If a goal is to discourage people from wandering away, then maybe the way to handle is to have a feature to allow a newbie to start a thread, but it must be approved by mods before it is visible. Or, if voted as "yes" by at least 3 regular members, it becomes visible, and voted "no" by at least 3 regular members, it remains invisible.

How will the regulars be able to view it?
