Having said that, for the old timers, be somewhat lenient if you think you are dealing with a noob and perhaps guide them a little toward a better course, or reward them a little for when they are delivering what you would like to see more of. It might not be perfect, it might not be polished, but a little incentive and a helpful word can go a long way to turning a noob into a valuable community member. Four years from now, those people are going to be valuable - if they make it through the bear.
Amen.
I was one of those noobs in 2017
