This is a good idea, but I'm not sure if it will fully deter retards. With this system it's only a matter of time before new members can be full members. They don't have to earn it.
I was on another forum a while back, trials-forum.co.uk and they have a similar system in place. All new members get put into a pre-members forum, away from the main threads, where they can say what they like and start new threads etc.. Then every so often a moderator goes through the threads posted and picks out people to be validated based on punctuation, spelling, if the post is worth posting etc... Once validated they are full members.
Might be a bit of effort but it does work.
