It depends on what the receiver of the criticism thinks because, you're the one interpreting the message therefore the ball is in your court to consider what they said to you to have a negative or positive impact on the forum.

Sure you can easily differentiate between a bad and good criticism as one of them won't be offensive but the other will talk down on your efforts but you don't have to allow that get to you because you know what the aim of coming to the forum was and stay true to that aim.

When people criticize you, learn from that criticism and better yourself then you'll see that all those hateful things don't really matter. Some of us went through the same experience and today we're better and so can you too. The forum is full of people from different backgrounds therefore you shouldn't expect people to understand your culture and know that some people ain't well thought so you just have to be the bigger person irrespective of your rank.

‎When I enter Bitcoin talk, I dey worry a lot about making mistakes in within I dey do sometimes people wey sabi am dey show my errors and even though I no like to be corrected I later get say those correction dey actually improve my understanding of Bitcoin and even the way I dey write.

Na so e be for everybody wey join this forum to actually learn, you go make mistake at some and people go correct you no big deal because the forum Na public place to get legit discussion about bitcoin and other opportunities.

‎At the same time I also dey see new members no dey post after dey don receive harsh criticism even when wetin dey do seemed genuine.
‎Even within myself I dey think say correction dey important but the way dey are delivered fit influence whether someone chooses to continue dey learn or just give up.

If person stop posting because some people identify your lapses and correct you, then it clearly shows that you no ready to learn and by doing so that you dey limit your growth for the forum.

Every new member should be happy that his mistake are spotted and corrected. If you stop posting because you’re being corrected then you are doing yourself. And that’s how you lose a lot of information you’re supposed to know. Because there is no way you will get to know something if you don’t contribute. You shouldn’t be scared to post. also, the forum isn’t and examination hall or the court of law for any judgment. everyone is prone to mistakes and can be corrected. The first step to success is admitting your mistakes and taking corrections while improving your self.

Criticism should be an encouragement for newbies to improve because, being a newbie, it means that someone is new to something. When someone is new, it simply means he or she has less knowledge about it.So, if such a person does something wrong and other people point it out, it means the mistake needs quick correction. Before someone criticizes a newbie in this forum, the person may have done something very wrong, perhaps after being warned before and not taking the correction. Or it may be something that is harmful to the forum. In such cases, criticism is meant to help newbies improve and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.so, anyone who comes here to learn should understand that criticism is not meant to attack anyone but to encourage to improvement. If this forum leave everyone to do what they like, the forum will not be as good it is now, Any place that has rules and regulations people have to criticize one another if they are wrong.

This kind of related topic has been discussed over time and even somewhere like in the beginners and help session too, my happiness is that you called it constructive correction that means it is well organized, now every road  leading one to achieving his goals and objectives might not really be an easy thing, and if you must scale through remaining focused and determined will help alot growing a thicker skin, the importance of this discussion is not only for growth on Bitcointalk but in life experiences and exploration generally because na you wey give up when you are being corrected na in fokup, corrections are meant to be lessons no matter the approach remember that your plans of achieving something hence you should not to be discouraged or distracted for your own good.

Nobody is above mistakes, even the world smartest person, and that is a human attribute that remains unchanged. So it's not a crime to make mistakes, neither is it a shame to be corrected when mistakes are made.

Anyone who feels insulted or discouraged after one correction is not ready to learn and cannot grow. Bitcoin is an entity that has a broad experience and understanding it cannot happen in a day, there is no limit to how much anyone should know about bitcoin.

Shey you see wetin you call am abi, constructive criticism mean say person dey point out your mistakes den come dey give you clue on how you go take become a better person. This kind of criticisms na in a very polite way so I don't think anyone will be offended because it's not as if you are being attacked or provoked.
     Anyhow e be sha, whether na constructive criticism or aggressive criticism, you no suppose to feel bad at all because we dey in a society whereby different people with their own opinions and way of reacting to a mistake but you just need to see am as a way for you to improve. Anybody wey leave the forum because another person criticise him posts, that person na coward because e get people wey dey this life to annoy other people but you no go pay attention to dem but if na the one wey be constructive criticism as you call it, that one good well well.

[Itz-prisigold]

I believe that correcting someone calmly is more helpful than using harsh words to correct them, because I believe is that everyone that is an expert today in this community, once had no idea about the forum rules, so it's very normal to make some kind of errors at the start. When newbie are making mistakes and nobody is correcting them, then it will be very hard for them to improve.

So I think the way you sound when correcting people is also important. People should learn how to correct someone's mistake without making feel like their efforts is not enough, a simple calm explanation on what they did wrong and how to go about it will eventually go a long way.

Any newbie that get discouraged just because of constructive criticism and eventually leave the forum, then they were never here to learn but just for another motive, because every genuine members that their intentions are really to learn about Bitcoin will always take corrections, make improvements and will never stop contributing.

[Mate2237]

Anyone that wants to grow in life should not be afraid of doing mistakes, and even when the correction comes it should be seen as a way of encouraging and trying to improve the newbie. How can a newbie even think of leaving the forum or give up on his Bitcoin journey if actually such a person has started accumulating Bitcoin. Simply because a older member with more experience points out something that is not right to the newbie in the thread that is created by the newbie. This should not be seen with a different meaning because it's done out of love and for the sake of the growth of the newbie.


The purpose of this forum I believe is to create more awareness and enlightenment about Bitcoin. Which is about knowledge this forum is like a school, so if someone points out a mistake or a statement that is not true it should be seen as a way of correction which is coming from the place of love and the will to help such a newbie grow and contribute quality posts which will be beneficial to the forum. Note any information that should be on this forum should be quality and standards not cut and joint stories that add no value to the forum.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Criticism suppose make you grow in every aspect, but na the delivery of the criticism be the Koko, because harsh tone fit make you dey offended and decide to not learn again while a calm soft tone fit make you become the best the forum don ever see.
Some people dey learn from either ways them receive the criticism if them dey so determined to stay and learn the best.

So my advice to newbies na to not take criticism as a personal attack but as a means to grow.

That's a major point and I agree, people are able to digest any corrections when it is being communicated calmly and this is not just only on the forum but in all aspects of life. No one likes to be disrespected and as a senior you're more respected when you address your younger ones politely. There's even a high chance they they won't heed to the advice at all when you don't correct politely.
Newbies don't need to feel discouraged, people who criticize them are already made so feeling discouraged will do them no good. They know what they want and to achieve it they must ignore and learn from the critics to get to where they want to be. Whoever gives up after being critized doesn't have the spirit of a fighter and are likely not to succeed here so no point being here in the first place.

Criticism is one thing that's common on any online platforms.

People are free to say what so ever that want because they can. If you take it to heart, it's your cup of tea as no one really cares about what you feel online. Growing as a newbies, the best thing is to accept that you know nothing.

If they say you are wrong, you try to see your errors and learn. You could be right as well, but don't make it a drama to sound like you don't need their correction. Another thing is to know where to be. I see many newbies in places they are not supposed to be and it calls attention to them.

[Bitcoin.com97]

I feel criticism is part of growth,if you decide to quit just because they corrected you in a manner that isn't pleasing to you ,than that means you are not ready,even top celebrities do get criticism from people they are better off,I feel it's part of life ,if you get attacked on some of your post ,all you gets do is avoid such people and behave as if you didn't see it ,I have seen a lot of people that critisize people here especially those higher menbers to newbie ,but that shouldn't make anyone to give up on learning ,or achieving what they desires .

You don talk am finish na,, wetin you call am, no be constructive criticism? That means say no be just eye talk or anyhow talk wey no make sense, no be just talk wey dey just to make person vex or talk wey no get any meaning as regards to the matter wey dey ground. As you mention am, constructive criticism na talk wey even though them dey tell you say wetin you do no correct, but truth dey the talk, and dat one means say wetin the person they talk na true and say if you follow am or check am well, na better talk. So, if na constructive criticism, I no see any reason wey person go vex or comot for forum and os stop to post and participate for forum activities because say in dey vex or say them correct am for wetin in dey do, to me , that's childishness and not been serious at all.

Everybody needs criticism, especially constructive ones to grow or learn at some point. Anyone who resists correction is not ready to grow and thinks foolishly for himself. Nobody knows it all, ams so at some point, you will get corrections and directions to do it well.  Everybody must be open to learning. The forum is not left out of it. We face different challenges daily here. Everyone of us started as newbies, and we all faced backlash one time or the other. Growth will always come, and corrections ate part of that growth

[Cityhunter34]

Why would a new beginner even feel discouraged when they are trying to build for the future? It is absolutely not wise for a newbie to feel some type way for any reason, because that's exactly how we all started the journey without giving up in the process. Decision is the best way to become successful in life. No matter what words your senior uses on you, you don't have to dwell on it too much, because doing that will definitely make things difficult for you, especially while you are not yet knowledgeable enough about Bitcoin investment. So it's very essential for new beginners to accept things in good faith and move on.

[Samuel47]

Constructive corrections generally encourage new members if done with kindness and respect. They help people learn the rules and improve their work. They discourage new members if they sound harsh or mean like example when introducing someone to bitcoin you might sound so nice and kind to them not rude words or harsh you make it easy for them the  beginners you can also make life easy for them during teaching then how to make use of Bitcoin be kind to them loyalty and respectful bitcoin is fast so real try it

[Su-asa]

The simple truth be say anybody way won actually learn no suppose feel bad when people correct them for their errors and misconceptions. So long as say person sabi interact with people and for public them no suppose tire for conversation way dey the forum. Obviously some people ko dey like make people dey correct them for their errors even when them know say them they wrong, just because of pride. As person way won learn nothing suppose vex you until you achieve watin make you come join the forum.
Bitcoin na for everybody, so make the correction way somebody give you no every make you change your mind for Bitcoin. Constructive corrections suppose make person put more effort to learn instead of to discourage them. As a matter of fact, everybody start from scratch.

[Son Of Blockchain (SOB)]

 Eh get the way person go correct you, eh go be like say you no even know wetin you dey do, person go just use trolling in the guise of correct throw you one talk wey fit make you lose hope if you be newbie but if you know wetin carry you come and you wan really achieve am you nongo even allow am bother you.
 Eh get wetin i learn when i been dey grow, "to grow thick skin" eh help me pay less attention to trollings or critics from some members wey sabi use person catch cruise, right now my skin done over thick to the point wey i go only listen to the sense dem dey make then overlook the bullshit.

E dey very important first say make the beginner get open mind, because if the beginner no get that open mind say dem wan learn, them no go see any form of correction as constructive, e no matter how them put am, them go still reason am say the correction no sharp, so make the beginner first get that open mind to accept criticism first, then we go com look weda the criticism dey come dat way or e come for way wey no sharp at all.   

Now as e concern d person wey dey do d correction, dem sef need understand say e get as you go put correction and the person wey be say you dey try correct no go dey gree to see am like dat, them go dey reason am say dem dey try shade dem, so for d bigger pipo dem wey dey wey be say dem wan correct person wey be say dem dey reason say em no dey do fine, ne for dem to just see how dem go small small reason d person make dem understand say na correction dem dey try give dem say no be dem dey mock dem or dey shade dem.

There are those who feel that they can grow or do anything they want without the help of others, this is why you can see them easily discouraged or angry when they are being corrected, no one should feel too big to be corrected and just as you can learn from any body not even to talk of when you are found in a place that is entirely new to you, it is very important to be calm and learn. Surely there are ways one can talk to and it can look so embarrassing but deep down that can be part of the learning process depending on how you you comprehend it, a wise man will always choose not be discouraged regardless.

[Taricoins]

If a newbie stops to engage in the forum discussion just because he was criticized, it only mean that such a newbie is not ready for growth and the consequences goes beyond the forum. As a beginner, you should expect that those that have gone above you will criticize you and at some point, it will look like they are being too insensitive to the fact that you are just starting your journey on the forum. in the midst of the criticism you have to decide wether you are going to allow pride set in or you are going to be humble enough to continue learning.

I also believe in this talk but still the way we respond Is important, with the way some people de respond, it is not aimed at teaching or correcting someone, it is a blatant approach to scare the person away, I saw one response from a newbies post which said you are posting rubbish amongst other nasty reply, and that's no way to help some one grow. That's why he have a hard time progressing in widespread bitcoin adoption because of how ferocious we crypto enthusiasts are towards newbies and we can change.


Still, that doesn't give right to newbies to justify themselves, we should all try to meet in the middle. Just my opinion.
