[WikiEN-l] Newbies who don't act the way you want them to

[Daniel R. Tobias]

Exactly how are newbies *supposed* to act?  If they come in all 
clueless, blundering around ineptly, they're likely to get bitten, 
especially if something they say or do in the course of their random 
flailing is (mis)interpreted as a personal attack or legal threat, 
getting them into a spiral towards indef banning they have no easy 
way of averting given their lack of knowledge of all the arcane rules 
and procedures that get tossed at them.

On the other hand, if they act like they know what they're doing, and 
actually get through any of the convoluted procedural stuff 
correctly, that proves they're a sockpuppet.  Ban them!
