We have to welcome new members and make them feel comfortable...

But when you encounter a nasty newbie who does not care... just let the moderator know. We will ban that person so he/she can be nasty somewhere else...

The problem is not newbies or new users. The problem is nasty people, and they only show up as newbies because they get kicked out fast...

We are also installing a script that will restrict new users to "read only" for three days... to give them time to read and learn our ways...
