Should New Members Have To Wait Longer.....
...to post/make threads?
Currently, when a new account is made, the Member must wait 1 day to make threads. However, they can post in threads from the start.
Would it be more beneficial if we delayed that a bit? Maybe make it so you have to wait 3 days to make a thread and 1 day to reply to threads. This could help with two things: making it a bit harder for trolls to make alts, and to ensure that the new member reads the rules.
Adding on to the "reads the rules" theme, I think it would also be beneficial if new members automatically got a message from the Disembodied Soul linking them to the Forum Rules and encouraging them to read it.
What do you think?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CAVX [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 For real though, I like all of the idea's you've proposed except the changing of the order of posts based on upvoting. That does lead to a logical argument of abuse because people can constantly upvote a thread to keep it at the top of the forum. Also, I'm just partial to seeing things chronologically. It lets me know what I have and have not read.[/quote] To clarify, the hiding and reordering of posts and threads as described in that idea would be per-user only. Only the user who is doing the upvotes and downvotes would see any difference. Perhaps a profile setting could change whether or not you want your post/thread order influenced by your personal upvotes.[/quote]But then at the same time would upvotes in general still be tallied in a manner that all users could see how many upvotes/downvotes a thread/post has?
