I don't really believe that a newbie will know much how to use some of the forum's features within hours of joining.
You point that out, but knowledge, they say, is power, and I can't possibly call myself a newbie here if I am not one. As to your concern, I am a newbie here and not a newbie to technology, not even a newbie that would not understand some features when I see them and also text them before use (like the write-up board here has a preview button). At least I also have good knowledge of Bitcoin. Two topics I created were moved to the appropriate section, and that was because I thought as a newbie I was only allowed to post under the beginners' and help sections.
