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.

Being able to do this could disrupt topics.
Someone would make a post, get some bad replies and then decide to delete it. It would be silly.

Who is Pink Pig?

I don't know, if the truth be told...

His posts are quite good, he doesn't come here offen but his contributions are much appreciated!

I can see where Tony is coming from.

All of the newbies may not be to blame, but those certain few have ruined it for all of you by posting really pants topics. They were warned, but didn't listen.

Maybe Tony will reverse the decision if those newbies behave themselves.

*TING, TING, TING, TING!!!!*

My idea is this... how about, when we post new topics... we fill in a drop down thing that says whether Just Notables, Notables and Regulars or Notables Regulars, Newbies and JAT's can add to the discussion...

or is there anyway of enforcing a 'ban' on people who 'clutter' up the topics... a 4 week ban would be VERY good, as it isn't TOO long but it isn't too short that people 'break the law' for fun!

Banning Newbies isn't very efficient!

Game

I don't post crap and I've been here for over 300 days. Am I cool with you Game because you're cool with me. I would consider myself a trusted poster.

Well said Game, I think this is really out of order, I write quite good topics on Prime and that you should only ban people if they wtie pointless posts!

Oh my god Spider! You've almost reached Regular status in 3 days! It's taken me 6 months and I am over 1000 words less than you. Have you been spamming?
