Newbies will go to newbie forum. What better place to recruit newbies? Maybe if they are instantly recruited, they won't quit the game so easily. The game is very slow going when you're a beginner. If the beginners have alliances or COs to help them, then they wouldn't succumb to boredom.

They're also likely to look at the whole forum the first couple of times they visit - and therefore will see the recruitment section - so, no.
The Newbie section is for new people to introduce themselves and to look for answers/ask questions about the game, not for pitching recruitment.

for the noobs. not for the forums. if the forums get confused just so i can help a noob, then so be it. i could have used that same help a month ago. there just isn't any facility for new sign-ups to go to where they can seek help in-game. the only place they can go to is the newbie forum. why give them a hard time looking? if we could pick up a few noobs to help now and then, the new accounts inactive rate will drop.

I agree with Wolf359.
If you see a newbie in the newbie forum that you simply have to recruit then there's always the option of sending them a PM and sounding them out that way. Allowing 'recruitment' on the forum itself, however, will just clutter it up and lead to genuine help becoming less accessible.
