I normally would advice newbies to find an area of the forum you particularly enjoy conversing in and focus on your niche, before you spread to other boards, but your post history is full of posts in politics & society and discussions that are not bitcoin related. It makes me wonder if you’re here to discuss bitcoin or something else. Regardless you can still turn out to be a good member of this forum, take the advice that’s been handed to you and read the resources.

Op, actually when you visited this board, there was some information already pinned. and just visit it on the Meta board. you will get more information related forum. so if you don't know anything, I think you are too lazy to read first.
every day maybe there are new members, but I don't believe almost every day new members are asking this kind of thing to start on the forum.

Op, strengthen your stance and goals in the forum. it will help you to focus.

My first advise to everyone coming new to this forum is to take their time in reading the forum's rules and regulations, learn about bitcoin and the forum, be patient, avoid altcoins for a start, take low risk by investing on the amou you can afford to loose, also know that bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme, desist from anything that associates you with making quick money irrespective of the platform and don't use centralized exchanges for storing your bitcoin or crypto.

This post is basically asking “how do I get merits”. There is no education you will get that’s better than the pinned threads on this board, I suggest you read more and post less. Also use the search engine, so you don’t create duplicate topics, the forum has been here for over a decade and it’s very likely your questions may already been asked before.

I think it is already answered or there could be a thread with similar topic where the answer for OP's questions could also be used yo answer the other. I saw another newbie rank account asking how to get merits. At least, OP wants to know the Dos and Donts in the forum and I think op will learn grow sooner or later if op always use the search engine. Asking How growth is measured here could also mean op wanted to rank up to be able to join campaigns.

I think for beginners who want to start joining this forum, the first thing to start with is reading the rules embedded in the information thread, which is a very important first step to take before starting to actively participate in the forum. This will help beginners to understand how forums work and also provide information about what can and cannot be done in these forums. In addition, reading the threads pinned on the information boards can also provide useful information about the topics discussed in the forum. These threads usually contain information on a particular topic that is discussed in depth by more experienced forum members.

By getting used to reading the rules and threads pinned on the information board, beginners can more easily understand the rules in this forum. This can help newbies adapt more easily to forum activities and avoid inappropriate and prohibited actions on forums.
A frequent must read The Beginner Board and Help are specially designed to help beginners get started on the good use of this forum. Reading every post pinned on those boards is essential to understanding how forums work and to get the help needed to get started.

Because the Beginner and Help boards have information that can help beginners better understand how to use the forums and troubleshoot common problems they may encounter. By reading every post on this information board, beginners can avoid fatal mistakes and can get the help they need quickly and effectively. Growth is measured by what you get on this forum and the progress of your own account ranking.

First of all,I will like to make all the newbies in this forum to know that the bitcointalk forum is  not a place where ones goes in search of the big bag,it is not also a place where one thinks another person's idea is his own,the forum was designed for people who are interested in Bitcoin,and wants to make money through bitcoin.thefore,I will advice everyone new in this forum to always make sure he or she observes the forum rules and regulations,and shouldn't violate it,if not,you will be automatically kicked out without hesitation and warning.
Every newbie should be more focused on making quality posts and not posts that do not meets the requirements of this community.Forget about merits and think of the quality of posts you can make to attract the minds of people

Op this your thread would have been posted on the first or second post of the account but this is 14 post and that means you are not totally newbie in cryptocurrency even though you are new in the forum. As examplens your breaking down of politics is not bad and here you are trying to contradict your knowledge. You are good in Politics and economics. Probably you might need the knowledge on Cryptocurrency. And from you posts, you can read and write therefore I recommend you to make some research on Google and read more on Cryptocurrencies and bitcoin. With that you knowledge will also be centered on bitcoin.

Yes according to his post history we can understand that he has knowledge on politics. But then I saw his replay to the bitcoin post. So as I can see he has some sort of knowledge on Cryptocurrency. As Agbe said Google is a best place for free education and also don't forget about youtube. I personally recommended you babypips.com also. There you can get all the basic knowledge from A-Z simply.

In the very words of @odolvlobo "read more post less", this is one simple secret to learning fast and easily assimilate with the dos and don'ts of the forum. Don't get carried away with the urge of gaining merits at all cost in this your little beginning instead use this stage to build your knowledge about bitcoin and cryptocurrency and the working structures of the forum so that you can have a good wealth of ideas to be able to contribute qualitatively in forum discussions which indirectly attracts merits for your rankings.

I'll not fail to leave you a caveat about the imposter's and scamming schemes you might come across in the Crypto space, make sure to do thorough research and ask questions where you are not comfortable about certain recommended projects. The Crypto space is a  jungle of itself, becareful and creative too and you will survive eventually.

First understand that here is a discussion forum, so you are not under pressure to impress anyone and nothing like you failed. You are not in competition with anyone.
While other forums discuss other things, he discuss bitcoin as the name implies. You can also discuss altcoins, politics, gambling, economics, trading etc in thier various boards.
As a newbie, appear as a newbie such that as you grow in the forum you grow in experience and bitcoin knowledge.
If you really want to last long here do not plagerise (to copy other people's one claiming it to be yours).
Do not spam and do not check. Abide by the rules and you are good.

Start with the good then the results will also be good. Wherever we move, there are rules that can save us.
The good thing is to obey the rules and avoid all the restrictions.
I always remind myself with sentences that I write down then I set as wallpaper. Have you done good to improve your quality today?.

For activities here, the two topics suggested by acroman08 are also my recommendations for you.

[Dzwaafu11]

Being active in the forum and producing high-quality content are the only requirements for earning merit, which I am aware is all new users need to advance.
All you have to do to stay safe on the forum is adhere to the rules and regulations; if you are caught plagiarizing anything from another person and posting it under your name, your account will be permanently banned. Simply copy the post URL and paste it into your own post whenever you come across anything you want to share. Participate on the forum and be active there. Much obliged

[isaac_clarke22]

No need to overcomplicate it, OP. Growth or whatever you call it, just follow the rules, contribute to discussion just like what you do in any other social media. You're not really required to do so though.

Just use the forum whatever you want. I treat it like a more of a Reddit but with specific focus. You don't need really need to grow, but if that's what you want, just contribute just like I mentioned.

[Patrol69]

To the new members of the forum I would like to say that you should be active on the forum regularly. There are various forum rules which you should read carefully. Make various informative posts on the forum. Follow the senior members of the forum if you don't understand something. Always try to gain something from the forum. Your curiosity should be such that senior members of the forum are helping you by seeing your curiosity. Gaining some knowledge from the forum should be your main objective. Achieving merit should not be your main objective. Respect every senior member.

Once you have gained sufficient understanding of the forum basics you can proceed to the next steps. Such as various investment related information trading information etc.  Hopefully by following these you can go from being a newbie to an experienced member of the forum.

[reagansimms]

Don't cross boundaries that shouldn't be crossed, the forum chooses several rules that must be obeyed by anyone, make this thread a guideline to explore the forum deeper. To become an active member of the forum, you must start with a clear intention "what is your purpose in joining the forum".

It is not difficult to master a number of important points that can add insight to you. The first thing you prioritize is reading. Take your time to know how the forum system works and learn to improve posting quality.
Regarding Merit, it's simple in my opinion, merit will come when you have successfully contributed to the forum. Lots of users are ready to help you at any time, every post that is considered quality will be rewarded with merit by other users.
Keep trying and learning because the forum is a suitable place for those of you who want to learn Cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin.

If you come to the forum not because of bitcoin or crypto, then there is no hope of survival and I believe there is no other motivation that is far greater than the cause of bitcoin or crypto. If my understanding is not wrong, this forum was created as a bitcoin place and eventually grew to be as widespread as it is now.As for the rules that are allowed or not on the forum, many people have suggested that you read and study them.

If your intention is to learn about other issues, there are millions of social media and resources you can visit, although the forums are not only limited to discussing bitcoin and crypto, but basically this forum exists because of bitcoin.

Growth is measured by how far your knowledge has developed from the beginning of knowing the forum to going through the learning process. If you can go through all the processes, it will look easy and most importantly "read a lot".

1. There is no alternative to reading more and ambition of learning. If you don't have an ambition of learning here you can not improve yourself.
2. Don't be greedy and don't try to make fool others
3. People have opportunities of learning here. So you will have also. But don't try to earn first before learning.
4. Before answering anyone try to read the problem/issue first.
5. Be respectful to every member here.

Welcome to this wonderful forum Jamala, I can see you are already having some fun in the politics and society section of the forum, which means the forum is becoming more interesting to you, I am glad you are here.

This forum has various sections where you can interact and learn about anything you want. You can also ask questions about anything related to Bitcoin because, as you can see, the forum is primarily a Bitcoin discussion forum, but other topics are welcome as well.

My main piece of advice to you is to read through the forum rules and regulations, study them, and you'll be fine here.

On growth; Because the forum operates on a merit system, your number of merits determines your rank in this forum, and merit is a reward for your great contribution to the forum, which is a reward for your quality posts and interactions in the forum.

Most importantly, avoid plagiarism.

My first advise to everyone coming new to this forum is to take their time in reading the forum's rules and regulations, learn about bitcoin and the forum, be patient, avoid altcoins for a start, take low risk by investing on the amou you can afford to loose, also know that bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme, desist from anything that associates you with making quick money irrespective of the platform and don't use centralized exchanges for storing your bitcoin or crypto.

I agree that new newbies should first become acquainted with the forum rules and guidelines because otherwise, I doubt they won't be able to achieve their goals on the forum in the manner they desire. Another piece of advice I have for newbies is to avoid useless emails, messages, and links, and to resist becoming arrogant when someone suggests investing in another coin and getting paid within a day.
Being greedy is the only way to avoid being scammed after learning a lot about bitcoin as a beginner. You will be satisfied with your investment if you aren't greedy and invest in a small amount that you can afford to lose.
