I've already gotten two comments on my profile for posting trash and I don't know why I'm been condemned in such a way but they should also understand that there are people who are trying to do everything all by themselves without having any direction from others and as a matter of fact this is my first forum ever and I am trying to figure things out by myself and want to plead that everyone to bear with me please and don't also hold my worngs against me and I've been confused on what the abbreviation op truly means as I read that it means original poster but it seems it's been used in other context and I want to plead that you pardon me and clear me what it actually means.
I totally understand how it is for you, feeling like you're being bullied here when you're simply just trying your best to make positive impacts on the forum. I was also like you once, when I started on the forum, I also didn't really have proper guidance or someone to help me through the forum so trust me I understand and that's why I'll give you this friendly advice. I don't know how you come to know about the forum or what you were told goes on here, but I believe if you have the right information about the forum then you'll find the forum easy and convenient.
Like always say, the primary objective of this forum is to acquire and exchange knowledge about bitcoin and other things, as a new member, your sole aim should be first to learn and after you've learned then you can have something to contribute to the forum, but if you've not learned what then can you contribute? You've only been here for a short while and I believe you're yet to familiarize with the forum rules and regulations, which should be the first thing you should do, rather than immediately start posting and looking for people to merit your post, I know you're probably saying I'm only a Member rank and this should be coming from higher ranked members but I'm speaking to you from experience, when i joined the forum last year, I was eager to start posting and earn merits until I realized that i was doing the wrong thing and then I dedicated my time to learning first so I can have knowledge to share and to be able to make meaningful contributions to on going conversations. If you go through my activities on the forum, you'll realize that I do more of contributing to other's threads rather than posting or creating my own thread. I'm not saying I'm perfect or I have acquired all the knowledge I need, no but at least I know I'm on the right path and you also should.
