I would support a 'Beginners Imaging' section also, but part of the criteria to post would be that you must provide as much information as possible about your image. This could be listed in a sticky:
Telescope type:
Mount:
Camera:
Projection type: (afocal/prime focus/piggyback etc, etc...)
Exposure length:
ISO:
Processing? If so, which software and any information on what you did.
That's just a start.
I think what we all would have to refrain from the idle, but good intentioned comments like "great shot" and "nice" etc... We all do it, but in this particular instance, it does not help the beginner understand what they are doing right or wrong.
I mainly do visual observing and have only dabbled in imaging for about 10 seconds, but I would use this area myself!
I understand that Mike has the IOTW for a different reason and there is no reason to confuse the two ideas. I think this idea needs serious consideration.
