Scott, I'm really thinking this need to be done:

After some one registers for an account, they should have to read forum rules and regulations before they can make a new thread or even post. Maybe even have to pass some sort of basic test on it. Day after day I see people asking questions before searching, about compounds, items, quests, anything at all. It's not a world-ending problem, but as a site gets bigger, the problem become bigger and starts hogging memory. Even if there's a lot of it to go around, a forum with this sort of requirement would be great. Or even just a reminder at the new thread screen might help a bit.
I'm not even the one giving out links to such people most of the time and it still annoys me <.< Takes up space on the home page threads too.
*Note: The test could probably be flash based. If I dust off my action scripting books I'd be willing to start working on one in Flash CS3.
