Title: The stigma of being a newbie or just a total blunder post?
Post by: BTCOIN_COMADO on November 04, 2025, 01:24:17 PM
Being new to the platform and trying to communicate and make valuable inputs can be a bit tricky but how can one distinguish between making erroneous posts and simply being underrated by OGs due to the newbie tag?

I got my post deleted without any corrections directed to me through a message and that feels sad! This does not mean I demand an explanation for every actions taken by the moderators but a sincere call for the opportunity to learn and grow.
I wonder if I am the only one feeling this way or something is off somewhere  :-\

I've seen your deleted post, and perhaps someone reported it. My assumption: your post only briefly touched on the topic of Bitcoin, but the main point was a reference to a website that I don't think is related to Bitcoin (I didn't click on it).
Mods rarely move topics to their proper boards, especially if the report being handled doesn't suggest it. Therefore, your post will be deleted.

I'm sorry about your experience, and particularly how you feel now, it could indeed make you feel unwelcoming. But what I can assure you on this forum is that no one is stigmatising newbies, and I've even merited a newbie this week since the post was constructive enough. We see many of such posts with newbies daily, which is why some of them even grow very fast. And since you couldn't furnish us with that post anymore, for it is deleted, I can only encourage you to do more. The issue could be the quality or a result of some other minor errors/infractions. I encourage you to work on that.

Hope to see you in higher ranks in months. Good luck!

Thank you for carefully checking through. The user reported my post because of his quick assumptions - for example, the post was not about the link, I only added the link to point to us that it is one of the sites indicating information regarding the use of Blockchain by other companies and to further drive home my point that such sectors wouldn't have such knowledge if Bitcoin never broke through using the technology. It was for explanation with a link to proof authenticity, not a click bait.

Have you read the forum rules? If you haven't, the answer to your question is probably hidden there if you know what the deleted post is about. It is true that the post deletion notice does not explain exactly why the post was deleted, but in most cases it is justified. In addition, moderators generally do nothing by themselves, but act on the reports of other users, so if someone was of the opinion that your post deserved a report, and if the moderator deleted it, it only means that there is a high probability that the report was correct.

I would advise you not to pay too much attention to such things, because beginners are not a priority target for moderators, it can happen to everyone that their post is deleted.



By the way, I see now that you haven't read the forum rules because you broke one right now : 32. Posting multiple posts in a row (excluding bumps and reserved posts by the thread starter) is not allowed.

There is no newbie tag and there is no more newbie jails.

Forum has user ranks and below Newbie rank, there is a Brandnew rank, and other ranks above newbies.
Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0)

How to write posts so that they are valuable and get merit?
Welcome message (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036308.0)

It's not too hard for ranking up, but the challenge is whether you are able to write good posts consistently, then some of your consistent good posts will be merited.

I do not think there is any newbie that this will not happen to, just post good and not mind that your post is deleted by a moderator. If the post deleted is just one out of many that you posted, it is not bad at all. As you grow on this forum, you will understand how this forum is better and also moderators will not delete your posts like when you were a newbie.

If you are new to this forum then it's better to spend more time in reading valuable content already shared here. If you spend more time browsing and reading on this forum then you will get to know how to post quality stuff. There are links already shared in this thread that gives you idea about rules and guides of this forum and everyone of us must read these guidelines.

If any question comes to your mind then first search this forum to see whether it's already asked. Create a new thread only if your query is never asked or discussed here. There are multiple threads in which same question is asked and that's a clear indication that people don't search the forum for their queries.

As a Newbie it will be harder to get your replies read.  I try as much as I can to read replies coming from Newbies but I do also find my self skipping a lot of them because most are spam or sense less replies or Topics obviously written only to write something here.

But I do not believe any of us has any anger or evil intent directed at Newbies.  Like other replies above me say, this is probably because you did not follow the Forum Rules or your post did not have much sense in it.

OP, you should read the forum rules @EarnOnVictor have provided you with the link.

If your post is a low quality post or off topic, it will be reported to the mod for it to be deleted. I believe that was why your post was deleted. Don't feel bad, it's a way to motivate to do better when next you want to make a post. My post was deleted several times when I was a newbie. In fact, anyone post can be deleted when it goes against the forum rules irrespective of your rank.

I dig your post history to find your deleted post.

This one posted in Bitcoin Discussion board, in this board you shouldn't talk about other subject as the main point of the discussion. If you want to talk about pharmacist or medical health, then post it in Off topic board or find suitable forum.

Although from my research Bitcoin is not the originator of Blockchain but it certainly is the first real breakthrough in the utilising of the technology.

After the successful use of the technology demonstrated by Bitcoin in 2009 and the continuity of this success, it has inspired various fields to confidently incorporate the technology of Blockchain into their systems. For example: Healthcare, supply chain management, insurance, real estate, etc.

As pharmacist I will love to concentrate on the health sector in this regard:
Aside the use of the technology in the hospital as a major tool for patient confidentiality, do you know that drug manufacturers have adopted Blockchain technology and that has improved their performance in the medical industry? A typical example is Pfizer - a global powerhouse in drug manufacturing who adopted the technology and their success is testament to the usefulness of Blockchain. Here is a link to one of the articles attributing the success of the company to the use of the technology:
Pfizer
The conclusion of the matter is this:
The success of Bitcoin was and is still a total inspiration to the rest of the world in various sectors!

This one is post in Development & Technical, it's stricter compare to other board. I see you create two posts a row in that thread, but it was your first post got deleted instead of the second post merge to first post. So I will assume it's either low quality or you quoted the whole thread (it's annoying).

Inheritance is still an unsolved problem in Bitcoin, you’re thinking about real-world risks (like heirs not having an address or acting too early). The main limitation is that Bitcoin’s seed phrases don’t have a timer feature, meaning that they either work or they don’t. But developers could design contracts that mimic this via Bitcoin script, for example, with time-locked transactions already discussed on this platform or multi-sig setups where this your idea can apply, by doing this one party being the original owner gains full control.

Not perfect, but definitely worth exploring further.

If you're a quality poster, regardless of your rank, people will still give you your accord without any form of stereotype.

Your rank as a newbie only affects you when you're not posting things that suggests that you lack proper knowledge of bitcoin and the forum. If you have proper knowledge of the forum and bitcoin and your posting style is of high quality, there's no way you're going to be stigmatized just because your rank indicates you're a newbie.

A newbie tag means nothing. You’re a newbie to the forum doesn’t mean you’re a newbie to the knowledge you have before and want to share. No stigmatization against newbies here as other ranks also get their post deleted if it’s not worth being on the board, but theirs is lesser because they know better the kind of posts to be made.

If your post was deleted by the moderators, it means it has something on it that is not important/required to be on the board. Check from those your post deleted and take corrections when making new one in the future. You can also check other posts on this board how they’re being presented, you can also learn and make valuable corrections, inclusions and exclusions when making a new one.

Hang in there...you are not the only one who is feeling this way or have felt this way. Most of us have. Take it as a learning experience because what happens for most of us is that, we become more careful before we make a post. We learn how to do forum writing and how to engage. With time, you will have less and less deleted posts because you would have learn acceptable forum writing and posting pattern. Don't worry, this is just a phase that will pass.

Surely you are not the only one facing this experience everyone here face that problem in one way or the other, if your post is deleted, it's either you posted something that is boardless meaning that such post doesn't fit in to any board. Most post are reported by forum members and if the mod sees reason to move it to the right board, it will be moved to an appropriate board, But if I doesn't fit to any board or even off topic then it will be deleted. The easiest way to avoid deleting of post is to know the right board to post and let your post should be meaningful wether asking question or answering questions.

Well actually if it's about post quality then it's your fault entirely but if it's about placing the right posts in the right board then it's a normal mistake sometimes for almost anyone especially newbies. If you don't want to commit blunder so bad just like you mentioned, try to read posts more often especially pinned ones.

Getting accustomed to posting and boards in general depends on your patience and ability to calm down to actually learn. Not all newbies infact come here with zero information.

You don't have to feel bad about anything here. I didn't get to read your post so I can't really tell what you did wrong. However in this thread,  you have already violated one of the forum's rules that's against posting multiple posts in a row. You should study the forum rules very well so you can be sure you've been doing the right thing. Here are the rules: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0. There are lots of things you need to know there.

Your post being deleted has nothing to with being a newbie as higher ranked members posts are also deleted when they are considered as off topic, low quality or spam. Don't think your post got deleted because you are a newbie that's not true. The moderators jobs are not to explain to users why their posts are being deleted, it is the user's responsibilities to read the rules and know which boards are suitable in making certain kinds of posts that are not off topics, spam or low quality.

It is perfectly normal to be upset when you are new to particular forum, and you are not only one who is puzzled by rules. Difference here is that post is only taken away when it is wrong post, but being ignored newbie only tends to mean that your posts are not noticed by older members. As your post was taken away without comment, it shows unintended breaking of rules, and most best way of learning and growing is to read rules again, read what type of posts are successful by reading previous pages of threads, and begin small by posting clear and relevant comments.

All beginners experience the same fate, the fear of making mistakes. But actually, if you understand how this forum works and read more of the pinned posts, I think you will understand the rules, making it easier for you to post a topic without fear of it being deleted. Everything will feel normal eventually; you should just keep trying to improve and persevere to prove that you are capable of adapting to the forum and being useful for the progress of the forum.

Well, it's never a new thing, though. But as my newbie mate, let's always try and be reading the pinned threads on each board before posting a thread, it's very painful seeing your post deleted and makes one feel sad. One of my threads was once moved to another board by my LB moderator while I was still building up here in the forum. Although I felt so discouraged in creating another thread, which I also told myself that it's a normal thing because I found some useful comments under it which helped me to build up my confidence more, and as I began understanding how things are going on here, I realised my mistakes and I was happy because I had learnt something useful there/here, so posts deleted or moved to off topic are not done just like that, the moderators know better than we the newbies. Advisably endeavour to abide by all the rules and regulations of the forum and know where and what to post, also, improve on your post quality.

The whole discussion can be answered with this sentence: "We've all been newbies, following the same rules and principles".
I'm not trying to be the bad guy, but this experience has happened to most of us and yet, here we are.
Thus, my recommendation is: enjoy the forum, without putting any effort and the result will follow naturally.

The interesting thing is that post deletion isn't limited to beginners alone even, higher-ranked members also experience it. The difference is that newbies and Jr. Members experience it more.

At the end of the day, deleted posts serve as a reminder to all of us reminding us that the forum works on rules, both at the board level and the forum level. As long as we stick to those rules, improve our writing, and contribute value, we reduce the chances of deletion and grow into better members of the community.

 I noticed you have made 17 posts since you registered in August which means that there's been posts you've made that wasn't deleted because they made "sense". Don't feel like you're being attacked because of your rank or probably everyone is out to get you, no, it's just the mods following the rules and just as Pablo Wood stated, post deletion happens to higher ranks as well and so like you observed in your title, it was deleted for a blunder.
I'm looking forward to seeing you grow and not get disappointed or discouraged just because the mods are doing their jobs.

I know you felt bad when your post was deleted,but there's one thing to know that you can do better in other for your posts not to be deleted by moderators.As a newbie in this forum,I would advise you to adopt a thick skin because if you don't have a thick skin you might always feel attacked when you're opinions aren't valid,we know newbies have little knowledge about the crypto space and the forum, that should even be more reason for you to learn and grow.Let me share my own experience when was a newbie,then my posts were not constructive and it was always on delete,but when I developed a thick skin and decided to put more effort on my post that was when I started growing.So I would advise you to put more effort on your posts and watch how you'll grow in the near future.
