Haha okay, April 1st was yesterday you guys can cut it out now
"Brand new players cannot create sell orders for commonly botted items"

Okay, how do you explain to a fresh incoming player that they can no longer sell their oak logs and trout?
@JagexAsh A major improvement to this that you can add - Brand New Players can trade items freely with eachother. Sell-locking a player for the first 20 hrs of a game would be misery.
I feel like literally any effective bot will either:

1. Survive > 20 ingame hours so these restrictions are actually meaningless.

2. Get banned on tutorial island.

Jagex doesn't seem to understand that these low level restrictions have no effect. Ex. Bounty Hunter.
My concern is with preventing another Bounty Hunter Bot fiasco. Level restrictions and timeouts have shown to simply shift the issue to a later date. Maybe this lag time adds to bot detection, but for the average player it may be cumbersome.
@JagexAsh, perhaps employing global sell limits that are double/triple that of buy limits would be effective as a counter-botting measure. To prevent bot material dumps, and item volume crash manipulation by wealthy players.
