1. Post a question as a new user
2. It goes into Staging Grounds instead of the main site, so there's no way to get an answer
3. Watch as a handful of powerusers flag it and demand changes, with a combination of user-written and automated comments
4. Make some of the recommended changes
5. It gets closed anyway and never makes it to the main site
To me it seems like a forum that effectively sanctions the bullying of new users. I'd like to see Staging Grounds success statistics.
