Bitcoin Forum

I have some advice for all new members.  Those who are new make many kinds of mistakes in the forum.  Those who usually make mistakes do not have much knowledge about the rules of the forum.  So I will tell the newcomers to enter the forum and read the rules carefully.

Low quality posting: There are many people who post in forums but they do not post relevant topics, it is a kind of injustice.  So everyone will try to give relevant answers to the topic.  Otherwise the admins will be forced to punish you.

Can't copy-paste: Newcomers usually copy and paste more.  So don't copy someone's post or text from any website. Copying and posting is a big injustice.  If someone regularly copies and pastes and gets caught, you can get a much bigger penalty.

Yeah. It is important not only to write about the understanding that stealing other people's articles is bad but also not to do it. But your words are at odds with your actions. Therefore, the publication of useless topics that you do not understand will not bring you merits, and possibly bring a complete ban on the use of this forum.
Plagiarism (copy paste).

It is not my intention to belittle your efforts, but why do you think newcomers will accept advice from another newbie instead of reading the rules and guidelines left by much more respectable forum members?

Assalamualaikum senior brother. I am new to this form. I didn't know much about the rules in the form when you told me about the post, so I posted it by mistake. And I know the rules of the form now, so I posted to inform the newcomers not to make mistakes like me. And after knowing the rules, I deleted that post. Sorry for posting without knowing.

It's advisable to read the forum rules, but plagiarism is an act which is frowned upon in any educational discussion group as it steals others work and attempts to get credit for it, so one does not really need to read the forum rules to know that. The excuse of, 'I didn't know it broke the rule' doesn't really fly.

Newbies should read this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0) and the included links.

I have been in the forum for so long and I always avoided posting irrelevant comments about a certain topic and made sure that I am not plagiarizing. Some newbies really need to learn about this and they should not disregard it, almost every rule in the forum can save a life one day. It can harm them if they would choose not to notice or pay attention to it wherein they can gain red trust or be completely banned in the forum. It is a wasted opportunity specially if you already have a high rank in your account.

It seems to me that there are too many such topics lately, initiated by new members with tips on how to write on the forum, how to get merit etc.
I think it would be logical for such advice to be shared by older members of this forum, who already have some experience and knowledge about this forum.
I don’t fully understand what the motivation is for posts like this by newbie members who have just come to this forum.
If you are trying to earn some merits, I advise you to write about something that you know specifically or have some real experience.

    I'm newbie here I don't know what are the rules and policies ,but I'm really interested to learn and read the furom so that to know more the guidelines an the other tips.

   Being an observer I learn more interesting and relevant topic. It's important to have a guts and willingness to pursue and encounter the right path.

heres a link to forum rules > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

Put a credit or quote where the original words came from. If you're in need for those words, don't forget to give proper credit or quote to the person, website or wherever you've taken those words you're about to say.

It is important to include that source or link.

If you are trying to get information can from the Internet it's good to put a reference or link after it's no good just getting their idea without a proper credit it's just like stealing.

Also one of the problems of the newbies most likely is to get merit that's why they made a copy-paste just to look quality.

Also just tip if you think answering with a one-liner statement is enough go for it you don't need to put a lot of flowering words as long as it answered the statement.

No point of lecturing the OP anymore, hopefully s/he learns a lesson or two from what message will appear on his/her homepage of the forum. :)

Make sure you give it a good read, otherwise you might end up like the OP here.
Rules were in sticky for a reason.

Hmm.. Please am sorry to say this. But I think you really need the mobile app called "grammarly", so as to check your grammars and punctuations.. Because the grammar in this your statement is indeed way out of hand..

What I would suggest on the copy-paste issue is to go a step further and actually turn that type of posting into a helpful activity that can get you merits. Find a decent post that you feel is of good quality and translate it to your native language on your local board. Articles like those exist on the forum and some of them already have translations, so don't be shy and try it out. It takes some elbow grease, but it's worth it in the end.

And one more thing. Please, just try to find an answer by yourself before you post smth or start new topic. It’s annoying.
Half of yours questions already has answers. This one helped me a lot at the start https://k1pool.com/pool/btg/how-to-start (https://k1pool.com/pool/btg/how-to-start)
Honestly guys, don’t ask about basics, just find some decent guide. We are happy to help you, but not when all you ask is how to start, what crypto is more profitable and etc

@OP, one suggestion for you. Just read more as much you can rather than create a new topic which is really unnecessary. Nothing new on your thread nor useful much. Because many threads have been created to guide newbies by reputed users. If you search about newbie guidelines then I believe many threads will be pop-ups. So you can just participate in an existing discussion. This means we can prevent many spam and fake conversations as well. A few examples already in your thread.

Last but not least, once you care such as a thread and realize that really it wasn't necessary to create then please lock the thread from the lower left. This is what I do.

The habit of claiming another user's posts to be your own without referencing it, is a bad behavior and results to account been banned immediately, copy pasting with references is not a bad idea, because human brain is not 100% perfect, so human needs another person idea to construct a quality post in the forum,  follow the forum rules and regulations and you will enjoy this place for your own good.

One of the bad habits of the newbies when in this forum is laziness to read at first and search for more information in this forum.
Most of them (do not mean everyone is, because there are many newbies also who do have good habits and also become good members here) create an account and directly post here without regard to rules.
In fact, many directly made the thread asking:
- how to make money here
- how to get big income here
- Is ...worthy?
- Is bounty worthy?
- What should Ido in this forum at first?
and many others what and how and how .....  ;D

And when many responses from the members here, they even disappear and do not see or respond to input or answers from the members.
If you keep this, when can you succeed here?
The old members here are always while learning and reading the latest information on this forum, especially the newbies that should be more active.
and Good Luck.  :)

We all know that plagiarizing is always disallowed in many cases especially when it comes in making statement or an essay.

Practice constructing your own thoughts into words, phrases, or sentences so that you and freely express what is in your mind.

That's what you need to improve and if you're planning to plagiarize then it is really a problem for you here in this forum.

It is possible to copy and paste a content, just don't copy the whole of the content and when you done with it you have to included the link of the source or where you get that topic or content. I have done it before where I copy some of it and add my own understanding then provide the link of the site where you copy. It won't be considered as plagiarism since you did not post it as your own. Just make sure you include the source or else it will be a plagiarism.

Any newbie that is able to avoid spamming and plagiarism mean while, takes to quality posting and constructive argument is sure to do well in the forum. These are the measure offences that can be easily committed by a newbie becuase mots times, they believe it would be over looked or aren't really aware of the gravity of the offence and how easily it could be traced  as such, a timer is always tempting but unfortunately, you don't get a second chance to tell the tail. Newbies, be wise and take the forum serious so your aims and goals on the forum would not be short lived. Be your best and do your best and you would be noticed. There is never a dull moment I  the forum, so don't be the dull one.

I use to wonder how do newbie get enough experience to advice a fellow newbie. The advice should instead come from higher members who has more knowledge about this group.  But for the issue if plagiarism should be know about everyone even before joining the group. It is not good to copy someone work without quoting the person. If I am government, I will put prison reward for the act.

No need wondering, there's two possible scenario playing out when ever you see this, first is that that account is an alt. 90% of the newbie that start picking interest in merit, the trust system and basically how the forum is been ran are using alts account probably trying to grow their accounts for milking the forum.

The second is that, not all newbie are newbies per se in the space. They might be newbie on the forum either because they discovered the forum later or saw no need to join when the picked interest in the industry but now find it useful.

The ranks aren't a judgement of your knowledge in the industry instead how long you have stayed on the forum with an addition to how contributing your posts has been not including those that recieved an airdrop of merit when the system was launched.
