You are welcome to BTT my brother, and I hope you are a Nigerian because this board is dedicated to Nigerians only. And of course, there are many rules guiding the forum that you and any other new members should strictly adhere to. These rules have been guiding my path and doings, and I know you would be just fine with them.
In this forum, one thing that should be ringing in your head is '
quality,' if your posts are quality, you would not have any issues here. Mind you, merits and activities are needed for you to rank up in positions. However, with quality posts, you will get your ranks as and when due. So nothing to be worried about. The beginning might not be encouraging though, but with time, you will get acquainted with the community and will be just fine. I started just in July this year, and I am doing fine, so I believe you can too.
Without wasting your time, please feel free to check the links below, they should be of help to you.
