That's why I said, this isn't for now, this is for the future.

The worst fault of the newbies is that they post unnecessary threads, rather than using the already existing ones, but I seldom see a newcomer engage in such arguments...

Hopefully the ones who are interested in the Serious Discussion thread will not be the same type of person that will endlessly spam just to get there.
In any case, 1000 posts does seem a bit harsh as the majority has pretty much agreed. A better solution would be that a) The thread is moderated well and b) There is some sort of PM needing to be sent to be accepted - for example, just a heads up you are going to be active, active responsibly and a reason for wanting to post in Serious Discussion - much like being moving into a group or clan.
