Newbie seeking guidance

[Ummeettaa]

Hello Fams, I am a new member of this great forum and am very  happy to be here, am very pleased to meet you all. I learnt about this Forum in my search to know more about Bitcoin.

Since my arrival and coming to this Forum, I have been observing and going through some posts and replies from many sections of the Forum and I can say for sure that this Forum is a very interesting and educative group, I have learned alot and I have cleared some of my doubts and confusions to so many things about Crypto Currency. My knowledge about has increased a little bit.

Through out my time here I have been trying to understand what needs to be understood so as to not break any rules or make an mistakes. I have a few questions I'd like to understand which are;

1. What kind of posts or replies are being deleted?

2. Does punctuations marks matters while making replies or posts in the Forum even when you are the right track? And what is Shit                             
     Posting? Because I noticed people are being questioned for Shit Posting and lack of Punctuations.

3. What harm can deleted post, comments and replies do to a member of the Forum?

4. As a new member of the Forum, there is a possibility that a newbie will unknowingly post or talk about a topic that is likely to have been   
    Posted or talked about before but due to being new to the Forum he/she was not aware of such. Will suck scenario or acts counts as
    Plagiarism or what will be the offence of the person?

5. I noticed in some sections while I was reading and searching around the Forum, there are some scenarios where a newbie will try to
    Make a post which needs to be attached or accompanied with an image, but such posts were accompanied by likes instead or the
    image. What will such person do to make his/her image appears in the post or will the post be deleted?.

    Please I need help with answers and clarifications from the senior members of the Forum on what to do when I encounter the above
    Mentioned problems.. Thanks

It seems like you're the one who hasn't read the OP. He said he did read.

Don't be so picky about those questions, OP. Just use the forum to learn and contribute what you can; little by little, you'll learn more and be able to contribute better. As for the rules, if you don't know all of them you can break some of them without facing serious consequences (like posting consecutive posts in a row). Others are more serious and can indeed result in a ban.

2. Yes, paying attention to punctuation for posts is very important. Shitposting is usually characterized by generic writing, no substance, and going off topic.

3. The number of posts is reduced, users just wasted time; if it is a serious violation, the user will be banned.

4. Plagiarism is quoting other people's writing either from this forum or outside the forum, without inserting credits, links to sources, citations, etc. in the same post. Here you can find hundreds of reported plagiarism posts. bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg66835829#new
There are many cases of multiple topics published by different people and different presentations in close time, usually the mod will lock one of them if it is reported.

5. do you mean "like link"? because the forum system limits newbies display images in their posts, but it is not a violation. If they ranked up a level, all previous image posts will display correctly.

1. Post that goes against rules, not fitting or deleted by the OP in self moderated post.
2. Punctuation mark as it serves helps readers to read your post properly. Shit post is just a very bad post I believe you should understand what a bad or poorly written post should be.
3. Reduce your post count, help you understand that you just made a post not fitting so you can learn for future purposes.
4. All new and old members should do there research first.
6. Yes go read put pinned messages on meta, I noticed you haven't done that.

[Freeveto]

Welcome to the bitcointalk forum, I am glad you have how through the forum and have seen how posts are been made here, and I am happy you learn a lot from the from since your arrival.

Replies that are being deleted are mostly responses that are off the discussion. Some users will want to reply some topics they don’t have idea about, such replies mislead some newbies, that is the reason why moderators delete some of them replies. Deleted posts cause no harm to the forum users.

On the proper use of punctuation marks, it really matters for a constructive posts, but since English is not everyone’s official language, the forum can’t force everyone to use good English, the main aim is to pass the right information to the public. To solve these problems, the forum created local boards so that users that can’t understand and speak English will communicate using their language in their local board.

1. What kind of posts or replies are being deleted?

Low quality posts (one liners, spam, off topic, AI generated) will most likely be deleted by mods.

2. Does punctuations marks matters while making replies or posts in the Forum even when you are the right track?

Punctuation is very important when making a post. Just imagine how hard it would be for people to read your post without punctuation and in one full line.

4. As a new member of the Forum, there is a possibility that a newbie will unknowingly post or talk about a topic that is likely to have been   
    Posted or talked about before but due to being new to the Forum he/she was not aware of such. Will suck scenario or acts counts as
    Plagiarism or what will be the offence of the person?

That's why it's important to use the "search" feature or use Bitlist.co before you start a topic.

5. I noticed in some sections while I was reading and searching around the Forum, there are some scenarios where a newbie will try to
    Make a post which needs to be attached or accompanied with an image, but such posts were accompanied by likes instead or the

You need to reach jr member to be enabled to post images. Alternatively, you can purchase a Copper Membership to post images. You also need to understand about rank/position in this forum https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=178608.0

This is plain wrong by the wording. Anybody can post images, e.g. uploading the image to talkimg.com and posting the BBcode image [img]...[/img] tags, even Newbies and Brand new users. It's not technically prevented to post images, regardless of user's rank. It's that their embedded BBcode [img]...[/img] will only be visible as links for Newbie ranked users. All other ranks show the actual image. And once such Newbies rank up to next Jr. Member rank, all already posted [img]...[/img] images become fully visible images in their posts.

I highly recommend to be mindful of used wording to avoid spreading nonsense false facts.

Through out my time here I have been trying to understand what needs to be understood so as to not break any rules or make an mistakes. I have a few questions I'd like to understand which are;

1. What kind of posts or replies are being deleted?

Especially posts with the contents of fraudulent, ones with abusive contents duplicated posts are deleted and so also spam and off topic posts etc.

2. Does punctuations marks matters while making replies or posts in the Forum even when you are the right track? And what is Shit                            
     Posting? Because I noticed people are being questioned for Shit Posting and lack of Punctuations.

Lack of punctuation marks at where necessary in a sentence can be uninteresting to read and lacks comprehensive controls.
Shit posting are low quality posts which had no informative values.

[Kavelj22]

3. What harm can deleted post, comments and replies do to a member of the Forum?

I can mention three possible cases but it is always at descretion of the moderators and admins:

- Keep posting posting content including malicious links. Spreading malwares in untolerable. For the first and second time only your posts will be deleted then you will get nuked.

- Keep posting low quality posts that can be noticed by moderators or other forum users who will report it as spam. For the first and second time only your posts will be deleted then you will banned.

- Spreading hate speech that can be comsidered as a physical threat or spreading false information in technical discussions that can threat privacy.

[KingsDen]

1. What kind of posts or replies are being deleted?

Off topic posts and replies

2. Does punctuations marks matters while making replies or posts in the Forum even when you are the right track? And what is Shit                             
     Posting? Because I noticed people are being questioned for Shit Posting and lack of Punctuations.

Punctuations are important for people to understand you as we do not used voice recording here.
A Shit post can be a low effort post.

3. What harm can deleted post, comments and replies do to a member of the Forum?

No harm, but will you like your posts to be deleted always?

4. As a new member of the Forum, there is a possibility that a newbie will unknowingly post or talk about a topic that is likely to have been   
    Posted or talked about before but due to being new to the Forum he/she was not aware of such. Will suck scenario or acts counts as
    Plagiarism or what will be the offence of the person?

Use the search button more.

5. I noticed in some sections while I was reading and searching around the Forum, there are some scenarios where a newbie will try to
    Make a post which needs to be attached or accompanied with an image, but such posts were accompanied by likes instead or the
    image. What will such person do to make his/her image appears in the post or will the post be deleted?.

I don't get you, just try doing it first instead of assumptions

Just as mentioned above, use the forum without much fear of laws.

[Dex_master25]

In  my being here so far, i think that this forum is much like in comparison to Reddit or Quora, where you get to properly express yourself as possible because so many persons read your comments and it should be well meaning with punctuations and commas where necessary.
Only post or replies that are off point or unrelatable gets deleted because there are moderators that make sure content is not junk.
Just try do as others are doing, mostly the oldies and try to be as genuine as possible, that is how you will mostly avoid a similar created post in many instances.
 

[TypoTonic]

1. What kind of posts or replies are being deleted?

Just to add, if you replied in a thread and it gets moved to the trashcan, your posts there will also get deleted, even if it was on-topic. Here's an example.

3. What harm can deleted post, comments and replies do to a member of the Forum?

It's also technically possible to rank down, if an adequate amount of your posts get deleted (either by yourself or by mods).

Can activity or my rank decrease?

Yes. It can only decrease if you have all the posts you made from a particular period deleted or the threads you posted in trashcanned. If you do it's possible to drop rank until you have enough activity again.

Through out my time here I have been trying to understand what needs to be understood so as to not break any rules or make an mistakes.

Just make sure to read the pinned posts and you'll be fine.

[UchihaSarada]

It seems like you're the one who hasn't read the OP. He said he did read.

You are partially right.
Honestly I did not read it all but I scan his post and find some points which I believe he did not read before posting.

For example with his questions.

I have a few questions I'd like to understand which are;

1. What kind of posts or replies are being deleted?

3. What harm can deleted post, comments and replies do to a member of the Forum?

4. Will suck scenario or acts counts as
    Plagiarism or what will be the offence of the person?

All these questions like 1, 3, and 4 have answers in pinned threads that I shared to him, and he even did not need my share, just spend time to read pinned threads in this board.

     Posting? Because I noticed people are being questioned for Shit Posting and lack of Punctuations.

Punctuation helps the reader understand your writing, but it's not what determines a shitpost. Native english speakers can still make out what you may be trying to say with little or poor use of punctuation. If you struggle with English (maybe cause it's not your first language), you can use your writings here as means of improving that while also visiting your local board more.
A post can be zero value even if it's made with perfect grammar and punctuation

The point you're trying to get across is the most important part of communication here.

[lovesmayfamilis]

It doesn't look like you've read the forum. Rather, it can be concluded that you are very inattentive; otherwise, you would not ask questions that are obvious when reading. Literacy? Punctuation? Have you really read the forum?

If you need clarification on the already chewed-up answers in the beginners' section, then the best advice would be to read again, and maybe a few more times. Don't think that people are blind or stupid; everyone has long seen clearly those who come for the first time and for the tenth.
