Hello fellow Freedom family members
I was wondering if there would be any way to restrict or limit access to the chat for new members to the forum, as recently I find myself telling people that have just joined not to promote themselves or post links to their channels in the forum chat. I know my suggestion may sound a bit harsh, but I personally feel that so many new members come onto the forum, and even before they check out the rules they just go ahead and link their channels in the chat and on other peoples thread in a bid to get noticed.
Another suggestion that might be easier to do is to make every new member to the forum to read the rules, I'm not necessarily talking about a quick tick box to say they have read it but maybe a quick questionnaire that they have to complete when they join that tests their knowledge of the general Freedom rules.
On a side note I do want to say I realise that not every new person is guilty of this but I can only base it off what I have seen in the last few weeks.
