Recently i have observed that some new from users are unable to develop consistency in their contributions maybe because they feel that their opinions are not relevant ,lacks quality and many more .
Most of the newbies are on the forum for a reason, and if they notice they are not achieving it, then they will give up. Most of them are just joining the forum because they want to rank up, they do think getting merit is kind of easy, but when they start posting and they are not receiving merit, then they will get discouraged and they will give up. So you shouldn’t blame anyone for newbies not being consistent on the forum here.
The forum is actually a very tough place ,but the only way to survive its toughness is when you are consistent in your contributions ,patient and also try as much as possible to eliminate phobia .
Why do you say the forum is a tough place? I don’t see anything tough in the forum here, there are rules and regulations guiding the forum, and if you can follow them, then you won’t have any problem. The only people who think the forum is a tough place are those who are desperate and looking for merit, but if you are here to learn, then you will see that the forum is an easy place.
furthermore, don't feel that your opinions are not noticed ,they are actually noticed and recognized but just know that nothing good comes easy and don't be discouraged maybe because you have not been merited .
If you are a newbie, don’t think your opinion is useless because of your rank. High ranks do learn from low ranks, just that you might not notice, so don’t be discouraged from making your opinion because you think you are low rank. Everyone started as a newbie, and with time, we all grow.
