I will take away the power of Newbies to create new Topics if you do not stop posting more and more new topics on here.

This forum is for PRIME TOPICS.

Five new topics in 15 minutes is just ridiculous.

My mind is made up.

Newbies will not be allowed to start new topics on the Prime Topics forum.

Tony. You ARE the man.

Simple solution, and it should work.

The idea of forums is that they be used for discussion.

Too many new topics leads to a lack of discussion, and a general decline in the popularity of the forums.

Regulars will understand that they only start decent, game related threads here, so eventually all of the chatty stuff, that should be on the other side of the bridge, will disappear from this forum.

And hopefully, we'll get a nice, game related forum again. :-)

Tony I think that is really unfair. You should stop certain people, not everyone. I dont think i've dont that bad with topics on Prime, only on chat when i was learning.

:(

If this rule is kept it will put down SR very badly!

Damn. So where do we post our interesting topics? Even though I am a newbie, I have to say, good call Tony. I am kissing up to Tony and the Regulars way too much lol. So anyways, where will the newbies that have brains and common-sense post their interesting topics. Like I believe I came up with a few rocket busters eg.

Copularity Pontest - That got over 300 replies.
All About Ram - Became a very interesting topic indeed.
Doomed To Success - A great discussion about the start of gore-fest games.

Remember, I am not complaining but just spilling my guts, so to speak. I would not blame you if you shouted at me back.

*Shaneo puts on a helmet and prepares for the wroth of Tony*

(Again, just kidding)

u should kick the people who start useless forums like 'the longest forum ever' kind of thing, which has nothing what so ever to do with gaming, and people end up replying with messages like 'im english'...sigh

WHAT?!
How can you do this... Okay so most newbies post crap but what about people like Pink Pig?!

Soon enough the Newbies are going to turn into Regulars and the same thing will happen! You need to, and I urge you to, think up a different but off point... people who've been here more than 200 days, Notables and 'Trusted Posters'

Banning Newbies isn't very efficient!
