Heres to all you newbies out there - You got this!

How do you become a beginner here properly and correctly?
I'm still messing around with the rules of this forum, and how can I make it better?

Newbies - Read before posting

This topic covers basically everything a newbie should know before joining this community.

First off, learn the ins and outs of this forum before diving in.  The rules are like golden guidelines around here - know them well.  After that, take some time to explore different threads.  When you feel like you have got a handle on things, speak up where you have something to say.  Ask questions too - most folks are usually helpful and  oh and dont just spam post after post.  Better to really think through what you write.  Quality over quantity and all that. If you have a specific question about anything, feel free to ask.

I've seen newbies creating long copy and paste threads, which ends up not being attended to because of the plagiarism and the volume of the thread, and as well the OP not following up with what they've said to back up the knowledge shared. And when after investing hours creating those threads, the applauds they expected doesn't appear, they'll feel not being good enough. Enjoy the process.  

There are various kinds of newbies on this forum. And when we visit this board, we can see how many newbie accounts come to say hello, talk about their desire to develop, and so on. develop themselves? Maybe we don't know, maybe they have really learned and gone through the process, it's just that they haven't been able to express it well in this forum.

Or it could be that there are some people who are enthusiastic at the start, then change easily, especially if there is disturbance. Not only that, when they feel complicated with this forum, we can often find newbie accounts that don't develop and are just abandoned. One of the reasons is because they cannot develop. even though their inability to develop is because of how they manage their position in this forum. {Even though there are many ways to stay and develop here. It's even explained in great detail, which should be a good lesson for them, but not all newbies want to go through it. So, consistency in carrying out each process in this forum must be maintained.

Unfortunately, this forum is not "newbie-friendly".

I am very sorry to say that, but High ranked members usually mock or disrespect if a newbie raises an opinion.
This way new members get discouraged to participate, and of course this means that knowledge sharing might be less as well...

Being discouraged and not being respected will of course have a reason for this treatment. But it won't be done completely without reason because you are just a beginner. there are many beginners who also get full appreciation from high ranking members for their good knowledge and not being too hypocritical. Saying this forum is not beginner friendly means you still don't have enough metal to face what's even worse, this is only the beginning friends, you still have a long way to go, because if you take it for granted you give up, that's wrong.

His opinion may not define his future in the forum, he's actually responding to what he has received in the forum. Yes, it's true, but isn't it enjoyable on the long run? When you look back and remember those days of criticisms from high ranked members you'd laugh about it. The forum is not against such criticism, members can say anything as long as it tallies with the aim of the thread. I'm beginning to see less of those responses. don't know if it's only newbies that get to see them in the forum. Yet saying that knowledge sharing is less, phonakAG, is a wrong statement. It's impossible to see an opinion that gets more than two critic response from top ranked members. Others will still share their opinion with the newbie and encourage him to improve. The issue most time is that newbies try to move faster than they should. Thereby, making blunders that will ignite being mocked by other members. I'd also use this opportunity to say, you should hang on, soon those responses won't be appearing on your screen anymore. The fun part of it, remains that high rank members don't mean to criticize your opinion. The truth is that they use it as a way to laugh and feel a bit happy. As though it's always funny to come across those responses, especially when it's directed to somebody else. No one would be happy to see it directed to them. As a newbie if you have the right response that is reasonably funny, you can send them back to the critic. Don't take them to heart, it's just a forum itch.

Newbie is not a rank one should stay in for long time, it's the shortest duration of rank on the forum if the newbie is active and knows what he's doing, we were all once a newbie and started like one sometime ago, such had been a ladder for us to where we are now, it may never had been easy in the past but when we give it every necessary efforts demanded, it will be our own pride later to have overcome the challenges of being a newbie.

I don't think there is any time duration to this rank, because some people that stumble on this forum from the onset really get confused on what to do. So it now depends how are want to learn here and even be part of the discussion to share your insight and thats what most people fail to learn on time as most people just get the impression that the more you create thread the more you are chanced to grow which to some extent is false.

If a user is not too agitated with how he will rank up in the forum, he won't be bothered by the time of being here.
Because reading thread after thread will be very helpful for a crypto user to learn a lot of things.
So ranking up is just a bonus. Also, it may be hard these days to rank up because of the merit system, but if you enjoy being a member here,
the time spent in this forum may be very useful for you because you will get pointers and insights that are not available in other sites.

Where do you have so much confidence in your conclusions? Look at your registration date and also look at mine. How are you different from me? Could it be that you are misusing the forum? Have you seen the mark on your trust? Do you still consider yourself a beginner? And of course, the conclusion that older members will be unfair to newbies is completely wrong if you genuinely communicate with people on the forum without using multiple accounts, plagiarism, or anything else that the forum frowns on. I was hoping you could show me a newbie who was insulted here for his interest in Bitcoin.

[KingsDen]

As a newbie it feels good deep down our thoughts to craft a difficult looking thread to please the high ranked members.

Lovesmafamilis discovered this long ago, in her words she says "They are newbies who pretend to be more intelligent than they are"
This is not good for any newbie, whether in the short or long run

Such things, has caused many newbies to fall for plagiarism and as well dumping their threads without participating in the discussions happening under the thread.

The plagerism aspect could also be because of what is said above. But for newbie dumping their thread, it is something common among newbies including myself when I was a newbie. When conversations spans upto 5 pages, a genuine newbie who doesn't know how to quote will find it difficult to involve in the conversation.

Coining out a thread on what we don't fully understand, just to stand out, and look like a very intelligent newbie may not help our growth in the forum.

This will either drag unnecessary eyes to the newbie or send them to ignore lists.

If we must be honest with ourselves, it is not easy being a newbie in a forum like this. You will be overwhelmed by many things such as the rules of the forum and each board, how to post, quote, add image and many things. Even though there have been threads raised to address all these, searching for them and being able to understand what was written in those threads can be challenging especially for those who are not into coding. It is even worse for people who are new to Bitcoin and the blockchain technology.

What I have also noticed about being a newbie in this forum and not understanding about coding is the search part. Many newbies don’t know how to search the forum to see for themselves if there’s a thread created about a question they are about to ask. In their willingness to know the answer to their question and inability to use the forum search engine well, they rush into asking those questions. Newbies like this shouldn’t be criticised, it is a gradual process and they will learn with time. The humble and more inquisitive ones are always the ones that enjoy the newbie days more.

[Nechiequ]

I would like very mercantile people to understand that knowledge is sometimes worth more than temporary earnings.

Yes, at first I thought backwards like that, but as time went by, I realized that it was true that Knowledge is more valuable than income alone.

That topic also helped me a lot.

At first I wasn't careful enough to pay attention to all the forum rules, sometimes as a beginner I was too lazy to read and understand them. but as time goes by little by little I try to improve it.
I remember my seniors reminding me that what I was doing as a beginner was not good.
Over time I realized that what the seniors said was also good, but at that time I prioritized my ego, even though it was very detrimental to me.
[That's my wrong story]😁

Some never had the chance of experiencing what it takes to be a newbie, talking about those ones who buy account, they don't like stress and they feeling getting to the top doesn't need hard work. Newbie is the easiest rank to move out from like you said but being active is another thing to consider, some members find it hard to stay online to leave that rank. Seriously there's nothing to enjoy being a newbie.

Newbie is a process where we are truly a beginner in this forum, and indeed why people better buy an account because they feel that being a newbie is difficult, and as usual what they say in their contribution is always in doubt that makes them feel not feeling good to be a newbie.

But for those of us who go through newbie times it is very cool, because indeed the newbie phases are quite difficult for me before the merit system is here, is it now that after there is a merit system it is quite difficult for a newbie, but there is no need to worry that it is now now Many local merit sources can help newbies build their accounts and rise.

[Liliana1304]

Most of the times, these newbies come here and create threads that ask questions that should enlighten them more about the forum and crypto but you find that some don't bother to read! Its as of that thread that they created was for creation purpose alone and as the Op noticed that some create threads and don't follow the discussion in it and this is true because most of them don't really have much to contribute and even when others have helpfully supplied answers there's little to no urge to read further so they can contribute too, simply because probably Mr A posted and his work was merited and theirs wasn't, so it kind of dampens their desire to ask.

Where I come from, there's the saying that someone who asks questions, hardly misses his way but I feel some newbies are afraid to do so because they feel what they want to ask has been treated and prefer instead to not ask so they can be cleared. The essence of coming into the forum, aside from sig campaigns, is to learn about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, how to make good investments and so on but that purpose gets defeated if you choose to treat every potential knowledge given here lightly or turn tail and run once you get "attacked" by higher ranking members.

Moving faster as a beginner will be an advantage for them, but when they move too much and without control, as you said they will only make blunders and make the higher ranking people laugh.
There are a lot of such beginners, but some beginners also have their qualities, they can even surpass high ranks with good basic knowledge. It's best, regardless of rank, knowledge is important, reading from various sources and starting to learn how to think critically and of course participate in discussions well.

I like to take it that you don't like be corrected or see correction as an insult or disrespect because everyone in this particular forum was once a newbie like you and have been here, if am not mistaking this is one of the most influential and creative crypto community that value every of its member as they understand the value and important of have more members here in the community.

The forum is not against newbie, I will give you that from experience as I know this from my own journey here, if nothing then I have been even encourage more during my short stay here. Believe me I was someone who had hate on anything called crypto and especially Bitcoin but this thought was cleared upon my activeness here as I was properly guided to understanding the basic of the importance of Bitcoin and crypto in general.

To be honest with you newbies don't care to read the rules before posting or doing anything concerning the Forum, to some is like a waste of time to do so, they'll be like "hey, what's the need to go through all of these rules when I know how to post or create topics"?
They make use of what they feel they know and sometimes they don't know when they start going against the rules. It really doesn't help at all rather it kills their ability to do better and some they feel they know it all. It even better to lie low and acquire more knowledge on things you feel you know especially trading and other crypto related things.

Some people will never outgrow their newbie phase, they will either keep posting as newbies or will give up and leave this forum. Not everyone is capable of earning merits as it requires demonstrating Bitcoin knowledge and we all know from our schools that some people just fail no matter what.

Why are people even trying to grow their accounts, when they can focus on growing their knowledge instead? I know signature campaigns are nice, but there's MUCH more money to be made if you actually know this industry inside and out.

Signature campaigns are a reliable source of income and for people from poor countries that is good enough, while advanced opportunities require some investment, set of skills, risk and so on.

Why are people even trying to grow their accounts, when they can focus on growing their knowledge instead? I know signature campaigns are nice, but there's MUCH more money to be made if you actually know this industry inside and out.

Most of the people have this idea in the forum that how they want to get knowledge means initially that the main aim of these people is knowledge. But with the passage of time, the interest of these people also ends. To get more knowledge and slowly see the members, more interest is created in money, and we try to find out how to get selected with a good signature and more. Get more weekly payments. And even if it is seen, it is human nature to earn more money, which means he wants me to earn more money to meet his needs.

My opinion is also based on your opinion that, foremost, we should focus on knowledge because the real purpose of this forum is to gather knowledge through discussion among members, and yes, of course, signatures should join after that, but the first priority is knowledge. Give to the knowledge of why it can show you the secret that no one else can give.

So imagine learning BitcoinTalk as your knowledge base, and then you can use that knowledge to earn money. That is, through a signature. Because as much as money can give you knowledge, nothing else can.

Is best to get your account yourself and build it on your own, sometimes I say is just lack of patience and desperation that why the buying of account come to play.
These days I don't really see that local board merit source engaging in helping newbies that much, is like the merit source in the local board don't really have enough merit to help newbies and is a bit difficult to identify the real newbies because these days old members do open a new account and act like newbies.

[great12345]

I'm newbie, I hope I'm welcome here and I'm ready to learn about the industry and share information here in forum.

[ndutndut]

there are some members who don't care about their ranking in this forum but they get a lot of merit so they move up the rankings without pressure, I really salute them. for newbie, if your goal in creating an account on this forum is only to get Bitcoin, then you have to throw away that expectation immediately because it's not that easy to get it if your account is still a newbie. just look at what members who can't wait to get ranked are doing, the quality of their posts is really messed up, they're just making their account's reputation bad.

I agree with you. It all depends on the mindset of each person who joins this forum. If they join this forum just because they want to get BTC or income then they will be discouraged and of course they will not develop because their goal is wrong then their expectations will also be difficult to achieve. That's why it's not uncommon to see lots of beginners popping up but they only stick around for a while because they will easily give up.

But on the other hand, if the aim of joining here is to broaden your horizons, seek knowledge and learn about crypto in more depth, then we will get what we want. Naturally, we will get merit and the account will continue to grow. Looking for information, and liking to discuss, our mindset will change too, of course our posts will also be of higher quality and less chaotic.
