What was it someone once said.
Block everybody, those who know how to use an unblock template are socks and
the rest aren't.

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!
