    New forum members.

    Can we limit new forum members to "Info Center" section, and in the "Game Forums" section limit them to "Getting started", "Technical Support", and "Bug Report Forum"?

    At least until 5 posts, maybe 10?

    everyone's entitled to have an opinion

    Only problem is people creating new game accounts just to keep trolling. I'd restrict posting to players with less than...an hour of playtime

    OK, playtime works too, or a combination of the 2.

    The problem with playtime is that if a player has a problem from in-game and genuinely wants some help, they shouldn't be forced to play on their bugged game for however long just so they can post with some questions.

    Though this problem can be rectified, as already suggested, by limiting new users without x amount of playtime to a few forums aimed at tech support, newer players, and bugs rather than the competitive, general discussion, and other sections.

    idk, kinda funny calling them out when you find them.

    If it was done - playtime could exclude them from all but Tech Support I guess.
