That was exactly the one that got me thinking abot this today as well. Thanks of the sanity check.

@Ward - that is exactly why I suggest targeting the anonymous / first time users. I always try to get a feel for a new community before I join in. Requiring at least a minimum amount of familiarity doesn't seem too extreme to me. Frankly I think all of the stack exchange sites would benefit from a policy like this.

Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't this the exact reason to have the required five count to close / migrate questions? Shouldn't the community at large dictate how much these wider questions really apply to systems administration?
