According to this article:

Since their inception in the mid-aughts, both of these forums (Mazafaka and DirectConnection) have been among the most difficult to join — admitting only native Russian speakers and requiring each applicant to furnish a non-refundable cash deposit and “vouches” or guarantees from at least three existing members.
In addition, their administration is exclusively Russian nationals, and all forum posts and communications are done in Russian.

I've heard it said that first day beginners on a wood saw will almost never hurt themselves. Their fear of it, combined with their known ignorance of it, makes them extra cautious.
Veterans of many years are the ones who get too comfortable, and too complacent. I guess the confidence of many years leads them to work a little too closely to the blade.
This might be a universal human trait, across any industry.
