Originally posted by BRU_ce An old Concept Illusions kit thread may say, "wow.. hey this seems like a great deal guys." and everyone agreeing with it. Over time, people start realizing the kit is a piece of shit, and should be warned. Hence the importance of fresh knowledge.

This is where you are WRONG. Had you even bothered to "search" then you would know that the fresh knowlege you preach about like some overzealous crazed lunatic IS in all those threads. In fact it wasnt even 2 weeks ago that another n3wbie asked about it and the people with the "knowledge" told them to stay the fuck away. The new knowledge is there. You just have to have half a brain to be able to find it. Jesus.

Yeah, in this particular instance you're probably right. This might have been one of those threads that should have remained at 0. But I still don't see what the point would be in flaming.

I just got an idea, tell me what you think mods...

We should spend a little time expanding our "Things we've seen before" section (I would be willing to help with this) to try and attain a fairly comprehensive, and up-to-date basis of newb knowledge.

Once completed, force newbs to enter a 3 day probationary period in which they are only allowed to access the "Things We've Seen Before" forum and a forum specifically meant for newbs. They will be unable to post in the rest of the forum until their probationary period is up.

If after 3 days, a newb post is made in a normal forum, the post be immediately locked. After repeated offense, said newb would be placed on a second probationary period of 3 days. A third offense and they would be banned.

Here's the sweet part:

If a newb joins and decides he wants to forego the 3 day probationary period and jump right in, he is asked to donate $5 to 2GNT. He would be allowed instant access, with the same conditions as a newb who completed his 3 day probationary period.

I've seen this work pretty successfully in other forums, and it may just be exactly what we need. Thoughts?
