1. High quality post: One of the most important skills to learn in these forums is how to write meaningful content. If you can't write good content as a newcomer, you would be considered a shitposter in the forum and end up with nothing in your posts. I'm still not sure what a quality post is because there's so much content on this topic with different definitions. All I can say is that we beginners should avoid spamming by making our content meaningful.

One issue with newbies having to post with high quality is their desire to feel included in the forum despite not knowing much about the forum rules and regulations. They simply want to post whenever they feel like it, even if they have no knowledge of the topic, in order to increase their post count and activity. Everything in this forum is gradual and steady; learn and understand before you try to tell for anything.

2. Plagiarism: As we all know, plagiarism is unacceptable anywhere, including bitcointalk.org. If you do plagiarism and they catch you, you will be permanently banned, regardless of your forum rank, and this is what is affecting those of us who are new to the forum. Most of the time, we fail to read the forum rules until we commit an offense and are punished; it happened to me as well; at the time, I copied some content from the internet and posted it here in the forum without realizing it was an offense. Therefore, beginners need to avoid Plagiarism.

Plagiarism, as I understand it, is the act of copying someone else's work without acknowledgment and reference to his/her work. I'm sure the rules apply here as well. Many users obtain information that will enlighten the forum users here from other sites, and if the author of the post is acknowledged, you will not face a plagiarism ban. It's good that you learned your lesson about plagiarism in the forum.
