A VVulf works to limit Newbie spam...

[DerVVulfman]

Permissions set.

With the exception of posting within Occasions and Feedback, Newbie status members may only view the other boards.

This hopefully does a number of things, primarily cutting down the amount of spam content while retaining members who actually wish to contribute to the community. Of course our safeguards for Private Messaging and the like are in place, so only fully registered members may use such features to prevent unwanted advertising and spamming.

At the same time, Moderators now have an easier task at checking a Newbie-ranked member's initial post to determine if it is spam content solely to enter the forum. With that and the statement that reads "Spam intro threads will be deleted." within both registration and announcement messages, moderators can thus take proper measures.

This is Phase 3.

...........................................does anyone have a better name for Newbie or Newbite?
