I think the biggest mistake newbies make is that they have a “mr. know it all” attitude.
Some also like to post vanities where they are lecturing people.
If the new ones could add some humility to their first posts, it would go a long long way to solving the “hostility” problem.
I think you should have to be here for at least six months or a year before you can post a vanity. Newbies tend to do more vanities then a lot of us.
New policy would be nice.
Sometimes what you say is true, but I can tell you I lurked for a long time because I’d seen the “welcome” that people got here.

Maybe part of the welcome wagon could include a primer on proper newby etiquette?
