Topic: A wake up call to all lower rank members in our prestigious local board (Read 351 times)

I suggest that topics that ain't bitcoin related topics shouldn't be discussed anymore and we should attend to existing topics that have been created that are informative and has low or no reply by members of these local board as their some creative posts with zero reply or no much reply so instead of creating numerous topics that are saying or almost saying the same thing we need to browse through the pages to find out if there are post that are related to the ones you wish to create, by so doing the rate of spamming will reduce to the minimal.
If we all want to be centered in the existing topics only, most newbies won’t have a say in most of the conversations that are bitcoin related. What they can do is just to watch what other members who understands bitcoin more are discussing there. This will lead to less discussion in the local board which is what we don’t want in the local board now. Newbies should beware of irrelevant topics that has no meaning or add value to this community they are sharing it to, this is basically the spam most of the senior members are talking about. Learning takes time and we know they’re all learning gradually but that shouldn’t make them spam the board with unnecessary posts.
The sole reason for the creation of this bitcointalk forum is for bitcoin related information and messages therefore let's not take because we don't want the local board to look boring and start talking shits or making posts that are irrelevant to our discussion on this forum.
As a newbie what they have to do is to watch and learn more about the forum rather than rushing to comment or post threads that has no meaning. It will be very bad for senior members who are outside this local board to come and see shitposts and posts that ain't bitcoin related discussion just as one of the legends @jajuanGee visited the forum recently, so if such caliber of persons come to the local board and see all these things it's a bad reputation on the local board as we don't want anything that will void the efforts of our senior men that made this local board come to reality.

The board is currently growing so it is normal to experience higher spam rates than the usual so and it’s the senior ranks members to look after the board. Newbies should not be discouraged by this statements because if they are used to spamming the local board they will find it difficult to create quality posts and grow so they should take everything as a motivation and reduce their spam rate
This na true say we dey grow and more spam post ho pile for the local board, no body dey exclude the fact but the issue be say make we acknowledge the road wey e dey lead to and correct am ASAP and I thank God that some users here have been selfless to actually find a way to reslolev this issue because this our local board is also a center of watchful eyes being a new and active one on the charts and I remember say many top users like halab, JayJuanGee, lovemayfamilies, hugeblack and so many other dey come put mouth for some of the Tori wey dem fit relate on for the board

I am actually writing this post prior to the recent happening on the local board and I know this would have been hard on some newbie who are actually trying to just get involved and atleast earn some merits to grow, but like other senior member have said, spamming the local board isn't actually the right way to go about it.
The mentioned senior rank members are actually looking out for the board, they mean well for the board and we all know spamming is against the rules of the forum and since the board is part of the forum so it’s only right to discourage spamming here. Regardless of how low rank members feel they should learn to adapt to the ways of the forum since the forum have been in existence even before they created an account they have to abide by it’s ways. The board is currently growing so it is normal to experience higher spam rates than the usual so and it’s the senior ranks members to look after the board. Newbies should not be discouraged by this statements because if they are used to spamming the local board they will find it difficult to create quality posts and grow so they should take everything as a motivation and reduce their spam rate.
anyone who shy away from advice never seem to grow in knowledge and other aspects of life
In life people try to discourage you from everything you want to do probably because they don’t like it shouldn’t weigh you down but rather motivate you and make you stronger. Some advice may sound discouraging but doesn’t mean we should shy away from them, use it to build yourself it maybe beneficial more than you imagined.

Have you noticed that since the thread came up in the board, the kind of post you find here has changed to a very large extent?
I guess that the purpose of the caution is gradually yielding positive result and I'm happy it has helped the board in the right way. Our snr men in the forum serves as leaders and role model to those of us coming up and it would be bad that they will see us going outside of the reason why the board was created and not encourage us to do better.
When I joined the board the first thing I observed was the kind of thread our board members makes here and I just followed suit not until the thread came up that I got my thought process shaped in line with the purpose of the board and I'm working on only creating threads that is bitcoin related or at least informative and educative enough.
Yes, your right. Ever since it boss Agbe and other senior members took action on the shitposting matter, i have been seeing good post on the LB. Sometime a little action needs to be taken if not human wont change.

At least make we maintain this our current posting style we go see how the LB go they. Nothing bad wey be say wen them they talk about LB way get better members them go call our own.
Again, I fully appreciate everyone who have put interest to bring about this change and i pray it continue and we should not deviate instead i pray for more improvement.

The tone peson use in to send out a message e matta well well, if you use commanding tone the people no go give ears to ur message but them go direct their attention to how u send use send the message cos for this forum no bodi be small pikin. So weda wetin we carri for mind na beta tin or not the way we use present am nah sumtin wey go tok a lot about the message. But then, newbies or oldbies oh, make we try di not fload the LB wit spamming repetitive and luk-alike threads. Make we all dey open to learn and know new tins wey we fit use equip oursef so dat wen we enter general boards we fit cap wit boldnex and beta tok.
Na wetin dey my mind you just talk like this. Everyone of us wan succeed for this forum and if you get person wey wan show you way, you go like follow am but if the person wan drag you or embarrass you, you no go too like am. No be everything argument dey solve, some na peaceful talk go solve am. Make I give you example, you carry pikin go school and you tell am say if e no carry number 1 you go disgrace. And as the pikin no fit carry number 1, na to stop going to school cux e no wan make you embarrass am. Na so this matter be. Me, I no wan too put mouth for that matter but e sure me say some people go stop visiting the LB. I know say na way to encourage us but the approach no too dey appropriate.
I suggest that topics that ain't bitcoin related topics shouldn't be discussed anymore and we should attend to existing topics that have been created that are informative and has low or no reply by members of these local board as their some creative posts with zero reply or no much reply so instead of creating numerous topics that are saying or almost saying the same thing we need to browse through the pages to find out if there are post that are related to the ones you wish to create, by so doing the rate of spamming will reduce to the minimal.
Even you wey talk this thing know say e no go possible. Even for general board e no go dey possible because the thing go become boring. Wetin you wan dey discuss about bitcoin every day like that? The best thing now na to get sub board wey politics and other related issues will be discussed and the main bitcoin talk for here. The reason for all this things be say, some of this newbies think say na the thread wey you create dey bring bitcoin. Na why we get plenty thread and insignificant topics than comments. I believe we can do better as time goes on now.

Let no one be discouraged because I appreciate what they are doing. If there are no rules, everywhere will be cluttered with irrelevant things, making it look like a joke. Remember, nothing good comes easy; that's why you need to learn from the older ones so you can make quality posts. Anywhere there are no rules to govern anyone, that place is doomed for failure.

I'm very pleased that this thread is coming from a newbie and also advising the newbies but generally passing great information to those set of people found in this area that he mentioned here, I have always said that different people with their motives of being here, but I must say it for some time now, I have not created any thread, it is not that I don't want to create topic, the truth is I won't be prepared for such before I do the needful, for a matter of clarity, I am not against anyone creating a thread here, but am only saying that it should be informative and worth replying, my senior colleagues I stand to be corrected in this one because I can never do without you guys, this is my take, let's do what is right here so that this board will be very exceptional, as for getting merit here, it is just a natural thing and a reward for quality and hard work, that's why we most do it right and be seen as the best all the time.

Most times I don't understand if it's the need to have more posts or more merits that drive members in this local section to make comments of low impact or quality.
The worst is spamming. I don't know why some never take the issue serious or even bother to understand what the word spamming means.
Perhaps, someone can make a post to explain some of these rules clearly or pin a thread to this effect on the top of our local board for both newbies and for those willing to do better to read and stay woke to the reality of this community.
Some of us newbie are just too anxious and full of anxiety maybe due to what he or she has been told about the benefits that the forum provides and how possible is it for him or she to enjoy these privileges, so they tend to go all wild with their posting thinking that's the way to earn merits faster and start enjoying these benefits where as that's actually the most wrongful way to go about it. Well first I won't lie, I was a victim of such even stoop so low at the point of even using AI help to construct some writing and aid me in discussion but that was then until I was PM and correct that those are the wrong way to follow and since I have tried my very best to learn as much as possible and contribute my best in every discussion where I know my knowledge will be useful and that's why I am encouraging all lower rate like me to put in their best and hep improve and represent our glorious nation here and every other formal place. The worst is spamming. I don't know why some never take the issue serious or even bother to understand what the word spamming means.

Good day to everyone,
I am actually writing this post prior to the recent happening on the local board and I know this would have been hard on some newbie who are actually trying to just get involved and atleast earn some merits to grow, but like other senior member have said, spamming the local board isn't actually the right way to go about it.
The recent thread created about cleaning the local board shouldn't be taken as discouragement by any newbie or any lower rank like myself as to make them shy away from the Local board but as a challenge to all of us to try as much as possible to be creative enough and improve our ourselves in discussion and creation of thread related to Bitcoin and other SUB BOARD that will soon be added to the LB, hopefully if possible.
The senior member like agbe, Charles-Tim, brainboss, igebots, and so many more are just trying their best to help this board grow and improve our post quality here in the forum at large but the fact that everyone was once a newbie is still there and must have faced the challenge one or more times.

Good one mate, and I believe this coming from a lower rank like yourself would send some message to others to actually step up their game and start making quality post or replies here. With your stats yourself, I can see that your recent improvement has been good because your written and involvement has changed greatly and this is what we need here in the forum because improvement actually shows that you are growing and I think if everyone should emulate this then they wouldn't be any problem to such deal like spam posting or shit posting here in our local board.

This your tok sense dey am but you no see say you sef folo dey spam? You sef point out say some topics have been made cautioning newbies on how to limit the number of spam on the forum but here you are doing the same thing?
I don tok this thing before and I go tok am again, if you like literally drag the ears of these noobs and shout it in their ears, who wan spam go spam. You can only force the horse to stream but can't force it to drink water.
When you think a topic has been stressed upon, you go wake to see another one with the same message but a different title.
You do well to get the development of the forum at heart but instead of repeating what has been talked about, why not focus on other things more helpful.
This advice coming from a newbie will be swept under the carpet by your fellow noobs because they feel you're just like them and as your leg never strong for here, to them, you no get much to offer..

E dey sweet me say this advice dey come from fresher to em fellow newbie, I like the fact say you get sense to give this kind of quality advice to newbies. Our boss dem dey vex well well because of this situation wey our local board dey like this, I still Thank God say boss agbe don go chuk mouth so that dem go fit give us sub board make we for fit separate bitcoin talk and and other yamyama talk dem. So this idea fit still help to reduce spamming as people go dey see watin dey for the the end of the board well before e enter the next page.
Newbies just as the op talk make una no take am as discouragement oo because when I first start this forum, I been dey very interested in the bitcoin discussion board but when I see the way dem dey very aggressive naim I run come this local board come dey hide until my post get beta quality small, buy that one no mean say I been dey spam post oo, na only once I do am unintentionally and immediately I Lock the thread. wattin I dey talk be say outside worse pass inside, person don constantly tell you say your post no get enough quality say na just to fish merit? Outside this board dem go criticize you em, you go nearly give up.

In addition to wetting you dey talk, I think most of the reason why this things come plenty like this na because of unnecessary threads wey Dem dey creat. I think if person no fit create useful thread wey better, make the person just comment on already created or existing ones. No be every body wey sabi creat thread. I think person need to check were you dey good at. Some people dey good for commenting. you fit just dey comment dey improve until you martured for here. Creating of regular unnecessary threads dey reduce person value and e dey show how in-martured person dey. You ft get merits by just commenting reasonably. naim be my own idea of how them fit reduce most shitposting.
November 08, 2023, 05:08:22 PM
I remember when i join dis forum di off topics for our local board no be like dis, infact na more of bitcoin related topics we de enjoy for di board. That time every month wey chairman Igebotz, go update our local board review, di kind comments wey our members de make for the thread na how happy wey dem de say di quality of posts for our board de increase. Plus di SatoPrincess, monthly btc reward for quality post, we im de take encourage upcoming members to de focus on quality posts for di board. Di btc reward wey i don de privileged to win three different times,
Aldo i reason say we need some off topics to de spice our bitcoin related discussions for here, so we go fit to digress sometimes discuss other meaningful topics wey we fit to learn something valuable from. But as most of our newbies and even some experienced members come de start off topics wey no fit to add any value for us come tire me. Dat na why i come de happy say our senior ogas dem come do di right thing to caution di new trend.
Las las for dis matter e go make sense if we get sub board for our local board, to de carter for off topics E surprise me say 90% of other local boards get dem own sub boards, and as we de active reach, we no come get any one.
