Upon how lanient and easygoing the bitcoin talk forum is, I have seen some newbies complain that there are so many rules and here is very much unfriendly and they will eventually quit the forum. When I see this set of newbies, I will laugh out loud at their act. If you say that some of the newbies do have an unfriendly welcome by the established members, I will agree with you but that is just in rare cases when the newbie tries to show off even when they have nothing to offer, when there is a clear sign of scam that wants to emanate from the newbie.
This is basically how stuff seems to be for almost every newbie, I have someone who felt the same when I introduced him to the forum and until a particular point where he became conversant with the forum rules, while the other one thought the are rules too much for him to comprehend and he left the forum
