I’ve recently made 10+ posts here as a new user, and I realised the forum works differently than typical social media. No likes. No shares. Just merit — and it’s earned, not given.
Forum works differently, you must give a useful contribution to be earn merits and sometimes your definition of "Useful contribution" might not really be useful to another person dishing out merits, in such a case, don't be discouraged, keep contributing and you'll get rewarded on the go
-Original thinking matters — don’t copy anything, not even from your own posts.
Yep, same reason the use of AI is discouraged here on the forum to promote natural human interactions and not robots interaction, your own thought process is encouraged, it must not be perfect in terms of grammatical construction, as long as your post is readable and constructive, you are good.
If you copy directly and don't give credit to the source, it's called plagiarism and is punishable by banning your account.
