Me I would restrict the best sections viewable to new members until they have reached at least 50 posts this would show the member is a member that's willing to help others and DF and if they want to jump the cue to speak there is always the VIP route.
Make new members when they join only see one section (The welcome section) and once they have posted a quality post they have to manually verified to continue from there, it would stop spammers and lechers full stop but means lots more work for admin.
