I don't know if anybody has been toying around with this idea, but I think it would be good to force people to pass a mandatory quiz before posting in the "Berserk" and "Translation" forums.
This quiz would be multiple choice and would ask questions that could easily be answered by reading the Encyclopedia or FAQ...Questions like, "When does the next season of Berserk come out?" or "Where can I buy the manga? Is it in English?"
It seems like this would be more efficient than some hapless novice coming in to the Current Chapters forum and getting flamed to hell after asking a simple question. If flaming is an integral part of the process, maybe it could be done after failing said quiz. Something like, "You can't post here stupid Nuub!! Go back to the encyclopedia. You go to hell, you go to hell and you die!" or something along those lines.
I can't begin to know how much trouble it would be to implement this feature, as I don't know jack shit about programming. But if the quiz were multiple choice and set up like a poll, it seems like it could be easily automated.
Edit: Just to clarify, they could still access and read everything, just not post.
