Voted No, explained why a couple of times.

I would better limit total number of posts to the total rate of the Feedback
Profile!

This way SylvainLS wouldn't be able to post anymore hee hee

Deviously clever

But you'd soon miss him and want the policy reversed along with many others

I suggest that a feedback rating of 1 or higher be required to post in the forums,
or new accounts could be prevented from creating a new thread for 30 days.

Sounds like solid and simple solution, except for as others have mentioned; the
whole newbie needing help, factor.

Spam has never really bothered me here in the forum, you just kinda roll past
it. But it would be a good thing to keep it away. How about restricting the ability
to use links within posts for zero feedback members, or something along those
lines?

Voted No. I'd rather deal with a little spam than not help new users with
questions. Bricklink is not the easiest site to use, especially if you're
new.

  Gummie posts barely hit my radar. I do see them sometimes. I go right by.

Yes. Just report and they quickly vanish if you auto hide cancelled posts. People
that feel the need to reply to them are a bigger problem, so they get added to
the ignore list.
