That sounds like a good idea; I'm in favor of it, but it all depends on what Brandon thinks.
Another forum which I'm a member of does something similar. Once you register, you have limited access to only one of the forums (appropriately titled "Help for Newcomers" - which has its own mods) and then after 3 days they are given access to the rest of the forums. Two weeks sounds a bit long to me though, I would say only a couple of days at most.
