The thing is these are not 5 year olds visiting the site. They are usually around 20 years old. They should have enough common sense and intelligence to SEARCH and READ first. Perhaps even do a little troubleshooting themselves first.
This is an assumption on ages. I can tell you from personal experience, that this is an entire population/breed of people of all ages/race/sex...ect.
And no matter what you do, they will always be there.

the newbie area should be like being in town in UO. safe. step outside of town, into General or the other sections, and flames may happen.
I agree with this. There has to be a safe place for people to ask questions.
But also, I really hate to see this entire forum turn into a flame-fest when someone does something wrong/stupid.
If they repeatedly do it, that's another story.
