There are newcomers, though, but they often give up because of the RC limitations, or because of the random flagging that is going on. If I would receive 10 downvotes on my introductory post, I would turn around and never look back... :0(

what? Why so many red flags?

I haven't been following up today, but from what I found out it is just a group of accounts (maybe 1 person with 10 accounts) that go around and flag posts and comments. I couldn't find a pattern, so I'm guessing it's just randomly.

Of course it is worse for the newbies than for the veterans...
