Regarding opening a thread !!!

I have a question to the IF development team - why there is no restriction in opening a thread by a newbie ???
I noticed this from the beginning that anyone just sign in here which is so easy & open a thread on such silly topic...how many times a viewbie or channel moderator come to close the thread ? And after closing still it presents the first page on the forum for few times...and for this the important threads are going far behind...

Sorry but I never see any thread opened by a newbie on any important relevant topic of that forum...

I am extremely sorry if my point is wrong...actually I am totally irritated to see all the irrelevant topics again & again...I have no intention to hurt anyone...sorry once again !!!

Actually to some extent I agree with you. There should be a certain limit on no. of posts that a newbie must attain before they open a thread. As I've too seen many a times that newbies come up, open a thread on irrelevant stuff and then vanish into thin air. Many of them neither visit the forums or go through the happening discussions, leave out the rules and regulations thread. Many a times even after seeing a queries thread available, we'd see newbies opening a thread for asking any random question and then not visiting again.The viewbies do close the thread and warn them to use the relevant thread but none of them really listen. This leads to cluttering of the forums page with many threads being closed unnecessarily. 

I agree as well Shree. There are a lot of newbies who do that and in fact it seems that a lot of them just register to post these annoying posts and then leave. I feel that opening posts should be left to higher levels.

This is a genuine problem. Some newbies just register and immediately open a line of threads with one-line queries about the serial or some irrelevant stuff and never come back again. Edited by visrom - 12 years ago

When I joined this forum it was the rules and regulations which made me stay silent untill I understand what forum is all about. But after I knew what are the do's and don't there was no stopping. But now some newbies are just opening threads for silly reasons... It is really annoying thing. And not once but many times. I agree that because of this many important topics are going behind.

I don't thing because of being a new member a person should be forgiven everytime. There should be an end to such new topics being opened uneccesarily. Once there is a rule that a newbie can't start new topic they will come to the right way on IF.

I don't intent to name someone. I think its an important issue. I have got angry many times seeing such new threads...

i agree... many times we have seen newbies opening random & irrelevant threads... being not aware of the rules completely, they tend to do it more...

Another thing that could happen is that viewbies could still open threads, but they will only be shown after a moderator approves them. That way the viewbies that have something important to say can still say it.

This is the problem of all forums. Not only new members. 

Actually not all newbies open random threads or are troublemakers ..its only few who make IDs to simply advertise their own websites or forums ..so those particular newbies have their own motives behind making IDs on IF and in most cases admins ban those type of newbies asap ..

This is an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL idea!! I really really wish the admin takes a note of this.
past few days we had a person who was continuously posting one liners in so many forums..it went on for days...the mods are there to close down such topics but i also understand completely that they arent available 24x7. And by the time they reach the troubled site, the forum is cluttered with pages and pages of spamming..
so the best solution is to restrict the newbies from creating threads and it be allowed only after reaching groupbie.
im sure this will solve MAJORITY of the problems relating to spammers and people who return here through MIDs only to create havoc.
thanks!
