Nursery for New Members

I have no real way of telling, but my guess would be that it is not uncommon for people to be put off by filtering of any kind when there are places, like singletrackword, where they can sign up and post their crankset, two frames and headset in the cassifieds without having to wait for 48 hours or throw up a few arbitrary posts (let alone getting called a cunt and told to fuck off).

And 'guess' must be some sort of statistical term of which I was previously unaware.

I take the point, but how many forumengers are likely to be adversely affected, even if the new members are made aware of the system?
