I don’t think you need any help navigating the forum, your post history shows you can do that quite well. The question I think you really want to ask this how do you get merit? I think that is what truly bothers you, the fact that you have not been able to get merits even though you have created five topics in the general board. I’m sure you have seen and read the advice that is being posted on here for newbies, taking time to learn a particular area of Bitcoin would vastly improve the quality of your posts.
I was looking out to see the ops mentioning either merits or ranks in his comment, but he was able to totally stay away from hitting the nail on the head may be for some obvious reasons, but then it was quite simple to achieve anything significant in this forum and from my experience, there is nothing special about the forum and is not as if it a conventional academic ground that need some form of exams to validate one membership.
Here is a free Bitcoin discussion forum, and for that, as long as a user is patient enough to read through everything that he finds interest in, there won't be any much issue getting used to the forum at most times and since you can constantly engage in discussions and getting helped or corrected most often it becomes easier to adapt and become a quality member at the end.
