There's alway some sad feeling going with newbies in any community, including this forum.
Firstly, newbies do not understand all neccesary regulations, thus may easily get hurt when their posts are deleted due to not conforming to rules. Secondly, newcomers are seen and sometimes treated as strangers who trying to get some precious resources from the cummunity. Thirdly, posts by juniors are probably not appreciated and usually passed by senior members (i.e. newbies writing just for other newbies reading, mostly). Forthly, trying to write good posts but not hoping much to get merits as mentioning in another thread obviously another discouraging thought to new members.
Anyway, I think that's quite normal, because all members have experienced such feelings when they just joined this forum. The only matter is how they manage to pass such little akward moments.
What're my solutions? Well, just follows common instruction: reading more, learning much, and trying to contribute useful posts within my current knowlege about cryptocurrency world, as much as I can.
How about you, new guys? Any better ideas?
The hostility being faced by newbies is just normal in every human society because you are expected to know how things happen in a community before trying to feel among. The reason why its on the high part is because most newbies didn't want to learn before earning. They just want to join based on what they have heard about the earning opportunities and blinded by that objective to take note of salient rules until they run into problem breaking one of the rules and by that time, ignorance won't be an excuse.
Another reason is the people who are morally deficient have used that rank to perpetuate unwholesome activities. You see someone create a new account to trade or sell something, exchange currencies, borrow loans with the objective of scamming. That makes people skeptical about the rank. Eventually, the problem won't go but if you distinct yourself, you will be noticed and for merits, it might be difficult but eventually you earn it if you are consistent of churning out quality posts.
