There are many people who say that creating quality posts makes you receive merits and there are also some who says that this is common advice for every beginner, I don't get some member who seems like they don't agree on some members with low rank who posted the advise even though they are saying gold things, not just because the member is low rank it doesn't mean that they don't have good things to say. It is the knowledge that they have and not the rank they have with this forum. ccontribute, let us respect each and every one no matter what ranks they have.
I also observed that traits here, which leads to confusion and resentful to us newbies. It seems that when you are a beginner/a newbie, you always tend to be bullied and being bash by many no matter how good your posts is. Well, we cannot really pleased everybody. I guess, aside from sharing good and quality topics, we also need to have a fighting spirit and more and more patience as we go along. I just hope that people would realize that newbies are also the future of bitcointalk.
I agree with you, regardless with all the ranks and amount of merits, equal respect is definitely important for we are all humans here I believe. Lastly, aren't those with higher ranks also started as newbies? So, lets just be patient and keep going. We can also contribute in this forum in our own ways and we'll get there one day.
