Dear Santa,

This year for June 1, I would really like a 1 day cooling down period for the eqemu message board. Basically when someone signs up for an account, they can not post for 24 hours, and are required to click on all of the tutorial links in that secion of the message board. I ask for these things for a couple of reasons:

1) Duplicated topics for questions already answered in a plethora of other posts go way down. This also prevents search from becoming gummed up with worthless posts.
2) Noobs who would have found the answer by READING CAREFULLY instead of skimming those said tutorials will post less.
3) World builders such as wize_one, who have done a tremendous amount of work to get working live-like mobs into the game will not be harassed by said noobs, even after the correct answer was given but skimmed over instead of READ CAREFULLY.
4) Messageboard-wide peace and goodwill, as topics like this would be snuffed out before given a chance to rise.

If this is not possible, aces over kings will suffice.

Thanks,

Little Johnnie
