i agree, there are a lot of "help me!" posts that wouldn't exist if users were somehow forced to go through all the FAQ's and read all posts before they were allowed to post.
How about purging the forum from non-contributing/posting users?
It would save bw, reduce loading times and make the community more active. Also maybe add a general chat and move it up, so that it is maybe the first or 2nd forum.
On my forum, I used to delete all users who have joined for at least 5 days with a post count less than 1.

yes, i have some messages in my outgoing folder to zero posters, that was never read, like comments for the torrent for upgrading to e680i
