Throw in me in for 'Newbie Central' or/and possibly 'Introduce Yourself' please roast.
If I were mod of the Newbie Central or IY I would help the site keep accounts by not allowing older, jaded or angry senior members scare away new members. I get that a little hazing (no pun) is standard for new members, but I've seen a few people quit RIU simply cause a senior felt like flexing their superior brain power in whatever subject OP is asking about, in a nasty way.
I would try keep things civil and mutually respectful without steeping on anyones toes, while enforcing the TOU if I had to.
As for my knowledge on the subject, I am like the Uber Noob. I've a stack a books that I've read at least twice. I keep in the industry by buying all the MJ mags. I know a bit of weed history. And most importantly I have the patience to answer the same questions over and over and over again.
