My first journey in this forum

[Son Of Blockchain (SOB)]

 I was lost upon registration, not until I found Beginners and help, so I feel this is the rightful place to get the necessary informations I need to know about this community, i was told this is the biggest and best community where I could broaden my knowledge about Bitcoin.
 Therefore I'll need any help I can get from older members, anyways what are the necessary steps i must follow? I'll pay attention to every replies i get, thanks.

Indeed you are in the right place and I assure you if you can go through all the above links provided you will navigate in this forum like you are being here for many years, so I welcome you once again.

It’s good that you are very eager to learn from the forum, you should keep that motivation in order for you to get acquainted with various information that are readily available, you just do your own diligence to learn. Explore and open the different boards and read each topic, I know you will gain a lot in it. And never break the forum rules, but always get updated with it. Lastly, you are here not only to learn but also to enjoy your stay in the forum, so make the forum a more fun and enjoyable learning outlet, and not get pressured with the different criticisms that you will receive soon from other members.

 Thanks for the replies guys, i expected more but I think im okay with the ones I've got so far mostly with the links, I did as instructed as by _act_ but the rules are very bulky, i think I've got lots of reading to do, so I'll take my time to study and memorise them after now.
 Wow are there critics here! That's not fair and could discourage newly registered like me or give us wrong perspective of this forum, I hope there are no tolerance of voilence or abusive words here? Well the best approach to critics is to capture the sense in their statement and disregard the rest. Also, what are the consequences of going against the rules?

Here's what you might want to read as a beginner here: Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ.

This is a forum not YouTube or Instagram so expect texts to read not pics or videos to watch.

Critics are everywhere. Don't worry about them. Take what's constructive and disregard the rest. This forum is part of the huge online universe. You can't be too emotional with criticisms, insults, and humiliating remarks here.

There are different rules here. Violations of different rules have different punishments. It may range from a simple deletion of a post, locking of a thread, red trust, temporary ban, permanent ban, and so on.

You are new and you will need to learn things that are necessary for newbies.

Basic things include forum rules, guidelines and because it is a Bitcoin forum, you will need to learn about Bitcoin fundamentally too. You will have lot of things to learn and as a newbie, you will feel overwhelming at start.

Unfortunately, that's how it is here. This is a community and so you should follow the rules. And we won't spoon feed any newbies here. We all have gone to his process and so we are committed and by reading a lot we learn the do's and dont's. So I encourage to do as well, go all those boards and read the posts and try to understand.

Again, this is a community so you should respect each and everyone here. Although others might have thick skin and totally ignore some harsh words, there are members that are sensitive so you better be as polite as you can be. Anyway, best of luck in your stay here and hopefully you will learn a lot.

[Porfirii]

Which critics are you talking about? Not in this thread, as far as I've been able to read at least, so I guess that you mean in other threads you visited.

I agree that sometimes very basic or silly questions receive bad answers because, as you were told, learning is a process that requires some work and nobody will spoon feed you; but I think that most members are very patient and willing to help, especially in local boards.

BTW, as you said that you were told about this forum, it would be great if you mentioned who recommended it to you or where you read about the forum, out of mere curiosity.

[un_rank]

Thanks for the replies guys, i expected more but I think im okay with the ones I've got so far mostly with the links,

Why would you expect or need more? The very first reply contains all you need to know about the forum and has tons of information that will take you sometime to get through.

Wow are there critics here! That's not fair and could discourage newly registered like me or give us wrong perspective of this forum...

What are you on about? It seems you already had a pre-written response here cause you expected critics and sent it even though no one criticized you.

You only got three responses and concluded the critics? Friend, if you are so vulnerable that you sense insult in the posts, then I can predetermine your future fate here. Besides, criticism is always an indicator that people here are real and will not pretend or be afraid to speak if they see something insincere. You are not the first and not the last. Just learn the rule; you came to the forum, which means you are interested in it, and not the other way around. Therefore, if you do not hear criticism but only hurt yourself, you will be disappointed. Anything that many wish you and advise will be a good greeting, but in addition, put on thick skin so as not to react too emotionally.

criticism will always be balanced with suggestions. you can get a lot of understanding when you can finally digest criticism well. just believe that many people here finally build confidence to express their ideas with a lot of criticism that has been received.
you have to get used to the forum. here differences of opinion are quite natural. but everything must still be based on rational thinking. if you want to spend more time learning about the forum and also the information available, that's better. do it and try to get what you want to get.

Critics are everywhere and you'll get used to it. Don't worry, as a beginner just need to learn what you have to learn and go play by the rules of the forum and you'll be fine. No one discourages others if there are criticisms being received, we have to live by that as we cannot please everybody. What matters now is that you have started here, go to the topics that you want to learn and learn little by little and just do your thing while learning about the forum, about bitcoin and every crypto stuff that you wanna learn.

then you won't like this forum. the forum is very into free speech, you can basically say almost anything that you want as long as it is not a death threat or any threat meant to cause bodily harm. if you are going to stay around on this forum you might want to start growing a thicker skin so you won't offended if someone is rude to you.

how to earn merit here?

Merit & new rank requirements topic can help you understand it more deeply. Simply put, you can get merit when you help someone on the forum, or provide new useful insights. However, in some cases you can get merits when you take part in challenges in the community, for example @NotATether's topic, he offer 14 merits for users who run Bitcoin Core Node for 14 days and it must be the latest synchronization.

I do not understand what you meant by critics in your reply. Are you referring to the replies that you might have read on other threads. Since, I don't see any replies on your thread that are critical or toxic. Do remember that you are in a public forum where you will see good and bad replies.

Going against the rules can lead to temporary ban or permanent ban. It all depends on on the kind of rule you break here. Plagiarism is something that the forum does not tolerate if you are caught then you will be banned. Therefore always avoid it at any cost, if you want to share some information that is written by someone else then quote the source and share the link.

By the way! Welcome to the forum.

 Guys, no offense please my response was based on Finestream's reply to my post, advising me concerning the criticism I'll receive soon from different members, i was shocked because i just got here and would have to handle critics soon. well it's no big deal thank you all for your advice.
 I guess I should've quoted him but i just replied straight since I didn't know how to do that then but I've figured it out from the reply of other members in this post.

You will not receive a criticism if your question is valid and if you don't know also want to learn more then post it here so that people could also share their advices so you can learn from the information people suggest to you.

Also upon browsing helpful thread for newbies I see this one thread created by tranthidung

Mega resources for newbies https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5500358.msg64230160#msg64230160 Which is truly helpful so it maybe good for you to spend some time reading it.

For sure there would be a lot more suggestion and its up to you now on how you digest those information's you receive from lots of people here.
