No... really. Seriously. Stop laughing.
I know I've been a main culprit of this, and I really shouldn't be the one to speak, but this is getting out of hand. Some intelligent newbies have been appearing over the past month, and they are still being treated like cheatguru. I've got nothing against people taking the mick out of people like that, I mean they're disabled, and can't fight back, but this is silly. These newbies really ARE human, and it's not nice.

Maybe Newbies should be allowed to post for a week...
Before being judged by one or more of the Notables...
Wherein they may be black balled or accepted into this unholy covern...
(I pity the fool who gets judged by Sniper)

I remember the day it first appeared, already about three newbies were asking what they needed to do to become a regualr so there you go!
I have ze good memory (dodgy french accent)

This sort of thing could not be kept a secret.

I've always been against picking on Newbies.
Still, I'll admit that some certain newbies have asked for it but classing the problem as newbies caused innocent ones to get blamed a bit and started this "quickly post 350 topics to become a regular"
I think that the system is alright but Tony shouldn't have told us how it works.
It encourages spamming!

I have always been kind(ish) to newbies...
I think grix ate something bad to say that though, maybe to much cheese!

The language filter stopped me from writing what I wanted to, so I chose a simular word.

Or the "Find any other topic that could win gameaday today so I can flame it" button.

Good Idea
I'll place it up there with "find the last post made by this newbie so that I can prod him" ("Chase" Link)

Thank you M16.
What made me think really, was when I looked at my first ever post, the other day. I compared it to the post of another newbie on here now. No difference in spelling, grammer, content... both complete crap.
Since then, I've found the enter key. So time does make a difference, and we're not giving them a chance. This two FOG's thing was to spread the newbies, so it wouldn't be so much of a pain. It's worked for me, but not many people are giving it a chance.
