I think being able to recognize newbies would be the easiest way to help them.

Recognising a newbie as a way to help them! Is that to say users looks at the ranks before dishing out merits? I greatly doubt that.
Despite the experience one might have from being involved on other platforms or in the crypto space, forum wise, the rank you bear being newbie places you as that. The posts gets the merit and not the account. Although, the rank might lead to some compromise as to standard but even intelligent questions gets merits too.

Help newbies and those who have a little left to the next rank

Your right about that and I wonder why!

What became of "helping newbies grow"?

Genuine and quality newbie members have no issues advancing through rank but problem is that that every year there are fewer of those. Hell, there is so much merit being thrown around that all you have to do is write semi-decent posts and you will earn merit at faster pace than you earn activity.

Of course yes. There have been these likes and somehow, they tend to acquire a whole lot and are only activity stricken to the next phase.
