I might want to disagree with some features you counted as hard, to be sincere, system works for newbies by there tine and understanding the system. Even if you make some features as simple as ABC, some people will still not get it. The best thing is to let them grow into it.

For example, when a newbie comes in, all he know is how to post and claim reward, he from there knows how to change it to all powered up and later get to know more features. We all that came, knew these things bit by bit.
