Hi guys,

There have been some threads made about the amount of new members to the board, and the fact that AR seems to be catering more to answering new members simple questions than discussing more advanced bb'ing/powerlifting issues.

Maybe the mods can give new members posting rights to SOME of the board when they join, like the educational forums and maybe the steroid questions forum, and just read access to the rest of the site. After x amount of days they are allowed to post on all parts of the board? Perhaps along with the welcome PM new members recieve there should be a section explaining the search function and how to use it most effectively (this may already be a part of that PM but I'm not sure)

I'm not sure if this is possible with Vbulletin software, being an IT dude myself I know this would require a bit of creative SQL scripting within vbulletin, and may not be possible.

I think this may help new members find information quickly and also lessen the load on the rest of the group so we don't continually have to answer questions that can easily be found in a search.

I hope a few of the mods see this and discuss it, and see if it's possible and feasible to do this.

Thanks
