I don't have any problem with bona fide, committed FT newbies having access to OMNI from post one and day one.

But how do you identify them and single them out from the overwhelming, 24/7/365 onslaught that we get hit from by Spammers, Trolls and Search Engine Bots?

Our rather sophisticated software kicks them out of the system and into Mod Queue Limbo before 99.9% of FT'ers have to see their carnage.

Trust me the Spam and Troll attacks are ceaseless and persistent against FT and other similar websites and the 180/180 rules keeps the Barbarians At The Gate quite well nowadays.
