Board explanation for newbies

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

I noticed most newbies make post in wrong section and of course members always correct them  I  don't know if any post like this have been made before but i want to suggest  that a more established member than I who knows these boards better should please create a thread in the beginner section on what kind of posts should be on each boards to assist these newbies
Thanks

In addition to what others above me have commented with their replies to you, I just feel there's nothing wrong with having post on the wrong boards when moving it to the right board is just a report away. When I started on the forum I found it hard to understanding the boards to post as well as some topics that you want to write can fit in multiple boards from your own understanding. For now moving it to the appropriate boards isn't a challenge and what gives you the thoughts that the thread you're asking someone to create will be of help when the newbies don't know how to get the threads to read through. Or are you proposing that the thread also get pinned as well.

The short explanations on each boards has already done justice to that so no need to for a thread on that again. Although the short explanation doesn't give a full details what's demanded on each boards (which I think the forum administration did that on purpose to promote different discussion) but still it gives us a clue also the names of the baords says the obvious. Besides having topics on wrong boards is one sign we can use when identifying a newbie to monitor his progress as he gets to know how to use the forum as he spends time here.

OP, there is no need for that. The forum has done that already,if you look at this board,it is for beginners to learn the basics of bitcoin and there are also people who help them with their questions and put them through in some discussions.

If someone who is ready to learn registers and sees this board beginners and help and he reads the topics here,he will understand that it is different from Economy board when he visits it. The problem is that some newbies finds it difficult to read it pinned thread on the top of these boards to understand what the board is all about and it is these people that their post are moved to off topic because their topics are irrelevant to that board discussion.

There are several answers given to you already but i would love to say the forum has its segments that carries the related places where you should create your post. Naturally, its left for you as the newbie or beginner to locate those sections. For instance the forum has 5 sections and each of them has its own childboard.
1. Bitcoin
2. Economy
3. Other
4. Alternate cryptocurrencies
5. Local.

As the names above implies, is best for you to know what is in your mind to post, if is about bitcoin then chose that section to create your post and so on, I wouldn't like to go further because there are lot replies here so i believe more helps has been rendered to you.

I just feel there's nothing wrong with having post on the wrong boards when moving it to the right board is just a report away. When I started on the forum I found it hard to understanding the boards to post as well as some topics that you want to write can fit in multiple boards from your own understanding.

I encountered the same problem as a noob. It wasn't until I read a post by a very high ranked user then (I think a legendary member) asking mods to move their topic to an appropriate board if it weren't to be where they had posted it that I braced up and stopped bothering myself about such an inconsequential stuff as to where to post or not. I think a simple hack to such a situation is to put a note at the end of one's post, asking mods to move the topic if it wasn't suitably posted in the right board. It's that simple.

I think majority of people pass through that stage in this forum and I still believed more to come would still ask same question as well, usually as noob this forum is always large for someone to detects where suitable to place a post, but as time keeps going the more familiar they became used to this forum whereby they can know which sections to post or not.

Most times i always advise the newbies not to be too haste or desperate about this forum, why not they settle down and devote time to read some guidelines on how to become more friendly with this platform., that is why we need to be more friendly with those that newly introduced themselves at the local board as I believe that is the beginning of their journey to this forum.

When I signed up as a newbie, I ensured that I navigate the 'Help' button at the nav bar above to read through the lines and understand what it takes to engage this platform. So I believe if other newbies will take their time to go through the help page, they will learn alot on how these boards are and their identify the appropriate boards to engage.

But the names on the boards are unambiguous and simple to all newbies.

Nevertheless, when you create a topic in the wrong boards, the moderators are jovial enough to move your tooic to the right related board.

Indeed, at first, it is not easy to navigate the forum, and even more so, with the choice of the right section for beginners to publish a topic. Although, by and large, there is nothing complicated or confusing about it. Each section has a name and this is quite enough to orientate correctly. But if a newbie posts a topic in the wrong place, then the moderators can always move it to the appropriate section (which, of course, creates unnecessary trouble for them. I think they can handle this). Basically, most often newbies ask their questions and create topics in Beginners & Help section and if the next newbie creates a topic here, he will certainly not be mistaken (for the most part).

The first time I checked this forum, I was highly discouraged. It was not colorful and there are so many sections. I began to wonder how I will be able to get used to all the boards. But the more I kept visiting the site, I began to understand the boards. I also made some mistakes that were also corrected by a senior member. I will not affirm that I have mastered every section in the forum because I am still learning. I suggest that you keep on learning and in no time you will become used to these boards. Also, sometimes without logging in, I usually visit and read posts on some boards to get used to the post content.

It will also be difficult to create a thread on the different posts that will fit into each board because most of these boards are interconnected. Bitcoin discussion can include a policy by the government, while economy is related to politics and society, Bitcoin mining can relate to the economy of a country. There are no clear borders that separate the post content of each board.

This can also be helpful to the question Newbies - Read before posting, I have said it before, your knowledge on the board means a lot. As a newbie you have to read the above thread link so that you will know what and where to start from. At first you will not have too much knowledge on all the boards if really you are a newbie and as you progress, you will know more things in the forum. So feel free to participate base on your knowledge.

There's barely a fact about the happenings in here that hasn't been deliberated about before...lol, atleast sometimes, that's the way I feel.
It's also a beautiful thing that's you're putting it up again too. Newbies have always felt they could be heard by many if they make post in meta,..not even considering whether the content simply matches the board in question; many other times, we've always got a single content that could also match into as many boards as possible, but all you gotta do is post on. IMHO, newbies are pretty much confused I guess; just the way I was when I first got registered.
