Forum Skills

[aysg76]

Thank you for your reminder and teaching. I have added hyperlinks to these titles.

Good that you have added the hyperlinks for all the topics made by KingsDen as it is easily accessible by the readers to go to the original post and read it.

If you don’t want to manually create the stats, or wish to surpass the 120 day limit on the profile’s history, you can always use these, which provide similar information (data as of this morning, making the percentages and totals differ from yours):

https://public.tableau.com/shared/TSJC4KK9G?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link
https://public.tableau.com/shared/F4CD34XH2?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

Yes the members can easily get all the stats by visiting your site and get all the desired information at one place rather than doing all the search for yourself as it is time consuming task for members.But with this they just have to fill the username or user id and you get all the details.

On the matter of the so called technical skills, in general terms, things should not be rushed. If one wants to embark on technical matters, the foundations often take years to be built, and it’s not something that can be done in a blink of an eye. One thing is to have a solid base and move from one technical area to another (or programming language to another), but it’s a different matter and pace if the basis have yet to be built.

Exactly no one is born expert or have those technical skills from the beginning.But they have given their time and efforts for the same and now they have knowledge to share with others.Suppose a developer is proposing a BIP he/she would have worked for it and have complete knowledge about the network working and more technical knowledge of programming and how the issues could be solved.So you need to work for that and practice takes time.Work for it not in a hurry but in effective manner and after few years of hard work and practice you could have knowledge for the same to share with others.

wow, this is so cool! ! !

I tried to use Tableau before, but I simply imported the data from Excel into tableau.（Even I thought about putting tableau data in my posts, but I couldn't send pictures so I gave up.） I think I will learn about this software next. I enjoy the process of statistics, data visualization is very important.

(data as of this morning, making the percentages and totals differ from yours):

Sir, I checked the data on your website. This percentage may be the merit data of topic+post, and my statistics are the merits obtained in the topic.

Of course there may be some errors, because I calculated it manually.

For the few months I have been in this forum, I discovered without being told that one really need some digital skills to remain effective and relevant here on the long run. Though, only the knowledge of cryptocurrencies is enough. But someone like me, I am not well knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies, which I know this forum will educate me and has been doing.

When I looked at the service thread, I saw people offering different services of avatar design, signature design, software design etc.

Apart from that, I saw CryptopreneurBrainboss and others managing campaigns and also have own services. I saw DdmrDdmr, LoyceV, Ratimov, Fillippone and others always posting data like number of merits earned, newbies first post, most merit awards, they talk about whitepaper and lots more. I keep wondering how they generate these information. I often wish to join the discussions, but they appear high technical to me . I like being successful in anything I do. Yes, I know success needs commitment and perseverance. Even the aforementioned names have been here for years, hence there enviable knowledge.

Please, is it to early/late for me to start somewhere? I am not that comfortable with only posting and contributing texually here. I need to solve technical problems.
Please, what are the basic steps I will take, what are the basic skills I need now that are not that financial intensive. Because I am still under the trauma and/or defeat of fraud/scam before I joined this forum.

I really need to be a positive energy in this forum in the future. I therefore have to create this thread to get started. I have enough time, apart from being here I don't have things that will take my time offline.

Thank you all.

You don't need to be a  programmer (to provide statistical data ) or a Managerial skills person to become a Bounty manager in order to remain active and contribute to the forum. Even if you can guide the newbies and help the community you can still survive on this forum and the forum will recognize your efforts.
Of course if you have skills you can contribute in a better way but in any case, don't consider yourself left behind of others. Every person is important here including you and me.

I 100% agree with you, @sapnu @DdmrDdmr and what other users said. Learning is an act of compounding and not gotten in a haste. Few days ago, I involved in a neighbourhood casual debate about bitcoin. During the debate, I discovered that I was not whom I used to be 3months ago. I became technical than my mates, I saw myself opposing things I used to propose before. Then I knew I was actually learning from this forum.
Thanks to all.

Hello, How can I post an image? When I try to do it, there is only a link possible to post. But the image is not visible in the post, only a link to the image.

See like this, only a link: https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2015/04/23/22/00/tree-736885_960_720.jpg

Please let me know. Thanks.

This thread isn’t really about forum usage skills, but I’ll answer briefly just the same:
You can’t post an image until you become a Jr. Member (>=1 Merit; >= 30 Activity). If you are in a hurry, you can purchase a Copper Membership.

Life generally is about adding value to where ever you find yourself. It's pretty nice you thought of this and this would also give others visions on services they could also offer the community for its continuous growth. I have been on some digital training lately hoping to graduate soon so I can contribute to the growth of the forum as well through services that would be beneficial to all

Growth is the main factor which we all should consider even on the forum as well as on the forum also because with time if we are not progressing it won't benefit you anywhere.See the topic of the post if Forum Skills which does not imply that you need to have some special skills to be an active member of the forum but what if you have open up an account and simply writing up any irrelevant post which do not enhance any discussion or knowledge of others.So you need to acquire knowledge for the same and that would come up by learning and gaining knowledge from sources.We all have stated at some point on the forum but continuous growth can be achieved by experience, knowledge, practice and passion for the same.

Explore different sections of this forum and you will find out that many gems were hidden of which you are not aware about it.First of all treat this forum as discussion forum not any income source which will help you to contribute effectively and serve a purpose on the forum.Learn technical aspects and contribute to technical development section.If not interested in technical aspects properly atleast try to have some knowledge about it so you can participate in discussion on the forum as bitcoin is decentralised crypto working over internet so you need to have knowledge about it.

Some tips to develop forum skills:

1) Read the guides and threads on the forum which are made by some senior members and try to gain knowledge of it.

2) Comply with the forum rules and don't violate them.

3) Exchange knowledge between members and learn from your mistakes and try to avoid them.

You don't need any special training as it is discussion forum but what you need is knowledge which can be gained if you are determined and interested to do so.You will see growth in your ranks and merit.Just give it time.

Not surprised this thread is been attracted (thread with similar content always get attacked) but I'm surprised the attack isn't related to your topic of creation but your previous topics why is that?

It only shows to me that my threads are of interest to many users, I have to put more effort to be effective, and also keep learning and making learners mistake to give room to my critics.

You have gotten quite a number of merit in the shortest time of you been active and I have just contributed only 12  (that's poor from my end as your posts most have been of quality to get such amount of merits).

The attacks have also made your attention hit my posts which you felt are under merited by you. I see every attack as a blessing in disguise.

Differentiate the advice from the envy, take the advice and work on them.

This is actually the way to go, the advice is loudable and surpasses envy. I actually got nothing for anyone to envy. I believe my best days are far ahead in this forum. This is just my learning stage.

Having said all that, to learn some forum skills, you can reach out to those that already have such skills. Hhampuz can testify to how many times I reach out to him for guidance because I always wanted to be a manager. My post back then revolved around having the best signature experience on the forum while learning and still been a productive users. No harm in reaching out, do so now <wink>.

Thanks sir!
Since I joined this forum, I have always been afraid of using the PM, because I don't know the rules guiding the use of PM, and that is why I have much exposed my weakness to the public and some are willing to ride on them against me.

I like your posts feel free to pm me if you have a question.

Thank you sir for this offer, I am pleased. Just seeing it.
