That's true, some people do spam to 50. However, two things: 1. some people actually take advantage of this time to ask questions and contribute still to review threads started in the newbie forum, etc.; and 2. at least the spam from real users here is not the same kind of spam intended to scam people out of their money. So we traded scammer spam for harmless spam ... still spam, yes, but not the kind that fucks people over.
