Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
We do not close the board to all but "experienced" users. However, useless suggestions are just that...useless. When people throw out random ideas that would be impossible to change anything, it does not help...it clutters.
Then, why are people told to not post in New Ports threads. I see people trying to offer help, and they offer their own, plausible ideas. Rather than being flexible and able to experiment, the Rockbox developers and mods simply get angry again and block that person.
Another thing: refer to this post, http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=14034, in which an honest person asked for help. Now, it did not belong on the Rockbox forums; however, instead of being politely told where he could get help or where he could post it, he was told "Please respect our guidelines." How does that help him? IT DOESN'T! NOT ONE BIT!
If you're interested, read those links, find people who are interested, gather information about a new port and then start a new thread.
My goal is to prove that, unlike first shone, average users can be helpful if they are given a chance to contribute, yet they are not given this opportunity in the New Ports thread.
Also, I'm trying to show how the current rules are being abused by the mods as an excuse to correct everyone who doesn't meet their standards.
