I suggest we lean on Chris to help come up with a FAQ we can post here.
there *will* be an influx of new people ... they're not all going to be stockhouse scum.
many will be stockhouse refugees ... let's not instantly treat them like dirt, hmmm?
consider adopting a three-strikes (3-days?) type of rule.
if a brand-new persona shows up complete with bashing or nonsensical undertones, 3 days at the most should be long enough to expose any ulterior motives.
they'll either become better educated, and begin contributing to the community, or have exposed themselves for what they are, in order to earn a proper thrashing.
something to consider.
