Firstly is that actually true? I feel like I've seen any number of interesting posts from brand new accounts.

Secondly, if you have "spent weeks building" something it will not kill you to wait for five days to tell us about it.

Nothing springs to mind that is that important that:

• It can't wait a week or two

• Would be of no interest to conventional news organisations

What specifically did you have in mind?

Because at the end of the day, without clarification, this sounds a lot like "Spammer would like to know how avoid the spam filtering please."
