Squeeks~ updated the front page of 4-ch. <3 Here is the post:

=========================================
"New here? Have a quick read...
18th January 2007

There has been in the past few months a lot posts happening from new, inexperienced users unfamiliar with the site and the way that boards operate. Whilst I encourage new users, I also encourage you all to read our rules, read any board specific rules at the top of each board, and to only post if it is going to be of benefit. So far, quite a few users haven't bothered doing this, and might now be wondering why they are getting trolled and flamed.

read the rules and also read through the wiki, please.

I think this is a good post, after all I have seen quite a lot of strange posts around here recently.

But on the other hand, I'm a fairly new user myself - having only discovered this place in the past few months. I'm confident in the fact that I did read the rules AND the wiki before I started posting. I wonder whether this will 'stem the tide' of strange posts so to speak, or will it just encourage more of them? I do like seeing the occasional newbie post, but too many is obviously not good.

What do you guys think? Is this a good or a bad post? What does it change for 4-ch? What does the future hold?

I rather like the post. I've been here for quite some time, and while I don't mind newbie posts - after all, we were all newbies at some point - all the "You are talking to yourself Anonymous!" and "WOW your id is 'Heaven'!" style posts are just annoying and offtopic and can be easily avoided. Remember: You're not only supposed to read the FAQ so you don't annoy other people, you're supposed to read the FAQ so you don't look stupid when posting.
