A brother introduced me to the bitcointalk forum earlier last month. He had minimal experience with the platform, which he taught me and which I fully comprehended. But I'm curious; is there a location where novices can learn more about the forum and how to avoid getting in trouble with my moderators?
Welcome to the forum first of all and your brother had introduced you to the right place where you can have the legitimate knowledge about bitcoin and crypto if you want to have it sincerely.
You have been already told about visiting the rules and regulations thread on the forum to make you comfortable and aware about what to avoid on the forum and how to pave your way on the forum.You could check the pinned threads on each board which are introductory threads for your help so go through them once.

If you have gone through the rules and
Merit and rank requirements thread you would possibly have the rough and basic idea about the forum and rest will come with time and exploration.You simple treat it as discussion forum and make your post by taking part in discussion nothing else.
There is one post made by me in the past where you can check out how to make posts utilising the forum features to make it better :

how to avoid getting in trouble with my moderators?
What kind of problems you think moderators can cause or your brother have faced in the past specifically? Their job is to keep the forum a better place by moderating spam post and remove them if someone report it or take actions if some other issues have been raised as each board has its own moderator.So if you are abiding by the rules and making post then you don't have to worry about them at all.
