You think we'd actually read the submissions before approving? hehe.. j/k.

I think most regulars have to come to understand how to glance over the newbie posts (as opposed to opening and replying to every post). I rarely even see the word 'newbie' anymore simply because I'm not opening every thread - unless someone IM's it to me and laughs about something. I'm sure Tom doesn't mind the added posting - afterall, it should be more advertising revenue earned for him. So all in all, if the regulars would simply get to the point where they are master skimmers, the world would be a better place. I hate having to check my email and activate my forum account before I can post, so I can only imagine what it'd be like to be sat in front of a monitor and forced to read certain threads or FAQs - I'd close my browser and look elsewhere; although, if it is implemented, we might as well throw in quizzes about the content...
