Bad advice can still be gotten from forum.

While it is true that Bitcointalk is a forum where users can discuss Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it is important to exercise caution when seeking advice on the platform. Forums in general can be a source of bad advice, as anyone can post on them and not all users may have the necessary expertise or knowledge to provide accurate and helpful advice. It is always best to do your own research and consult with trusted sources before making any financial decisions.

There are several ways I used to vet if a comment, opinion or advice is either right or wrong, acceptable or unacceptable. Keeping in my that the term "good", "bad" is subjective. And your acceptance of it may be predicated on your past experiences, and beliefs.

The way to vet some advice for goodness in this forum is to review the history of the user and check for consistency in the pattern of comment or advice given. I also check for the engagement pattern of the user. This would show me the level of depth, and knowledge the user has on the subject.

People with in-depth understanding of the issue are typically the ones who react to questions. Think about technical support or discussion for Bitcoin. The majority of the posts in such sections receive a small number of responses since only individuals with in-depth technical understanding of Bitcoin can answer inquiries and provide their own understanding of the technology underlying Bitcoin.
Because everyone responding to you is educated about what you have requested or can elaborate further for you, I am confident in the reputation of the forum and believe that any information gained from it is firsthand information.
