Stipulations for Mods to have the ability to nuke a Newbie account -
Regular mods can ban Newbies if they haven't been whitelisted by another mod, don't have Copper membership (IIRC), and have less than 150 posts or less than 30 posts if they have earned at least 1 merit.
Perhaps this is as good a place as any to also remind users that staff/mods are ALSO regular users. We have opinions and ideas the same as other regular users, some are good ideas and opinions and some not so good. Some of us can be a little cunty some are nice all the time. Most of us have different levels of participation and knowledge about the forum and blockchain tech.

And I would add that we are not Bitcoin's customer service. ~snip~
It's the hilarious how some people think there's a customer service for everything and go from "please sir, i'll do anything" to "i'll find you and..." when they don't get what they want.
