I saw this for the first time just now, and wondered the same thing.

I think it's a strange idea. What if a new member needed help (on a topic that hasn't already been covered), and then they couldn't start a new thread to ask for the help that they need?

Excellent point.

Good Idea! I like it especially other than the only point that others mentioned that what if they want to start a thread which hasnt been answered before. Well you could ask a mod but that will be too much for them to handle everyone.
But the thought that they should at least get familiar with the board and the other topics that exist before pasting the same thing is an excellent thought.

Umm, on second thoughts, they can still post it in lounge because the posts there arent counted. So if they still have to start something they can start in the lounge and if the mods think its worthy enough then they can move it to the appropriate sectons. Otherwise uslesss topics/spam collected in the lounge only instead of all sections like we have been seeing in a while.

This might also help curbing down some bots that might come on board for random posting like they do in some forums and chat.
