I don't know if it's just my impression or what. And I don't know if it's just a coincidence. What is clear is that if you open threads (if they don't suck) it's easier to get merits. I don't know if they know it and that's why.
You are not mistaken. I meet this regularly.
There have already been several warnings that you should not trust the questions of newbies since they do not know that plagiarism is prohibited, and since they do not know anything, they copy information from somewhere (Reddit at the top)
and then they expect merits. The funny thing is that they get merit for their copied posts.
What topics do newbies discover and expect merit for them?
1. These are either vows about how they understood the rules and promises of good behavior on the forum. 2. Any piece of news fully copied and referenced is at best. 3. Well, and the third topic that has been deleted recently is the practice of questions and answers from Reddit or other forums. And most likely, beginners who believe in the magical properties of the topics being opened have the same roots, that is, this is a certain group of people who have succeeded in this practice.
Topics discovered by other participants, well-prepared, they will certainly receive their merits, since it can be seen that the person tried and prepared his post very conscientiously.
