ansteorra newcomer troubles

[E.PRESTON III & SHELLY K. WALKER]

Okay, I'll be the first to admit, I have not read ALL these posts about
newcomers and angst. At the risk of being flamed by hospitalers and the
type, what's all the fuss?
We have hospitalers to serve as the "welcome wagon" and I have used that
term when introducing newcomers to a hospitaler. If some groups seem to
have too many newcomers (I kill for that privilege) then perhaps the
hospitaler needs a break, or some deputies.
Why do we need to find a new badge to introduce newcomers? Couldn't
there be a simple sign written in english, located at the troll booth
stating when and who to contact if you are new and uncertain what to do?
I've been to many events where the autocrats and such, simply by virtue
of not wanting to be misunderstood because of persona and language
barriers, write modern, or speak modern. 
Let loose the flames now.
