Hey! Welcome to the forum.

Everything about rules can be found in this thread, Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ. No, there isn't a PDF for you to read. The thread does gives you an idea as to how to proceed..

[mk4]

The rules have been linked above.

But to summarize: don't spam, don't plagiarize, and don't do dumb stuff in general. Done. Bitcointalk isn't some extremely-formal organization/company whereas you have to follow very strict and ludicrous rules. It's just a typical online forum — just with people that likes to talk about Bitcoin/crypto.

Good thing you want to know more about the forum first before any other thing because the mistake most newbies make when they join the forum is not get familiar with the forum, they just feel once you are a member you can do whatever you wish and they assume there are no rules guiding the forum. There are rules here and there are some things we all avoid here that are not tolerated and once you break those rules things will not be taken lightly with you so try to follow the rules of the forum.

Just as mk4 mentioned, avoid spamming, avoid plagiarism (copying and pasting of other people's work) from within or outside the forum and don’t try to scam other users. there are several rules so you just have to abide by them. I can see other users have shared you some links already that contains rules and some and other information about the forum so make sure you read them carefully.

Like a downloadable files? No need for that as you can scan different section anf pinned messages on Beginners and Help section. Just read them and you are good to go. But you could download the bitcoin whitepaper and read it. It can help to add knowledge on bitcoin aside from the idea here on forum.

If you want to be aware about the rules, then everything is laid dow in the forum, just read and understand every details listed in the forum. As long as you follow them, you’re safe and free from any forms of ban. And to tell you frankly, you don’t have to be instantly good at posting. Everything has its own process and by doing all your due diligence to learn about the insights in the forum, rest assured that you’ll be a great poster in the making. Be patient and never rush in profits. You’ll end up earning a good compensation when you are well equipped with knowledge and skills later on.

If I were a stats freak I would investigate how many of these accounts that want everything handed to them on a platter instead of investigating themselves make it far in this forum. I would bet that the percentage is very low. How often do we get questions like this? Weekly at least. I have been and still am a member of other forums and I never see this question asked on them. I imagine the economic component in this one is what accounts for it.

OP, I too welcome you to the forum but my advice is to search for yourself, be self-reliant, and if you have to ask specific questions ask them after you have done some research.

The issue is not about receiving advice the main issue here is; will you read and put them into action? I have seen so many users come to the forum and ask the same questions and got good responses like, don’t spam, don’t plagiarise read the forum rules etc and before they spent a month in the forum their account got ban from plagiarism.

If you can take your time to follow the advice that has been provided here you’ll be able to get the best from the forum but if you pay a fldeaf ear to the rules and think you can get away from breaking the rules you’ll only end up regretting it. So just keep it at the back of your mind that if you ever go against the rules of the forum you’ll surely get the punishment no matter how long it takes it will surely come out.

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.

Everything I learned I learned on my own. Yeah OP might be able to get to know the forum via the links which other provided. But I think self learn also important. That's why we shouldn't rely on others. Rather we should scroll down a bit, got to different board and try to understand what is happening. I totally agree it can sometimes be frustrating. But what I meant by my post is simple; every questions answer you seek is there. (The search bar)

I know what you mean pretty well. more beginners will act as you suggest, and maybe the Beginners & Help board will start to reduce the activity of beginners a bit which tends to be repetitive.
but somehow I have more respect for beginners who ask questions on the forum than for them to go the wrong way by violating the forum rules. and we must always be grateful to anyone who patiently replies to questions that may have the same topic.

Well to be honest, you are correct too & I totally agree. We need people who are not afraid to question. & look OP successfully posted his/her first post without violation any rules. It's a really big achievement. When I first joined this forum I didn't even knew what BBcode was! Now look at me I'm pretty good at it. Everyday I'm learning something. It doesn't matter whether it's big or small. You just have to be keep learning & have that determination.

I think OP already got answer to his/her questions. So you probably lock this topic.

First thing that can get you banned is when when plagiarize, you can only plagiarize when you're yet to read the forum's rules and regulations, after that, learn about the way the forum operates and how members behaved here, in doing this, you will have to read more than you post because you're learning, when you didn't over do what's beyond your power then you're going to have  better stay and also never forget to read through all suggestions given you right from the start of this thread, read them.

[Majestic-milf]

 You need advice on how to behave on the forum? Be yourself. Well, others have provided links to help you further understand how we work here but personal advice? Read more than you make posts because that way you can be able to contribute intelligently other than spamming and missing the point of conversation.
When you make your posts, if the ideas are not yours try to provide a link so you won't be banned for plagiarism and also, others can be able to read more and get info about what you are talking about. Another thing that can guarantee your growth is your consistency; try not to be a one off person or disappear at the first sight if criticism because that way you not just learn newer things, but also your reputation grows.

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.
I see you have also found a thread created by @Ratimov about encyclopedias beginner and help, you are lucky to have found that thread because there are lots of useful threads created by members of this forum which were then summarized by him.
My advice is to spend more time reading and being active in this forum and you will automatically understand the benefits you will get from this forum according to your needs and desires, such as understanding Bitcoin and crypto more broadly.
