Ask a Legendary Member whatever you need to know about the forum

[seoincorporation]

Hi there!
From the last two weeks, we have been discussing a lot about how to improve the forum, how to help others to rank-up, etcetera.
That's why I have come into my mind to create this topic, with the goal of understanding what are the most common worries of the newcomer in here, what do you need to know about the forum itself, what you just can't understand.

There go some rules:
- The questions are meant to be about how the forum works.
- You can ask whatever you need to know about the topic, but if you go off-topic probably you will get no answer.
- Please try to use understandable English, it doesn't need to be perfect but try your best.
- Do not beg for merits, it only will have as a result to end on my ignored list.
- Feel free to ask, nobody is going to judge in here.
- You can also answer other's questions if you feel you know the answer, no matter the rank.
And... Welcome!

Well said. But newcomer is too lazy even read rules on pin post. Those thing you are mentioned on your post that almost answer are on pin post. They just come and start question. I can't remember how many topic I saw last few days since I joined " how to earn merit" . Actually maximum new people coming here to joined bounty. That is true. They don't try to understand before earn we should learn. We need change mind first. Lot of seniors member here for help any question. But people always make similar question. I will request to all new members before posting please read at least rules on pinpsot. We are a family we should help each other.

Maybe, but I'm just concerned about what are the initial questions, even the "feeling" of the newcomers. If nobody read the rules, then it is information to me. My point in here is to try to wear a newbie's shoes for a while, I'm in here trying to understand the general mindset. If they asked me about the pinned posts, that's ok, maybe those are too difficult to understand for a newcomer; if they ask me about merits, that's ok. As I said, I don't want to judge, I just want to know the newcomer's mindset. Look at that as a "social experiment", in which my goal is to be able to see something I am probably missing. In fact, if no one asks anything, I will have my answer too.

Can I ask a question?
There are a rule: Dont reply info for bounty/aidrop application unless they require. But this airdrop https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4547440.0 require post proof of completion in the ANN thread. So will I get ban? Thank you.

This is against of forum rule bumping the thread by forcing people. They should be ban. Even you will not ban but may be you will be taged if saw some DT due to bumping. Better avoid this kind of airdrop.  There is many legit airdrop you can participate. BTW I will open a thread about them with investigation.

Besides what Coolcryptovator has said,

I've checked out the airdrop you mentioned and I have two things to say:
- In the first place, the airdrop is apparently being run by a newbie account.
- In the second, the user, PinPaid is breaking the rules by copy-pasting the same all over the forum, so I've just reported it.
To be honest, I encourage you to stay far from this. If you want to join a bounty or an airdrop, it is better if you check first the user running it. In this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4412712.0 you will find some trusted managers.

Thank you two, seoincorporation and Coolcryptovator. I have not joined this airdrop yet. I think this violate the rule and post by a newbie. Fortunately, I see your post soon.

I'm glad we helped you. If you have any other question, feel free

1)I have recently reported few posts( good project, great project, to the moon bla bla bla) in ANN threads which I believed didn't add any value to the conversation. But one of my report marked as bad and I want to know why?

2) is there any way to know when I got a reply for a thread that I have posted without login to the forum?

3) is there any way to know when someone quote my posts in the forum? If yes then how and if not what is logic behind the admins avoding such kind of  modifications to the forum which I believed very important for a modern day forum?

4) Is there a way to avoid google recaptcha thing? Because most of the time i am using my mobile to log bitcointalk and when it comes to logging even I couldn't zoom out to solve recaptcha thing and it pops out again and again, trust me it's really annoying when login through mobile. Any solutions?

P.S. - I have put all the critical issues that I got currently in a one post since I don't want to get other members space by creating separate posts per each question. I think you didn't mind it

It happens to me too  ... I have some unhandled and 3 bad but do not care too much about that. Even when I don't know the reasons of why are they tagged as "bad", probably the mod has one. There are too many minds in here, so keep reporting, that helps a lot.

2) is there any way to know when I got a reply for a thread that I have posted without login to the forum?

Yes, you can go to your profile even when you are not logged in, and see your post history. You will not be able to see not your merits history neither your watchlist, but you will certainly be able to see your posting history and check if there is something new in there.

3) is there any way to know when someone quote my posts in the forum? If yes then how and if not what is logic behind the admins avoding such kind of  modifications to the forum which I believed very important for a modern day forum?

As far as I know, no, there isn't. But I have the same question if someone has dug in it and found a solution, please, help us!!!
I always go to my profile and check my lasts posts to see any answers to my topics. It is kind of messy, but if you manage well your watchlist, you will see how useful this tool is.

4) Is there a way to avoid google recaptcha thing? Because most of the time i am using my mobile to log bitcointalk and when it comes to logging even I couldn't zoom out to solve recaptcha thing and it pops out again and again, trust me it's really annoying when login through mobile. Any solutions?

No, it isn't. The captcha thing is designed to avoid bots to log into the forum automatically. I'm sorry, but it is a necessary evil.

P.S. - I have put all the critical issues that I got currently in a one post since I don't want to get other members space by creating separate posts per each question. I think you didn't mind it

Of course not. I'm sorry if some of my answers are vague, but I don't have any solutions for the replies and quotes stuff. Maybe the next new forum will be less "messy".
Thanks for your questions

Nice initiative Seoincorporation. It will be interesting to see what goes on in this thread overtime, so I’ll keep a curious eye on it… Just don't leave aside you contributions to other forum sections which always bring something inherently interesting.

Thanks!!! Of course not, I will be around here, but, you know, I was just curious precisely since I read this quote from you:

I was just browsing through this thread when a young close relative strolled in. He sat by my side for a minute and overlooked what I was reading, quickly pointing out the following on the spot:

- The first anime character is from Guilty Crown.
- The second one is Sakura Chiyo.
- They are talking about genders (on the thread) as if there were only two: there are at least thirty (and around 300 sexualities).

Having said that, he left the room and went back to his reading ...

Times change, and younger generations may or may not get into crypto, but at least I can get my hopes up around here for some of them having a broader view of life in non-Boolean ways.

When I read it I began to think about all the things we are just taking for granted about our own perception regarding newbies and their concerns. I feel that, somehow, when you spend enough time in here you absolutely can see the things in a really different way, and it becomes more and more difficult to walk in other's shoes. That's why I'm interested now in trying to understand what a newcomer has in his/her mind, for, by knowing them, maybe we can help some and also the forum.

Thanks a lot for your kind words, my friend!! I hope you also stay around and help me to answer some of the questions if more coming.

Please I wanted to ask, if there is any thread that someone can learn programming from. I have been looking around for such threads for a while now. I would like to purse a programming career.

Do you mean programming in general? Well if that is what you actually meant, in here you will find some bitcoin or crypto related programming, but most of all in a very specific way (mostly related to bitcoin or cryptos, of course, since you are in a bitcoin forum  ).

If you just want to start programming since the very beginning and in different languages, take a look at this website: https://www.codecademy.com/
You will find many free courses in CodeAcademy regarding programming.
Hope it helps

Thank you very much. I am starting on a whole new level I will follow the link and hope i learn from it. I will as well keep you posted on my progress.

You can also be banned, Sometime Mod trash these kind of threads and nuke all the user replying to it. As Collcryptovator pointed tagging by DT member is also possible. Trust in this forum is not moderated and if you once tagged then only that guy (now you are in discretion of the sole judgement of that user) can remove that tag.

[nngella]

This might be a dumb question, but, I just want to ask how to bookmark a post?
Or are there any option in Bitcointalk regarding bookmarking a post?

Thank you.

[jonsnow23]

Can u give me advance tips/strategies on how to check ICO if its legit or not?

[SuiMikira]

Hi there, thanks for your help topic.
Sometimes when i made a google search and there were some results linked to a bitcointalk topic. But when i clicked on that links i couldn't access as it said this topic is limit to you. So i want to ask are there limit topics which only some specific people can access? If there are, could you tell somethings about that topics, if you have the right.
