Advice and more clarification about the forum

[OcTradism]

I have never found anyone who has drafted the rules of this forum in downloadable PDF format, but don't worry you can always read the rules that apply easily because the forum rules that must be obeyed have been pinned on the beginner's and help board by the moderator.

Because forum rules can be updated with time.

The topic Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ writes that rules are officially applied but that list is unofficial one.

Theymos is flexible and can change rules when he sees it's good to make changes. Forum global moderators and admins have their own interpretations, case by case, when applying rules.

23. When deciding if a user has broken the rules, the staff have the right to follow their interpretation of the rules.[e]

Being a new member of this forum, I will like to have more clarification and advice, and I will also like to know if there are any PDFs or any sources that I can be directed to study more in order to not offend the law of the forum and avoid any penalties or having my account banned. I will be glad to have many pieces of advice for other members of the forum.

Welcome to this BTT forum OP.

Actually, the rules in this forum are very simple and not too complicated to comply with.

• Likewise, don't make posts or replies that are spam in nature
• Don't make posts from copying and pasting from other sites or platforms (meaning that all the contents of the post don't have the original writing)
• Do not write (posts or replies) that contain elements of crime or hate speech.

So, in my opinion, these three points are the basic points that must be strictly adhered to. Because there are still other rules that you need to learn in this forum.

Because actually if you carefully read each of the threads listed when you enter this beginner & help board, you will definitely see a thread entitled about the rules that beginners must read.
Examples include the thread below

> Newbies - Read before posting

For further details, you can open the thread and read all of its contents.

You have to avoid plagiarism and also don't spam the forum with phishing links because that can result in you being easily banned from the forum. The forum is a community full of different people from different countries around the world, and you should be aware that everyone has different opinions about every topic that is shared. You could get criticised for some of the topics or replies you share here, so you will need to develop a thick skin to be able to withstand some criticism. You can also identify with your local board; there you can also get good guidance from experienced memeber in the same country as you who speak the same language.

Your every questions answer is here:

If I'm not wrong, the search in the forum can be a bit frustrating for brand new members because of the restrictions for these members. But the most important links have already been quoted, so the OP shouldn't have any problem by reading the threads they point to.

If the newbie is having a problem using the forum search function, they can just search a topic on google search with bitcointalk at the end of the question. The google search then prompt the list of topic in bitcointalk that is related to the question.  Just like this one:



Btw, welcome to the forum @OP if you have questions, try to search the forum first, and if you failed to see them then you can create a thread and ask away.  Many of the members here will gladly answer anyone's question to the best of their knowledge.

Certainly, no hard and complicated rules if you know how to follow in the first place. And to be honest, just like any forum rules, stick to your own content of your post and never imitate other member's post. Have your own originality so you won't end up plagiarizing and get banned later on. My only advice is to never stop learning in the forum. As much as you can learn from other people's posts, they may also learn from your own post too. Rules are rules, never break them no matter what.

Check the pin threads on this board to check all the official rules and guidelines in this forum. In addition, you can also utilize the search bar function found on the upper right hand of the forum should you have any questions/inquires regarding a certain topic.

Most of the rules in this forum are simple enough to follow. If you think that what you are doing is wrong, then your intuition is right- avoid all means of plagiarism and avoid integrating chat GPT replies on threads as this will contribute to spamming.

As such, welcome to this forum! You will definitely learn a lot during your stay here and may your cryptocurrency journey start anew!

Just obey what others have said and read the links which they have provided then everything will be fine for you. And for the clarification side, the forum was created by Satoshi Nakamoto to discuss bitcoin related matters. So all what you have to do is to read bitcoin materials and navigate the forum. And also avoid anything that will make you to be tagged and ban.

Avoid merit hunting. Merits will come when you comment and create quality posts/thread. You are welcome to the forum. Always humble yourself to learn.

A piece of advice:

Don't rush things, never think that you need to earn Merits, you have to become a good poster very soon so that you can gain a higher rank and start earning money from the forum through signature campaigns and stuff, that's not the right approach. Just take things very easy, focus on learning more initially, try to read more than writing and write only when you think that you have got something extra to add to a conversation or a discussion.

A lot of newbies make the mistake of doing plagiarism just because they think they can get Merits or appreciation if they post constructive messages copied from other members of the forum but that isn't right, it can get your account banned and that will almost end your journey on the forum in a blink of an eye if you are caught copy-pasting material either from this forum or somewhere else.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck for the future.

There's nothing really complicating about this forum... it'll only be when you fail to follow the simple rules we've got - and, the most simplest of all - "Avoid plagiarism with all cost if you must stay long in here"
There are no maneuvers to escaping the tragic penalties when this grand rule is broken...  Secondly, you need to read your way up to the top - never you begin to see this forum as some sort of money heist; that'll be the beginning of your nonfeasance. Do whatever it'll take to gain the right knowledge; for knowledge equates merit.

Upon how lanient and easygoing the bitcointalk forum is, I have seen some newbies complain that there are so many rules and here is very much unfriendly and they will eventually quit the forum. When I see this set of newbies, I will laugh out loud at there act. If you say that some of the newbies do have unfriendly welcome by the established members, I will agree with you but that is just in rare cases when the newbie tries to show off even when they have nothing to offer, when there is a clear sign of scam that wants to emanate from the newbie.

It is very difficult for an honest newbie to be attacked by established members. Besides what-so-ever attack they may have, what they needed to do is to develop a thick skin, which I was told when I was a newbie and I developed it which was exactly what help me to escape what I perceived as my had beginning.

There are no hard rules to follow. By exploring and learning what’s inside the forum, you will learn eventually the do’s and dont’s. Do your own research before posting. Do not plagiarize and do not spam. Just as simple as that. If you think you are not crossing those lines, then there’s no need to worry. Just be yourself and just enjoy every minute in the forum. That’s the only way you will learn a lot.

Finding yourself in a new place might be challenging, but the first step you took to familiarize yourself with the forum and its rules is a good one. If you follow these rules, using the forum is straightforward and uncomplicated. They don't compromise in forums, so be extremely careful how you act. Some of the advice I want to give has already been given, so I advise you to read the links carefully and make sure you understand everything. If understood correctly, I think that one day you will be the one helping anyone who needs more information on this subject. Thank you very much.

Upon how lenient and easygoing the bitcoin talk forum is, I have seen some newbies complain that there are so many rules and here is very much unfriendly and they will eventually quit the forum.

This is basically how stuff seems to be for almost every newbie, I have someone who felt the same way when I introduced him to the forum and until a particular point where he became conversant with the forum rules, while the other one thought the rules were too much for him to comprehend and he left the forum. Even you would see newbies that find it difficult to navigate the platform.

[Issa56]

You have to avoid plagiarism and also don't spam the forum with phishing links because that can result in you being easily banned from the forum.

One of the offenses that's common among newbies is plagiarism. Even after warning them and sending the link to the forum rules and regulations, they will still end up committing the same offense. I don't really know what's difficult about adding a source link after copying a post from somewhere. A higher percentage of people committing plagiarism are newbies. They know it's a great offense, but I don't really know why they can't avoid it.

There is another offense that I notice is beginning to be common on forums now, which is AI posting. Most people are beginning to use AI to post, which is very wrong. I don't know why they can't share their own ideas, and they prefer to use AI to post. Anyone using AI to post is just posting on forums because they want to make money, and they are not doing it because they want to learn, so newbies and other ranks should stay away from using AI to post on the forum.
