Hi,
is it an idea to open a sort of Welcome Forum, where you have to introduce yourself first, before allowed by the mods to post in any other topic/forum?
We use this policy at Subaru Club and it works very well.
For instance, it keeps out members who are posting like 100 posts within the hour after registering just for info on one special visit and not being an active member for the rest.
Welcome forum?

With all the respect for the judgement in selection I know the Scramble team has, I personally don't think this is a good idea.
I have always thought of this board as being one of the more open ones on the net with regard to the hospitality towards new members.
Without excluding them before they even have a chance on this MB, they are given the opportunity to prove themselves worthy members of the Scramble community. Misfits are treated with in a proper manner as far as I know, without causing much of a fuss to the rest of the members. The An-225 topic in 't Praethuys being a good example of how possible 'trolls' and the likes are treated; in a lenient, but when necesarry, strict way.
Excluding people beforehand is, to me, not the 'Scramble way'.
Kind regards,
Ard
