Newcomers are constantly accused of being alts of shills.

I agree this is a bit of a problem and genuine new users might get turned off and not understand that the question they asked is a common shill tactic. However, I don't think an approved user setting would be good for the sub. I will run the idea of an account age option by the other mods though. We had one on reddit and it did help weed out some bad apples.

Might sound strange but lots of new trolls is a good sign. It means the sub is pissing the right people off and getting on the radar. We are all pretty use to trolls and we do ban the obvious ones (I just banned another salos clone account a few minutes ago). I think we just need to continue to be tactful with new accounts and try to help train genuine new users on troll and shill tactics people used in real time.
