what about limiting certain areas the site until someone has been a member "x" long?
after the recent rash of unpleasantry in the Llounge, which is where I expect most psocks will troll, what if we limit it? say that someone has to be a member for... I dunno... a month, 6 weeks, 3 months?

I'm not sure how everyone else found their way around at the beginning, but I started with just my device (the Kindle) forum, then the News, then the newbie area. it probably took a good 6 weeks for me to feel comfortable enough to check out the Lounge. I know it's different for everyone, but *shrug* it might keep the spammers down. especially the ones who HAVE been banned and want to come back and stir the pot. I also realize that every forum is vulnerable, but it seems that the Lounge is the biggest target.

just my .02
