I know I've expressed the rather unpopular opinion that only people who joined before '09 should be allowed on the forums, but let's think about this mathematically: In the following proof, X is equal to the year 2 years before the current one:
before X = pro pro = non-noob non-noob = should be allowed on forums >so we arrive at this: before X = pro = non-noob = should be allowed on forums >so those who joined before X should be allowed on the forums
On the other hand: after X = noob noob = annoying annoying = should not have access to forums >so we arrive at this: after X = noob = annoying = should not be allowed on forums >so the people who joined after X shouldn't be allowed to post.
Based on this conceptual analysis, I think there should be a 2-year restriction on being allowed to post on the forums, This means that you would have had to be a member for at least 2 years before you are allowed to post. |

No, some people who join are awesome and deserve to go on forums in one day, like VirtualDarks could be banned and create an alt and have to wait two years to post one thing so no, just no.
~Slmnemo, Pwning you're content~

| I see what you mean, but if someone was permbanned and had to make an alt then they should also be punished by not being able to go on the forums. |

| Plus, there's a financial side to it. You could give users the option to pay to shorten or alleviate altogether the 2-year restriction. In addtition, fewer posters = fewer posts = less server space taken up = less money used on server maintenance. From both of the financial angles, the ROBLOX site devs should absolutely implement this. |

| I think alts that have the same IP address with another account should be banned. |

| @Kyle: Absolutely. I hadn't even thought of that, but that is the simplest, most direct, and most cost-effective solution to the problem of alts. |

| Horrible idea. Not everyone who joins Roblox is an immature person who spams right out. They may contribute very quickly as it is not hard to learn about the forums and what/where to post. |

| You're right, but the vast majority of them aren't noobs. The vast majority of anyone who joined after '09 are noobs, so while a few people might lose out, the majority of the rroblox community benefits greatly. |

| Why not ban everyone and get rid of forums. This is a bad idea because some people actually paid real money to be here. A better idea might be an age limited set of forums so that your with your peers. |

You're the 'noob' here.
You can't just call everyone who hasn't played a 'noob'
I've got over 15,000 forum posts. I've been on this forum a long time, and I guarantee you that if anyone here is a 'noob', it's you. Acceptance is the first step to a good community. |

Wow, that's an epic fail, you're judging people's intelligence and annoyingness on the date when they joined. Seriously, new users should be able to give their opinion, as well. Not all of them are noobs, even considering the term noob to be a new person. They might be banned for a day, or just being on their alt, as well as being a new user that's actually better at the game, and more intelligent than most of the ROBLOXian species, and we really need those on the forums, considering that we're here to help people with scripts, buildings, other ROBLOX related things, and giving suggestions and ideas to the ROBLOX staff, so they get good ideas for what they should update, rather than that they have to think of it all themselves.
Inb4tl;dr: No. Epic fail. |

No, not everyone who joined less than 2 years ago is a noob.

| No. What if someone used to have an account, but wanted to start all over again and make a new one, or if someone's account was hacked? They'd have to wait another 2 years. |
