Me thinks it's time to revisit the 'maybe only people who have X number of posts will be allowed to start new threads' conversation...
But some people sign up and have something really important to say

Most of the time that really important thing been posted 10 times already and there is a stickied 30 page long discussion right above the new thread they are making but hey it is important
Plus then we will have people posting 1 word answers and crap in threads just to get their post count up to the limit to start making their own threads with 1 word and crap

And of course it gives the moderators something to do
