How to be more visible in the forum as a beginner

[Lida93]

Some sections I feel it's not too good for a newbie to engage in discussion are: The reputation board, Loan section, Meta, development and technical discussion, scam accusation and project development. It is assumed that users who get involved in these sections are rooted in the forum and has spent so many years in the forum and have experience about the discussions in those sections so a newbie getting involved in those sections literally makes them look naive and that account looking suspicious as an alt.

What I have noticed about new users getting in the forum is that they all respectively have a particular board of their strength in the very beginning of their journey in the forum that they start with by constantly dwelling much on that particular board.

A user can before joining the forum have technical knowledge and with specialization in computer science skills like coding and others. You don't expect such user to be fond of posting in politics and society board because he is a newbie when he can by his knowledge share in the technical discussion board, project development board instead of Politics and society just to prove he is a newbie.

This is why it's very likely not to be true using the board a newbie posts in regularly to use to identify if he's an actual newbie or just a disguise old user under a newbie account. There are other glaring ways to identify but just not certainly this way.

To be honest, this forum has benefited many people by allowing them to learn from the experiences of others. I can simply state that this forum has evolved into a learning center where people may come and learn about topics they were previously unaware of. Some individuals merely come here to make money, but what some of them learn here is worth more than the money they make each week in this forum. It is nice that not all the boards new users can just visit without knowing the concept of the board, but the boards you mentioned earlier are the greatest boards where new users can visit to learn how the others are running, and you can see that from there they can also engaged in every board's.

However, some new users do not comprehend that, while somes do not wait to get technical understanding first. When they first introduce some new users to this site, they will just begin visit boards that are not supported, which is why they frequently get lost here.

And one thing about this forum is that whatever you come to do, you must learn before you can do what brought you to the forum, and that's why even people participating in the signature campaign must reach some certain stage in the forum before they can start. Once you are in this forum, you just have to learn everything possible. However, any board can be visited by users, and the only challenges they have are how to communicate effectively on those boards and write exactly what will suit that board.

while somes do not wait to get technical understanding first. When they first introduce some new users to this site, they will just begin visit boards that are not supported, which is why they frequently get lost here.

The forum has many aspects to learn, not only the technical aspects, and we still have many individuals in this forum who have already reached certain ranks, including the highest rank in the forum, and did not know anything about the technical aspect of bitcoin, so for beginners, the main thing is their background knowledge of bitcoin and some other things they have to know before joining any conversation in the forum.

Although some users get confused because they don't really wait and learn the appropriate things before beginning to do things, beginners continue to get lost because they did not learn at first.

What do you mean by more visible in the first place? In whatever context you are looking at it from, it is a lackluster attitude for a newbie seeking for visibility in the forum. It is your post that earn you recognition and not by forcing yourself to be known. You may end up being a troll if you after visibility because that's the only way you can get noticed quickly. This forum is a discussion place to embroaden our knowledge, it's not a celebrity contest center where you need visibility to be recognized and win award. There are numerous legendaries who you don't know they exist, but they are. The goal is to gain the knowledge you seek and improve yourself with it.

I didn't take my time to read your post, but from what I've summarized from it is that you are wrong. You shouldn't conclude from your own perspective about how the from works by saying that most newbies who post in the reputation board, Loan session, Meta, development and technical discussion, scam accusation and project development are misinterpreted or called Alts. I've literally not seen any reputation thread here on the forum where members make false accusations. expect for some that were misunderstood. All reputation thread that have been raised always comes with full proof and evidence of linked Alt accounts. So except a newbie is actually guilty of such I see no reason why he shouldn't engage in those sections you've listed above.

Op is not wrong in his assertion and you're right too but I sense a bit of misunderstanding here. I understand the point Op is talking from because I have also seen where a user received a neutral tag for engaging deeply in conversation in such board. In most cases, such users eventually turn to be alt accounts. However, making a contribution in those boards doesn't mean one is alt but the nature of conversation will surely tell between a normal user and alt account.

Newbies are smarter these days. Regardless of their position, some have been making quality and meaningful posts already in such boards where they find comfortable to post. And I do believe that being visible in the forum will not determine as to which board you are going to post, but it’s all about on how genuine and authentic your post is, and as long as you get to post relevant information that will bring new insights for other members, I think you have already been starting to find your own spotlight in the forum.

And to be honest, this should not be the focus of all newbies in general. Instead, they should be working on knowledge acquisition first and understanding every post in the forum most especially those posts that suit to them. One should not be pressured to become visible in the forum at an early time, because once his post will start to leave impact on other members, I guess acknowledgement from the forum members will eventually follow.

Totally wrong you have got it all wrong.

Just understand one thing that a person might be an expert in the crypto domain but new to forum as there is no hard and fast rule or certification that only thos who grow up their rank in this forums can be expert because there is much more in crypto world outside this forum hence you cannot limit newbie to a certain section and there is no restriction as it's free for all.

Couldn't agree more. Newbies do not necessarily mean that they can’t be knowledgeable as other forum members, simply because their current position denotes so. Of course, that won’t guarantee that since they are beginners, crypto discussion is also new to them. Note that crypto learning is free outside the forum, and with due diligence, you can already educate yourself with the free materials found in the internet. With this, you can’t put limits to these beginners where they find convenient to post. As long as they don’t break rules and stay on point to their chosen topics, I still think they will build their own identity in the forum soon and will be as valuable like heros and legendary forum members in the future.

You have just said it all, the work of a newbie is to learn more about the forum even if they are conversant with any of the board it should not mean that they have to be making posts there to show their own knowledge, they can just relax and learn more and add to the knowledge they already have.

There is no need for a Total newbie to be visible in the forum at all because at that stage they should still be in the learning process even those that are the most recognized in the forum are people that have been in the forum for long and has gained enough activity, merit and has been very active since their registration here so it takes time before you can gain recognition here in the forum.

There is no doubt about that because you can often find newbies who are knowledgeable about a lot of subjects as they make topics or posts in different sections of the forum, this is because they might have a newbie rank in the forum but it doesn't mean they don't have any knowledge at all because a person who joins this forum doesn't have to be new in the industry and they can have a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin and other aspects about the cryptocurrency industry.

People need to acknowledge this fact and give them the recognition and respect they deserve instead of thinking that they are alt accounts of higher-ranked members of this forum because even if that is a possibility, it doesn't always have to be the case and an actual newbie can also be knowledgeable.

How long should a newbie wait before making posts he is knowledgeable on?
This forum is free for all to learn from each other. Legendary members can actually learn from newbies too, newbies will not grow if they are restricted from expressing themselves well. No section of the forum rules restricts a newbie from making posts in certain boards, as long as they do not go against the rules. Its is normal for a newbie to make posts in Bitcoin board, economy, local board, and other boards whose knowledge in them can be gotten from other sources aside the Bitcointalk forum. But, once a newbie begins to make posts on technical issues about the forum, he/she is a suspect and should be treated as one.

in forums, the most important thing is ethics, when you have extensive knowledge, as much as possible don't be arrogant and arrogant with the opinions of other members, build your reputation first and then make dictated posts, the influence of seniority will also always be inherent in the forum, this can't be removed

There is no need for a Total newbie to be visible in the forum at all because at that stage they should still be in the learning process even those that are the most recognized in the forum are people that have been in the forum for long and has gained enough activity, merit and has been very active since their registration here so it takes time before you can gain recognition here in the forum.

as I said above, recognition will come naturally when you make posts that are consistently constructive and also have an impact on other members, because usually people who are arrogant and arrogant will only end up with bad recognition, you have to build your reputation slowly

I have seen so many newbie account who tend to have broad and well acquainted knowledge on Bitcoin and even involved themselves active in some discussion here but there is one stigma that has been tag to almost all newbie and that's because of the behaved of some of these newbies as they are frequently known for the low contribution and even some of them refusal to learn here in the community.

You can’t actually guarantee one’s position in the forum and tell that he’s more intelligent and knowledgeable than the other. Most newbies that have entered in the forum these days have come more prepared and that they have stock information already about bitcoin and the crypto space prior to their forum entrance. So you can’t stop these people from posting on different boards which they find it more interesting to discuss, most especially if it becomes a hot topic in the forum.

and many beginner accounts are able to discuss better than those who have been around for a long time and are seniors in this forum. But maybe there are only a few beginners and they are able to develop their account quite well and it is easy to level up. Now don't just look at whether he is a beginner or not, but what he discusses and explains is something important or not. but there are also many beginners who only use Ai to create threads and such.

[Woodie]

Just  to put it out there not every newbie is a beginner, I have read some interesting write-ups from beginners on the forum and being noticed(visible) is about staying on board's you all more comfortable and knowledgeable about and interactions with like minded users comes naturally without breaking a sweat...btw for as long as a user  also avoids mega threads chances are high of standing out.

Oh and just a heads up, if you are going to be so desperate to the point of using Ai to write content, chances are that you won't survive being on the forum for a long time.. AFAIK the secret is to be as natural as you can and in no time merit will follow and ranking up follows..

Btw, the more a user contributes to technical threads/topics the easier it is to be noticed, what you do with this information is up to you

Yes, some may still own newbie position but that doesn't mean that they are still new in the market, or their knowledge about crypto is limited. And their posts in the forum proves it as they can also be as knowledgeable as other long time forum members. Hence, this is just the same that newbies these days will not limit their posts in certain boards, but as long as they have something relevant to say, they will make it as their asset so they will be noticed in the forum. Something that OP may have misunderstood because in reality, newbies may only be visible in the forum the moment they start contributing for the benefit of other members, even if these certain boards suggested by OP are not posted.

[freedomgo]

I won't recommend POLITICS AND SOCIETY to beginners especially when they want to learn about Bitcoin because that board is full of not so useful stuff and beginners won't be able to learn a lot by reading threads on that board or making threads at that board.

In my eyes the best boards for beginners should be Bitcoin discussion, Beginners & Help, and Speculation. Those boards are mostly related to Bitcoin and the thread at those boards can be very valuable for the beginners.

You can’t stop these newbies from posting into that board if they feel they have serious information to share, most especially if they have seen that most of the posters there are not knowledgeable enough. However, if they are also incapable to make their post meaningful just like others, then it’s better to stay off from that certain board.

There are actually a lot of boards good for discussion, but it greatly depends on how far they will be able to understand those threads in that boards, otherwise they will only come out spamming in the forum.

Basically I'm of the same opinion here but what I usually advise my fellow newbies; is nothing (thread/discussion) is too difficult to understand or converse on but it's mostly depends on your decision whether to dedicate your time into learning.

Most things that are being discussed here in the forum are just mere experiences that has been encountered along the line in the years and time spent here, so one can easily, practice using most of the technological tools and informations shared in the so called discussion hence gather enough experience to share during the time of discussion in this threads.

So I believe if we do more research and practice more we can virtually contribute extensively on any discussions. Even the most popular website learn-me-a-bitcoin has so much details that one can comprehend fast can follow up with discussions, I some time ago just too my time to watch a thread which I was interested in and after much observation i took an opportunity to correct somone and join the discussion immediately hence i became very much acquainted with the informations there. So it's virtually not too difficult as perceived by OP and other newbies like me.

Yes, I agree, the newbies always want to target those boards which are not so tough for them and that's why it's not possible to stop them from posting at such boards. The forum allows them so we also should not worry much about those newbies.

I believe that if they continue posting in non relevant boards then it would be hard for them to learn about Bitcoin. In order to learn Bitcoin properly, they have to visit the boards where information about Bitcoin is discussed, and those boards really help out newbies.

They can post naturally for their interest in any board but if they fortunately choose to start with boards where people discuss highly educational, technical and helpful, they will have more chances to get merit.

If they pick wrong boards like bounties or altcoin boards that are mostly spam, they will have less chance to receive merit. When they realize that, they can check and change themselves. Boards have most active merit circulation are most educational and helpful boards in the forum. Those boards are most helpful for newbies to learn and grow up themselves.

Unfortunately, you will see people engaging in bounty to make money. We want to make money as soon as possible. I guess some people would try making money without even creating a forum account if they can. Unfortunately, guest posting is not possible anymore. Newbies should not focus on earning merits first. They should try to learn things and get used to the forum first.

I am talking from my own experience. There was a time when I was desperately posting for merits but I end up posting shit. Then I started paying attention on posting things comes from my heart and not for money only. Newbies should try to be used to with the forum by spending time and exploring the forum first.
