While I can see the point in this, it might be better to do the opposite. I'm not saying an admin-purge is in order, but that the veterans need to step in and say that XYZ is against the rules/NCF (as in both doing it as well as having the power to do it). The idea being that new members would be less put out than if an Admin came in bearing down upon them. If things turn south from there then we start to become more forceful. Just proposing an alternate point of view.

I think we also need to cut out the self-righteous tone in some of our messages when dealing with NCFness and people breaking the rules, it most often generates conflict with the person and tends to make them resentful to change their articles. I know it's an different subject, but it will cut down on the agro that often happens between us and new members, which means less work for us, and because we're lazy I think that's generally a good thing. :P
