It's easy to learn if you and other newbie members to read sticky threads. They can learn most of rules and basics and what do they need? Time and readiness to learn.
You're right, dude. If you're new to the forum, I don't think there's any better place to learn more than by reading the linked link. When I first joined the forum, that is where I first learned more about forums, the site's regulations, how to earn merit, and how to avoid some actions that can negatively effect your account. I haven't seen anyone in the forum attempt to bring up how a newcomer is going to learn than to add to the former rules, even though adding another suggestion is not all that horrible.
I'm not saying this because I'm flawless, but rather because I believe the forum's participants have a right to work together to prevent anything negative from happening.
