As for this topic, of which many opinions have been voiced, I'm all for some active moderation of new posts- the post should be deleted to avoid clutter, and a friendly PM sent informing them of forum guidelines (b/c they were obviously inept enough to not read them) and pointing to the wikisticki. A generic message would do. This would require active moderation, but I'm sure there would be many volunteers- self included.
I completely agree. Troll-food should be stopped immediately. If topics don't meet a necessary minimum of quality, they should be closed with a small (and friendly!) mention of why they are closed. This is what happens on the more established forums too.
