And while many authors are the hit-and-run type, the 'annoying' posts are confined to a particular area that's easy to avoid. (I remember when it wasn't. Boy howdy.) And I don't want to scare away authors who could be helpful.

Yeah, post restrictions are the death knell of a forum because they scream "this is not an inclusive place". You're already aware that you're walking into a mine field of expectations and judgments and you're screwed no matter what you do. Few people want to sign up for that when there's a shiny Internet just outside the door.
I'm pretty sure MY first post was I HAZ A NOOK. CAN I ROUTE IT NAO?
