I  was expecting a serious post. How could anybody be expected to take this seriously?

It's so frustrating not being able to post or even ask question in certain topics. The whole reason I joined was under the presumption that as a newbie to bitcoin I would be able to ask these so-called veterans about some useful things, instead you end up stuck in a topic just for newbies. Isn't this the exact opposite of what a forum is suppose to be about? Users and members learning from each other? Not just some elitist organization where the senior members get all the perks and newbies, well pretty much just watch them.

Thank you been wondering about this for a while and never managed to figure it out.
