Make mistakes and also take corrections. This is one of the things i learnt in this forum as Newbie and it's helped me through my journey this far so I decided to create this thread to help encourage other new members. It's in our human nature to make errors, that's to say that they’re inevitable and bound to happen but the most important thing is to take corrections, learn from the mistakes, to avoid making more errors.

There are some errors that people make out of ignorance, for instance wrong quoting or posting on the wrong board, do not panic when you make such errors, normally as a Newbie you're here to learn and impact knowledge when you can therefore you should see those errors as a learning process. Also, there are members that would take it upon themselves to bring such errors to your notice and probably give you the necessary corrections, now that's where taking corrections comes in, do not panic it might lead you to make more errors while you're in a rush to correct yourself, take your time, take note of your mistakes so as not to make more similar ones in future and correct them carefully.

That's why it's good as a newbie to always ready clearly and understand the rules of the forum. Also as a newbie it more advisable to do more of reading than posting, so you can actually understand everything very well before you start posting. There are lots of perfectionist here in the forum and many of them have zero tolerance for errors and you won't like yourself if they come for you. Even when you post or comment, you have to always cross check if you are doing it the right way or in the right thread. Some mistakes might cost you so dearly that you will wished you never made them. Some mistakes might give you little or no room for correction, so try your best to always be on the safe side, than waiting for correction.

I think every mistake you they ought to be some kind of correction or a lesson Learnt from it so that you won't actually make it again. No one is above here but still there are level to the kind of mistake you can make that's where and why I gave you 1 merit because you highlight the factor of which I have tried very hard to tell the newbies which is the act of reading here , I believe as a newbie you owe the forum more reading than writing so that you can properly evaluate and know what to contribute when offering back the knowledge.
