My point was that it;s easy to forget after years of posting on forums that 'not everyone has posted on a forum for 10 ****ing years." Again I will try to stress right now that i'm not saying this happens the majority of the time or even a lot, and of course everyone is human and says smartass stuff sometimes to stupid comments, but the mods should realize more than anyone how to handle a n00b in my opinion.

Okay, that's a reasonable suggestion. I'd like add my own two cents though. Being welcoming and helpful to new members is something that can be done by anyone, not just mods. If you see a new person inadvertently doing something wrong, you can point it out to them just as easily as we can. So please do so.
