New users get infractions for the same reasons old users do; why should the rules be applied unevenly? It's not like being edited for code tags actually
does anything to them. Even the most egregious offenders haven't had anything worse than editing of their posts done to them unless I'm highly mistaken.
Naturally, but that sort of thing's hard to encourage more than it already is.

allowing anonymous posters - am sure would be big discussion around this point like sanity of the message posted, advertisements etc
Considering the number of accounts here that were one-post wonders, maybe this isn't entirely wrong. But it'd have to be controlled one way or another.

My personnel experience as a student is its quite difficult to go in the right track with respect to system internals unless someone is eligible and knowledgeable says/teaches you about that. Whole student community will bless us for that not just praising !

TAILF(1) User Commands TAILF(1)
NAME
tailf - follow the growth of a log file
SYNOPSIS
tailf [OPTION] file
DESCRIPTION
tailf will print out the last 10 lines of a file and then wait for the file to grow. It is similar to tail -f but does not access the file
when it is not growing. This has the side effect of not updating the access time for the file, so a filesystem flush does not occur peri-
odically when no log activity is happening.
tailf is extremely useful for monitoring log files on a laptop when logging is infrequent and the user desires that the hard disk spin down
to conserve battery life.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-n, --lines=N, -N
output the last N lines, instead of the last 10.
-V, --version
Output version information and exit.
-h, --help
Display help and exit.
