Think the best way to go on this after some thought is a 5 day ban and if repeated a permanent ban.
It could also be set if the user comes online there would be a message letting them know why...
Yes
No
Just Warn
Dont Care
Moderate Them

i'd very much be in favour of this. it would put the noobs off from joining and posting instantly. also, is there anything we can do about noobs sending pm's requesting invites right after joining. i suggested before making the invites section not viewable until the conditions have been met, then they wont see who has what invites. and they wont be able to nag them over and over for an invite.
I voted yes.
The reason for this is that most noobs who post here have probably gone to the invite section, realised they can't post there and just thought "bugger this I'll post in the BitTorrent section".
Think about it. If they do that here would you trust them enough on a site you invite them to. I know I wouldn't.
The best things in life are worth waiting for! If they can't wait 30 days then they can sod off elsewhere.
Ive suggested removing the ability for n00bs to use pm messages as its abused more than used it seems...Originally Posted by j0hn
i've used and have not abused it.
Those who dont want to receive PM can choose to do so. Maybe an option to not receive PM from noobs should be created.
Those that choose to receive PMs should not have to put up with strangers asking for something.Originally Posted by Hermiod

I would make it clear by putting that rule in the TITLE of the sticky and if they still post an invite request/trade suspend their account for 1 month.
Just warn them! Show them the Stiky thread because a lot of people tent to ignore them! Then if they do it again ban them.
I don't see the reason of banning a n00b for a mistake that could just be moderated or at least be warned first.
Sure it maybe annoying for the mods to moderated every n00b personally for such things but it won't hurt if you just warn them first!
Just warn them,
noobs do noob things cause they're noobs
i'm sure sure Rozz can make an auto responder for this type of issue...
If they do it once, warn them. If they do it twice, ban them.
