Actually, this is a great idea and would be a great addition to the current forum.
Possibly with an option, that a user who never posted before would get a popup or something and that they have indeed read the help thread and clicked accept (or I have read the faq), before they are allowed to post. Would also be another way to add another hoop for spammers to jump through.
Lincoln, Todd, Tim - Is this something you guys have already programmed.
If not, I might try to write a plugin for users to download for their own forums.
Although, if someone sponsored x00 - I'm sure it would be a much nicer plugin.I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

Add up the CountDiscussions and the CountComments in the User table for the the user id in question. If less than 1 incorporate a link to help thread.
