call your box spam box, instead of newbie box.

The staff eliminated the newbie jail for some reason I guess, and it is even more harsh

If I recall correctly, about 3 hours online and a couple of posts. Maybe it wasn't the brightest ideas, but it kept a lot of troublemakers at bay.

IIRC, back when there was a newbie jail, new users need to make a post (they usually just made a simple "hello" post) and need to wait for a few hours before they can make posts freely. IMHO, it didn't work well at all, and it just created a lot of useless posts in the newbie section.

Can we please setup a newbie sandbox (sub) where users have to reach 50 posts before they can join the grown up guys? That would reduce trolling a lot. I mean, seriously, the amount of accounts which are created for plane trolling seem to be still increasing.

There used to be a newbie jail when i first signed up back in January I believe.  You could only post in certain ares until your member level reached a certain level.  Not a fan of a minimum post requirement as people will just post 50 garbage posts to get out.  

It was done away with for whatever reason.  Likely because it wasn't very successful. I would assume people would just make an account and wait until they were out before they would troll.  

I think the best thing to do is just report the posts and let the mods take care of it.
