Why is it a newbie is exempt from everything?

Because they are newbies. They are in learning phase which is quite overwhelming if they don't have right mentors. If they don't do any of these things in the start, it's okay. We should be supportive and help them to learn the ways of steem. (:

That is at least a way better start than most of us old Steemians had 👍🍀💕
