Do constructive corrections encourage or discourage new members.

[WhoYouCantKill]

How criticism is accepted is solely dependent on the person on the receiving end, and not even necessarily if it’s constructive criticism or not. If you are a person who hates to be corrected or always feel bad whenever you’re corrected, even if the criticism comes in a very constructive and the most polite way, you would still end up being affected negatively by it. Same with if you’re a person who loves every opportunity to learn, grow and improve, even if the criticism comes in most rude way, you’ll still pick out some vital points there and get motivated by them.

Constructive criticism is for those with a good sense of humor. If someone lacks a good sense of humor, they wouldn’t even understand what message is being passed to them. Everything would seem to come from a place of hate or look down. Unfortunately for such persons, no one really cares on the forum, it’s either you get it and move on or you just move on. It’s in nobody’s place to make anyone feel better, you either get used to it or get used to it, it’s that simple.

It all depends on the individual, constructive criticism can either encourage or discourage but if you are on the path to achieving something you must build the mental fortitude to be able to withstand criticism of any form, no matter how harsh you think they might be the most important thing is for you to learn from it

There is no reputable member here on the forum that fell out of the sky, they didn't know everything that got them to that point at first but with curiosity and correction they were able to get to the level where they are.

Constructive corrections or harsh criticisms should not discourage you as a new member of the forum, you cannot expect everyone to have the same attitude or character, some might correct you politely and others in a harsh manner, the most important thing is to learn.

Constructive criticism na one of the things wey fit help you grow as a member of the bitcointalk forum and help you improve too. Most of the corrections or feedback from other senior members fit no Dey presented the wey e go suit you but that one no mean say e go discourage one from participating on the forum because na still part of learning. Human beings Dey different and dem get different means of correcting person, so make nobody feel discouraged about am, except you no wan grow.

[SatoPrincess]

In my opinion, you need both constructive criticism and sometimes harsh critique to be able to grow on the forum.  If someone calls your post nonsense, and you quit the forum because of that reason then you would not have lasted here anyways and I wonder if that is how you take on life.

As a newbie, your goal should be to improve yourself so why would you feel bad because someone pointed out your errors in a public forum. Tbh I don’t get how we are soft, especially since the Nigerian education system is so strict and use criticism as a go-to tool.

[Youngrebel]

A lot of people ask funny questions that seem dumb that's the reason why some senior members might answer some questions in a manner that Seems rude but I don't support that, I think people should be given a chance to learn and when they ask a question it is important to give answers that would encourage and not discourage them.

Constructive criticisms is the best way to correct new members and I don't see any reason why this would discourage anyone, as long as these criticisms don't look condescending then I don't think the new member should have a problem with that

Lastly, some people have problems when it comes to taking correction, so no matter how you try to put your words together to encourage them they would always take it as though you are trying to discourage them and that's a wrong mentality.

Oga this place na Very tough place, so you no go expect everybody to treat you thesame or equally, as all of us from different places come here so our attitude and approach dey, some go talk politely while others to talk insulltively or aggressively, but you go need to develop a thick skin to withstand the pressure. No give room for weakness make people no suppress you, we all been don dey for that shoe and we know how e dey be. Just see am as learning process regardless of how them trow the stone for your body. Pikin we dey strong Dem no dey pamper am. The criticism go make you stronger if you Know wetting you dey do, but e go discourage you if you no ready to accept am.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

I see no reason why a person would stop engaging on the forum, because he or she was constructively criticized or corrected, that says a lot about that person, he is she is not willing to grow at all..
It’s normal to be corrected by senior memeber of the forum, I was corrected a lot as a newbie, and even up till now I don’t mind been corrected, that is the only way you learn and grow faster as a person..

And btw those reputable or senior forum member don dey forum taii, meaning say them don gather experience and understanding of how the forum dey.. So when dem dey correct you, na from those experiences were dem don get..

Criticism on its own get good and bad consequences but constructive criticism, for something to e constructive, it has to be very intentional meaning the person who took his or her time to correct you is doing so because he or she want you to be better so when constructive criticism is being passed onto someone, they should understand the concept first and appreciate the message, more or less.

Now lets not confuse "criticism" just because you are a position above me and only done when you want to exercise your power and if course constructive criticism which is done to help someone grow, usually the person on the receiving end of either doesn't like it but constructive criticism is very much needed especially if the environment relies on structure to function.

[Davidloki]

As you highlighted "constructive correction".
Advise are important, corrections are also important.
No man is basically an island on its own and no man knows it all.
New members also have a lot to contribute and if another member does wrong, they have the right to correct the constructively irrespective of the rank.

[Yablee0]

Constructive corrections or harsh criticisms should not discourage you as a new member of the forum, you cannot expect everyone to have the same attitude or character, some might correct you politely and others in a harsh manner, the most important thing is to learn.

That's true, when you are looking for a better way forward in life, you don't have to see criticism as something serious. Those are what practically makes you stronger and better in future unless you don't know where you are heading to because if truely you do then you must be ready to rob it as if it's your normal daily cream because it's certain and you can't avoid it.

And again,  there is one thing I have noticed on this forum is that criticism help in rebranding you for the better, it is the quickest way of making someone know he/she isn't doing well and for him to do more by adjusting for the better. It is better you know now, if no body ever care of pointing out your wrongs when going off then that should be your main worries but if people always hit you hard when doing wrong they just know that you are been loved by all.

Omo, the truth of the matter be say, everybody no get the same level of mental strength, so their are chances say some fit break down mentally if them criticize them. And one important thing I don know about life is that you need to be mentally strong if you want to succeed in this life because nothing good comes easy.

To answer your question, see eh, we get constructive corrections and destructive correction, so na only when you dy tough mentally you fit withstand both of them, but if you dy soft mentally, you fit withstand constructive corrections, but you no go ever fit withstand destructive correction, because e go break you mentally.

‎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.

‎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.

I can not really remember what this is called in literature,  " constructive criticism". Everyone knows what they are looking for or they know what they want so when that is been given to them whether it is in a manner that isn't friendly or not they will take what they want and leave the rest that is more like filtering the information because if you want to take the insult you will really miss out and you won't grow but a wise person knows what he wants therefore, try to be that wise person.

[BluebloodCXVI]

If you can’t handle constructive criticism whether it’s harsh or not then you probably shouldn’t be here at all.

Forum’s like bitcointalk are not for kid’s or emotionally sensitive people, you need to have a tough skin to be here because there’s is gonna be jabs from different people in the forum from time to time so don’t expect to be pampered like a baby.

I’m not saying that you have to tolerate outright disrespect or abuse but don’t expect every disagreement to be delivered to you with kid’s gloves either.

And if you’re getting discouraged and stop posting because of that then that’s your problem not anybody else’s; nobody is gonna be responsible for your decision to participate or withdraw from the forum.

Lemme talk say there is difference between embarrassing and correcting someone, I believe say if newbie’s make genuine mistakes and person wey want correct am, do it in harsh way, they may become scared to talk another thing again, but for them to learn from their mistakes, they simply become salient and leave the place, which is not work like that. For me as a newbie’s in every organization you find yourself, learning how to accept corrections should be the first priority, there are certain things you do not know about before, and nobody starts knowing all things at once and to make mistakes is also part of learning I think that for person to correct us that we don’t like are the same thing that improves our understanding. What a new member need to understand that corrections is not always an attack.

You don't have to respond to every comment so that you don't get emotional when you come across comments that my discourage you but if it is abuse you can choose to ignore the person and his comments or you return the energy if that will make you happy but if you have to survive in a public place you should be ready to accept what you will see because people will not say things to please you they have their own opinion and they can react differently to what they like or dislike. If you can't survive here because of what people are saying then you don't deserve to be here that's on period.

Taking correction na the best thing we fit do for  ourselves if we actually wan learn how the forum dey work and how person fit improve and become better pass the way wey we fit dey before.

I don hear of so many complaints from newbies wey dey dey ask the forum why there posts dey always dey deleted. This one na another way to learn by asking a question about watin fit make am wey dey dey delete their posts. This forum get rules and who no dey forum the rules go make plenty mistskes wey supposed dey avoidable with time.

Constructive criticism dey help people to understand say nothing easy for here at all. When people criticize you for the way you dey make posts wey no really dey in accordance with waitin forum wants. The criticism go help anybody wey wan learn about how to become good for the way dey dey write for this community.

[Ronsbit]

Make I tell you something OP, anybody wey dey ready to learn no go look at correction as something we go belittle them, instead make dem see am as opportunity to learn from the corrections wey dem dey show dem. That corrections irrespective of how them present am weda in a harsh way or not, as long as e go help them grow to learn and learn better, make dem humble accept their flaws and shakeup to do much better. E get wetin our country people dey always talk " advise no be cause" if you want go far, Accept correction pick the one's wey dey important to you utilise them and move on with your life.

Depends on the person in question, from what you said about you, you said you are the type that doesn't take corrections but you later change and accepted it, and now, it has helped you a lot.

Some people are stubborn that they never take corrections and will never learn even when they are been corrected, some people will get red tag on the forum sooner or later.

But whatever or whoever you may be, everyone will surely learn, some will learn softly and some will learn the hard way. At the end of the day, everybody will learn and improve.

The posting habits of some Nigerians are terrible, sometimes you don't want to read their posts. Criticism should help people get better, but it seems like most newbies have grown thick skin, they don't see reasons to fix their posting pattern.  

Some newbies do it on purpose, the rules are the first thing you see pinned after joining the forum, especially the local board. Those who break the rules are the people who care less about reading what they should have known from the beginning.

It is not okay to receive criticism and fail to make amend, sometimes we learn from mistakes, and we need those who have had the same experience or something similar to guide us through the season changes.
