All members of the forum especially high rank members went from being a newbie they also ask questions before so its theor duty also to help newbies on thier problems.
It's a different way back when I was a newbie there are few newbies back then back when the rules are not that very strict where there are a lot of spammers, the rules were created for newbies to upgrade the discussion and keep it healthy for the sake of those coming in the future, and some of the high-rank members now are the product of those rules.
High-rank members should not stop helping newbies because these are the future contributor to this forum, I used to have a merit thread on this section and looking to launch one soon.
