You just highlighted my point at the end of your conversation, I practical wrote "for newbies" as the subject because of the newcomers in the forum, taking a tour in the forum doesn't mean you will not ask questions in anywhere you don't understand, I have witnessed many cases of people in this forum that started and was very confused, some asked how the forum works and where and when they can post articles, that is the reason I wrote the article.
And I agree to your point, you stated that as a fresher or newbie, one is expected to go through the forum so he/she can understand how it works...
And also knowing the rules in the forum as a newbie is very important, so as one can not breake the rules or getting a negative Karma for what he/she do not know.
For example we all know that the forum is against Plagiarism, so as a newbie you can not know about that except you're told or you take your time to tour round the platform...
