Some tips for New Scratchers who have already downloaded Scratch.

        They can't edit or delete their own posts.
        They can't post at all in in the Miscellaneous forum.
        They can't post images
        They can't post clickable links unless they are to pages on the Scratch Website
        They chan't have the 360 second posting rule, rather than the 60 second          posting rule that Scratchers have.

Commercial spammers like to use signatures for their activities, because signatures cannot be flagged as inappropriate, and are not marked as "new" when they are updated. It's very hard for the Community Moderators and the Scratch team to find & delete inappropriate signatures.
