Ok i help run a forum for a totally different subject, so i know its nice to have the member list number rise as much as possible.
But my idea was, to have new members have say 20 reasonable non spam posts before they can post in all the sections, especially the supplements section. People seem to log on for the first time and ask "can i take protein/creatine to make me huge without exercising and if i take 14 shakes a day will this work??"
They would still be able to view the section and use the search function etc, but it may help questions being asked again and again by noooobs.
I know im quite new to the site myself, so its a bit of a contradiction.

Or limit posters under 18 to the Teen Bodybuilding page.
Or provide a site for new posters that they see after they register with links to the threads that get posted most often.

I get tired of the incessant "is it too late to get muscle?" threads that are created by noobs in the over 35 section.______________________

Nice in theory, but then most noobs would just go to another forum to ask their stupid questions and BB.com would have less people browsing their forums - which means less people that are likely to browse their store.
The forums here are great, but their main purpose is to attract people to the site and help sell their products. That means that everyone is welcome.******
I'm American, not German. There's a difference between "location" and "nationality". Thanks.

Back to this idea, is there anything at all that can be worked out?
Will no-xplode make me huge
Will superpump make me big
Ive never worked out before, should i get dat dere celltech
It becomes very tedious, and takes away from the good topics.
Can the mods be directed to remove these types of posts and told to pm the poster to use the search function instead.
