I do not have any problem and do not see any problem if a newbie teaches me something that I didn't know. For example, let's say I don't know how to use the CPFP feature with my electrum wallet, and suddenly a newbie suggested to me the way I could do it, do you see anything wrong here? I joined this forum in 2022, but that does not mean I didn't know about Bitcoin before 2022.

So, What if I came to this forum and guided a legendary about how he should use a feature of Electrum wallet? Would you ignore my valid suggestions just because my forum rank is newbie? I have created a thread to discuss this thing a few weeks ago and a lot of people agreed with my point.

My bad, newbies might be new in the forum but they might have vast knowledge about Bitcoin or another aspect of the crypto space. Such newbies could be helpful to the forum. Newbies could also ask questions and they will receive good answers from members of the forum. But my point is that sometimes some newbies come up with topics they know little or nothing about. That was why I compared them to new students who should learn more before they start coming up with lecture topics.

I understand your point too. Some newbies create accounts and go ahead and create a thread without checking anything. Either they are just spammers who want to get some attention, or they do not know how the forum works. If a newbie creates a topic and wants to know more about it, there shouldn't be any problem. But I have also seen some random users who create tutorial threads with wrong information. But that is very rare. Not too many newbies create tutorial threads when they need to learn. So, when we refer to newbies, it should not be the forum account rank but it should be the person's knowledge and experience. It could be a crypto newbie, tech newbie, you name it.
