Can't these storyboards be disguised better?

Baron...just read this in italics below....What am I to think? We get this same storyboard slightly different several times per week. Can't it be changed up a little? What would you think if you saw this same story often? If ET is not doing it are people playing games?...perhaps fishing for experienced traders? what could it be?
Look I want ET to have a lot of posts and readership probably more than most here as ET is a part of my trading life. I want to preserve ET and the experience here...
You know more than most I speak from my heart and I am always honest about my feelings...maybe brutally so. I apologize if I have offended anybody here and you Baron I do not want to offend you as I consider you my friend.
Hello, all,
I live in US and I started day trading in March this year. I don't have a margin account, so I put $3000 in my Robin hood account, I initially played $300 on single trade so that I could buy and sell for more than 3 times a day without needing to have a margin account with at least $25,000, I played up to 3 times a day, if I won 4%, I would just stop trading on that day, and I won mostly, about 80% wins, if I was not winning, I got out with roughly 1% loss. I made a rule that I will only move to trade $600 on single trade once I make 20% profit on the $300 per trade, it turned out that I reached 20% too soon in about 20 days, then I changed my mind and only allow myself to double the money on each trade if I can reach 40% profit, eventually, I was able to reach $120 with $300 per trade and I started to use $600 per trade starting May/2018 with a total fund of $6000. This time, it was much quicker, I reached 40% profit in 3 weeks, got $240 in total profit on the $600 trades. I started $1200 per trade, so far, I have gained another $200, it has been 3 weeks. I do think I am probably doing well(I am still doing a lot of paper trading every day) but I am not an expert of day trading, if you could give me any insight, opinion, it will be very helpful to me and very much appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

- What if Baron is every ET member - except you.
- That would make a good Twilight Zone episode.

Is it possible that many new traders who post questions on blogs have the same, fundamental questions? "...fishing for experienced traders?" that is one way to put it, another way might be "fishing" or looking for information. I remember a poster a few months ago who asked many basic questions but seemed to have more knowledge of things then he let on. Further, he never seemed to reciprocate in way meaningful way to the massive amount of good information he was getting. By reciprocation, I mean taking the time and to answer other poster's questions. This poster had experience trading and could have answered basic questions himself or provided some follow up posts on how his trading was going. I decided early on to continue to respond to his posts for the potential benefit of a larger audience.

I wonder if there might be some organizational and content related changes that could boost viewership and participation. For example, maybe we should have a well written beginner sticky thread or guide, like on babypips.com. Perhaps we can have categories that include specific trading styles that also have a initial post sticky of basic information on that style. This theme would have solid "core" information at the beginning and would develop as other participants post to that thread.

We have a great group of people here on ET and fair number of them have very impressive backgrounds. It would be great if they would be willing to participate in some of the potential organizational changes I mentioned earlier.

If you see something, say something. Hopefully your concerns, even if slightly misplaced, will lead to positive changes.

At least this is more that the usual two liner questions we get. One should remember when answering a question, there is large audience of people that includes people from different countries, backgrounds, ages, and experience.
Like with most things, the effort we put into something will reflect what we get out of it.
