"New members look to the more established members" hahaha that made me chuckle. Sorry but, since when?
This is a forum, not a new job. Members don't need to be "shown the ropes". They come here expecting to have discussions and have questions answered, in which case they will post a new topic with said question which will be open to everyone and will get an answer. Do you people honestly believe that the new member will only look to higher posters for an answer? Do you think they will completely ignore an answer from another member who joined last week? No, they will have their answer and be happy. What’s more, I doubt there is anyone out there who actually bothers to look at post count and think to themselves "Gee, this guy must know his stuff." Get real.
Back on topic; I think the topic should just be locked to be honest. It's mainly spam from what I here. I've not really risked venturing in there but when I did once, there was about ten plus pages all posted on the same day. For a community of this size, that is not healthy.
