Topic: ARE NEWBIES CONSIDERED AS FOOLS? - page 16. (Read 15314 times)
Human beings have a tendency of believing that anyone who is new on anything doesn't know at all. If I start another bitcointalk account, I will start as a newbie but I am experienced here. The ranking on bitcointalk is meant to allow members to progress step by step as they gain reputation and trust from the community. The only problem is that people start new accounts to scam people. That is why a newbie will not be trusted until he stays long enough and becomes known to other forum members.
It's not that newbies are worthless, but that their questions are frequently things that can be answered with a simple search. Many times newbies will ask a question without either googling the question first or scrolling around the forum a little bit and reading threads that may also answer their question. Additionally, it is irritating for many members when newbies don't read the stickied threads of rules and then promptly complain about their threads being removed because it violated the rules.
For a long time on this forum, I see people demonizing newbies for anything. From What I see, a new is considered as someone who doesn't 'know anything and is not supposed to say anything. Whatever you do, you will be told that "you are newbie". I ask myself, does it mean that newbies don't have a voice?
I realized some people build up their accounts and sell them when they are on a higher rank. They then start another account of which they will definitely start as a newbie. Can this person also be considered "worthless"?
