Can you recommend a forum where a new user wanting to buy bitcoins for cash would be more appropriate.
I don't think there's any forum for this. It'll only be abused by spammers.
For Bitcoin transactions, there's
Localbitcoins. That site is designed to handle those transactions a bit more secure than just meeting random strangers. It's still risky though.
I understand there are scammers about. I'm not looking for a one off trade with somebody I just want to grow maintain relationships with people who want to cash out so we both get better rates - I get you people may find that hard to believe but I would get nowhere if I didn't try.
That's what all scammers say, and that makes trying trying this more or less useless. Even if you're not a scammer, chances are you'll be contacted by scammers. Most likely on this board, two scammers will each try to scam the other party

I believe you are right.
I thought this would be a fruitless effort going off the first couple of responses, but who knows maybe the right miners or seller's for cash will see this and send me a message.
I actually haven't even been contacted by scammers either you know so maybe my pitch isn't even good enough for them hahaha. I'll pay 1%!
