To be fair (though matters may have gone wrong here) newbies also need saving from well-intentioned advice to start their time on WP, not logged in, adding comments on American political topics that are divisive and concerning divisiveness. The deep end.
Yes, such advice to take things easy at first would be part of the policies of the RSPCN (with it's US branch of SPCN of course). Those who slide easily into the Wikipedia culture tend to be those who start by writing NPOV articles about fluffy kittens rather than those jumping in to the more... ummm... /active/ areas of the 'pedia.
