New users usually _don’t search at all_ and post a new topic even though one suitable for their purposes already exists. The lazy path is to not search and just create yet another duplicate topic. So while I can see this setting would be useful in some narrow circumstances I am not really convinced it’s a good idea in general as it blocks and suppresses some behaviors you actually _want_ new users to engage in – **search before creating a new topic**. We typically block new topic creation on sites, e.g. require TL1 to create a new topic, that’s already possible. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disallow-first-time-poster-with-trust-level-0-to-bump-up-old-topics/19384)._
