When I joined the forum some months ago I got to know the forum has strong rules
Forum has some rules to protect the community. But following these rules is not very difficult. Have you ever wondered what would have happened if these rules did not exist? The forum would have been a hangout for scammers. I think newbies should be taught the rules so that they don't give birth to any new experience.
They should and they have to follow it otherwise, they'll face the consequences of committing any mistakes.
I know we sometimes commit mistakes ( I think everyone does) but at least it comes minimal. If we wanted to grow and improve ourselves better to listen to what others saying. It was for the sake of correcting our mistakes and not be going to happen. To follow the rules isn't really hard if we wanted to do so. Honestly, it is really hard to imagine the forum without certain rules to follow, and probably it has nowhere to go. And this is the reason why we still exist up to this time and counting.
