Should beginners give up when facing challenges in the initial stage of the forum

[Sonia_123]

No why are you given up is that how you give up over challenges in anywhere you find yourself?

Challenges is part of life and you need to overcome them in other to be successful. If you have challenges in the forum all you need to do is ask questions in the forum for solutions with patience, so that you will know what to do.

As a beginner you continue with time what seems to be difficult will become easy, if you don't learn from the forum, where do you learn from because this is the only right place that will give you all your needed information about Bitcoin.
Follow the rules and regulations properly.

[Kelward]

Everybody on this forum were once beginers which means that if they had given up they won't still be here today so it depends on your motivational factor for joining the forum, if it is very strong them you will stay and hopefully gain what you want. Either it's to learn and gain knowledge about Bitcoin, to make money from signature campaigns or simply to belong to an active Bitcoin community whatever it is so far the zeal is strong enough you will stay. I don't see any overwhelming chalanges in this forum, when I joined I knew nothing about Bitcoin or the crypto space and I don't think that I ever asked these kinds of questions that I consider irrelevant that some newbies asks. Pinned threads are enough guides in everybody boards and gradually you will begin to get used to the system here, if it suits you you will stay if not you move on, I don't anybody here cares whether you stay or leave.

[Obim34]

Yes just like I'm facing right now, when many people join Bitcointalk for the first time, they usually face lot of challenges. They face challenges such as

• Challenge Trying to understand the forum rules.
• Challenge of how to avoid plagiarism
• Challenge of how to make a quality post
• And Challenge of learning how the ranking System work.

You can never be in a group/platform or forum that doesn't have rules and regulations to follow. On your first arrival, you might make some silly mistakes, which you will be corrected, and given the rules and regulations to follow. It is not as difficult like you assume here, the challenges is if you don't pay attention, to both acknowledging the rules and how other members behave.

Learning how the ranking system works is not a challenge, there is a thread that have a compiled information there, if you read then you won't be faced with any challenge, pay attention to details going on in the forum.[/list]

It all depends on the mindset of the newbie, if he is here for a serious purpose, I don’t think he would even think of giving up because giving up is failing and if he is determined to remain in the forum, he must fight to stay here.

Those who give up in this forum shouldn’t have even started at all, and remaining relevant here comes with lots of dedication and sacrifices that you need to put in other to get to the heights that you wished to get.
The major thing to do when a newbie is faced with challenges is to keep trying, keep pushing because every senior member in this forum faced similar challenges, but they kept their hope alive, and are still moving.

I wouldn't completely agree with you.
People join this forum because they have certain expectations. If those expectations are not met, why would they stay on the forum? There are many different ways to get information on crypto these days, from Telegram groups, social networks to AI.
If someone finds this forum to be a place where they no longer feel welcome, then it is quite natural and normal for them to move on.

If a beginner cannot motivate himself about acquiring knowledge, then of course it is not possible to achieve anything from this platform. It is the responsibility of a beginner to learn but if he does not do that then he will definitely not be able to implement his goal. In the case of beginners, it is necessary to study a lot to know about the forum. If that is not done, then they will definitely fail to implement the goal. However, as a beginner, I think some mistakes can be made but major mistakes must be avoided and for that, it is necessary to read the forum rules properly otherwise the chances of making mistakes will increase.

[Issa56]

No why are you given up is that how you give up over challenges in anywhere you find yourself?

If you join the forum just because you want to accumulate more knowledge, then no matter what is said about you, I don’t think you going to give up because you really know what you want to achieve, and you know if you give up then you won’t be able to achieve that. If you find things difficult in the initial stage, then giving up shouldn’t even be an option, you should just look for ways to familiarize yourself with the forum and how you going to learn thing’s easily.

If you are new to the forum, just spend time to go thorough the forum, if you properly understand the basics of the forum, then you not going to find anything difficult about the forum, don’t be so desperate to post, because I know there are lots of threads already that will be useful to the user.

That’s the plenty truth having knowledge before everything is very important in order the person to get what they want in the forum, but the problem of the some newbie join this forum is that they don’t seek for much knowledge  for them to know how the forums operates; all their aim is how they can begin earning money and life doesn’t work in that way.

If you are new to the forum, just spend time to go thorough the forum, if you properly understand the basics of the forum, then you not going to find anything difficult about the forum, don’t be so desperate to post, because I know there are lots of threads already that will be useful to the user.

Normal this forums is not a place where person will come and be expected to earned money without a proper understanding the basics knowledge of the forum, and that’s why we can see most of the newbie's that introduce themselves into this forum find it difficult as they don’t want spend the much time in the forum or visits the difference boards that can helps them grow their knowledge.

Agree. Newbies with strong intention or purpose, they won't easily decide to give up. Challenges shouldn't be the barrier, they are just some tests to ensure the newbies to understand the forum well. By passing the tests, newbies also get some lessons to ensure they will survive in the forum for a long time.

Those who give up in this forum shouldn’t have even started at all, and remaining relevant here comes with lots of dedication and sacrifices that you need to put in other to get to the heights that you wished to get.

Joining forum as regular members even don't need to do any sacrifice. We only need to obey the forum rules and try to be active discussing with others.

The major thing to do when a newbie is faced with challenges is to keep trying, keep pushing because every senior member in this forum faced similar challenges, but they kept their hope alive, and are still moving.

Learning from others! It is what the newbies can do if they face difficult challenges. We have many useful threads that tell the solutions of varied cases in this forum, including the cases that most newbies are often experiencing. If newbies can't find out related threads, they can ask to the forum members.

The fear of making mistakes shouldn't scared newbies away because it is better to make those mistakes and learn from them, the focus should be on the objective and purpose of joining the forum, make the mistake and take corrections and move on to the next chapter of your learning process, I will advise newbies to give the forum quality time this is because why most of them give up is lack of quality time dedicated for them to learn in the forum and at every time they should be able to learn new thing and they should also have it in their mind that they can not learn everything within a short period of time, how long you are spending in the forum is very important.

Now my question is
What do you think? Should beginners continue learning despite the difficulties,  or is it too challenging for most new comers?[/list]

‎ I have felt discouraged before in this forum, and when I read others posts, I begin to wonder how smart they are to understand everything to the extent of getting merit with what they have written.

But one thing I understand from the few questions I asked is all of these legendaries were once newbies, and no one flies from newbie to it, it was a gradual process.

All we newbies need is courage to keep pushing, keep reading, read pinned posts, people response to thread, you can do less posting but more reading most especially those warning posts to avoid mistakes when engaging in posts. You talked about been a student but my case, i have a demanding job but i still manage to read everyday here. It will take just time but differently it will get better.

Don't be discourage.

Every challenge or difficulty that any beginner is facing is not common to them alone. I would say that at least 80% of all forum members who are above the newbie rank passed through the same lot and even created topics to talk about their struggles. I would say it only gets better with time. Beginners must grow thick skin and march head on, however, if they feel they cannot cope because it is impacting on them negatively, they can either take a break or quit completely if that helps.

Exactly,your early stage would always be rough.I could remember when I got registered on this forum.I had no option but to develop a thick skin,most high rank members would give their correction in an abusive way,but anyways they all played a significant role in my growth on this forum.Most times in reality,I think if you don’t face no challenge in life you won’t be motivated to take some steps.So I think those abusive corrections by high rank members may motivate a newbie to improve their writing or chase them away.

Yes just like I'm facing right now, when many people join Bitcointalk for the first time, they usually face lot of challenges. They face challenges such as

• Challenge Trying to understand the forum rules.
• Challenge of how to avoid plagiarism
• Challenge of how to make a quality post
• And Challenge of learning how the ranking System work.

Due to the above mentioned challenges or difficulties the beginners are facing in the start, Some beginners start to feel discourage and started Thinking of giving up.

Well, these might be a challenge that is entirely unique to you because, I don’t see how “Don’t plagiarize” can be any complicated. It’s a straight forward rule like many others.

What might seem to be challenging for beginners is how to come up with posts that might be considered merit worthy as this isn’t measured by any standard but based mostly on individual perceptions.

As opposed to the ranking system which is a direct tally of activity to merits, what is challenging for most persons is the DT system, how it’s attained and how it actually works else, the aforementioned are no challenges at all except, they are unique to few.

They even don't have to read forum rules and guides in the forum to understand that using contents of the others as their own ones is morally a wrong thing to do and they will not do that if they act properly.

If they spend a little bit time for reading forum rules, welcome message, guides, they will know about plagiarisms, AI use without source links and consequences with account bans.

Tbh, I think the forum is much  lenient now and very easy to navigate around because we have  guides and forum etiquette everywhere for anyone to pick a thing or two to survive, not like it's  a warzone or something ..because if we go back in the day when users could be tagged for spam and these tags were such a big deal to get the best experience around the forum..all in all if we say there is a challenge then let them not rush to most, let's read more to catch up with the forum culture.

Otherwise giving up isn't the solution, let them adapt like everyone one of us did and we all passed through that phase 

[Somegory]

I hope this gets to you OP, you sound like someone who isn't serious about been on here, are you forced for a reason to come on here because it's looking like it, you can complain about the harsh treatment you get on here, I was a victim to that too.

But why are you here? To look for answers related to crypto? You don't have to say anything if this is it, most questions for newbies are already available via the forum search 🔍 engine.

Some newbies open account on here to find solution to their problems and once they get a hold of that they go back to their lives until they find something else that they can't force, it's not a must to be active on this forum to be honest, this is why I am asking about what brings you on here.

Yes, this is a good question actually.

First of all, we are no longer in 2009 or 2010 when this forum was the only place where you could find information about btc.
Now all the information can be found on Google, social networks and increasingly on AI etc.
Considering that, if someone does not feel welcome on this forum there are many other ways to search for information about crypto.
After all, you do not even need to register on this forum to find the information you are looking for, and in fact registration on the forum only makes sense for new members who are interested in participating in discussions, projects or signature campaigns.

• Challenge Trying to understand the forum rules.
• Challenge of how to avoid plagiarism
• Challenge of how to make a quality post
• And Challenge of learning how the ranking System work.

If you consider all of this as a challenge, never avoid it because it will make you stuck in your comfort zone and it will be very difficult to develop. Face all these challenges because they will be part of your growth and success while on the Bitcointalk forum. A strong determination will shape the mentality and courage to face every challenge, it will be the key for you to achieve your goals, another important part is to continue learning from every challenge because it is part of one of the plans to overcome fear that can hinder your development process.

On the Bitcointalk forum challenges can come from various sides such as understanding the technology, dealing with criticism or adapting to the community. Here every beginner must be ready to face challenges and not give up too quickly if they want to achieve their goals. Always learn from every mistake and never be ashamed to ask about anything you don't understand, this method can help you develop slowly.

Here is what I think: If a person settle with the ideology that the forum is too challenging and/or difficult to learn, then there is no point of  begging/or forcing the person to reconsider their decision, infact I think it best that you just leave them be... In this life everyone is entitled to follow through with whatever decision that is best for them... However, the truth would always be that nothing good comes easily, and this also applies in the case of trying to get knowledge...

Knowledge is sought for, and in the process of seeking that knowledge, you may very well be faced with certain challenges/or difficulties, but if you as an individual is are really intentional about obtaining that knowledge and be knowledgeable like the way some high ranking member of the forum is, then all those difficulties aren't meant to discourage you... Infact you will want to use those challenges as an opportunity to research and learn more so as to overcome...
