Hi!@ronv
I concur with the points of your proposal but with one major exception -- Let's not relegate newcomers to 'second class citizenship'! --- 'Early days' on this site does not equate to 'childhood'! -- As a newcomer, I would have found said policy all of presumptive, condescending and straight up offensive! --- Moreover, it smacks of 'clubism' -- the 'pledges' deserve better than that!
Again, it 'sounds like a plan' otherwise!
Best regards

I'm not sure if you saw the part that says it gets kicked to a moderator only if a new member ignores the warning, checks the box and posts to an old thread. It's the only way I can think of to keep the Fuji elevator guy that started this whole flap from posting. I think this is often a language barrier, but who knows.
