This is not what you can correct because some newbies are just newbies. Some will start not good, but later see how good and reputed posters are posting, with the more experience the newbies gain, their posting quality will increase. The problem that we have is that we do not have child boards, if we have child boards like off-topic, it would have been better. Instead of complaining, the posts complained about would have been moved to off-topic board where they belong.
Well OP @charis-Tim I strongly agree with that suggestion, but can it be created? Because from what you are saying most newborns like my self are finding it hard to post anywhere, because in some forums I have visited they have such broad call child broad also I am sure this broad should have great effect on the newborns to have ideas on how the forums operates most newborns find it hard to tell for there right to there left on the forums
