Some avoidable forum mistakes of Newbies

[suzanne5223]

• Neglecting The Forum Rules
• Shit Posting

This is the most often mistake made by newbies.

Neglecting the forum rules is the most repeating mistake of newbies.

I know this is common among the newbies but also have some high rank members who also did something. I don't know maybe the user bought the account or not but the newbies are the only ones who neglects the forum rules.

Majority don't do it on purpose, it is a matter of ignorance.

I agree with this because at some point when the forum needs some correction a certain rule is created by the forum and it's not possible for all members to be aware in time.

Also, it can be because the countries they come from, maybe there are no laws or rules there.

There's no country under the sun that have no laws or rules and regulation.

You are absolutely right. I was just being sarcastic.
What else am I expected to say? If everytime we keep complaining about the negligence of the forum rules. What I understood again is interest and priority. If ones interest is in learning he/she will surely be attentive to forum rules. But if it is more of earning, the reverse would be the case.
Infact, it ought to be in such a way that a user after some months or years as the case maybe will revisit the rules and be sure he still understands and remembers them.

Probably the topic of the inability to use the search and the creation of questions that are discussed thousands of times on the forum is suitable.
Notice how diligently newbies are creating new threads instead of just hitting search and getting a huge number of answers. What do we get as a result? Dozens of topics that could not have been created, being able to search and read.

This should be updated on a regular..... Or should I say they're simply reluctant and lazy to do so.

This is why we should be careful especially newbies to avoid getting banned for not reading the rules. I have seen a forum user did want to rank up but because of being blind by the merit that forum user is now banned and didn't got the chance to appeal to get unbanned but that word alone getting unbanned is almost zero to none. Neglecting the forum rules is what mostly happen to newbies even if you provide a link to the thread of foru rules.

[_act_]

I like your article, it is good and can encourage people, I hope newbies and low rank members will read it.

Remember the golden rule, no matter how much coin you have on exchanges or Wallets "Not your key, Not your coin".

What I noticed is that people are using exchanges and they are misleaded by thinking that bitcoin fee is too high, when I am using 0.00003 bitcoin to make payment on my private key wallet, I can see some exchanges demanding for 0.0005 bitcoin or more for fee.  That is why you will see people using exchanges are complaining that bitcoin fee is too high but it is very wrong.

You make a point and you just open my mind about having the habit of revisiting the forum rules because some amendments may have happened but let's be honest we have few high rank members that has this thought which means any member of this forum can break the rules without knowing it.
This reminds me of the plagiarism rules which a lot of high member account were tagged for even when the post was made in the year 2010.

@Fillippone cannot be the researcher for ever.

I saw many young account growing in knowledge, reputation and posting quality over my brief stay here on the forum, and I think that many more are out there, ready to give their contribution to this forum.
Hopefully someone will challenge my “research” so we can both improve.

We can discuss other mistakes of newbies. If there is need to update the thread, I will not fail to.[/list]

• Learn to master the almost impossible [BB Code] syntax.
This is like the 2020-2021-2022-2023 task…

BB code is my major challenge right now and is looking for a way to get more knowledge on that, can you please recommend a good source or materal to learn bb code and how to use it effectively.
2022-2023-2025 is going to be a long time of massive development in various skills and knowledge that we will keep improving upon.

I wish I had.
I am still struggling.
The best BBCode advice I can give you are

• Trial and error: try again, eventually it will work
• don’t give up
• learn from the masters, when you see something you like, look up the syntax they used
• Templates, if you often find yourself using the same syntax (like clickable img with external link), use a template on Google sheet

Thanks for the advice or tips, you already recommended that I should include this in OP. I thought it's somewhat secondary. Not until I saw some users  pointing to it. I am going to include it asap in my next edit.

People who always complain about the forum rules probably don't understand the importance of the rules. Although I am not a person who actively contributes giving merits or creates quality posts, I am trying to obey forum rules at least. I know I ever made mistakes by posting low quality posts and breaking bounty rules, but I learned from it and try to improve my posts now. Every member in this forum can change to be better if he/she wants to understand the forum rules and want to learn from mistakes. But sure it can happen if he/she wants to change their bad mindset and stop complaining.

Yes, everyone can be a good user of the forum if only we all agree to abide by the forum rules. The only problem we have is trying to disobey the rules or to bend it.
If you sincerely check, the problems that arises in the forum such as shit post, ban evasion, account farming, bounty cheating are all pointing to disobeying the forum rules.

I have added the BBCodes to the OP, I think it's cool. I have learnt more while researching for the appropriate thread to link to it.

[nurilham]

Yes, that's right, this forum has rules that every member here must obey and if they are violated, they will get sanctions. There are some restrictions as said, therefore before joining this forum it would be better if we read and understand the rules of this forum. There is a lot of information that can be obtained and learned in this forum because there are also many experienced people here who share their knowledge and experience, of course, it will help beginners to learn especially in the crypto world well. What is certain is that if we can respect an existing rule then we will also be facilitated in all matters.

[Rockstarguy]

The truth is that some newbies can't avoid all the mistake because they find it difficult to bend to certain rules. But with time they learn from their mistakes which makes them grow in the forum. Their are only few newbies in the forum that tries to follow rules, this set of newbies it maybe before they came into the forum they may have been in a place like this before, so they have that matured mindset to keep to rules.

[Trojane]

I stumbled on these thread and read thoroughly for some time even though I never had much time to do so..
To be honest, I have learnt alot, yeah
 @lovesmayfamilis, his point about merit distribution is understood and I was expecting you'll go into deep comprehension then maybe suggest something in addition  but you were somewhat absurd.
 @kingsden, there is always time for everything no matter how interesting something is; a time will come that a new race of trusted newbies that have built both thier patience and emotions along side with their accounts will emerge and clean up most of the shitty stuffs and stand in the gap for others ...
Lauda' left,
Vod and other reputable members left too, they all had replacements over time...

"These word shall not be forgotten"

"These word shall not be forgotten"

I wasn't here when Lauda left, so I don't know the circumstances behind his/her exit.
I wasn't here also when Vod left, but the wave of his exit was still on when I joined the forum. I read that it was related to some traumatic scandal or damages.
But I witnessed the exit of Nultidah. Infact I don't believe that he has exited though.
I agree with you that the system has a way of feeding itself.
But one thing is sure, any successful new era newbie is/was made by the forum. So, the forum can also kill or mare a promising good user.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Lauda' left,
Vod and other reputable members left too, they all had replacements over time...

"These word shall not be forgotten"

They are those guys contributed a lot here and made significant contributions on forum. If Lauda still herr for sure there are lots of newbies that gonna be ban for their repeatable mistakes. We all know how harsh Lauda can be sometime but she is always on point and probably want a clean forum. Anyway, just a thouht.

Nice thread OP. Beginners should scan this.

What are shit post please ?

shit post are those response that is irrelevant, actually that doesn't have connotative and denotative. In another hands shit post is a sentence that have no mean or no support for contribution, newbies especially, are meant to read and understand before responding to any thread to avoid making a shit post.

Having seen this several times, I require a quick response to this question please.
I think once or twice,I have seen @ Mr Pharmacist.....I see he dislikes shit post.
Thanks for this, I'll keep them at me finger tips.....I think this should be updated on a regular,that is once or twice in a month so more newbie's can come across this.

not only The pharmacist that dislike shit post, many more in the community don't like someone who's suggestions is full of shit, it's better to research and digest what your read before making a composition, while many people such the beginners adventure into making meaningless post is because much of them are inquisitive to make a post that will elevate them.

Shit posts are as harmful as spamming it drained the forum resources and are also not of value for the members of the forum as it is meaningless and off point, so the newbie stage is the stage we learn how to identify and avoid shot posts.
We still have some DT members who are as active as @pharmacist in bursting shit poster off the forum.

I don't know for sure but I think the real newbie will make some worthless posts. Since I experienced that, I used to be very hesitant about writing and how to comment. I really feel very stupid.
But when I've known and learned a little bit from my seniors I try to imitate how to write, comment and try to write as best I can. But beyond that there are those who do not seem to want to develop and most writing does not make sense. Maybe they are just chasing the number of posts, I also often find in local forums and I used to do directly report to the forum moderator through the link that has been provided.

Naturally, a genuine newbie will likely make newbie mistakes and as the newbie grows he/she will continue to learn in the process. That is the reason I put up the topic so that newbies can learn from others mistake.
But some newbies do not mind, especially the ones I am seeing in BH board recently. They don't care to read but rather opening low quality topics 3 times a day like breakfast, launch and dinner.
