    Not at all. I see no reason for newbies who are genuine to get less than people who have been around a while or have a high post count. It's just that there is a higher percentage of spammers amongst newbies unfortunately.

    Guess what? You were a newbie once too. ;)

    My point was that a spammer is unlikely to get through 1000 posts before getting caught out. Whereas the tiered approach still leaves scope for genuine users to join in.

    But how does restricting the PM storage for a newbie help? how does it thwart a spammer??
    After the uprising of the 17th June The Secretary of the Writers Union
    Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people
    Had forfeited the confidence of the government And could win it back only
    By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government
    To dissolve the people
    And elect another?
