Enjoy being a newbie

[Sandra_hakeem]

No one is asking you to appear better than you are. On the contrary, it is easy to know if a person is participating for the sake of learning and for merit points. Focus on learning, learn daily for an hour (read books or watch YouTube videos), and I am certain that the knowledge that will be You have enough within a month to write high-quality posts without needing to plagiarize.

Sometimes, the reverse is the case... There's actually alot to be done to keep your fine posting habits - they could all be looking out to your betterment with time...
you seee, I'm so fucking sick of reading shitty posts in here that sometimes, I'd already have an answer for an overemphasized point without even reading the content.... That's how motivated these merit tyrannies have been overtime..

What I notice in the forum is that newbies do not like to make post in a place that is not well understood by them and sometimes when newbies make a post in the thread that well understood the concept it lead them to write off topic, sometimes what contribute for all this kind of things that in newbies is when they are interested to earn merit so that they can rank up for new positions, anyone that is newbies that the account is not alt account always have off topic or it will create a thread and it will get locked from my understanding, the challenges newbies face in the forum is all this kind of things, so I believe that all this are what leads newbies to problems, secondly when newbies is over interested for making a quality post to rank up it leads them to plagiarism.

Well accepted because a newbie focus should be reading well gradually, listening, observing and absorbing before creating out what he or she has learnt to enable him or her to achieve his or goals in accordance.

Looking at the way people attack newbies on the forum I don't blame people that try to look more knowledgeable than they're by stealing people's contents to present it as theirs but I'm not encouraging this act though just saying we're putting too much pressure on newbies. Aren't the punishment too harsh and encouraging creating of alts accounts by banned users. We have to let loose a little bit, Your points are perfect and anybody's that follows it will get a happy ending. Newbies should focus on learning first before thinking about earning from their time been spent here but from the beginning majority of people's been introduced here were been told that they can make money and that's why they're always money minded and not get what the forum is about.

If newbies were writing on threads that they understand then we won't be having problem with the nuisance they create on the forum from their spamming but they don't. They actually are guilty of writing more on thread that they don't understand which leads to spam that older users are complaining about. Newbie should enjoy been a newbie and don't put too much pressure on themselves to write very quality. They can write the best way they can but not spam the forum and engage on topic they have understanding on. With time they'll understand the forum properly and can participate on more quality discussion. One way to know a genuine newbie is the way he engage the forum as they don't always start by writing well structured and quality information but just general knowledge.

[alastantiger]

OP you have written beautifully well. Most newbies who are genuinely newbies do lack forum confidence. They are eager to leave the newbie rank and so instead of enjoying the ride they will start creating threads advice other newbies. Their topics will be more of quantity and not quality. They will not do their research properly or even cross-check on the forum if that topic has been discussed already. They just go ahead to duplicate the topic and spam the forum. However, I have seen exceptional newbies who are patient and follow their growth on the forum slowly which pays off in the end.

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

Are you sure you're a newbie?😅
You're welcome, hope you're ready to follow the rules of this Forum because if you don't, is going to be hard for you to blend in and it might look like you're not welcome in the Forum. The information you have to share can't be taken to account, so just take this Forum serious as you take your account.

[Fransiyum]

I was newbie on many things that I'm expert now.

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.

That's a common misconception that newbies have created about themselves while there is no reality in that. As long as a newbie is participating in discussions while truly contributing something in the discussion and is writing constructive posts, they will get the same attention as any other rank members get, but if their participation is writing one liners and posts that make no sense or contribute to the discussion, they are meant to be ignored in that case.

Since most people consider having a lot of Merits being a symbol of constructiveness, you can find a lot of newbies having more Merits than they require to become a Member and that shows that it is not about your rank but it's about how you carry yourself in the forum that determines whether you will get the recognition you deserve or not.

Enjoy being a newbie

No matter how weird this might sound, there are alot of things that newbies enjoy which established members may never enjoy.

• A newbie can quote wrongly and can only be corrected.
• A newbie with little efforts will earn merits easily than an established member 
• A newbie has more chances of conducting research as the course of learning

Newbies have alot of freedom to tour and enjoy the forum except the freedom to copy and paste other people's work.

[knowngunman]

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.

The truth is Forum is difficult for people who found themselves here without a guardian to give them proper orientation about the forum, rules and everything that has to do with the forum entirely. Most of the newbies are talented and have little idea about cryptocurrency, they also know how to write quality posts and can read to comprehend as well but the problem is no matter how brilliant you are, if you are in a new environment that you have little or no knowledge about, you might feel that strange attitude of confusion and not knowing where to start from. It's normal to have this feeling and you might get over it as time goes on.

Likewise, it's worthy of noting that some newbies are so dumb and they are not in any way ready to learn with the reluctant attitude they exhibit sometime. It's not strange seeing newbies teaching old members about how to succeed in the forum as if it's a career while they are suppose to calm and learn first. I know the forum ain't so easy to navigate but if they can exercise patience and dedicate time for it, then they might find it the as the most amazing place to be.

• A newbie with little efforts will earn merits easily than an established member 

I think I disagree with this as I believe the opposite is the reality. Newbies are easily viewed from the angle of merit farming even when their intention might just be to contribute to discussion. When they put so much efforts to impress, they might likely be seen as desperate. I have not done a large sample size but doing a little check on the topics that receive merits, you will those from newbies are very small compared to those of older members. This is expected anyways because the quality of the post of the newbies will definitely be lower than those of the experienced guys.
Note: my comment is entirely my opinion, I can be wrong.

• A newbie has more chances of conducting research as the course of learning

Newbies have alot of freedom to tour and enjoy the forum except the freedom to copy and paste other people's work.

This is expected because the forum itself is still strange to them hence they need to put more efforts. Besides, the older guys were also newbies at some point and had gone through the same process. Now they are better informed and already know how to get any information they want.

OP you have written beautifully well. Most newbies who are genuinely newbies do lack forum confidence.

They will not do their research properly or even cross-check on the forum if that topic has been discussed already. They just go ahead to duplicate the topic and spam the forum.

This is what we often encounter in this forum, many beginners push themselves too hard to create topics even though the topic has already been created by someone else, so it gives the impression that they are hunting for merit. This can be seen because they create a topic without doing a cross check first, so it's not just spam happens but also many beginners end up being plagiarized. In fact, beginners should have confidence in the process of increasing their account, because by discussing frequently they will increase their knowledge so that when they make posts it will produce quality, not quantity.

However, I have seen exceptional newbies who are patient and follow their growth on the forum slowly which pays off in the end.

If beginners have patience and follow the process, the results they will get will definitely be much better, in essence nothing is instant.

[jrrsparkles]

Actually, you don't need to stay as newbie to enjoy the forum and if you stay for too long then people might assume that you are dumb to learn things that are too basic. Anyway, not only newbie come here to learn, its for everyone irrespective of the profile ranks and one who got the knowledge will guide you in the right way but never forget this is just a forum and don't expect everything shared here to be a fact especially a random user.

[CryptSafe]

Of a truth newbies are very much  delicate when it comes to their ranking here but not all newbies are newbie as we think. Most of them are well groomed in the field but for the fact that they are being tagged a newbie by the position of their accounts, that is they are just new by virtue of their account position on the platform but are knowledgeable enough about the system much more than some high rank. Little wonder some newbie accounts here are tagged as a reason of their  performance based on the way they operate on the platform.

Nevertheless, it is good to ask questions because only those who ask questions are liable to get answers to their questions and that gives them more knowledge and insight about what they had asked about but if one decides to go mute and feel they know it all, they would always be a shadow of themselves roaming around and learning through the hard way which likely would cost them time and delay.

[Dunamisx]

Well accepted because a newbie focus should be reading well gradually, listening, observing and absorbing before creating out what he or she has learnt to enable him or her to achieve his or goals in accordance.

Is there anyone who will even love to remain being a newbie, what's the joy in remaining to be a newbie when you have a long way to go and you're also being active on the forum, newbie is the shortest rank and i don't see any pleasure in staying here for so long, if you really know what you're doing, it's not about us learning or listening, it's about paying attention to what we were being told and taking further and necessary actions for their best results.

[m2017]

The forum is mainly concerned about newbies, and a lot of beginners' questions has been tackled by intelligent and worthy top ranked members.

The forum is aimed at everyone. Here any user can communicate, receive and share knowledge, regardless of his rank and time spent on the forum. Here, everyone's word has weight if it is said in essence and to the point.

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

Why are you not satisfied with the tactic of expressing your thoughts the way you think without the need to please high ranks?

Though, silly or repeated questions are not welcomed in the forum. Yet, they're some easy questions we would want to ask as newbies, but because it makes us sound as true novice, we'd want to bypass asking them.

That is, you are embarrassed to seem like newbies when you are newbies? What nonsense?

As we'd want to show the forum members, we're doing enough research and reading about bitcoin and the forum entirely.

This is highly commendable.

And, most times such threads, centering on teaching, may not help us as newbies because what we tend to teach we can't relate or follow up in the discussions.

Switch to other threads that can help you as a beginner. What problems?

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.

There are other reasons for plagiarism. One of which is a banal lack of knowledge of the forum rules. And another reason is laziness and inability to generate your own content.

Being a newbie in the forum is almost a one time experience for every member and we must behave as one.

Hence, I'd encourage newbies to always come up with those questions, which they think is too basic or simple and need not to be asked.

And I would advise beginners to learn to use the search on the forum, so as not to create repeating topics with the same questions over and over again.

It is even worse for people who are new to Bitcoin and the blockchain technology.

One thing that is certain is that the process will become easy with time if the determination is there. As a newbie, there is no point rushing the process or struggling to impress people... just be yourself, ask question and commit some time to reading because that is the way to grow here.

That's why there are many tutorials out there and it's helpful to a newbie to understand that thing and those users who are actually good in crypto even though they are newbie in the forum then they can share thier knowledge to us. But a real newbies which is no knowledge about crypto then we can say that they are need help  by the older member but not totally everytime they need help. But newbies itself must learn by using search button.

I appreciate your opinion, and believe me, your opinion is totally realistic. I understand from your angle of reasoning, which is;
Many people are skeptical of sending merits to newbies, they might believe it is an alt account or a part of account farm as you said. But also when the body language of the said newbie is positive, there are good chances of rapid growth.

What I meant by newbie recieving merits with little efforts is that, a newbie discuss something about LN stands a chance of being merited than me discussing same topic. Every newbie account is invariably regarded as a novice account, even if someone behind it is knowledgeable.[/list]

You are right mate, I know how many days, even got to a month that I kept watching and learning about the activities here before I was able to make threads and even reply topics here it really isn't easy at all as everything will look so scanty in the eyes like it feels like someone who is in another part of the world as it isn't what people outside this forum are thinking that you will be thinking, your approach and lifestyle begins to change as soon as one join this life changing forum.

Your discussion with people changes and tend to even interact more with people here than outside here. It's really a great experience and I'm glad I found this transforming forum and I would really want to thank the people that made this forum a reality and stood strong for many years now though I don't know all of you but as you'll can see your efforts are yielding fruits.

sharing same experience, is not am easy thing being a newbie, just roaming about the forum trying to understand all that is going on  learning from threads and reply to questions by forum members, a newbie is more like a baby expected to grow in to adult.

[Kristiyana]

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. 

I see it less necessary to create topic thread as a lower rank member, my thoughts should still be based on reading and trying to gain much knowledge.
I won't call it lack of self confidence but I think at this my level of ranking am not even at a very good position to create threads and start teaching because I see very well experienced members which am not yet qualified to teach them because I still have a lot to learn from them. So I do more good than harm of reading, answering and asking questions that Is of utmost interest

You are absolutely correct mate. It marvels me when newbie creat post anyhow and to an extent of advising people in the forum I keep asking myself who are they actually advising the snr men or their fellow newbie because they don't specify or direct it. though some of them can or may have an idea on Bitcoin or crypto before joining the forum but that doesn't mean they should be advising people in this forum. The best way to improve or grow is to bring down oneself, learn etc and don't try to showcase yourself.
