Well the issue I see with doing that is the fact someone who is new to 
the project or has just begun to take interest in it gains voice how? 
For instance I just joined this list a matter of minutes ago and one of 
the first things I did was pop into the channel. Perhaps it would have 
to be a simple scripting of a delay before gaining voice. It would be an 
annoyance, but almost all of the n00b types would get frustrated after 2 
minutes and most likely leave. I know it is FAR from a foolproof 
approach and there are many things wrong with, just trying to keep the 
ideas flowing.
