By asking nicely for what they can help with, stating which gifts they have and don't have - making it clear that they are newbies.
Nope. It is an attitude which must be correctly understood. Many newbies don't want to be teached but just want to make demands. The slogan is "Gimme what I want now! Or I'll scream! I swear I'll scream!"
This behaviour pisses off developers and occasionally this harms innocent people, but out of 100 harsh treatments of newbies only 1 is unwarranted.
