Did you actually read the Op or you made a preempted post. The Op didn't say "Hi I'm a newbie".
No it's just what I assume the post is all about in short form.
when we sense a genuine newbie (I am not vouching for Op), we should treat them with leniency.
Well, I'm not against the OP, just the post. In fact, I like to encourage newbies even more because I've been there and I know what it's like to be a newbie.
The OP has been here for over a year, so I wasn't expecting a post like this (he didn't even request guidance). Besides, there are lots of similar posts already. I remember seeing a
similar thread just above it before I made that comment. But you'd notice that OP stated why and where he needed guidance, which is still okay! (Not vouching for that OP either).
.........
So, please don't do this.

Okay
