CORRECT AND NOT ATTACK

[ultrloa]

How can you learn in a public forum from experienced people who have different temperaments and expect not to be criticized? It's near impossible, so the best thing is to take everything said to you on advisory level, take the ones that you think will benefit you and simply ignore the negative ones, instead of complaining, afterall you're not paying anyone in the forum to tutor you. I joined this forum without any knowledge of crypto, I had my own fair share of criticism, but i didn't let it bother me, i tried to learn from what I was criticized or attached on, today I've increased my crypto knowledge substantially, and I'm grateful to members in this forum, even those that criticized me helped made me become better.

Sometimes being corrected triggers them as if they had been attack or criticized base on statement or words posted. People need to realize that they would never receive those unwanted words if they know something base on the topic discuss so instead of feeling bad on situation much better for them to learn something from people criticizing them so that they can correct what those negative attitude they set or wrong expectation they look forward towards crypto and became more better people or a investor. For sure if they take this and correct theirselves then provably there's more bright future for them on crypto scene. Its so good that we deal multiple attitudes of people in this forum so that we can learn how to deal and react base on situation also to learn how to approach on certain situation that will happen in future.

This is true. Even though the intention is to correct someone because of what they did is wrong or a mistake but still they feel that they are attacked when the truth is that the person who give the correction is not attacking at all but to help. What I can say about them is that if they don't like being attacked which is not the intention of the person who is doing it then they shouldn't be in this forum and should find another forum. Reporting newbies is not wrong if the newbie have done something wrong like plagiarism and being a scammer.

It depends on words and tone used to express education effort. Some people can use harsh words that make newbies feel uncomfortable and it's not good, not friendly. However newbies must admit what they did wrong, see positive things from contributions of other members and grow up thicker skin. Some posters can have great skills and use soft words that can be more favorite by newbies.

If their intention is good, newbies must see it and move on, improve themselves.

Reporting newbies is not wrong if the newbie have done something wrong like plagiarism and being a scammer.

So many people hear about bitcointalk forum from friends, families, internet and so on they where not given the full details of the Dos and Don'ts (the rules of the forum) of the forum. they where only told about the juicy parts of the forum because of that they are excited to join without making deep research.

Newbie should be corrected and not to be use to earn merits, most of the top rank members earn most of their merits from attacking and reporting newbie.

The purpose of merits system is to encourage quality and helpful post in the forum. So if someone earns merit by correcting a newbie, it means the merit is serving the purpose it was introduced for and there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. This mentality is the reason some newbies are not comfortable being here. Take a look at your profile for example and see the date you registered and the amount of merits you have earned. You can not grow when you feel attacked when you are being corrected. For anyone who's interested to learn will ignore all the criticism and learn from them instead of being discouraged or feel offended.

It doesn't matter whether you are invited by a friend or you discovered this forum yourself, it's your sole responsibility to get yourself acquainted with the rules. Even in school, some times students are being discipline by teachers as a form of correction of wrong doings. You can not expect newbies to be treated like an when from all indications they're not ready to comply with the forum ethics.

@OP you're a Jr. Member ranks now, you can "use" newbie to earn merits.

Many high ranked users are willing to teach anyone in this forum, there are also low ranked users can teach high ranked users, knowledge can't be measured by ranks.

There are many bad people, let's say a scammer. Scammer has a bad intention because they want to steal someone else valuable thing, there's no religion or parents is supporting become a scammer. There's no reason to judge and help a scammer because scammer is always a scammer.

This is true, we can rate ideas base on rank, there are some higher rank members whom might not have the kind of knowledge and skill some new members who just come into this forum have, as there rank is just what’s rated as newbie and not what they have in there head.

Regardless of the rank, if I see anything educating which I can learn from anyone I always try as much as I can not to look on the rank but focus on what I can get from them.

CORRECT AND NOT ATTACK

How do you mean?
There is actually no official rule or dos and don'ts here on Bitcointalk the rules are actually official unofficial rules.
This is the internet where there is absolute freedom so it's up to newbies to either learn and contribute to the forum or spam and try scam and end up being either banned or your account filled with negative tags.
Every one on this forum even the legendary members you mentioned were once newbies with zero merit. And of course some of the high ranked members can be rude or thick headed here but you are going to have to learn to live with it or should I say learn despite it.

It is just too funny seeing post like this. We don't have to tell people about how to behave. Everyone of us comes from a different background and different faculty. There are people that correct through the use of harsh words or foul words which is seen as normal to them. We can't change them or change the want that they have to behave in the way that we want. Everyone of us has our own opinion and we don't have to force opinion on people especially if it's our own opinion. We need to take things the way it is.

IMPORTANT OF TOP RANK MEMBERS
Before you are been named or given a rank I believe you have pass through many challenges, obstacles before reaching the level you are now. I believe there is a reason why you are at that level. they are vital importance of being a top rank members
1: To guide and not to judge
2: To support
3: To Teach and so many more

I believe that Bitcoin talk forum is a home of knowledge and knowledge is acquired and distributed.
 

To correct and tell newbies what to do when they’re doing the wrong thing should be perceived as teaching them about the do’s and don’ts of the forum even if they get merits through that. You can’t conclude that by correcting them means that they’re bullying them and should not be done in that way. This is a public forum and each person have their own way to correct, judge or direct someone. The day you stop perceiving every correction, critics as bullying, you’ll have a smooth ride in the forum’s journey.

We are taught to be friendly to everyone, but sometimes the language of writing is very difficult to understand, even if you feel attacked, sometimes that is not the intention of the writer who is attacking. Maybe if you see and meet in person it will be a little different. In fact I think everyone who started felt that way including me when I first joined this forum. We all just have to understand everyone has different styles and good intentions. We just have to get used to it, because I'm sure the people who give advice are the ones who have good intentions.
