Maybe not a video tutorial for number one, but a message that pops up your first few days explaining forums and their workings. As per #2, I have nothing to say about it except that it's a fantastic idea.
That is also an option, the only problem that I can see with that is, most people don't really like reading, they'll much rather have an amusing video to watch.

About 3 and the carpet bans, I'm not really a fan of carpet bans, unless the 'Don't reply to spam' rule really applies, or some kind of extreme case. But yeah, a checklist for multi-bans isn't a half bad idea.
I should have worded idea #3 differently. I would edit the post but its too late now. If this were implemented I'd expect the mods to not change the way they carpet ban.

Honestly, all three of these ideas sound brilliant; the video, specifically. I think an amusing introduction to trolls and a guide to avoid feeding them would be ingenious. Putting a pop-up window into effect that warns users also sounds like an exemplary idea. Overall, I reckon these ideas would, if implemented, greatly impact the community positively.
Thank you.
