Some sort of backwards clique
so that new people are allowed to post pretty much instantly, but that people who are likely to post "OMG FAIL" or "You'd better look out because everyone is about to flame you" (unless the new people just aren't getting the point) don't actually see them.

That way newbies would only be seen by nice supportive people for the first week/month/whatever and the only real way for people to join this "clique" is to just be nice to people.

im all for this
because we have had newbies get FP's

but that is just a tiny fraction of the trolls we normally get...

...yes i believe that we shouldn't flame them (and its fun sometimes when you know its a massive fail)

however, these people are given a week to see how the board works and what to do and not to do...

that combined with an (albeit slightly vague) FAQ there shouldnt be a problem

why not just get rid of the L-plates, they just mark people out for flaming
especially on /talk

or, OR, just give them a fixed sig that say "Do not flame the noob"

or just remove the signup page, that'd fix everything

If they are foolhardy enough to enter /talk they should be flamed for their own good

How about
An option of 'hide learner-plate posts'.

That way, all those people who get all huffy when their posts get pushed down can choose to (temporarily) ignore learners without getting a massive list.

If a post actually is epic fail, I see no problem flaming it.
