before a user is allowed to post his first post on the fourm, he has to read through a screen that tells him that "if you have a question, make sure you try using the search button first before posting" or something like that. This screen will have a timer of say 30 seconds count down before a proceed button appears for the new user to post his first post. Oh, and mention the consequences of not searching first to scare people (such as ban)
Or better: everytime a new user wants to create a thread. A new user would be considered as someone who has been less than 10 days registered.
So, for 10 days, if a user wants to create a thread (of course, us who have been longer than 10 days will never get to see it), they're shown this screen.
