I have been super hesitant to post on CD just because of getting red dots or opposition from the popular big named people on here. This has led to me reading thread after thread and wanting to post something, but not doing it out of fear someone won't agree and penalize me for my opinion/thought. If there was a warning method for the rookies first few posts or some other method than redding right away, it may attract a bigger variety of people to start putting their thoughts out there. I remember seeing the thread on getting rid of rep point system - but I think all we need is to find a way to have a smooth transition for first time posters.
In addition ( don't make websites so I don't know if this is possible) how about a way to keep people from posting on a thread until they read every single page. I don't appreciate people that obviously don't read entire threads before posting their comment/question as it may have been brought up already.
Just a couple thoughts from a novice poster
