They should learn the way we did....I lurked for almost a full year before I joined up. By that time,I knew the "inside jokes",the code words,if you will,who made sense,who didn't,and the rules.
Now,people join and immediately post some damned banal,inane,moronic vanity to News/activism.
I can see your point. It'd probably be better to restrict posting for a month or two after registering, but FR seems to work this way too, largely because sincere Conservative friends are not punished in the process. We DO have the Viking Kitties at our disposal, and they DO do a good job. :) (Or have they slacked off?:) In any case, have a good night as I must get up early and go to my (pesky) job . :)
