That's true, but I think they should buy some senior member accounts at good rate and then join signature campaign that would help them to earn more and faucets doesn't sounds great as it doesn't pay in higher amount, so for a newbie signature campaigns are the best option if they have senior member or hero member accounts than they can earn good bitcoins out of it.
Yeah, but buying a higher rank accounts directly isnt a good idea for newbies imo. They need to learn all thing about bitcointalk, even about what sign camp is, as a newbie. So they could buy higher rank account when they are atleast junior member, which they have known what a sign campaign is and all rules on this forum.
Selling a newbie an hero account would be a waste of an account. The guy will probably get banned in no no time because it will be too obvious that he is way too clueless on any of this and he is just here to spam some one liners on the offtopic section to try to get some satoshis off a signature campaign. But sometimes those newbies aren't actual newbies and are buying the accounts through a newbie account so you never know.
