That strikes me as hubris, or at least unduly complacent. The complaint forums are already much quieter than they used to be. Issues that would have once have provoked well-articulated responses from a wide range of members can now pass almost without comment. General expectations for casino behaviour are much lower now than they were only a year or two ago.
I'm not sure what can be done about any of that, but this current idea seems like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. It'll avoid some annoying posters (though they're not just first-timers!), but everyone's new once, and if this measure discourages even a few posters who would have gone on to be regulars, it'll have had a negative effect.
As mentioned, perhaps restricting new posters from starting threads but allowing them to post in existing ones would be a better half-way house.
