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] CrazzySnipe55 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?[/quote] In my example, ups/downs would not be visible to the public - you'd only see what you've done. But it doesn't necessarily matter as it pertains to this thread. The bigger idea was that the total votes (from everyone) could be viewed by moderators to help understand trends and general user feedback. My thought was that this information would only be visible to the public on a per-user basis to make the votes more genuine and less influenced, but even if all votes could be seen by the public it'd work the same way.
