This Forum is designed to reward Reports (where others can give karma), rather than discussion and chat (where you can only get acceptance points). See, for example, the recent discussion here: https://forum.141-hk.com/eforum/viewthread.php?tid=91558
I can, however, sympathise with Newbies. There is a HUGE amount of information in the Forum Guidelines but to actually digest it is a major reading project. But it's all there, how karma and acceptance works, how to give karma and acceptance, how to write good reports that others will give you karma for. How not to piss people off by posting one-liners, lists of abbreviations, hints on punting in various places, etc, etc.
I sometimes look at the Forum Guidelines section and think that it could be made more digestible. Some info is out of date and some useful info is spread over different postss. However, reorganising would be a huge project, so it's not likely to happen any time soon... Just read it all...
Personally, back in 2018, I posted four HK-141Walkup reports on the same day, which was more than enough to get out of Newbie status to RA20. Another three reports got me to RA30 but by then I was on the plane home... Six weeks ago I started posting reports about NZ and after about four of those I was at RA40.
You will, of course, get more interest if you're posting about a location where a lot of readers are actively looking for their next punt (HK, Bangkok, Bay Area, etc). But if you're someplace else there will still be some interest, you'll just need to write more reports to get the same amount of karma... In that case, make sure it will be interesting to people who have not been there, or may be thinking of visiting. Some of us like to live vicariously. 
So:
- Study the Forum Guidelines.
- Read reports and see what generates interest: follow the template; give useful information that would help others find the girl and/or the venue and have a good time; add some pictures from the adverts.
- Study how people reply (with ratings not oneliners) and what is helpful...
- Don't post oneliners (you'll just piss off the members and mods) and don't posts any reply without rating the post you are replying to. This is important, because we get a PM when our post is rated, but not when it is replied to.
- Post helpful replies in discussion topics like this is in response to queries on review threads. You might be able to clarify how to navigate to some obscure location, how to approach communicating with a girl or an agent, etc. If other members recognise that you are posting useful information they will be nicer to you... Just like in real life...
