Damn, that's a lot of merits being given to Newbies. Somehow I think my standards for meriting newcomers are higher than for other ranks (and I guess that's backed up by my merit-giving history). Or maybe I'm just not seeing the good posts being made by them in sections I have ignored.
I wasted a lot of time. About 1 hour a day. I had to search for them all over the forum: Bitcoin Discussion, Project Development, Economics, Service Discussion, Trading Discussion, Scam Accusations, Beginners & Help, Altcoin Discussion, Service Discussion (Altcoins), etc.
A lot of newbies come across with a one-line posting. Almost all of their posts are 10-15 words maximum. I would like to help such users, but it does not work because of their unwillingness to present their thought in detail, at least in 2-3 sentences. There are also many newbie schillers. Which I can write in detail and beautifully, but they will embed an advertisement of some know-name project into their post, and you understand that this is just paid-posting.
