In an effort to combat the recent spam problems, we have implemented posting restrictions on new accounts. Starting 12/03/2007 the following probationary period has been put into place on new accounts:

Signup - 24 hours: Read Only status on public boards
24 hours - 1 week: 2 threads and 10 posts per day (public boards only)
1 week - 2 weeks: 10 threads and 20 posts per day (public boards only)

We want to extend a thank you to all of those who posted their thoughts regarding the spamming problems on both the Site Support and Site Suggestions boards. Hopefully these new restrictions will help to stop the flow of spam that's been appearing on the boards recently.
