When I was a student, I don't recall having a difficult time on CD with the rep system or being taken seriously. For the most part, I just asked questions for help, with the occasional strategy and team organization question. The majority of my posts actually come from Fantasy FIRST. I think Eric Leifermann has a good point though, and today's social media and sites like reddit that are popular with high school students tend to have a lot of constantly refreshing content. When I was a student, i used to browse and "lurk" CD a lot, which I think is perfectly acceptable and, in fact, is a good way of understanding how to post properly and effectively in the community.

The best advice I could give to a student who is making their CD account is to just read the discussions going on and have an open mind before posting; this way the students can understand how discussions happen and how to contribute to the discussion.
