1. While we have a guide about  the forum in the Beginners and Help board, will it also be a good idea to have an official welcome thread on our local board where new memebers can introduce themselves and also ask basic questions without fear of being judged. Not all new memebers can navigate the forum and find information by themselves...
We have a existing thread for this and it’s pinned on the board:

Naija Novice Hangout {Newbies introduction & Orientation} Thread.
I know the forum can be tough for beginners but you will need those early criticisms in the long run because you got to have thick skin if you’re going to last in this forum. We all started as newbies, there is nothing you’re experiencing now that is new to us. My advice to you is don’t take criticisms personal, take the corrections and improve yourself. You will find that people respect your opinions when it is adding value to them.
