Well, the mods can be considered a clique... being an exclusive club that most of us can not join ;P Of course, anyone with mod/admin experience could tell you there's a lot more responsibility than there is power to it.
Personally, I don't think people are prejudiced against new members. Now, some people may say there's no such thing as a stupid question. I disagree. As far as I'm concerned, any question that you can answer for yourself with a modicum of effort is a stupid question. Why should people spend time and effort to answer your question when you can't be bothered to spend it before asking?
I think this tendency more than anything that may cause older, more experienced members' patience to wear a little thing. How many times have you seen people start a new thread about something when an identical thread already exists on the exact same page only about 2 or 3 threads down? It's one thing to not know how to use the search button, but another not to even take a single glance at the page right in front of your face.
