I know, I'm just saying one issue that might, hypothetically, develop. But everyone has been very nice and the point of wishing to block users is in no way mean spirited so you are right in that it has been contradicted.

Still, seeing posts such as wanting to blanket ignore all new users for seven days is something that does make new users feel unwelcome and while the thread in no way is unwelcoming or bad I can see where the people who are lashing out against it are coming from.

It is probably not a rational place but rather an emotional one however.
