I just dont get it. They themselves have simple questions posted ,but they think they can answer any question that gets asked.
Most of the time they are wrong.

Why do users with less than 50 post try and give advice on the newbie forum?

I see what you mean but we can't really put it all on post counts.I guess it's just alot of peeps want to be helpful but some just get ahead of themselves.I think what matters more is how that person reacts if proven wrong or if some one is trying to give correct info.

Just cause your new to a site, doesn't mean your new to growing. I do agree I have seen some whoppers for answers from newbies, but I would hope to think that anyone seeking advice, checks the source of the answer either by viewing others posts by the newbie helper, or waiting (or searching the forum, yeah right) for confirmation. Post count should never be considered a sign of knowledge, or lack of. If I had 5000 post that were just "man, nice Plant", then it wouldn't mean squat, but if you go by post count, you would think I'm "leet". We can talk about it till the end of time however, but it won't change the fact that most people jump with the first answer they get, without checking the answer for themselves. In this age, you can find just about anything on the web anyways.

I used too, only if i was 100% sure and I would always say that i was still abit of a noob. Generally, most of noobs don't do enough reading, and too much posting. Why they do it? Numerous reasons i suppose

Because a 'newbie' could be someone that has grown for decades, or is an expert in whatever field the subject is about. For example, I've been doing HVAC for 35 years, but I've only been growing weed for 6 months. Does that make me any less of an expert in HVAC?
I know what you're saying though. Someone who was just a few months ago, clueless about growing weed now thinks they're an expert cause they had one successful harvest. THAT is fucking funny.

I agree post count does not always = experience.
All i am saying is if your still asking question dont give advice.
I was reading the newbie forum and one guy admitted this is his first grow, and then i see him in another thread giving advice about drying and curing bud. That is the shit im talking about
Noone knows it all and anyone that dosent ask questions is bound to fail. You just have to be smart enough to weed thru the bullshit answers.

Yeah man, I think you are caring too much. I'm with everyone else and agree with you. But really who cares, just correct the wrong newbie and get the right info out there. Don't just let some scrub tear up the forums by giving a lot of false info. Simply correct them, nicely, and everyone is happy. If they don't want to listen.... spark a blunt and laugh at the idiot.

There are members who belong to multiple sites. Mb a noob here but a super stoner somewhere else. Over at icmag I only have like one post. But I also read books not just posts on stoner websites.
