can use the forums more safely and this new change will make that task infinitely less painful. It will also make all new accounts spend some time in the forums hopefully doing some research and reading before jumping in and creating new threads on topics that have already been discussed to death. I know not all accounts with under 50 posts are technically 'new' to these forums and understandably some people will find this development frustrating but before you know it you will have hit 50 posts anyway and be left wondering what all the fuss was about. Happy posting
