There apparently isn't a feature to do that as far as I know, else the Admin would've done it already.... At least I hope he would have. :sweat:

wow you reply fast. are you here 24/7 or sth haha :hehe:
hmm i suggest for the title to be changed to "READ THIS BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD" then. I think "posting guidelines" is not strong enough to catch the attention of newbies to this forum :hehe: haha hopefully this will lighten the workload of you moderators
I think he is some sort of computer AI program running on the server. :hehe: :P
What I'd love is either something like you have to visit the guidelines thread before posting or a posting count limit before creating new threads. It doesn't have to be high, 5 is enough, but it should clean up 98% of the crap.

Well there's more to the guidelines than just starting new threads: stuff about content, signatures, avatars, etc... "Posting Guidelines" is more generic and all-encompassing.
Having a bold font or blinking would be cool, but again, it's up to the Admin... :sweat:
