Is this forum going downhill, due to numpty newbies?

Just to reiterate:

Regarding your question about things that could be done to quell the tide of obnoxiously self-obsessed and yet paradoxically vacuous drivel that's suffusing things at the moment, how about capping the daily post rate. Even if it was fairly generous e.g. 25 posts per day max, I could see it pushing the quality vs quantity swingometer back in the right direction.
