...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?

The message is a good idea, but they shouldn't have to stall to ask a question. Most new members sign up to ask a question. The longer they wait, the more likely they'll go to another source for help.
