This runs counter to your assertion that it was a four year oversite, the quoted post was posted by a member of the WebFlyer staff.

I know that I will take it much easier and repeat easy to find info to a newbie with a low post count.

I'd be curious to see if there could be a "score" in place of post count on the profile section of each post. The score could be a set algorithm of length of time registered, number of posts, number of threads started, referrals, suspensions, etc. A newbie would have a low score that would grow as they participate and time goes by without any suspensions.

(then again all the traffic generated by this and the Revolution thread might make up for the decline in traffic)
