Thread: enough already

So what if newbies ask basic questions and don't pay attention to the posts and just ask anyway and don't say thank you! Think of them as children and potentially accomplished SQ3R's one day. I committed the offense of posting a question of the sort you rail against, but I just did it out of enthusiasm and because I haven't had a chance to assimilate the bewildering maze here (or memorize abbreviations).

From the programming perspective it would be very easy to use some extra PHP to display some text for users that have under a certain number of posts...right above the wysiwyg editor while creating a new topic.

The text should call the users attention to the stickied posts and FAQ and emphasize that if the topic they are trying to create is a question that can possibly be answered by FAQ, stickies or search they need to check first.

Should be really easy to do in vbulletin. Could do this for all new posts as well.

[Edit] Should note it's probably impossible to shut all of these types of posts down and I'm not sure terrorizing us noobs works well either but with a modification like above and things like the FAQ someone mentioned it should be possible to cut these posts down to a minimum.
