I have concerns about the interactions between experienced members and newcomers in this forum. Occasionally, some experienced members can be quite harsh and may forget that newcomers are here to learn. While constructive corrections are beneficial, it's crucial to avoid using harsh or abusive language.

It's true that some posts from newcomers may be of low quality or show a lack of willingness to learn initially. However, I believe that giving them a chance and treating them with kindness is a reasonable approach.

Name drop those experienced members who are very harsh to newbies out there. I want to know because I might be one of them even though I'm not even close to being an experienced.  Wink Cheesy

Anyway, I don't notice this kind of thing where high ranked members or experienced members are very harsh to newbies. Well, it's a different story if those newbies are just posting for merits. They can feel if that newbie is just posting for merits or not. TBH, I'm kind to newbies who aren't fishing for merits, and if I see newbie who can post as constructive as other high ranked members out there, I will not think twice to give them merits because they deserve it.

TBH, I've seen some newbie-ranked members in the past, and within a few months, ranked up to be a Senior Member, then a Hero Member, then became a Legendary. They ranked up way faster than me, and I commend them. I'm kind, but if I'm one of the members who talks harsh to them then I will adjust for them.
