Bitcointalk is an innovative platform that gives space for everyone to learn and also teach others what they know, no one is an island of knowledge, we are all learning from each other. Room should be given for people who are coming up to grow instead of being discouraged. It took a lot of effort and hardwork for the senior members and every other high ranking member of the forum to get to where they are.
From my experience so far on the forum moderators only delete posts easily that are just too obvious off topics. Many times I've come across posts that are off topic or in the wrong board still sitting there still not nuked or moved. Moderators can't actually spot every single off topic post and that is one of the major reasons why we all have the report button.
Learning doesn't stop you from discussing things in the wrong board same way it isn't too big of an excuse to create off topic posts. I get your point but some posts obviously deserve to be nuked.
