To be honest, it's not as easy as you make it sound if the person has absolutely no experience with forums such as this. The ability to read and write doesn't make a person understand everything they are seeing, they can't find specific sections and where they need to make their posts, they find it hard to understand the rules, and are always afraid of getting banned or blocked, etc.

I know one can learn all these things if they spend some time experimenting with everything, I have learned everything myself after joining the forum, never had someone guiding me through, I did have some difficulties initially but since I was an internet freak, I figured out everything way earlier than a normal person would do.

I beg to disagree with you on this. It's actually not easy as it may seem considering the individual's learning ability but the problem most people encounter with the forum at their early stage is lack of reading. I don't see anything technical here that one can not understand by reading. All these sections are specifically identified on the home page with a little explanatory summary of each board. Someone who's familiar with internet should know that visiting beginners section is the first step to begin with in any platform and virtually everything you need to know is pin on the beginners board.

Quite well, I understand your point and I'm not disputing the importance of having a tutor but this forum is not too hard for someone to cope with. Op is making it sound like a big deal to thrive here without a mentor. Asking someone to help you with posting has rendered the purpose of your account creation meaningless. The purpose of being here in the first place is to learn and I don't see it as learning in hard way, it's a normal thing.
