Newbies identify with your local board

[Abdulzuruku01]

So many newbies here don't know that the forum has a local board for their countries, and they find it difficult to interact in their local language for easy understanding. When I first registered here, I didn't know that Nigeria has a local board and it took me three months before I finally saw our local board. I felt overwhelmed and felt at home the moment I visited the board, also it made me feel comfortable to ask questions there and also to contribute on topic been discussed in our local board.

As a newbie, it is important that ypu identify yourself with your local board, because it will enable you to learn in your local language which might help you understand topics being discussed in the forum faster, and it will also make you grow faster, especially those people that English Language is their second language. Local board will make you also have good contact and have new friends from your country because, life doesn't end here in bitcointalk, since nobody knows tomorrow.

You are actually correct; when I first joined the forum, it took me a few months before I was able to interact because I didn't even know where to begin. I did my best to read the rules of the forum and to learn about bitcoin, but I still struggled with the urge to engage in conversation. However, as soon as I saw my country's local board, I realised that their interactions were just like real-world interactions, and my country's local board has since given me more confidence.

The local is an very important component of the forum and not just to newbies but to all and sundry. There are persons that are not fluent in English language, they find it uncomfortable interacting with people in their general board, they are intelligent and knowledgeable but the language barrier is an impediment to their learning process. So the local board gives such categories of persons the opportunity learn and make contributions on the forum. It more also makes people feel welcomed and at home.

The local board is very important as it avails the opportunity to those who can not communicate  fluently in English on the general discussion board here. When such members locate their local boards, they feel free and engage in most conversations in their local languages and some of them make good and valuable contributions to their boards in ideas and solutions. They feel at home just as you have said mate and that is very good because when they have that comfort, they can easily learn and acquire more knowledge as they desire to.

Some people must have experienced the same thing as you OP and it must be a lot, but in my opinion it is only natural that it happens because it takes time to explore the forum and learn it, especially the local council in the bottom position in the main page, maybe they will miss it.

Maybe in the process there is a 1 day to find the local council of their country in the forum, as you use 3 months to find your local council forum here.

Good direction op.

[Majestic-milf]

 This is a good observation you made here op and I quite agree with you. The local board is supposed to be the first place to familiarize with and every question they(newbies) have will be supplied there without it looking like spam or off topic; but that doesn't mean it's an excuse to litter though.
In my local board, there's this thread @CryptoprenuerBrainboss created, that has presented a platform for newbies to freely associate and further learn more about the forum this has helped create more indulgence in the local section.

[Frankolala]

OP, you are very correct with everything that you said on this thread. The local board is essential for newbies because most of them will find it difficult to understand the forum and discussions here because they will be confused with the whole set up. I could remember when I first came here, I only post on few boards but as time goes on I got to know that there is where I can meet people from my country and even communicate in our local language, my interest to learn increased.

Locating your local board makes you feel at home and would love to learn because you will be guided and encourged by people from your locality. Some topics that are important on general boards must have been translated in your local language which makes it easy to understand

[Obari]

The importance of local boards can't be overemphasized and I so agree with op that there are Alot of people who don't even know that they have a local board or thread and I encourage people to always identify with their local boards and always do their best to always show and stay active with their local board.

Regarding a user who got most of his merits from the local board, isn't a new case an that very local board you stated has been one of the very active local boards and they also have some very good posters as well as several local board merit sources and is right if you see members of that board growing fine

One of the major reason for a local board is to help members identify with members from their locality so as to get easy mentorship and navigation guide on the forum.

Yeah that's true because my local board was were tutored me to be confident enough to involved myself in most boards I was scared to post but after being welcome properly in my local board, I was familiar with most of the user members there and whenever am surfing the forum and I tend to see a broda am familiar with its give the courage to chip in my own contribution because starting the forum here is all that good for some members because alot of newbie account are overwhelmed with confusion and the board is the perfect place to get rid of that faulty perception.

[Tuturtinular]

Yes, in local board, it is easier for us to discuss because we use our country's native language. I saw several new members who were really taught how to use the forum properly. Starting from how to quote to the rules in the forum. I think it's easier to discuss in the local board because a lot of discussions take place in our country so we know very well the conditions on the ground, besides that because we come from the same country, there is a kind of team spirit and it's easier to get merit there.

True, I know much about technical wallets and how to save in Bitcoin from my local board. In the local board, you will not encounter a language barrier, and you can ask detailed questions there without being afraid of not being understood. But, specifically in my local board (Indonesia), I think that board is pretty tight, there are many reporters who can report you if you are a spammer. I have to be careful posting there because if you deviate from the rule you will be warned, and because of that many Indonesian members are unwilling to post in there and get around to creating a new account just to ask a silly question.

[cryptoaddictchie]

During my time as newbie Im not ecen aware of the local boards and thought of forum as a sophisticated english place for discussion. But later on found out about this local boards and it helps me more to learn since I could interact with our native language and I could supply ideas easily without having hardship to explain and discuss it. Not all are proficient in english and one way to fast learning is through your own language.

This is good reminder that every newbir should or at least visit their locals so to see more clear explanation if they are having hard time with the international boards.

[Bobrox]

Local board have more contribution for beginner easily for understanding with rule in Bitcointalk forum, but disappointed with some beginner prefer ask their question in global forum before reading an easily rule have wrote in their local board. Despite they won't account have history with local board post or some beginner not understand yet in Bitcointalk forum have local board for discussing from Bitcoin discussion until all rule needed in this forum. I am glad with beginner try to expose their self in global board and their mindset want to earn merit but in local board have many board or discussing post become merit source.
I think easily understand with native language than have to make discussion in global board where needed google translate for us English is not our mother language.

It would be nice that you know how hard working Nigerians are and as such are good at contributing to the development of wherever they find themselves. It may please you to know about our monthly overview by Igebotz. This initiative has fast developed the board and making members to be active while on-boarding of new members  also. So far it has contributed to the growth of this platform because more Nigerians have registered so far and also creating of bitcoin awareness and adoption. I  believe these are just the few amongst the numerous reasons why our request was granted to have our own local board.

Ok OK, I thought you were referring to development at a technical level like some updates or some types of tools like Ninja had made. We also have the monthly overview charts made by Hamza2424 he is a hardworking dude. Spending his time in making all these and it really has helped us too, to identify how much we have progressed. But unfortunately, there are not that many members in our local community maybe that is why we are not getting any local board.

But the numbers are increasing slowly, and I hope at some time in the future we will be able to get our own board. Because one the board was made the members will automatically increase. Just like it increased when you got you. And I am happy for you guys. The overall, development in the posts and the number of members on BTT, did increase and you guys are really rocking and keep rocking it. I sometimes sneak onto your board and try to look at your overview section and the posts you guys are making and you are on some next level. And the support your OGs gave to newcomers is so generous.

[Hamza2424]

It really indicates that having a local board can really help in learning and growth, but unfortunately we do not have any Local board yet, but trying our best to improve our stats to heat the request for the Local board again. Having local fellows a person feels more comfortable asking questions and learning from the seniors rather than asking from a person where Language, Region, and Tone barriers affect the conversation greatly.

To grow on the forum the best role is played by the local section as even if we don't have our local board yet on our local thread our community is aggressively active and we are performing much better than some of the boards in terms of merit contribution and in terms of activity.

Oh, here's my name that's so nice of you that you guys remember me in your thoughts, it really feels great while being discussed from any angle. Hmm, Rikafip always does much better I want to give credit to him for his contribution as my work is also inspired by him.

[CryptSafe]

Many members here grew through the local board so I must say that the local board has so much importance here on an this platform. I have read many responses from members here and all  are actually correct and what they have said are the reality of what takes place at the local level.

I believe that the local board stand as a base to give a proper orientation to newbies and guiding them through the platform till they know the whereabouts of the platform. Newbies can freely relate with each other and share ideas with one another. As a matter of fact, problems can be easily resolved when ever there is any at hand. I believe all local boards have reputable members to guide them and listening to their fellow countrymen gives that feel at home vibes.

[Fuso.hp]

People who post in their local section can be identified by looking at their profile which country they belong to. 

The screenshot you shared is a bangla local board id, any local community will support you and help you move forward and if you don't understand something, they will explain you like a private tutor which is not usually available in the global section. I'm not saying global section bros don't help, I'm just implying that there is a huge difference between a private tutor and a school teacher. 
A private tutor will explain you personally, if you don't understand once, you will understand it in multiple ways, but this is not the case with a school teacher, a school teacher will explain you among many students in the class, then you find the difference, which one will you understand better, a private tutor or a school teacher. So as much help as possible from the local board but not so much help from the global section.

[lalabotax]

Local board is a board that was given by Theymos, to people from your country for easy discussion, so that you can learn and contribute in your native language for proper understanding and also to assist one  another.

Usually, newbies prefer local boards, not only because they are already used to the language, but also the character of local boards will certainly be similar, because they come from the same country. Not to mention if the local board is very solid, it really helps to support each other. However, that doesn't mean it will be very easy, because after all it has to be a good post to deserve merits. So, you don't just get merit just like that.
I don't understand other countries, but as far as I know, on my local board, they are very solid in helping each other, discussing and so on. Unfortunately, for now, I personally still post more often globally.

Dear, you are a senior member of our community, how can I now know you, you share monthly reports with my name on them, and when I saw my name on them, I got motivated and started to think that next time I will do more and be in the top. Just as I did when I was in getting education, (school position system). I think my reply will be a little off-topic.

We all are motivated by someone, you are motivated by RF, and who knows who is motivated by you, it seems that I am motivated by you, maybe next time I will make such summary reports when I get to know how to do that, I know things are not that hard but it takes some time. And you are spending your time for us which is precious to me and maybe to our whole community.

[Wakate]

I think op need to understand that not everybody has a local board where they can be getting merits from even though they keep spamming there. There are some local boards that has so many senior people that can be meriting them even with small efforts. When people associates with there local board, they can easily grow in the forum without much stress like others that don't have a local board or that are not interested posting in there local board. There are many ways to grow in this forum and one of the ways is to attach oneself with a local board to be recognized.

If a newbie is not good at speaking or writing in English language then the local board will be useful since the language that is used is your own language before you can join other discussions that are not in your local board (after learning English). If a newbie already knows English then there's a thread called Beginners & Help and there's also a thread that Ratimov have created where different topics are in there for newbies to check called Beginners & Help Encyclopedia.
