Re: Sand Box Area for New Guppies
I'm fairly new to this forum, but have actively participated (and continue to participate) in many others.
I think a "sandbox" would be a great idea for GS. Primarily to discourage spammers and shameless self-promoters. I've opened countless threads where a guppie asks about a particular vendor and a couple months later a completely new user posts a hyperbolic review. It's obviously not genuine and can be terribly misleading for unsuspecting users.
From what I have witnessed, the heart of GS is a couple dozen serious members who keep the momentum going on the forum. It makes sense to weed out those who aren't valuable contributors.
On the other hand this would significantly decrease site traffic. Tough call for forum admin.
