So that the slightly more experienced beginners can misinform the completely new beginners who don't know any better.

The only way I see you're really going to get that is if the long term, occassionally grumpy members don't post in it.
Which then would lead to this.
I don't see anything good coming of it.

They should just open the women's forum to all she-cyclists and newbs.
The mothering instinct will kick in, the youngins will get a chance to grow up protected from harsh realities with sweet nurturance, and when the need to leave the nest finally kicks in, they can venture out into the HTFU world of the 41.
Yes?

This has been discussed to death privately by the moderators with many other members involved and it's just not going to happen. Beginners should read the sticky at the top, that will protect them from flaming.

It's similar, but it would lack the newb who doesn't know what they don't know getting into an argument with someone who knows what they're talking about. As these can be a source of much entertainment, and occasionally even teach someone something, this could only be a downgrade.
