After reading some of this thread, i see the need to stop certain members flaming new people straight away, but banning for banter seems a bad thing.
How about making an actual 'Nursery' forum for new members to ask all the silly question we all probably asked when joining, those who enjoyed helping could go their to answer their questions and everyone else could ignore it.
If anyone was seriously rude there they could be banned from this sub-forum only.
