dont u think its time that regulars are the only ones who can post a new topic, no offense on newbies, as we were all one once are selfs but just look at the nintendo forum now, clogged up with useless spamming by a JAT named condom.

Totally agree with you Pro Evo. Now I'm not going to defend newbies just because i AM one, because I know very well what you mean. The SR guys are doing their best by banning people and we should be thankful. Spammers usually get banned a few days after they sign up anyway.

Yeah, i see what you mean. But still, i dont think SR would even consider blocking new users to post, you have seen the number of new users come, all of them are potential customers like i said before, if SR block them, they may loose money over that for what is, in all honesty, just a chat forum which doesnt rank highly on there chart in comparison to profits.

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but SR users aren't human, which explains why you can never actually please them....

have u seen how extream this condom has spammed though, not just in one topic, in about 50 he created, if this were to happen in prime topics i'm sure we would have a bigger response.

Thing is though, there are some decent newbie posters so it kind of sends out a message for then to go away, that this is a restricted club, in the end, not only do they loose out, but so do SR, as they could become customers.

You just have to live with it...like us in the Sony Forum...

I think we've all been here long enough to spot a topic that's gonna be interesting or if it's spam.

I understand what you're saying, but too many restrictions will put off new members and Special Reserves intereactive features will lose their appeal to new members.

Some regulars and even Notables post utter tripe on occasion...

yeh but its not just condom, there are topics like, which is better, MGS2 or GTA3, they are totaly different games! or GC is crap Ps2 will kick it!, and silly stuff like that, y dont SR just allow Regulars to post new topics and no one else (well and notables), then newbies can get a feel of the forums and know what and what not to type and eventually when they have became a regular, know what to post for a good topic.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
