    My preference is to see new users' posts for all the generally acceptable reasons (to greet them and such).

That's mine too but should that be for logged out users? I think the best approach is to disable it for logged out users, why? It allows the community to do its self-moderation approach and once the new users stop being "new" people who browse logged out will see content from those that are not spammers and spam won't have a chance to show up.
