If I were to register in a FORUM to learn I could not create my own thread with my own thought for 30 days, I would leave.

That rule is over the top, though I do understand its premise and spammers should, as a rule, be shot on site.
And how will new users know that they can PM you for permission prior to the 30-day rule?
Dig through this forum and read every sentence?
Post it in your rules section.

Even if you created a program to spam a board in 30 days it really won't matter because you would also have to have 30 posts to start the spam thread. 30 days AND 30 posts.
