The best way to make the best of your account is to read the stickies in the sections you want to post in so that you know the rules, and follow the rules and just post, but don't spam. Be helpful to discussions, rank your account up. Be active. Don't beg, and don't ask for things like trust. You will get trust if people think you are trustworthy, but you must first show that you are trustworthy. Rep loans are frowned upon since it is essentially buying trust, which any scammer could do to make themselves seem trustworthy for a later scam. So don't do it.
