Bitcointalk is open for everyone in the world, so you should also enjoy posting in your local board here.
Although the rules of the forum apply to all boards I see the local board as a lenient part of the forum. Newbies can make mistakes and be corrected with love easily on their local board. However such mistakes might lead to severe bashing in the international boards.
Yep, happened to me once, and make me don't want to post in global boards for a while, global boards was really harsh on mistake. But from what I observe, it's far more tolerant to newbies day by days, as long as the post is not merit fishing or spam and junk, the higher rankings and other members who are currently active in several global boards is much more appreciative and less of a bully.
All that being said, I am agree that newbie should active in the local board while learning some technical term related to bitcoin, blockchain and crypto, and also learn more details on how the forum works.
