There are many, many issues to address when it comes to n00bs and newbies. That is the purpose of this thread. What different issues are we talking here? Well, for starters, I think we should impose a limit on how many posts a person can have before they can be warned. I don't think many people read the community guidelines. I know I didn't when I came in.

That's where the People Staff comes in. If a newbie has committed an offense in a topic (chances are they probably won't know it), a person on People Staff can PM them the community guidelines. After reading them over, the newbie can PM the staff member back and not only feel welcome in cB, but also establish rapport with a well-known member.

Another issue is the way newbies are treated. To be quite blunt, many cBers can be extremely rude to new people, especially if they unknowingly do something wrong. We need to clearly point out that mistreatment of newbies will NOT be tolerated, and that anyone who does mistreat newbies will be warned.

Anymore?
