Posts of the type "this is just a test" seem to be on the increase.  It's been
suggested before -- should a lugnet.test newsgroup be created?

*  Would/should newbies get flamed for posting test messages in non-test

No, they should be ignored, I think.

*  If it did exist, would people [incorrectly] use it for non-test messages?
  Or would people have the common sense not to do that?

Trusting people to have common sense is usually a mistake. :)

*  Should follow-ups automatically be force-set to the special value 'poster'?

Works for me.
