I was thinking... in order to ensure that the newbies to the site "no the rules", etc. why not send them to one of the Newbie FAQs or to a page listing many of the Newbie FAQs written for the site? That way, they know that the FAQs are there and no where to start looking for information before asking a repetative question. All it would really take is to redirect them to that page once they register a new account, and they can look it over before moving back to the main page. Just a thought, though.
