My opinion, though admittedly I still consider myself a HUGE Lusternia Noob, mainly stems from the IRE I played before Lusty (Lusty is now my only MUD). I had a character join the Glomdoring recently, I was told, initially that I'd need to speak to the Ambassador and gain sponsors in order to join. The character was late forties and had previously been of the Glom, once it was apparent he was a genuine noob who had simply lost his way and trying to return to the game I only had to briefly speak with a city and guild rep and recite an Oath. I strongly believe there should be a little flexibility where unknowns and noobs are concerned. If the guy seems genuine, do them a solid. If the guys well known or known to have been hostile or active in a hostile org, sure, go the whole hog with them and make 'em work for it.
