Maybe there should be a pinned message that explains our point of view. As soon as someone (maybe a newbie) starts a thread, noone answers except a mod. He can then close the thread and point them to the pinned topic.
Best idea I've heard for a while.

Here's a thought. Why don't you prepare something for them to read amd let the mods have a look at it. Sort of proof read it. Please bear in mind however that there are people from all around the world here, so different advice would be relevant to different people.

For example there is a common misconception that copying for personal use is ok in the UK, as it is in the US. This is not the case, you cannot even copy to use on another machine in your own house. On the other hand we have the protection of ECHR which legally protects our right to privacy.

A more general, this is what we think, would be most appropriate in my opinion.
