Maybe one of the free web-based forum packages will eventually offer an 
"elitist" or "impatient" mode. Before you can post, you do the required 
reading and pass online exams. The idea is to weed out people who think 
README is just another geek buzzword. You have to know what a FAQ is and 
you have to know what RTFM means.

Most of those people who tend to scold every newbie are probably 
"elitist pretenders". If they were truly elite, they would be too busy 
to read and reply to such posts. Of course some of us are just 
impatient, regardless of our skill level.
