I have noticed that lately there have been quite a few brand new members who join, and make their first post a request for free gear. It is starting to be a problem, and it doesn't look good for the forum when on every "new posts" search there are a few of these new member "donation requests." I'm not questioning the need, but it could be done in a way that makes it more palatable for the community. Also, it seems like it may be breeding more of the same behavior, and this will certainly turn this into a beggars forum.
In the forum rules it says that "begging" should be in the "shameless self promotion" section, but where is that?
Is there a way to place a probation on new accounts so that they can't post for handouts until they have been a member for a given amount of time, or a number of posts?
