I am glad to see the new user welcome posts in that forum do not count against your post count. First thing upon seeing it thought of was all the abuse we would get from people posting 'Hi' to everyone that joined at least this way we will cut that out and keep the 'I am new here' riff-raff out of the lounge :)

Yup is a good thing the post count is disabled in the New Users forum, I could just see the abuse. :eek2:

Seems to be pretty active new forum. :)

That's a good thing. :agree:

I think it makes the welcomes more sincere when they're not tied to post count. :wht:

Perhaps they disabled certain types of BBCode to prevent spam, however I am not sure how the quote function could be used for spam.

I vote for a sticky of "welcome to WHT", and in there, saying "please read the rules located: here"
