There is nothing as good as been rewarded for active participation and meaning contribution to the forum. However, newbie who may not be considered a newbie after ranking up tends to go astray.
We have to consider the rank of a newbie to be what everyone of us have once passed through, another thing to have in mind is to know the reason or purpose on why someone is joining the forum, some were here only to make fun and there is nothing they can do about that to change it, while some were here only because they have some important things to discover and know about crypto, which all these are part of the main reasons why some will stay, learn and you also see some leaving.
