I'm not really one to police the forum, but there does seem to be a lot of "quantity over quality" threads here these days and the vast majority of them to be started by newcomers. I think a waiting period on this forum wouldn't hurt, so new members can get into the flow of CP before to see how things tend to run around here. So many join and just blow their load in the first few days/weeks, and then get (usually rightfully) piled on.
I wouldn't mind something like this:
New members: Allowed to make up to 5 posts a day in existing threads.
1 month on forum: Allowed to start a new thread.
1 year (and meet certain post count) on forum: Allowed to make a poll.
5 years: Allowed to call mods CDC-paste eating trolls.
