the problem with the "Trouble makers" is there is very little that we as members can do, especially when they dont post.

The worst they can do is be bloody annoying..ie Bump Old Threads

The trouble makers we refer to ARE NOT NEW MEMBERS, rather Former members who have been banned and come back with an Axe to grind.. because of a problem with a group of members, moderators, or the Adminerstrators .. who ever.. but in their anger they make life uncomfortable for all others,.

And why bumping is bad.. some times old flame threads resurface, restarting old arguments .. arguments that have long since been forgotten, or resolved.. but in resurfacing they are given new opertunity to damage relationships on this board, not the original relationships but some of the newer ones. For the technical stuff, bringing up old threads can potentially bring errent information to the fore, out of date information no longer useful or could be counter productive..
How many people ever bother to check to see if the date is flashing (some cant because of browser or proxy setting).. so it isnt long for people who are not aware to be active in a defunct thread discussing a topic that is no longer relivent.

So it isnt that Newbies are disliked, it is there is no way of telling ID-10-T former members from the good newbies.. As members we cant do a thing untill they post, and then only if they post crap.. AP's for what is posted not who is posting..
