your activity in this forum has not been too long but you have received quite a lot of rewards and you can say you are a good person and study hard.
and indeed we must have ideals to add insight so that we become successful in all things.
but in my opinion there is no need to be embarrassed if for example our ranking is still beginner, because it could be people who don't have much merit but have high abilities so in my opinion don't focus too much on merit.
but this is a good topic, friends, of course, there will be many benefits, especially for beginners who are just learning.

I'm happy to say that I am no longer in the newbie rank. I can remember being ashamed of the newbie rank glaring on my profile. I soon got used to it and then ignored it and focused on growing my knowledge on btc and crypto in general. I can say I've learnt a whole lot with loads more to learn. Learning is a continuous process and I look forward to growing in continuous knowledge and information sharing here in the forum.
Very well Congratulation then, I mean nothing is wrong with being a newbie we are all once a newbie at some point and that is the time when we learn a lot about cryptocurrency there's nothing to be ashamed of that. You know nothing is wrong if you're asking a lot, if you don't know anything about something you just need to ask about it nothing is wrong with that and its better than just doing nothing, newbies are the future of this future, lot of high ranks members are already inactive some of the members are already old so soon, newbies and low-rank members will be the future of this forum. My advice is just don't mind your rank in the future, continue your journey on cryptocurrency with that you could easily share your experiences in your journey and at the same time if you don't understand anything you could easily ask here in the forum, your going to rank up naturally there was no pressure there, you could take a break anytime when your tired, good luck on your journey mate!.

...Ashamed of having the NEWBIE rank -according to you?? How does that sound?... prolly like you've learnt alot in your early days? No!! If you had, you'd understand that there's no need to be shy in this whole climbing process... Or did you have an account that was banned previously?? No?.then why are you being shy?Assuming the member rank is a beautiful thing also - lemme put that to you - and I'll say a big congrats too. Someone said "your rank has nothing to do with your level of contribution" and I support that too... You might even be a famous Bitcoin guru but immediately you get your registration completed in here, you automatically become a newbie...it's that simple.

being newbie should not a problem , and everyone starts at the bottom, everyone should continue to grade himself as a newbie since in a digital world the phase is fast and being out for a few months, will put you at the back and should learn what's new, I don't think also that there is nothing wrong with being a newbie, you just have to read and apply what you have learn, find out things you don't know before 
This thread was over a year ago, but finally up again. Maybe this is one of the motivations for newbies that ranking up is not an impossible thing to do. Everyone needs their own process.
Being a newbie is part of the process.
So in my opinion there is no need to be ashamed when holding a newbie rank. Because indeed everyone here has experienced being a newbie. And in the end, times will flow along with how we all go through the process to become a higher rank. This may not be easy for many newbies because of several things related to rising ranks. Likewise with me, I think it's quite difficult to move to a higher rank. But at least, as long as we want to try, there will be progress. On the other hand, sometimes we are too lazy to make posts that are better, informative, and also appropriate. But sometimes we just want to catch up on posts. This is what I often experience or maybe some of the other members too. But one thing is certain, when you have passed the newbies stage, it means that you are getting better in a number of ways including knowledge. So at least we can share something with each other, because this is one of the functions of this forum.

I can say that your growth is inevitable here if you keep following the right track in learning and also sharing your experience and knowledge with members here. Your ability to make more research and stay very active in the forum and also read will determine how much growth you will get within a short while. Just as you have said, your focus should be on growing in knowledge I believe with that you won't find it difficult to grow in the forum I assume you know what that means?

I do not understand the reason anyone should be ashamed of the newbie status. At every point in time everyone here was a newbie. There is no organisation or group of people that you will join or start off as a pro. You will need to pass the due process and grow through it.
You should not be ashamed of your newbie status, rather you should try to contribute positively to the forum as a newbie so that in few years time when you will look back at where you started you would be proud of yourself.
Meanwhile rank has nothing to do with your level of contribution. A newbie can contribute more effectively than a senior member if the newbie has good knowledge of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Why do you feel embarrassed to be a beginner? Aren't all the members here starting from beginners? You have to get rid of any shame about your account ranking, because as a result later it will be very difficult for you to adapt to this forum and in the end it will be difficult for you to grow because you feel ashamed because you feel that your ranking is still low. Besides, contributing to this forum is not only seen from the account ranking, even if you post various knowledge and continue to contribute you will be the most important part in this forum.The key to keep growing in this forum is to keep learning and don't be lazy to read. Try to combine consistency, concentration and focus to achieve goals. At least this consistency can approach the target of the goal setting you want in this forum.

There is nothing to be ashamed of being a newbie and you must have to know that nobody was automatically moved or ranked up to legendary because its a gradual process from newbie to legendary and everyone on the forum also passed through such process.I do understand that ranking is important and I also know the hardworking it takes to grow an account because nothing seems new in the forum and it seems everything has been discussed earlier before now.
There was a time that it almost became impossible to earn merits and there was a time the merits came in without really much efforts even on posts that have been unnoticed and that's a clear evidence quality works has its rewards.

OP Indeed, you act as a motivating speaker to me because your message is also inspiring. Before you can be successful in life, you must first complete a series of steps. The forum is divided into numerous levels that you cannot skip but must follow level by level; the forum rank does not even begin with newbie; it begins with brand new but your hard work will take it to the next level. Being ashamed or not is not a curse but a word of encouragement, the forum is not a place of competition but a place of learning and contributions, which is the most intriguing part, for someone to improve in rank here requires focus, effort, patience, and giving it more time. I started to feel that I wasn't serious about this after seeing people I came before pass me by to rank up but I'm still left behind the corner, I don't see it as envy but as a challenge to me to go for more research and since I started that I see more improvement in me because I started learning new things in the forum that I didn't know before and I need them to participate in the forum, I'm happy for you. I'm happy to say that I am no longer in the newbie rank. I can remember being ashamed of the newbie rank glaring on my profile.

Congratulations for your rank up. But you don't have to be ashamed because you were a newbie. For you to grow, you must start from the low level. And that is how children also is. You cannot jump life, there is a due process in everything. Those children who jumped primary education to secondary School will not do well as the ones that started from the nursery School to the university level. So you don't have to jump. Therefore, be proud of your age (rank) at all levels. You have learned because you started from the grassroot and there are somethings you have to learned from the newbie rank so that when you grow up nobody can convinced you again.

The joy in moving from one rank to another should also have the excitement that you know better than what you used to know that is more knowledge, and that is why you have been moved to another rank. If you were a newbie and now a member in rank, but you still have newbie knowledge about bitcoins, nothing has changed then, you just moved from one rank in forum to another without a follow up increase in knowledge as you rank went up. 
I'm happy to say that I am no longer in the newbie rank. I can remember being ashamed of the newbie rank glaring on my profile.
Congrats on your new rank OP, I don't see anything to be ashamed of being a newbie. You can't start your steps from 2, you start from 1 before getting to the top, so I don't see anything to be ashamed of as long as you have it in mind that you won't remain a newbie for long, is one step at a time to move to the next level/rank. Everyone on this Forum started from somewhere before getting to where they're now, hard work and never giving up will get you to your goal, and I see you getting to a greater hight only if you keep on pushing.

That's the spirit, I'd tell you for free that if you'd never have that mindset of getting to know more about Bitcoin or cryptocurrence as a distraction but only focusing on your rank you won't have gotten to your NEW RANK, you would have lost focus, so learning and contributing to the forum also being consistent was what got you to where you are so I'd advise you keep it up and add more effort to your work.
Once again congrats...
Being a newbie might seem very much down grading to many individuals in the forum, especially those who ain't new to the crypto world and have good knowledge about bitcoin and it's kind, but here in this forum the're many things not concerning bitcoin that you'll come across and it would be very beneficial to your personal like, the ranking in the forum doesn't serve as an agenda for competition, rather it's a means of letting you know your progress level therefore should encouraging as you go further, so I urge you to continue seeing the forum as a learning process as you go further cause theirs still lots to learn, and this should also serve as an example to newbies that would come across this post, y'all should see the forum as a place to learn and not an agenda for competition or a get rich quick scheme.
OP i checked your profile and discovered you're now In the member ranks, Congratulations and i wish you success on your journey ahead.

In my opinion, Newbies need to stop here to read the topic written by Op, they can turn on motivation from the way Op has done in forming his account out of the Newbie circle. Learning can increase knowledge which can have a positive impact on personal and account, the knowledge gained can produce quality posts that are easier to get merit. Never hesitate to try, as long as there is a strong desire you can reach a higher rank.
I'm happy to say that I am no longer in the newbie rank. I can remember being ashamed of the newbie rank glaring on my profile.
First of all, I congratulate you, who have succeeded in moving up the ranking to become a member.The feeling of pleasure is definitely very reasonable, when experiencing a ranking increase in this forum. Because for beginners, at first it will definitely be very difficult to be able to rank up. It will definitely take a long time and not a moment. So when you get just one merit, you can go up to junior rank. It feels amazing and feels so proud.
Because I have also experienced the same thing as you feel. So when you can rank up in this forum, that's something to be proud of.
But when I was a beginner in this forum, to be honest, I didn't feel ashamed at all. Because at that time I thought, I shouldn't be ashamed to be able to grow in this forum. Because if you have a sense of shame, especially if it's excessive, I'm sure it will be a big obstacle and cause someone to feel inferior to be able to contribute to this forum. Therefore, embarrassment or feeling of inferiority must be overcome as soon as possible, so that we can develop more in this forum.
Being recognized in the forum is a great idea, but I don't think anyone will get it if their account isn't growing. High ranks help us stand out, but you can't get one in this forum unless you're a dedicated participant who consistently helps the community grow.
Everyone has a different reason for visiting the forum; some people are merely there to learn about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general and to invest, while others are there to take part in anything that will enable them to put food on the table. Therefore, if someone joins the forum with the intention of participating in signatures and ranking up quickly, they will be ashamed if they discover those they started with at higher ranks. However, if someone joins the forum with the intention of learning about cryptocurrencies and investing, I'm not sure what they will be ashamed of when they are in a lower rank because that is not what brought them to the forum.

I'm really happy for you on your new rank, i don't think you should ever feel bad about being a newbie or brand-new on this forum because everyone you see who has advanced in rank by posting to this forum are once a newbie, we should keep knowing more about bitcoin and some of the most important things in investments gradually we all will rank up, there's nothing to be ashamed of it's just a matter of time. I congratulate you on your new rank, mate. I know it wasn't easy, but with all of them, we'll all rank up higher.
First, Congrat, you on this success. You are now no longer at the novice rank and have advanced one level. Nice try of course. For other things, for me, whether he is a beginner or not, for example in asking or answering questions from other people who are more senior, kind and objective, of course he will get a place and attention, and sometimes they have the possibility of having great potential and ability by the thought that they can be above the average of other people of their age. Yes. Visually on a forum someone looks like a newbie, but their knowledge and knowledge is sometimes more than that. As you said above, there is a lot we should know and learn about BTC or others here.
Congratulations on your effort so far. This shows you did not relent and wouldn't even dare because you have come this far.
A newbie like me, who have been offline due to some reasons and is back, have now been saddled with the task of relearning, re-equipping and fine tuning my rusty knowledge on the Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies technology and market trading system topics.
Am encouraged by your success and resilience.
I got lot of work to do.

Forum growth is a gradual process and it come the way you work on it, forum is basically a process whereby your engagement and your activeness determined your elevation in forum because no body grow without been active in conversation and without know the things that's necessary concerning forum, clamping for new position is necessary to someone who is determined in forum I'm happy to say that I am no longer in the newbie rank. I can remember being ashamed of the newbie rank glaring on my profile.
I wonder why you would be ashamed of your newbie status. Don't you know that every high ranking member on the forum started from the scratch? So there's nothing shameful about going through the same process like every else. The quality contribution you make here is what will really count that when you finally decide to stay away or quit the forum, your absence will be greatly felt. Btw congratulations on your member rank and I wish you the best.

"Drama thread" I certainly do avoid those especially the ones created in the reputation and scam accusation board about some forum users getting involved in some kind of shitty stuffs. They certainly know how to play out a drama in some of the threads I have seen. But I feel reading and involving in educative thread about BTC is one way of advancing yourself into a fully loaded crypto enthusiast.Some newbies are very interested in such threads these days - even they can figure out a lot of things despite admitting they're still newbies. No idea what the motive is - but I wouldn't worry too much that some of it is alt.
Wise advice for beginners is - focus on the growth of your knowledge regardless of whether it is bitcoin, blockchain, wallets, market behavior and investment opportunities. You don't have to deal with something that isn't important - so focusing on your plan is a wise choice.

I don't know why you should be ashamed of being a newbie. It's just a nae tag on the forum and nothing more. It only designates you to be new on forum but, doenst tell ouch about your knowledge on cryptocurrency. Your expressions does that for you, it tells you to be a pro on the subject or not.Now that you've out grown the rank, what much difference does it make? As far as the forum goes, your still a beginner based on ranks. In other terms, you might be more and that's what it is.
Not until I realized that Inasmuch as one is limited in crypto knowledge irrespective of his rank in the forum he is no anything different from an actual newbie. When we envelope ourselves with such perspective, we are well on the right track. What would be the need of the elevated rank without a commiserating crypto knowledge to it?

I spend some good quality time reading and learning new things I never knew before here on the forum and I must confess, these drama threads on reputation and scam accusation board could be quite entertaining. Asides from threads about members taking out loans and then defaulting on such loans(it’s not cool having to read about lenders having to deal with bad debts), it could be quite interesting reading though these drama threads. You could learn a thing or two from them. You could also find some of these drama threads amusing.

There is no shame in learning, you don't know, wants to know and so, you study so that you know and that's where the pride is.

even though this is perspective, but i don't agree with your opinion. in fact, i don't think the beginner ranking is something to be ashamed of because it's just a stage that we have to go through and because every member here must have gone through the beginner ranking stage.I soon got used to it and then ignored it and focused on growing my knowledge on btc and crypto in general. I can say I've learnt a whole lot with loads more to learn. Learning is a continuous process and I look forward to growing in continuous knowledge and information sharing here in the forum.
for this one i agree that if we focus more on always developing by increasing knowledge that is a good thing and in my opinion it should be applied by everyone regardless they are still beginners or even higher ranks. -snip-
Its pretty simple and easy for you to say this now seeing how you have grown so fast but if I could remember my newbie days, it was pretty hectic seeing that I was completly lost in the vastness of the whole forum but like every newbie the zeal to grow was there and it certainly paid off seeing how me myself have grown too.So - if you feel you are still a beginner where your knowledge of bitcoin and crypto still needs to be honed, then don't involve yourself too much into useless discussions. For example - spending a lot of time reading drama threads or something like that.

Fortunately for me I was glad when I first achieved the tank of a newbie, it borne on me that the growth process has bagun and no going back.
Anyways, congrats to your new rank

There are two newbies in this forum those in rank and those in knowledge, you could have a member rank but if your knowledge of Cryptocurrency is not ample then you're still a newbie, and you could be a newbie rank here but your knowledge about Cryptocurrency is complete then you can be considered the rank of Senior or of those higher level, you should be comfortable on your level of knowledge than your rank here.Quote

Good for you, but will you still say that if you still have a newbie rank in your profile just be satisfied with what you know than what you have here, you'll eventually get it based on what you know.
What do you mean by receiving the rank of a newbie? Newbie is the ground floor rank of every newly registered member. You don't left a finger to achieve it.
It still requires very very minor work, making 1 post and wait for activity count which is executed every hour.If you don't make any post, you will not gain any activity point and your account will be Brandnew forever.
If you make one post, it gets deleted or your account gets nuked, you will not achieve the Newbie rank.

Nobody should ever be afraid of who or what they are. Being a novice is not a big concern because it appears that everyone started from zero, and rank doesn't indicate how significant or useful you are in the forum. Instead, focus on being successful and reliable there.You only need to be diligent and more engaged with the forum in order to study the forum rules, learn a lot from it, and utilize the forum as a learning resource. More importantly, be genuine and contribute high-quality posts to the topic.

Congratulations to you, just be active in the forum, and eventually you'll learn a lot of knowledge that will change your life. Don't worry about ranking up as the more you get active and you help the members in the forum, your post will eventually earn more merits.
I've witnessed a lot of members here that ranked up from newbie to Legendary, and they did that in just a very short period of time.
The pattern is very simple, contribute and you shall be rewarded.

Congratulations on ranking up and getting out of newbie rank. There is a quote I read somewhere that said "You don't have to be a "Legendary member" to be considered as a "real asset" of the forum" which the message behind is very true. I also a newbie rank before so it's only natural to go through that phase. I joined Bitcointalk forum and few days later merit was implemented where I am very close for ranking up to jr. member. Just continue doing what you best to contribute and you'll get more merits to rank up and also getting vast knowledge.

Congratulations for getting out of the "newbie-hell" experience with your rank.
The fact that you were able to garner these much merits in the past few days reflect your dedication towards knowledge and contribution to the cryptocurrency sphere. While this may be the case, your journey has just actually started. Since you have the capability of sharing knowledge, continue such mission even if you attain the highest rank as your goal is not to rank-up but to gain actual cryptocurrency knowledge in the process.

Actually, no need to be ashamed of being a newbie, because everyone here was a newbie too. Just do the best even as a newbie and the time will prove that you deserve to rank up. What makes difference is not fully the rank but the way we are progressing. Everyone here is still learning, keeps learning, not only newbies bu also all members here are still learning because there are always new things here. Never stop learning dude, because more you elarn, more you know, and more you wnat to know more again.
I don't think you should be ashamed because you are a newbie, I don't think thier is anything bad in being a newbie, every high rank member in the forum were once a newbie, so I don't think anything is bad but is better we just try and improve. Congratulation on your new rank, I hope you continue to benefit the forum and also I wish you higher rank in the future. Also pls don't forget to always abide by the rules and regulations of the forum, make sure your primary aim should be for you to acquire knowledge and benefit the forum and the forum users and not to be looking for merit.
U don’t really have to be afraid of being a newbie at all, everybody was once a newbie, but it also a good thing that u didn’t lose your focus and went on to learn about crypto currency. And you being a junior member doesn’t mean you are there yet, don’t lose focus.
Sure, everyone was a newbie, me too. I also joined this forum once the Merit system was applied. So, we actually have the same opportunity and have the same situation. It depends on ourselves if we want to improve our rank or not. Give constant contribution to the forum will be the way to rise your member up besides you need to improve your knowledge both related to crypto and the forum as well. So, focus on learning and show your positive contribution to this forum, dude. 
I'm happy to say that I am no longer in the newbie rank. I can remember being ashamed of the newbie rank glaring on my profile. I soon got used to it and then ignored it and focused on growing my knowledge on btc and crypto in general. I can say I've learnt a whole lot with loads more to learn. Learning is a continuous process and I look forward to growing in continuous knowledge and information sharing here in the forum.
Newbie rank in this forum is the beginning of many steps of success in this community and then why should we ashamed in our rank? Take it note all the user here in forum start as a newbies so if you are new in this community don't ashamed on a what you are already achieved.

Fortunately for me I was glad when I first achieved the tank of a newbie, it borne on me that the growth process has bagun and no going back.
Anyways, congrats to your new rank

Thats totally normal to be a newbie and even I myself can considered it still always a newbie. Everyone doesnt know everything in the crypto space and somehow they still in the learning process themselves.There is no shamed having a rank od newbie dude. Some newbies are even worth praising since they got a lot of acquired knowledge inspite of their rank.

Saying you are ashamed as a "Newbie" is just like a lady saying she is ashamed of being a female, because it's actually who you are, and its always good not to worry over what its beyond your power
I can understand the OP sentiment regarding his former newbie rank because it is the lowest rank in the forum, and people like to competitive and get high scores. Besides that, not everyone who is a newbie on Bitcointalk is a newbie to crypto. Congratulations OP
Yeah. A better analogy might be: Being a newbie on a forum is like being a child in real life. We've all gone through that in our forum lives, some growing up more quickly, some more slowly, but even the old legends have been Newbies at some point. There is nothing to be ashamed about that.
Everyone needs growth and Its gladens the heart when one is growing in any environment that requires growth.
This can be achieved by determination, continues hard work and staying focused on whatever thing you're doing.
The experience of being a newbie lead me to ask myself how and when I'm gonna get to legendary member,
but I realized that consistent learning and hard work will definitely bring about growth in the end.

I can't blame you if you feel ashamed of newbie rank. Ranks and reputation are the currency of the forum.
You're right about those two items being the currency of this forum but I dare say again that it was too quick for OP to start feeling ashamed. I say this so as to disabuse the minds of newbies from getting unnecessarily irritated if the merits aren't coming. That way, newbies won't pressure themselves into opening threads and spamming there or plagiarising intellectual materials in the bid of seeking merits. 
I soon got used to it and then ignored it and focused on growing my knowledge on btc and crypto in general.
You should also continue in this manner OP, that is ignore your current rank, focus more on learning and becoming a gainful contribution to forum. Some users get discouraged along the way before they are able to become very valuable contributions here, i personally will not like that for you having celebrated this milestone stop your activities here or feel too comfortable, there are better days ahead. More Milestones to celebrate, congratulations OP.
I can't blame you if you feel ashamed of newbie rank. Ranks and reputation are the currency of the forum. This makes newbies desperate to increase their rank, desperation can lead newbies making mistakes to get merits to increase their rank. Learn to enjoy your state par time par time, once you pass this rank it's gone forever.
Congratulations Nerdy doctor!
You have followed the right path by choosing to learn, as he who stops learning is old.
I use to be timid even to write, I had series of questions up in my head but having a timid personality played also in my writing, I felt at times I'll be bashed. Well I just try be myself more after sometime, I did develop the mind to write.
I'm currently chasing how to be very good in the Technical board, I have spent my last few weeks reading and taking things down.
You should set goal henceforth and chase em, good luck once more ahead!
Click on and share your joy over there, Kudos mate!

How can that be? Your account is barely a month old and you're already feeling ashamed and thinking you've stayed longer at that level? There are many accounts which aren't even senior members though they've been registered long before I joined in 2017. Listen, you better snap out of that inferiority complex mentality if you want to succeed here. Grow a thick skin in addition to that. Otherwise you're going to be hurt badly with tirade of supposedly unpleasant comments.Learning is a continuous process and I look forward to growing in continuous knowledge and information sharing here in the forum.
I believe that to be true that learning is a continuous process. You're guaranteed of that learning process once you're sincere that's what you want here. We've several knowledgeable users who are technically sound and who are ready to teach others.

nothing really shameful about being a newbie all of us here started as a newbie, as long as you have your goal and are adamant about learning your rank will not matter to you, though the features you'll get when you reach higher ranks are quite nice.Saying you are ashamed as a "Newbie" is just like a lady saying she is ashamed of being a female, because it's actually who you are, and its always good not to worry over what its beyond your power, as everyone here was ones a newbie, as a higher rank comes with it's own experience
forum rank and gender are completely two different topics and is an extremely bad example to use. 
I not being so ecstatic about being a newbie isn't in any way comparable and I know everyone was once a newbie; I'm not stupid lol.
I had pretty much overlooked and forgotten about my newbie rank but an increase in rank obviously can't be overlooked.
I can say more, mate. You are no longer a rookie, and now you have accumulated enough merit to equal the rank of a member. And this is also a great achievement. Since there are newbies on the forum who, during their five-year stay on the forum, have not been able to receive more than one merit.
Therefore, you are doing the right thing by not paying attention to ranks. Focus more on the posts you make, and soon we'll be waiting for you in the rank celebration thread, where you can share your joy with everyone.

This is exactly the same advice I give to newbies who are trying so much to rank up, the moment you move on and try becoming your real self you will do the impossible, be yourself and keep growing, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Fun fact: When I was at the senior to hero rank, I was kinda pushing a lot more effort specifically in trying to rank up (because I'm kinda competitive and all that). While I was successful with that goal, the funny thing is that I've been racking up a lot more merits by not trying to hard to please people and just focus a lot more on reading stuff.

You have a good starting point but it's still a long way to get to a higher level, just continue what you are doing and the most important is learning and sharing what you've learned, this is what makes Bitcointalk a great forum, it has everything and every new milestone and new concept are born here, it's hard to be in Cryptocurrency and you are not part of this forum.

Why been ashamed on newbie rank placed on your account? Everybody came from newbie before all of us rank up and we all do huge efforts to rank up so be proud on where you came because it will give you motivation to achieve more goals. Also you can pay small fee to get copper membership since this is also quite cool and you will get a custom title on your account.

You don't have to be a Legendary member to be considered as a real asset of the forum. Your posts and your contribution combine together to make your name and reputation on the forum.Quote

You should learn about security too. Because cryptocurrency is on digital environment so there are risk of hacks, wallet compromise etc. To be safe, you must have good knowledge about security and good practice in order to keep your devices as cleanest as possible.Practice well will help you to prevent unexpected harmful exposure of your devices to potential threats.

Why should anyone be ashamed of being a newbie, either in real life or here on a forum? We all started from scratch and were a newbie at one point and at least that’s something we have in common. Rank does not determine how important or significant someone is on the forum, because there are Legendary or Hero members who have earned less merits than you (excluding airdropped merits). Realistically you were more successful than them if we took merits as a measure of value.

This is a good way to think, and it would be good to have more beginners who would think similarly. Old members are slowly leaving the forum for one reason or another, and sooner or later some new members will take matters into their own hands, and maybe you are one of them
