[Guide] for Newbies to Learn faster about This forum

[Shamm]

As I see within this month there are many newbies/newcomers to our forum asking for help so I decided to make this thread so they don't have to look for a long time in other board, So I collected some links here to facilitate their study in the forum.



As a Newbie/Necomers before doing something we must know first what are the rules and regulations in this forum.

Rules and Regulations https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

After we read and understand the rules and regulations we proceed to Ranks, Activities and Merit.

Rank and activities: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0
Merit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

Now we know what are the importance of Merits in our New Ranking systems,  then wee decide  to make Thread but before that  we need to study about Posting or making threads.

Newbies Read before Posting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

Making thread is not an easy one we need to be careful because sometimes we make mistake and plagiarized so we need to to put our resources because if you Plagiarized something it causes Temporary banned or Permanent banned. Before we replying someone we need to know how to  (Quote a message, Quoting a lock topics, Avoid Spamming or off topic replies).

Important notice

OP, since you are so hard at work on this subject, let me add a little tip.
Please note that there are violations on the forum, such as transferring merits to your alternate account. Probably many have forgotten or do not know about it. But, DT members have repeatedly added negative marks to users' trusts for such violations. Users sooner or later identify their alternatives, there are many ways to find such accounts, and subsequently, some are very upset about their negative trust.
Therefore, it is not recommended to resort to such dishonest tricks.

I think op should add this one on the list. I do noticed that many forum users have forgotten, didn't know or still remember but didn't mentioned it. Well, I have something to add about this violation since you mentioned about it and I let op add the reason why, this is because it can defeat the purpose of merit system. We all know that theymos implemented this merit system to prevent spammers, shitposter and many more to avoid the ranking up. Take bounty hunters as example, did you see any bounty hunters rank up or received merits many times?.

 Your welcome just continue what you've started,  if you need further clarification don't hesitate asking for help, all seniors will answer/give you an ideas.

[BlackPinker]

Thank you for your summary, I will check them one by one.

When I just came to the forum, I prefer to read rather than reply, so that I can avoid making mistakes.

Of course, I think replying to posts brings me more knowledge than reading, and maybe I will be more active in the forum in the future.

Your welcome bro hope that the links above may help to expand your knowledge about making thread, replying others post and Quoting other post you want to reply.

It's okay  your appreciation on my thread is equivalent to thousand of Merits. I make this in order to help lower ranks cause In my experience it is hard to find more information and others tutorial about enhancing your skill and knowledge because it's located in deferent boards.

How to Quote locked topic
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5204486.0

just want to add. for newbies or members who have been here for some time. if you are having a hard time or it takes too much time to quote a post that includes the author and date on the header. try installing [β] BPIP Extension: user info & extra features add-on/extension, Firefox/Chrome. other than it allows you to easily quote a post on a locked thread that extension has some neat features that you might find useful while you are here in the forum.

Thing about topics like this is that they will drop to 2nd/3d page in a few days, meaning newbies will have hard time finding it, as same thing happened to many other similar threads here in Beginners & Help section, making your topic kinda redundant. After all, there is already Newbies - Read before posting which is pinned at the top of B&H, meaning it's easily visible for anyone.

Thank you for creating this topic, This links you've provided is all I need for my study about here in bitcointalk.

Yes your right in this thread Newbies -Read before posting there are many tutorial about the Forum guidelines but it is generalize and not including Avoid plagiarism , how to Quote and and how to use BBcodes.

Thing is, that pinned topic is perfectly enough for start, and if  every newbie bothered to check it properly, they would avoid so many mistakes they do, most common one being plagiarism (which is included as a part of Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ. Topics like yours have been made many times before here on this section and disappeared after couple of days so that's why I said it is redundant in my eyes, as same thing will happen to yours, while there is perfectly good starting point there in the pinned message.

Looking at your post history, I would advise you to focus more on learning about crypto and forum in general before making guides on those topics. More often than not, asking a good question worth more than just another newbie guide.

All I shared are what I've learned here in forum as you can see I'm one of those newbies trying to learn new things.
 I prefer to read than asking same question about Bitcoins cause in my opinion all I want to know is already discussed all you need is to find those topics related on your questions.

It's useless. It is useless for him to say something about the fact that the forum does not need additional guidance. There are a lot of guides on the forum from beginners who are most afraid of breaking the rules of plagiarism, etc.

Nutildah asked him to change his field of activity, but as we can see, he remains true to his "lessons"

Ohh! Sorry I forgot my references https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+uni+coin&oq=what+is+uni+coin+&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i59j0i512j0i10i22i30j0i22i30.4256j0j9&client=ms-android-oppo-rvo2&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
This is one of my source

Look what are you doing. You're not adding anything of value to the forum. You're just trying to walk a line between collecting merits and not having your posts deleted as spam.

Write something that other people actually want to read. In your own words!

If you want to get noticed, then write something noticeable.

I understand English isn't your first language and you are at a disadvantage compared to many of us. But you write a lot of posts just for the sake of writing a post -- you don't care if its bad, you just write it for money. And that's bad no matter who does it. It's spam.

OP, it looks like you're only trying for merit. Anyone who is really annoyed by your guides can be advised to start ignoring your topics.

Yeb you nailed it fully , mostly the new Users and Newbies and also other Users are just to lazy to read the pinned Topics.
I already have done some suggestion to highlight them in some color a year ago , but i guess this would be also dont get them to read them first.
If just the half of the new Users in the last year would be readed them maybe this would be safed a few Accounts to get banned.
