There are a few places where you can get mentored now, however it can be hard to point new users towards them at first - so we could work on that a bit. steemprentice on steemitchat is a great place fro new users to start.

There are lots of comps around and usually tagged as such so again, just a need to point new users at them for easier rewards and interaction within the community. For example @pappapepper seems to always have a contest of some sort open, it's really great for community engagement.

I do however have to say I don't think there is any chance anyone on here would go for automatically terminating accounts when an account has been inactive for even two years, I think people would see it as a theft of earned funds - for example if you don't use your savings account for a while and the bank closes it and kept the money, would you be ok with that?

Plus without account keys I don't believe they can have access to the accounts to dump the funds back, unlike the bank lol.

I think all new users should just try and jump in, if you don't want to post - read and comment this way people will really remember you.

Thanks for your input though it's always good to throw around ideas :)
