This has been discussed before, and has been decided against because some new users have valuable contributions to make, and it would be stupid to make them wait (and maybe even spam) just to share their ideas.
May I have links to the discussion?
In response, like I said, this solution isn't perfect. However, I think that it is quite right to assume that it is more likely to get a member who posts a bunch of new topics as soon as they learn how then to get a member who will post valuable information. And in the case that there is a member like that, it will be very obvious on whether or not they are worthy by the posts they make in already created threads.
So this is a filter instead of a wall. Yes they must wait. But depending on how long, it really won't be that big of a time and if the person doesn't have that much patience then they probably will make tons of threads once they do get rights.
Also, that is another bug, they can still spam.
