I was thinking of something earlier, something that I noticed with some social media websites, where new people on the platforms usually do not have full visibility at once with whatever contribution they make until they get to a certain level. Is this forum like that, or is every contribution that is made by a newbie like me here visible to every body of all ranks to see.
What ever post you make it's visible to every user and every rank level unlike those kinds of platforms you were talking about. And one thing I love about this forum is, even a newbie can make a more constructive post and come up with informative idea that can enlighten both higher rank members. It all about your level of exposure amd contribution to the topic being discussed rather than you rank. However as a newbie it would be better to make educative posts rather than spamming the forum, well from what I see from your post you're doing good, keep it up.
The forum is never focused on higher ranks, nor on newbies that are still in the learning process. In fact, this forum offers equal opportunities to both. So for newbies, this is a perfect opportunity to create your own name in the forum, where majority of members will recognize you and will remember of who you are based on how significant your post is.
There is no limited visibility, the more you post, the more you become visible to others. But always know, this isn’t just for posting purposes, you need to ensure first that you are sharing a relevant topic and create a good discussion that will bring new interesting lesson for everyone.
