Juarez..... I wonder why you posted a question.... Why didn't you just READ?!? Isn't that what you say you want to require of newbies?
On all forums there is always a certain group of people who go out of their way to answer a poster's question with the old "use the search button" response.
This is such a forum killing attitude. I think most people do read prior posts for information, however they are unable to find the exact answer they were seeking.
This "Read" attitude will stop the growth of your board. It will minimize participation.
A better response would be to say nothing if you have nothing other than "Read prior posts"..

Yo Cuz,
           Ivan has probrably cleaned more roofs than you have even though of. Relax and read. He is a certified roof cleaner and you are not.
As far as growth we have doubled participation since last year and we are still growing.
Ive been told the same thing, "Use the Search". But soon after people posted helpful replies. Be patient and someone will answer you. While your waiting, "Read."
