Being discouraged and not being respected will of course have a reason for this treatment. But it won't be done completely without reason because you are just a beginner. there are many beginners who also get full appreciation from high ranking members for their good knowledge and not being too hypocritical. Saying this forum is not beginner friendly means you still don't have enough metal to face what's even worse, this is only the beginning friends, you still have a long way to go, because if you take it for granted you give up, that's wrong.
