Why newbies get banned

[Frankolala]

I recommend all newbies to stick with this beginner and help sections for days before thinking of other sections of the platform, By so doing. You gradually become a pro in your area of specialization.

Newbies that thinks the forum is for making money and not getting knowledge about bitcoin will end up been banned. They will not take their time to read about the rules and regulations in the forum, which should be first, before posting or reading anybody's post. Beginners and help is not the only section for newbies, newbies are advised to visit beginners and help board so that they can know the basic concept of bitcoin.

There are other boards which you will have an idea on more than on bitcoin,such as local boards, economics, politics and society. Most newbies don't even know that there is a local board in the forum,where they can ask their brothers how things are done here,when they finds it difficult to read. If they are here to make money,that is when they will be eager to get merit,since they know that merit comes by posting. Sometimes plagiarism becomes their next option.

Not all newbies are that unserious because they have something in particular that has brought them to this forum, you don't have to be an established member before doing what is right should be expected from you, we have newbies in thier numbers staying on the forum after they have learnt alot and got themselves improved, if they post on the forum, it will give more meaning than an established member who don't work on improving self by anymeans.

A lot of newbies generally think that Bitcointalk is some complex platform that you really need to study; but in fact, no — you really don't need to know the deep ins and outs of Bitcointalk. You simply just need to not spam and to not plagiarize, and you'll be totally fine.

I owe the forum and my brother to have introduced me to the forum a lot of thanks. Apparently, he became my first mentor and I don't know most persons to be that lucky but, he practically pushed me all the way through by encouraging me to always be myself in all that I do on the forum. Yeah, he explained some basics but, later on, I found the forum to be just somewhere to live out of the metaphysical.

Your username and character you attach to it defines your personality. Most of all, everyone in the forum are for you and against you at the same time. You just endeavour to keep the forum rules and be safe. It gets easier as you participate.

^What's far more important is your knowledge with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Bitcointalk is just an online forum just like any other online forum. You can go as deep as understanding the forum's software code but it would be useless if you don't know crap about Bitcoin/crypto.

You are definitely right- most newbies tend to overcomplicate this forum and think of it as something that is punishing, yet this platform is very rewarding.

There are tons of posts guiding newbies to the forum. Rules are pinned in order for them to read all the do's and dont's on this forum. Like any other platform, there are rules that have to be followed in order to preserve the integrity and quality of this forum compared to others.

When newbies fail to adhere and follow the rules posted, then they cannot argue against this decision. Like any individual, it is your responsibility to follow certain rules in order to avoid sanctions being tendered.

[AakZaki]

Many beginners come to this forum and don't read the rules first, so many posts that should be clear are asked again. this happens over and over again. All help can be searched, they forgot the search feature is still there in this forum.
The newbie who got banned must complain and say that this forum is too strict, even though he is the one who doesn't understand the forum rules.

They come to this forum because they are interested in bitcoin and also because they want to get strong and set aside the rules.

Plagiarism is a very big sin
What ever you get from the internet, or you're not the original poster, please reference the originator of that very post  and always include the link if you have one, it helps a lot stay away from being banned.

When writing, try as much as possible to punctuate your writings, as this also aids clearer understanding of your message and a clearly passed message fascinates merit giving.

If I have a full member so I didn't get this rank suddenly after registration. I was a newbie first. Then get the higher rank.

This forum is not difficult to use. It has the rules. Follow the rules you will definitely stand here. Try to share experience and also get experience of others.

Let's take a look mostly what the newbies do?
1. At first their biggest mistake is that they don't read the rules.
2. They try to cheat the system.
3. Plagiarism.
4. Spamming.
5. Make Alts.

If they will make these mistakes they will definitely get ban.

With the subject matter above, Instead of chasing recognization, my advice to newbies is to get acquainted with the platform. Educate your self in some certain areas and topics. This is necessary for daily improvement and investment growth. Do not rush, take it a step at a time, by so doing the recognition you chase will be placed before you.

I recommend all newbies to stick with this beginner and help sections for days before thinking of other sections of the platform, By so doing. You gradually become a pro in your area of specialization.

lazy is the root of the destruction in this forum, those who are lazy to study and read will make spam posts - out of topic - even plagiarism in the hope that the post is recognized by other members, even though it is the beginning of a bad reputation/banned.
it's important for newbies to learn how other members who are more senior make posts, then develop the quality of your posts based on what you see and learn from that member's posts.

Of course, without good knowledge one would find it very difficult to discuss anything reasonable. They don't really need to be experts, but they just need to know the rules of the game so they don't break the rules.

it's important for newbies to learn how other members who are more senior make posts, then develop the quality of your posts based on what you see and learn from that member's posts.

Not only newbie, there are even many users above who also continue to make mistakes and they really have to learn, as in the case of the discovery of 2 Full Members who committed plagiarism and led to a permanent ban.

This means that every user regardless of rank must learn and keep learning to avoid mistakes. It doesn't have to be about big mistakes, small, meaningless mistakes also need to be avoided like posting low quality.

Just to get a quick sense of the ranks of recently banned accounts, I’ve taken a look at those banned over the last 4 weeks or so, making it 154 accounts. Those accounts correspond to the following ranks:

rank   nAccounts
Brand new   128
Newbie          15
Member          7
Full Member    3
Hero Member  1

Now the above is just a sample over a set of over 305K accounts (possibly incomplete) that have been banned at some point. The numbers obviously do not depict the motive, but it’s a small window into how banning is in terms of numbers nowadays, which is seemingly small compared to other historical points in time.

Note:
Brand New accounts on the above list are likely Nuked accounts. Nuking an account deletes all the account’s posts in the process.
I belive it can only apply to accounts with less that 30 Activity points (not 100% sure), but not all banned accounts with less than 30 Activity points are necessarily nuked (I've seen a bunch of counterexamples).

Amazing, I just realized irrespective of the rank, an account can still be banned if found guilty of breaking any of the forums rules, To be honest, this is fair enough, I think this is credible per say, there's simply no cheating of any such, nor protective services for higher rank members for breaking rules, this will encourage everyone to be serious with their activities as well as duel diligent research before posting

Yes, an account of any rank can be banned if they are caught plagiarising or spreading malware. But mind you that every decision made by the moderators are handled on a case by case basis, meaning a user might not be banned (or may be unbanned after initially being banned) because of their contribution (not necessarily rank) to the forum, such users are net positive to the forum and they might likely be giving another chance than a user that's a spammer. Having said that, there are other factors that could get a user's ban overturned, such as: having plagiarised just once, unintentional plagiarism, no intention to earn or boost activity score with the copy/pasted content, etc, but overall it is a better decision not to plaiarise at all.

Exactly, is not till you fully understand bitcoin. Just be careful to prevent plagiarism, spamming, and other forms of infringement. Also, while responding to a topic, make sure your reaction is in line with what the topic is stating. Avoid breaking the laws and regulations, be sure to read the rules thoroughly and appropriately, and make sure you take advantage of the forum to study and learn a lot.

They come to this forum because they are interested in bitcoin and also because they want to get strong and set aside the rules.

The first thing that becomes the foundation is to understand and apply all the rules in this Forum. The forum rules are clear, every member who joins must follow the characteristics of the forum.
Even though the BTT Forum is open to anyone who wants to join, it cannot be separated from the rules that must be obeyed to exist here. There is no favoritism towards anyone regardless of rank. Banned is not only for newbies, users with higher ranks cannot be separated from this frightening punishment.

Newbies who have just joined need to be equipped with the intention to move forward and try to stay consistent by following all the rules in the forum. One of the many reasons that make newbies willing to set aside the rules because the motivation is to immediately promote to a higher rank, maybe they are tempted by the success of seniors who have been accepted in the Bitcoin paid signature campaign.
Newbies must be able to maintain their reputation from the first time they join, before reaching higher dreams, they must focus on increasing their knowledge in order to achieve their goals.

You don't have to worry about getting banned if you never make a mistake and break the rules. Again, tires cannot be given carelessly if they do not make serious mistakes such as plagiarism, ban evasion, regular forum spamming and several others. Even scammers aren't banned for trying, it's because the forums don't moderate scams.

So don't take a ban as a threat, but it is the most likely consequence in users who commit serious violations. So I don't think you and anyone need to be afraid when you don't commit an offense.

Bitcointalk is just like every other online social media platform, only that it is crypto-centred. As a newbie you just need to interact, read and grow in knowledge. You don't need to put your self in an unnecessary pressure. In an attempt to get ranked up quickly, some newbies make mistakes like spamming, plagiarism, and using AI generated contents. The forum has laid down rules and guidelines that every member must adhere to and anyone that breaches any of these rules will face the consequences. The beginners and help board is a great place to start and persons that are not fluent in english language can stick with their local board and avoid getting themselves in trouble.

[Obari]

You did a great job mate and one funny thing is that most see the forum as a very difficult  place that they wouldn't survive and I was also a typical example of such a person who thought the forum was a very difficult  task but got to know that all I need to do was discuss and talk about the area of technology  and bitcoin  I'm good at.
Quest for merits and rank up to start earning from signature campaigns has lead alotnof people to spamming  the board  and getting their accounts into some sort of mess and that is why I've always talked about people making quality over quantity  post and it will be a very great idea if the thread has both quality and quantity.

Newbies just need to know and follow the forum rule in order to avoid being banned.  Staying in the beginners and help sections will hinder their growth since most of the important technical information is on the other board.

Aside from that not all newbies are here to learn about Bitcoin, others are here to merchandise their service so it will be a huge loss for them if they stay in the beginners help when the information they need is on the economy board.

As a newbie in trading or forums, I do advise to understand fundamental and technical analysis, risk management, and trading strategies. Focus on a the forum updated posting and try to grow their skill about the cryptos y to develop expertise instead of criticism or wasting your time in useless discussions Control your emotions and avoid impulsive decisions. Stay updated with market news and trends. Join trading forums and groups to get advice from seasoned traders and to ask questions. Keep in mind that the keys to trading success are patience and learning. so, Don't be stick yourself at spot point.

I'm probably old-school, participated in online discussions in BBS, newsgroups, mailing lists when the Internet wasn't yet evolved as it is today. Remember Netscape browser and when WWW started? I don't want and shouldn't judge others by my own standards. For me a forum is a place to read, discuss, share knowledge about topics I'm interested in. Don't plagiarize, don't post bullshit or unconfirmed things you've stumbled over at some other shady places, express your own words and thoughts and check your facts.

That's basically it for me and just don't be a dick (or pussy). Behave and treat other forum members as you want to be treated yourself, well, except for trolls. Don't feed trolls, just ignore them, they eventually starve from no interaction with 'em.
