Yeah, these things do exists but the presentation to new accounts is what really doesn’t happen although, we many at times find these new accounts to know just how to navigate the forum and you wonder how, if they’ve been around as a guest or more. We only get complaints a few times when they get their threads deleted or when they make some of those generic “I’m new here” thread and the responses is not what they hoped for.
Since there are also other forums out there which some of the newbies might already be used to and familiar with, it could be that their experience from there has made it easier to know their way around when they are here.
There are some newbies that appear very informative, but at the same time they might lack a few knowledge, which with time they will adapt to and can easily be noticed and differentiated from someone who has been here before and the one who is entirely new to the forum.
