Do this to avoid killing your motivation as a newbie

[Ojima-ojo]

As a newbie here on bitcointalk, there is need to apply all cautions to protect your motivations because if you lose your motivation you lose focus and forum will become boring for you at a point so to avoid getting to that worst stage of your forum journey you need to have a few things at the back of your mind.


1: don't think that other forum members don't like you simply because of the approach and responds to your contributions, you need to develop a thick skin and also learn the hard way to become hard yourself.


2: avoid getting into discussions you know nothing about, it better you read others comments instead of writing low quality comments that could attract unfair response to your comments because that also will born out your interest.


3: don't invest in any projects or offers that seems too good and high profits, no free lunch any where not even in free town.


4: respect others and be polite to all forum members high rank and newbie's inclusive.


5: avoid getting involved in forum politics and never take side for any reason, if you must comments on such threads, you have to do so with discretion and stand only for the truth.


Alot more ways that I personally think can help a newbie to remain motivated and free here in the forum.

They, newbies, are welcome and if they are actual newbies, they will not create topics to teach other newbies. Many topics created by newbies to ask repeated questions and it's boring with me to read it. It is inorganic style because they can easily get answers with sticky threads.

By creating suspicious topics, they make other members think that those newbies are not newbies at all.

The advice is simple. If you are newbies, you react exactly like newbies and forum members will more welcome such new members rather than suspicious ones.

3: don't invest in any projects or offers that seems too good and high profits, no free lunch any where not even in free town.

This advice is also good but I see it more not to pertain to this forum in my opinion. But I want to ask a question which could be the reason you included it if your answer is yes. Do you think newbie success in investment can also help them to stay active on this forum is they are having profit in it? As for what I think, I guess it is no. But the advice is also good.

One of the most important things is the will of the heart. Maybe this can be called Motivation as well, those who try hard will still survive, of course they also have a goal. Maybe your writing is your personal experience. But every new member certainly has another experience, just like me. I knew Bitcointalk because I was a trader, but my friend told me I could learn a lot about trading here and I did that. In fact, he said that he got a bonus of gaining trust in the Signature Campaign after participating well in the forum. Of course, conditions like this can provide more motivation, luck will come to you if you are serious. If you are serious about the forum then you can see great seniors here, they have many advantages from this forum.

2: avoid getting into discussions you know nothing about, it better you read others comments instead of writing low quality comments that could attract unfair response to your comments because that also will bring out your interest.

This should be advice for not just newbies but for everybody on the forum. It doesn't make sense to comment on what you have no idea about. This is one reason that leads people to use AI-generated content and post. It's not compulsory everybody must take part in a particular discussion, if you don't have anything to say in that discussion, just read and move on.

Do you think newbies success in investment can also help them to stay active on this forum is they are having profit in it? As for what I think, I guess it is no. But the advice is also good.

I believe if newbies make profit from projects on the forum, then they'll stay, but I don't believe newbies can make a profit out of investing in different projects because they don't have the knowledge and experience yet to pick out the right project to invest in so what they do is gamble. And in an industry where there are more bad projects than good projects, you know what their odds are.

[Ishicryptic]

All the points that are in the OP are duely noted and I agree that newbies that wants to learn from experienced members should humble themselves in the forum to be able to fully take advantage of tapping from the knowledge and experiences of established members. I've been able to learn a lot about cryptocurrency since joining this forum, both perticipating in discussions and just browsing through them, it's not necessary for a newbie to join in a discussion that they know nothing about, this is where they get a lot of backlash and it can kill their motivation to learn and continue in the forum. What I can add is that newbies should not expect to be babyfed in the forum by experienced members, they should also research in and outside the forum to increase their knowledge, then ask meaningful questions in the areas where they don't understand.

1: don't think that other forum members don't like you simply because of the approach and responds to your contributions, you need to develop a thick skin and also learn the hard way to become hard yourself.

Forum members will not hate them if they state pure facts and never lie on information they want to discuss. If they are honest for sure they will be corrected and guided to right actions needed to do.

2: avoid getting into discussions you know nothing about, it better you read others comments instead of writing low quality comments that could attract unfair response to your comments because that also will born out your interest.

They need to avoid this and much better if they are interested with the topic then read how people approach and post something related to the topic discuss then do research since for that they can help their self to learn and by next time for sure they can contribute good points on the topic.

3: don't invest in any projects or offers that seems too good and high profits, no free lunch any where not even in free town.

They just need to remember that If its good to be true its not true then for sure they can avoid those possible scams.

4: respect others and be polite to all forum members high rank and newbie's inclusive.

Respect earned and if they want to be respected by other people they need to show that they are worthy for that, also they have good sense especially if they are participating on good discussions.

5: avoid getting involved in forum politics and never take side for any reason, if you must comments on such threads, you have to do so with discretion and stand only for the truth.

If they don't want to have enemy stay low key and focus on your investment since this is more better than participating on any heated arguments to anyone.

I quit agree with you on the fact that some newbies are not actually newbies, and those can be easily sported from the way they write and their wealth of expression of experience most especially how they know so well about the forum, because a core newbies have alot of limitations and bankruptcy of experience about forum related topics.


While I was growing here in the forum I encountered alot of corrections that have helped shape my overall knowledge about the cryptocurrency industry and the forum, but I most say that 90% of my experience comes from corrections of other forum members, whom I am appreciative for, and reason why I encourage genuine newbies to always take corrections if ever they want to grow in their knowledge.

1: don't think that other forum members don't like you simply because of the approach and responds to your contributions, you need to develop a thick skin and also learn the hard way to become hard yourself.

I think more newbies end up getting eliminated from forums for this reason. they are not yet used to the atmosphere of a discussion forum. and they don't have a definite goal of what they want to search for in the forum. Maybe that's what makes them so offended because of criticism or input from several other members.

Another mistake a beginner makes is treating forums like social media in general. they don't know the forum rules properly and share plagiarized posts or even posts using AI to appear knowledgeable. That's what sometimes makes other members' responses end up criticizing harshly.

This is a good advice not only for this forum or for a discussion forum in general, but for many other organizations too. When you start in a new job, you expect that people will be patient with you because (it seems obvious) you need some time to learn. But that's not how it works and, because people see life through different lenses, you will find individuals who are too harsh with you, which can kill motivation if you are a sensitive person.

If you don't learn to overcome these situations, you won't succeed in any activities unless you are lucky enough to fall in a positive environment, which is not always possible. So yes, as a newbie here, don't let others kill your motivation, develop a thick skin and focus more on the positive interactions rather than on the negative, even if they are more salient to you.

One of the things newbies needs to enjoy the forum is patience, when their is an understanding of patience it helps one to focus well and not to be in hurry to get things so quick. Accepting corrections without seeing it as an attack will also help newbies to enjoy the forum and to grow fast. Using the search first before asking questions Will help newbies to learn fast instead of repeating same questions that have been asked in the forum several times. The habits of learning and to understanding things properly will give newbies more motivation and interest to remain in the forum.

All a newbies needs is just understanding,  when their is a better understanding of how the forum works it brings motivation all time to enjoy the forum very well.

[Plaguedeath]

As a newbie it's better to not read so called guide or tips regardless it's written by newbie or high ranked users.

They only need to avoid plagiarism, that's all.

They can post in any section or discussion they want, they don't have to be polite at all, saying bad words will not make you get banned or deleted by moderators, it's up to anyone. And there's no rule user need to post.

2: avoid getting into discussions you know nothing about, it better you read others comments instead of writing low quality comments that could attract unfair response to your comments because that also will born out your interest.

This is applicable to anyone in the forum, regardless of the user rank. Joining a discussion you don’t know anything about is just like spamming a thread, and people will see you as a spammer and will not get value on the forum. It will also be like an off-topic discussion where you will discuss something that is not related to other people's discussions, so this advice should not be only for newbies or other people. 

3: don't invest in any projects or offers that seems too good and high profits, no free lunch any where not even in free town.

All this remaining one is not only for newbies, in my opinion. The fifth one, also mostly newbies, is not engaging in such a type of discussion on the forum because what they are talking about they don’t know anything about it, so I think this should be for the high-ranking members or anyone engaging in such a type of discussion on the forum.

is there anything like forum politics here? Wow.
I thought everyone that's here just engages in discussion to the best of his knowledge and doesn't really take anything too personal or tries to know stuff about a third party? If such thing exist, how do we know that we're taking side most expecially if we're just supporting a view that's in line with what we think about the subject matter?

How will they react like newbies while they are not haha. I mean I agree with you that they create threads that are like, tips to keep in mind before trading, or how to trade, etc., etc. I mostly thread on these topics made by most of the newbies or they make threads like they are newbies and tell them how to how to behave or post on this platform. There was a time when I was replying to such threads but a time came I was fed up hehe and tried not to post on such threads a lot.

As it also affects the quality of your post as well if you keep posting on such threads although it's not that bad to post. Overall, OP has some good points in it and we all should keep them in mind especially the newbies because they are the ones mostly disappointed when they hope a lot from the forum. I suggest them to spend half of there time in there local threads as there they will come to learn more as I learned a lot from my local community.

[Dunamisx]

People should not see this forum as a place where some are being restricted of some certain right of expression on how they can contribute, its nothing bad if we are having enough information about something and we take it up in bringing it here to enlighten other members regardless of our rank, but many are not found in this category, instead they engage on something that will make them portrait another image of themself to others through what they post instead of them learning to acquire more.

[SamReomo]

3: don't invest in any projects or offers that seems too good and high profits, no free lunch any where not even in free town.

That's a quite useful advice for newbies because most of them fall for such traps and instead of making high profits they end up losing their investment. There's no way to earn high profits from new projects unless someone is extremely lucky, that's why I also recommend newbies to avoid getting into such projects at any cost.

4: respect others and be polite to all forum members high rank and newbie's inclusive.

That's a type of advice that applies to not only this forum but to any community because if someone doesn't respect others and talk politely with them then such people  face too much hatred. However, one should only respect those who deserve that respect because sometime there are people who aren't worthy of that respect and the ones who give them respect often get nothing at all.

However, as a gentlemen and woman a person should try his/her best to be nice with others, and even to those who may not be nice to him/her. That's a quality of a good human being and a good forum member and I believe each person should try to adopt it.

[Gladitorcomeback]

You should have added this point as well:

- Don't create threads and try to teach other newbies basic things that most probably are already posted more than once and most newbies already know them and even if they don't, you are not supposed to start topics that have already been discussed hundreds of times.

I often see newbies trying to teach other newbies, and they do this about the most basic things. There is nothing wrong with that generally, but only if they are teaching something which is new and hasn't been discussed several times already. This makes those newbies look bad and they will also be criticized because of this.

1: don't think that other forum members don't like you simply because of the approach and responds to your contributions, you need to develop a thick skin and also learn the hard way to become hard yourself.

On this aspect, I think newbies should know that in dealing with matters that concern more people in a public setting like this forum, people have different approach they understand and respond to certain things. It is your own duty now not to fall for any of that which will make you lost interest or focus in what you want to achieve by coming to the forum. You have to learn to tolerate all replies and treat them in such a manner that will not displease both parties in question. When you get angry easily and always trigger back with anger, you will end up hating the forum and won’t be able to grow again like others.

2: avoid getting into discussions you know nothing about, it better you read others comments instead of writing low quality comments that could attract unfair response to your comments because that also will born out your interest.

This to me is a general rule and not secluded to just the newbies. When you poke your mouth into things you know nothing about or to side someone because of familiarity or some kind of interest, you’re already losing your credibility and integrity in the forum. Treat all equal and if need be to voice out, do it the right manner otherwise keep it to yourself and not cause more trouble into the discussion.

We never had issues with any newbies and I have even called out on the tenured users of this forum to be more polite towards newbie but the only humble request I have with newbie in addition to the list of pointers is please do not indulge into shill marketing or marketing scam projects.
