Isn't it great that we have this leadership-charged generation of newbies
incoming to remind us of what we should or shouldn't be doing. I'm bleedingly late with work but this is too weird to just ignore. This is your first post.
I made this post in two categories; first to encourage the newbie and second to advice the old members.
Why would you do that? You weren't even a Newbie at that point as you hadn't posted yet. You were Brand New. Not only is it highly unlikely as a Brand New user that you have advice to give "old members" of the forum, but you should realize that coming hot out of the gate with this approach
1) reflects a dismissal of the knowledge or competence of every single forum member with one or more posts
2) suggests you're not actually a Newbie.
Here's a couple secrets for not getting caught right away next time:
- Don't start posting instructions on what the forum should be doing right out the gate, in your very first post. Usually a first post is something like "Titcoin to the moon!" or... "Why won't my Electrum wallet connect to the internet?" or even "Hey what the hell happened to my shipment of Black Arrow miners???"
- Don't start posting in Meta right away or engage in obvious merit-seeking behavior. It means you have developed an understanding of where people post and what they post in order to get merits, in all likelihood due to prior experience with the forum.
For the Old members, I will liken the forum to a building from foundation to roofing.
The building at the foundation stage does not make it less building, but it is the stage at which the engineer puts much efforts and expertise. Take the newbie as the foundation, help us grow, for if the foundation is wrongly laid, it will have a significant negative effects at the completion stage.

OK KingsDen, I will take your message to heart. You sir, however, are no Newbie, sir.
Good Day.
Haha actually I'm not mad if you want to carry on, its entertaining. Couldn't quite find the GIF to express myself but close enough.
