A few days might help reduce spam in some way, but my experience is that the vast majority of useless posts are generated by people who've been around awhile. Don't you think so?
Useless posts, perhaps. (Zag, up there, is a shining example, calling me out for no reason)
Not at all. I'm merely pointing out that your logic is "All the bad posts are from short-term members". This isn't true. If you're more considerate of others, you wouldn't suggest something as outrageous as a month-long wait.
Useless threads, no. They're almost always made by new members that are asking stupid questions, or old users posting on alt accounts. Both problems would be solved by making them wait to post.
A month may seem extreme, but it won't deter any truly interested user, especially when they can still interact freely in the groups.
Most of the users on this forum, which if were gone this forum would get rather boring, aren't 'interested users'. Even most of us who started out here didn't expect to be as involved as we are now, myself included. They just want to talk about some stuff, and go. To them, a forum is just somewhere to share some ideas, for an hour or so. They don't want to wait a month, or even 2 days to post.
Whereas with others, they constantly hang out in groups and post on and off all day.
