I'm not sure what your evidence is that "none of the sections except Seekers Of Perl Wisdom is meant for new members". To me, all sections are for all. I don't think, for example, that you should have been prevented from posting in PMD. I disagree with you, but if the gods see it your way, fair enough.

Nor do I see a huge amount of work involved in moving posts before approving (something I've done often enough) or in considering & voting on those that have carelessly been approved in the wrong area (I suspect I've been guilty of this carelessness, but I can't recall any specific cases). If the janitors think it is too much work too often, I hereby volunteer to help out. I'd prefer to do more work myself than have more restrictions on anonymonks.

I don't know how much work would be involved as I'm not a pmdev (insufficient skill to volunteer for this), but another possibility might be to make the default for anonymonks to be SOPW, even if they have started from somewhere else. In other words, while they would be able to change the default, they would have to take positive action rather than just clicking on the first link they find.

In summary, no but ++ (feels like 0 but true).

Regards,

John Davies
