There are some posts which are valid posts, but where the original poster will likely not come back to the board after receiving an answer. If they must post in other threads to reach a post count before able to start their own thread, then they will not post at all, or become more interested and possibly more involved. If a goal is to discourage people from wandering away, then maybe the way to handle is to have a feature to allow a newbie to start a thread, but it must be approved by mods before it is visible. Or, if voted as "yes" by at least 3 regular members, it becomes visible, and voted "no" by at least 3 regular members, it remains invisible.
