A VVulf works to limit Newbie spam...

[DerVVulfman]

This is apparently going to be a two-fold issue.

1) The requirement of the first post being within the Feedback and Occasions board is already noted, but that it cannot be a spammy, copy/pasted posting also needs to be addressed in both the 'Registration' form. The GUEST announcement currently reads: Remember that registered members can contact one another with our PM (Private Messaging) system. It is likely a good idea to have the non-spammy post requirements there too.

2) We have a section in the forum rules for "Member Account Responsibilities". A separate section may be required for 'fledgelings'. Or perhaps a separate paragraph within just to cover that whole 'spammy 1st post' will be removed' and will result in returning back to unregistered/newbie status. What could trump that, mind you, is if they post content of actual worth afterwards. This being a spammy first post in Occasions which activates him/her, followed by a detailed Upcoming Projects thread.
