Rosey, I see a "posting rules" box that says "you may post new threads, you may post replies", etc. Do you currently have those enabled for all users, or do you have some boundaries on it?

I kind of like the idea of having some limits on a person's ability to post. For example, if someone new joins bhuz it might be nice to have a rule where they can't post the first 48 hours they're a member but they can read. This would help control the problem of people who join solely for the purpose of saying hostile things on threads that have grown heated.

Dance.net has some rules around what newly-joined members can do. It has been a long time since I joined as a new member, so I don't remember the details, but it might be interesting to see what they've got and think about whether it should apply here.

What do others think?
