It's not like they get all the PPC protocols beamed into their heads the first time they come to the Board. :)
The ability to identify a very bad fic, and the desire to spork it, are after all some of the things that'll make a good PPC writer in time.
The reason for waiting is to give newbies time to read the original series and any other PPC stories that spark their interest, hang round the board and chat, possibly help beta some things, talk about writing, and generally get to know things before they start writing things in the PPC verse.
There are far worse descriptions for a newbie than "over-enthusiastic"!
