A new Auto-Mod setting, "New accounts must wait before posting (minutes)",
sits next to the new-account link rule. 0 (the default) turns it off; the
maximum is 10080 minutes (one week).
While an account is younger than that, the server refuses channel messages,
forum topics, attachments, thread replies, polls, scheduled messages and DMs
to other people. A DM with yourself is allowed. Admins and members at or above
the Auto-Mod exempt role level are not held back. If the check itself fails,
the post is refused rather than let through.
The refusal says how long is left, and the app puts the message (or the
forum post being written) back so nothing is lost.
