The thing is, you assume everyone who is new here has nothing worthwhile to say. New users don't only come from reddit when reddit behaves in a way its users don't like. They might stumble upon hubski another way. And global has been far from useless. I have found many thing that are not new user or reddit related there.

It's not an inherently bad idea, but it has its problems.. And having a feature that make new users invisible to old ones will have an effect on the new users experience. They won't get to interact with those who have ignored all new users - even if they have something worthwhile to say.
