Bad advice can still be gotten from forum.

[Smartvirus]

There are really negative advices coming from some members but it’s only rare to find them since most of the advices are still helpful and useful so you only have to sort things out which way you’ll benefit the most. While others fall on bad ones, we can expect that this forum filter most of the advices so that we still end up following those advices that will greatly help us in shaping up our investments.

Yeah bad advices does exist on the forum but, they are rare just as you've said. I won't see it to be a bad thing, having all them critics and negative vibes on the forum as, we can't afford to be one sided. A little shake to the left and right and one would get a clear picture of what is about a concept.

Also, you get to make your mistakes and when the revelation unfolds, you get to learn better.
Bad advices are useful that way, they help you learn and if you don't learn, then you've really failed.  In all, we've got to learn how not to hedge on everything we hear but must DYOR for verification on what to and what not to go with.

Absolutely you can still get bad advise on the forum- some unintentional, some malicious, some out of ignorance.  This is why you must do your due diligence, and it would be a good idea to use different sources from areas.

The membership of this forum is one of its biggest assets; it is made up of people with a wide range of knowledge and experience who constantly contribute their own answers and comments on threads as a contribution to the conversation from various points of view. But above all else, the forum is designed in a way that misinformation that contradicts the initial debate topic is identified as such (off topics posts and there are deleted by the moderators). But aside from that, reading more and contrasting other thoughts and suggestions before you draw your own conclusions is the best approach to prevent being misled by information.
So it's best to conduct your own research!

I haven't gotten any bad advice yet, but I think it is logical to still entertain the possibility that since the forum is a meeting place for people from different lifestyles to discuss, bad advice or problematic opinions can still be shared. It is important and advisable to also extra vet the information and advice you get on this forum before application.

To assist in your information or advice gathering process, whenever you start a topic of interest to you, or a topic is started that interests you, do well to follow through the topic by reading as much replies to it as you can, so you can compare people's opinions/advice for you. Where you say that a particularly opinion or advice is been given by many forum members in different ways, you can tell that that is a good advice. That is one method I use, which other methods can forum members use to determine the best opinion for a topic of concern?

Oh definitely- this forum contains people who experienced different results from different circumstances. Obviously, the advice given by some of the people are only applicable to certain scenarios and situations which cannot be applied as a a general rule.

You are right- newbies must be vigilant enough and responsible in following the advice given by some people. At the end of the day, the ultimate decision lies on these newbies, their call whether to follow it or not.

If bad idea should be coming then make every possible means to emsure it's nit coming from you, we all have different ways we contribute annidea onba particular topic or subject matter and in doing so we must ensure that the intended idea is the target point we should focus on without deviation, I've seen alot of members on a long article post in pages with less meaning in passing out the main idea across, the truth is that everyone want tlhis coice to be heard but not all eventually were passing out the right and needed information at a particular time.

All will matter on their personal experiences and will not work if others will try to replicate it so best to get more ideas then just apply it since maybe you can learn something by combining the advices given. If there's no good result generated then much better if you learn from your own since nothing will beat totally to the experience you got compare to those people who over reacting on their advice given to the newbies.

Everyone has access to the forum, so anyone can search for help and post comments. The moderators on this site are quite active and skilled, and they remove any useless or poor advice they come across. Bullies are not accepted here, as shown by the meritorious posts that show appreciation for the readers. Although I'm not aware of the forum's age restrictions, I think everyone over the age of 18 should be sensible when it comes to listening to advice and spotting good advice.

No one will give any bad advice to anyone. If anyone will do this forum has the DT1 members. They give negative trust to them. And they expose them.

This forum is friendly. Everyone can ask question of any field and he/ she will get the answer. And will get more experience.

That’s would only be in specific cases, whereby the so called advice is actually luring people deliberately into some kind of scam. Bad advice can come in many shapes and forms, some blatant, some not so much until the aftermaths dictates the results.

You will often read here (or elsewhere) people saying use this or that other strategy, invest in these or those other coins, use this or that other wallet, this or that other Exchange (it at all). Many of these suggestions can probably be typified as bad advice, but their authors are not going to be tagged by DT for the most, not should they. Instead, they can be rebated and refuted through arguments, leaving the reader with information that he can now contrast, which is a good starting point to discern what’s what.

Yes, it's true that bad pieces of advice can be churned out by members here but I don't want to believe anyone would intentionally do that, except it were scam. The thing with advice is that the adviser tends to speak from what they think they know or that which will be best for the seeker, depending on the level and years of experience on the issue. Even advice from counsellors aren't alienated from this. For forum, anyone asking questions and genuinely seeking answers will have to read enough responses to be able to sieve through genuine answers or advice. They must've the patience to go through comments.

For example, your post can be deleted if it's considered as spam or off topic.

That's if it's not posted in Off-Topic sub-board. Otherwise I don't think it even gets deleted.

I believe this forum is operating in one fold and body. Advise given here are meant to the intent of it. Nobody is perfect and sometimes the advise may not turn out favourable but it doesn't mean the giver of the advise did an intentional act to deceive. I remember during the ico season, there were many investment threads analysing and suggesting investment coins, some rose while others didn't and it doesn't mean the advise didn't work but just extrenous activities can change the plans of the developers and that affect the investment of those hodling the coin.

We are all here to learn, and knowledge will keep cycling, so after getting various pieces of advice from the forum or information, since everyone gives advice in their own unique way do your own research and combine it with other people's suggestions. This will assist you in learning the same information in different ways. The knowledge shared in this forum keeps you operating efficiently in the field, which is helpful to many of us. That is one benefit I get from it.

[Peanutswar]

The forum is open to everyone with their thoughts suggestion, and information so we can exchange ideas somehow because we come from different places and have different personalities and approaches. Sometimes it becomes harsh if we read those opinions but I guess pretty normal to them, so that's why some people interpret that they give terrible advice. Most of the higher ranks here have more experience, so they keep letting us know what the things we need to do are.

No one gauranty you a correct answer over here in the forum, the moment a topic is raised, people are intended to make contributions based on what is right to them.
One love thing I've come to realize in this forum is the fact that, everyone's opinion can never be the same and people are right in their own ways and it is your responsibility to o be selective of the information you absorb.

[Bhig Daddy]

You have a very slim probability of receiving harmful advise or inaccurate information from this forum. It can only occur if you start a thread, allow some replies, and then lock the thread. If the inaccurate opinion or piece of advise is offered, someone else must step in to correct it as the conversation moves forward. You must find solutions to your difficulties in any thread that has been discussed through the entire fifth page if you read all the pages.

Anything related to investing, when to buy, when to sell, and what altcoin to purchase as the next big thing is prone to be based either on gut feeling, a cacophony of what someone else has said, or a desire to shill/pump a coin. I doubt that, in general terms, Altcoin discussion is going to have that many people trying to correct a narrative.

On the other hand, bitcoin related discussions are going to likely have a more versed set of opinions and critics of this forum, bitcoin centered by nature, correcting in many cases statements that are not certain from a technical, conceptual o historical point of view. Price predictions though are not something to trust, as they are generally not based on anything fundamental (and even fundamentals tend to fail).

I think there is no such thing as bad advice especially in the forum, since they know that you only need to post meaningful and helpful post to other, aside from those who are bounty hunters, back with the topic that op said, others shared their experience, with the members of the forum that they have knowledge and experience, even though some don't experience it, they will have an impact especially to new members where, they have hint on what to do if they experience something wrong, like for everyone who post things to avoid, what to do, and how to, that is very helpful, also guide others what to do.
I just think that  in the forum we are like family, who shares information and give advice to each other for the good of everyone.

In the answer of technical questions, many time I have observed that low rank member answer with some stupid solution; they in fact don't know. I myself has sometimes provided some wrong information because I didn't know. When it's about technical information, we should focus on the reputed bitcoin geek.

Am that one person who don't jump into dropping a reply to a thread just after reading it, I go at length perusing other forum members ideas, opinions or suggestions about the thread, and from there it help me navigate in line with what the discussion is all about and not to talk abstract or out of point even if my opinion or idea is contrary to others opinion. It's very true not all advise as contained in the forum is a good advise as much of the advise people render are mostly subjective except for a few.

And just because many forum members tend to agree with a certain advice and thereby replicate it in different ways doesn't mean such advice can be entirely a good advise as some times the crowd can be wrong while the minute few gets it right.

Even reputable geek can mislead us maybe its better for anyone to read what those people written and study if there words have basis so that you can figure out things are in right place towards technical things you ask here. We need to do more research especially if we want to know technical things since we cannot digest those information on first read since we need to research more so that we can understand and find solution on problems or question we want to solve.
