I think one of the major reasons while newbies are inquisitive to rank up with immediate effect, is because they want to join a signature campaign, because i think that should be their first mindset, some of them work tirelessly to earn a merit that will guarantee them or uplift them to another rank, the problem is that if they secure this rank which they desperate to ascertain without knowing what the community is all about, what is going to be their benefit in future, see i denotes some person's are here to learn and some are here also to earn bitcoin which totally wrong from my perspective, knowledge first before any other things.
Yes your Right some Newbies want to rankup immediately, like me before when someone introduce me about this Forum all I think is to earn and to rank up faster so that I can participate in any campaigns. But I was wrong the times goes by I realized that knowledge is better than anything. 5 months here in Forum a lot of knowledge I learned but I think it is Only 10-25% cause cause Everyday I encountered many things that I really don't know and now I am Still in processing and gathered more information not Only about bin Bitcoin but in the forum also.
So only thing I suggest to Newcomers here un Forum that they must build their knowledge first before they focus in Rankings.
Nowadays as I noticed many Newbies that they already registered way back previous months even last year, I don't know why they leave bitcointalk but now they came back and want to Learn Bitcoin Wich is good, so that many people will learn about Cryptocurrencies.
