Most newbies are only interested to create thread and to rank up and most of them are doing that because of the orientation given to them by their mentors and it is possible newbies should read and make replies to the threads they have reading and ask questions when it is necessary to learn things in the forum but they are busy with creating threads.
Actually, I'm confused why newbies prefer to make threads. As far as I know, when I was a newbie, I've lack of knowledge. That's why I very rarely made threads, I must have enough knowledge to discuss a certain topic. When we make a thread, we also must moderate it, we can't disappear after creating the thread. Nowadays, some newbies created threads, but they never moderate it.
When I was a newbie, I have no mentors. If those newbies have the mentors, it is a strong reason why they prefer to collect merits and rank up as quick as possible. Even if it is not a wrong thing but those newbies missed something that they must enjoy the process to rank up and gain knowledge.
I have seen a legendary member said, when he or she first came to the forum, he was busy reading other people posts for about three months before he created a thread but most of us didn't do that and it was later I also realized my mistakes.
Each member may have a different way to get knowledge. There are people who easy understand every thing, these people don't need a long time to know every thing about crypto and forum. However, it is too early if there are newbies making few threads after he registered few days ago in this forum.
