Why not just lock the main sections for posting from the newbies to avoid spam and only "beginners and help" and "off topic" section are allowed for them. In that case the spam in every sections would be lesser or gone and they would be taken care of by their tutors. And they could only unlock the sections if they gain a Merit or their activity increases to 100. What do you think ?
Also some newbies were only created to introduce a project from the altcoins section. I think its better if the mods put a payment for unlocking the altcoins section, and in that way the forum can control of ICO scams and it's their way to show their legitimacy.
