Changes to the board and for new Users

[Tarek Morgen]

In our neverending struggle against spam and bots we have introduced several new changes to WAB which will mostly affect the newest members. After finishing registration new users are welcome to browse the board and participate in the discussions, but several features will be locked until they reach 25 posts. Among them is the ability to create new threads on their own or use features like avatars and signatures. They will still be able to to answer already opened threads.

Also the Introduction and Information forum will be merged and instead of a a separate introduction thread for every new member, we'll use one big one for everyone.

The new All-in-One Introduction thread can be found here:

All old Introduction threads have been archived here:
