Important information about the forum

[Ndabagi01]

Searched for some important information for new members that need to know about your forum. I also read this information. New members like me need to know the information.  The information may have been given by people before.  But I re-posted it, so new members can easily see it, no need to search.

Thanks for wanting to help OP. You’ve done well by putting together those links for new members to see, hopefully if they get to see it before your post disappears from the first page of this board. All boards already have sticky posts to guide newbies and new members going to that board to post on the rules guiding those boards. You can find them and learn from there. Maybe you missed out on that, go back there and you’ll be enlightened the more about the forum there.

Ops since you want to share forum rules to keep members of the forum mostly newbies updated with the forum rules,  but you have violated one of the forum rules that could get you ban in this comment,  you copy and paste is not allowed in the forum,  best way to do that is the quote the ops and make your comment instead of copying and pasting which is prohibited.


So now you are also victim of same ignorance you want to eliminate!

As  he professes to be a rookie, he may still be learning about the forum and may not yet know how to quote a user. Allow him the benefit of the doubt so that he can learn as soon as he understands further about the forum.

OP, I know you're trying to get something done on this forum but I'd advise you make it more interesting and different from the other threads or newly created topics, it should be informative, just make it unique to avoid harder and hurtful replies that might kill your enthusiasm. Making use of the search bar is really important but I don't think most of the users here care to make use of it, as a newbie you have to use it to know what kind of topics are already on the forum to avoid repeating same topic.

You said something about newbies not knowing all the rules on this forum which is true, nobody is perfect and some higher members can even fail the rules guiding this platform but it doesn't mean we're all above mistakes, just take a glance through the rules and regulations that you can and try to keep by it, doesn't mean you must read everything on this platform. But to cover it all, just read every rules on every thread you find yourself.

As a newbie it might seem like you don't have the right to engage or do something on the forum just forget all that would discourage you and move on.

And you want to guide other forum members, are you serious?

No. I am a new member of the forum. Currently I have no knowledge to guide. But I want to learn a lot by spending time on the forum. And help everyone like you.

I'll recommend you exert that energy on yourself, you need it more than any newbie does except maybe you think you have already known it all. Don't be in a hurry to pour out immediately the very little you have learned, digest it, articulate more and grow yourself with it. For you this stage is a learning stage and not a teaching one.

Welcome to all forum members!  Recently I noticed that many new members don't know all the rules, me being one of them. It's not really our fault.  Because not all rules are written.

I can see that you have not been to these forums for even two weeks, so I wonder what knowledge you have acquired in less than two weeks to share with other forum members and even the newbies. But when you said all the forum members, you meant even people who have been here for almost or more than a year; you can teach them what you have gained in less than two weeks. However, everyone you see in these forums knows the rules guiding them. But only newbies like that have yet to be acquainted with the forum rules. From the first time we join the forum, we learn the rules and regulations guiding the forum, so don't say that many users don't know the forum rules.

However, anything you see that is not specified in the forum rules and regulations means that it is not among the rules, therefore I'm not sure what you mean when you say that not all rules are written there.

This takes me back to the topic; Newbies Stop Teaching When You Need To Learn created by GifteMAN. I know you put some work into this but this is a wasted effort and completely unnecessary. There's a distinct difference between reading and learning. You might have been reading but clearly you've not been learning because if you do, you wouldn't have made this. You would have noticed that there's always a pinned message containing rules and regulations on every board so that one can read and familiarize him or herself with it. My advice is don't create topic like this anymore, take some time to read and learn and it will definitely help you.

I'll tell you a story that you probably don't know. Once the forum was thoroughly checked for plagiarism, many accounts were banned. Some people were banned not for intentionally copying someone else's content, but because they simply didn't know how to properly quote and reply to other users' posts. You present yourself here as literate and take it upon yourself to teach others, but in this case, you are as ignorant as all beginners.
What you have done in this post is copy someone else's answer. And now you deserve a ban.

[Lucius]

I don't understand what these new breeds are really up to...
Now this is just another crappy massage from someone that doesn't even know Thier left from right... Haven't you seen those informations already on 'em Sticky post?? What's the point of the tautology?
~snip~

We've all been beginners once and most of us have acted like OP, and if you go back to your beginning and the first post you can see that you also didn't do very well on the forum at the beginning. Sticky threads existed then, as they do today, right?

Hi everyone, i have a trusted business partner that introduced me to bitcoin few years ago,since i was so keen about these digital currency, he had to introduce me to these great forum.
Please,do you have standards or rules kinda?
Just show me around,so delighted to be here

[YOSHIE]

But I re-posted it, so new members can easily see it, no need to search.

The information you post is a general rule or basic rule for beginners, but some beginners don't read and visit it, beginners who come here are of various types, there are gambling, bounty hunters, scammers, loans, mining, Bitcoin, Altcoin, legal, Local and etc.

Each board that I mentioned above has different rules, many of the rules that you haven't mentioned here, over time you will understand and understand all of the rules, depending on where you start, as long as you are willing to learn and understand everything that is here, you will get much of what you want.

Beginners & Help board section, rarely visited by newbies, less percentage than here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0, that's where the most beginners are, like bees, the beginners there who should really understand the rules, if you want to help and advise them.

This is the problem with newbies on this forum. Instead of searching and finding it, they think it doesn't exist and we should create a thread and get some Merit(s).
Refrain yourself from doing these things. This forum is since a decade and the probability of it not having rules is zero to none. Instead, you thought not every rule is written and then you attached some post URLs.

Instead of copying those URLs, you could have made this post much better by quoting them here itself. Could have saved potential 3-4 clicks for everyone.

They barely just take their time to read through platform to see what is obtainable there. They assume and get themselves into trouble and when it dawns on them they start crying foul and appealing to be granted pardon which is not feasible. This platform have been existing for long so why would they not know that rules are obtainable here or they they think this is a lawless platform?
Lousiness and poor research is sometimes the issues being displayed here by most newbies and they care not about it.

Honest this is crazy and I am so surprised right now seeing a newbie trying to pass information about the rules of the forum when we are not even sure if he is following or have read the rules multiple times to assimilate the necessary things that are needed to be followed. I don't like it when a newbie is trying to advise other newbies when he has the responsibility of making sure he follows the rules and the guidelines of the forum. Please, I will advise you to read the rules yourself and not try to create this post for the sake of merit.

@Assiduous, It's not much stress to look through some of the most important rules on the forum (do not spam and don't plagerize). Definitely, there's no one who doesn't make mistakes, but once you come on the forum with an open mind as a real newbie (because some people pretend to be newbies when they are not), you will only make some minor newbie mistakes. For example, one question can be asked 100 times in the forum on different threads by different users, and you will still see some similar opinions in those threads. In some cases, you could still be referred to the same topics like that, and you will be advised on what to do.

Sometimes you could be asked to lock your thread because a similar thread has been created, and a link to the first similar thread will be shared with you. So, as you keep being active in the forum, you will learn by visiting different boards and looking through them(you can fine some pin message). Where you don't understand some things, you can create a topic.

You know mate newbies want to grow very fast so they damn the consequences and forge ahead. Just like you have said,any newbie who takes their time to read would definitely scale through because all they need to know about the platform are visibly and clearly written and pinned on the various boards for all to see. Although no one is above mistake but if they make any, it would just a minor fault as a result for their acquaintance with the forum policies but for those who do not read are always crying victim because they fail to hid to advise.

Nevertheless, making use of the search engine could help them minimize the rate at which they ask similar recurring messages and flooding the platform with unnecessary spam post. Sometimes, if they really look into replies and comments, they could learn more because information and knowledge are mostly found in comments and replies by members trying to be nice.

Anyone that want to learn or read about the forum rules can easily check different boards and look for there rules there. I don't see any necessity for op to post link of some forum here for newbies like him to check it out when it is always advised for anyone that want to understand the forum, to always check the rules and and try as much to work adhere to it. The rules are simple and it is what can be comprehended with time being in this forum. Sometimes it is laziness that makes some persons to find the rules not to be that important to them because they want to grow very fast without reading and doing accordingly to the rules of the community.

On the forum, you know a few newbies already know their way around here, but they only pretend to be newbies, and I assume most of them intentionally spam with some topics, but rather they only try to make a little midification from the old similar topics that have been created, which most times their interest is just to earn merit and not for them to make a good contribution. Spamming will not end; it can only be moderated by the forum moderators, as they will topics that are not worth discussing or have probably been discussed. That's why sometimes you will suggest to a newbie that they lock some threads, but they will not.
When I first came on the forum, I never knew how to search effectively on the forum until I was reading through some topics on the beginners board, where I came across some topics with suggestions on how to search effectively on the forum. Most newbies don't have that patience; if they did, they could quickly learn how to use the forum within a short period of time.

Welcome to all forum members!  Recently I noticed that many new members don't know all the rules, me being one of them. It's not really our fault.  Because not all rules are written.

I also had the same problems with these unwritten rules when I came to the forum. It would have been easier to have a single document so that one can read and internalize it. But the only way to know and understand these unwritten rules is by spending more time in the forum. Unwritten rules are learned through observation and experience. Newbies are supposed to be reading instead of creating threads to teach others.

And you want to guide other forum members, are you serious?

No. I am a new member of the forum. Currently I have no knowledge to guide. But I want to learn a lot by spending time on the forum. And help everyone like you.

This is the case of a doctor taking a drug overdose or a soldier shooting himself in the foot. Ignorance is not an excuse before the law but I hope Op will be pardoned for this blunder and not suffer the consequences. He wants to teach other newbies more complicated rules while he is not even knowledgeable about the basic rules.

You are new and u want to help us who are also new here, how possible can that be. Can the blind leads the blind? No they will both fall in a pit. I think the best way is to ask questions and get answers from the legendaries in this forum  for better understanding of the basic concept.

So pls our legendaries that are here help and put us through with better link for more studies, thanks.

Am sorry to tell you this but to be honest with you, this thread is of no use, all the necessary things which everyone and newbies will need are already on every board and they are being pinned already, so anyone that visit the board will see it at the top so this thread is of no use to me.
If know one post on this thread for a long time then the thread will be at the bottom when no one will be seeing it again, so what’s the use of the thread or are you going to keep bumping the thread or after some months you going to create similar topic like this again? Honestly I will just recommend you lock the thread because it’s not going to serve any purpose here, the rules and regulations are already pinned.

[Nheer]

No. I am a new member of the forum. Currently I have no knowledge to guide. But I want to learn a lot by spending time on the forum. And help everyone like you.

Good luck on your journey, you have a very long journey ahead and you should not be bothered about helping other newbies but rather be focused on improving your knowledge on the forum. Until you have acquired some certain amount of knowledge before impacting knowledge to others.

This post will certainly go down the pages and probably will be difficult to find in a few days so its just as everyone is saying, there is no need to create this thread because all the links you have provided already exist and pinned so everyone using the forum can have easy access.

Instead of copying those URLs, you could have made this post much better by quoting them here itself. Could have saved potential 3-4 clicks for everyone.

Exactly, but I doubt if they can even make quotes, they are too lazy to read and learn and all they are after is earning some merits. There are so many things to learn on the forum and understanding the forum itself is a huge task on its own that must be learnt before you can be able to achieve anything here.

You can click on the link too to learn somethings about the forum since you are also new here. I like your energy but there is nothing wrong where a newbie like you is trying to help you with some link to learn about what you ought to know as a member of the forum. There are so many things to learn here so you need to be aquatinted with reading and learning new things so that you can adapt as quick as possible and ensure you don't castigate others too that are trying to learn and understand the forum. The community is friendly and ready to help anyone that are serious.
