why not turn on newbie safeguard?

[RMPGP]

<p>Seems that every person that gets a hair up their ass comes here to register and create a whiny bitch fest thread.</p><p>&nbsp;Basically by letting newbies post new messages, you open the floodgates to every asshole with a chip on their shoulder.</p><p>&nbsp;WackBag, SternFanNetwork, and pretty much any major forum will have a safeguard against this.&nbsp; Basically not letting them post an actual thread until they have, say 50 posts.</p><p>&nbsp;The negativity here is fucking alarming.&nbsp; And it basically comes from anyone with less than 50 posts.</p>

because we welcome the strife.

<p>we feed off of the negativity.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Maybe there needs to be a ban...like only married couples with children can start threads...everyone has to wait or beg for their attention...
