Its like expecting a primary child to be able to write an A level standard essay on "War and Peace" with out instrustion or guidance... it ain't gonna happen... Offer the child guidance and the results may be surprising.
But they need ADVICE and GUIDANCE not supersilious wrist slapping and humiliation!

Moderators are tolerant of new members, and do not issue official warnings to them immediately. We allow them time to settle in, during which if they slip up, we remind them of the rules in a friendly PM. And you're right, the result is good - they respect the rules and their knowledge of them is reinforced. Cyber-Slig has been here for about a month, and I'd say he's adapted extraordinarily well to the sudden enforcement of rules, especially given his age. I don't anticipate him needing any warnings any time soon.
