i said this for a long time, but clearly nobody really cares. other vBulletin based web forums have it set up so that you cannot view/post anywhere else in the forum unless your first post is in the forums introduction section. Another has it setup so that in order to post in ANY classifieds section you must be a member for 30 days and have 50 LEGITIMATE posts.(evolutionm.net)
just an idea for the admin people :thumbup
