But new members don't even have gold, so then people who make new accounts to ask questions won't even be able to do that. Most of the time, they don't even stick around long enough to start gathering gold in the first place.

It doesn't have to be gold. I was thinking some form indirect restriction which the average person will never hit.

I don't think I've ever seen any ONE person make more than 2 threads in a day within the questions/help section. Occasionally there's that one spammy person that arrives. I remember one guy (not Spat) that posted several new threads within minutes/hours of each other, asking similar questions in 3-4 different ways.

Edit:
Just an idea, but yeah seems like people (myself included) are making it more of a big deal than it should be.

When stuff like that happens that's what the report button and moderators are here for. There's no need to put in weird limits.

I guess. This is kind of based of my experience with the report button. I didn't get feedback until 1-2 months after I made the report and was like "WUT?". Mods are volunteers and all, they may or may not have lives.

Mods are much faster now that Aki did some house cleaning and added another staff member and more are jumping back into action.

All Hail Aki :>, request to close thread. (What ever happened to the option to close your own thread?)
