Many issues can be solved by simply restricting new members from starting a thread.

I originally proposed it to help the mods to make it harder for trolls get new ids or spammers selling the product to use FT, but it can also help newbies get familiar with FT before starting new topics.

Locking out newbies from starting threads has downsides too. And newbies starting airline-related threads in other than the AA forum seems to have less "issue" than in the AA forum.
