Real newbie don't give advice of this kind since they will be lacking the knowledge and experience, and they are just focused on building they accounts and knowledge to busy to be engaging in such discussion that only old timers have skills for like this one over here.
Someone with the rank of a member is no longer a newbie. His short stay here is enough for him to relate his experiences to those below his rank. This is not a technical topic that will require him to acquire years of experience before he can advice others. Everyone of us have experienced some level of difficulties ranking up or adapting to the forum during our early days here. I see nothing wrong with his advice, as long as the advice is not misleading.
The truth is, not many who are here in this forum are actually here to learn. Some are just here to make money so, they will do anything to increase their activities count. The good thing about this forum is that there are enough regulations restricting newbies with such mindset from flooding this forum with shit posts and plagiarised contents. The merit system too has been able to force some people to work on their writing skills. Newbies who are in a hurry to rank up and start earning will only be putting themselves at risk if they try to outsmart the forum moderators.
