This will give them ample time to figure out the posting process if totally nbew to forums, or give them time to find what they need and look through it before posting something that may be covered in previous posts.
It is a easy setup and not that hard on the Admins, Maybe setup a forum with two subs in it,
Newbie Forum - Main
Introductions - Sub
Q&A - Sub
Give rights to those posts until the posts count is over a certain number...

That sounds good to me. If you wanna check out an example DSMtuners.com is the website i was talking about.
And yes limit posting to the noobs forum but still allow them access to search and read in the various tech forums. That way they can still learn a few things. And like you said as they receive a certain number of posts gradually allow them into some of the tech and various forums.
But take this into consideration as well **
and one word comments don't count as posts** And make that know they just dont post crap to get into the forums.
