Yeah and that sucks. Well, let's just say that the forum is not for them and they aren't willing to learn Bitcoin or they aren't interested in it to stay here in the forum. This forum is a great community where many people share, read and learn about cryptocurrency and they'll surely miss it. Anyway, there are other ways to learn about crypto I'm sure you know it and maybe that's why they left because they may have read some criticism and feel bad or they may have taken it seriously (who knows why).

When reading a criticism that turns out to have no solution to it then a person who is criticized will feel that he has made a mistake.
Everyone's mentality is different and if he cannot overcome it into something positive then he will stop there.

Sometimes those who are criticized will take anything seriously depending on the context of what is being discussed.
There are many other ways to learn about Bitcoin, there are many social media, including Youtube with explanations that may be visually clearer but Bitcointalk is the center of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency knowledge, here we discuss everything in detail.

You can never know how certain people will react, and some are more friendly, others seem aggressive. It's important that you don't come here with a prejudice or negative attitude because you will receive the same treatment or worse. Genuine and honest people will get the help they need. It might take time, but you will get there.

Have an open mind and don't use feelings but use your mind to digest everything.
As a member of the forum who has been here since 2016, I get a lot of negative comments,
and positive and some constructive comments we will know what is wrong with our threads and comments and some are just present with words that seem like belittling.
So no need to argue, just relax and take everything positively.

Asking questions is always better than committing a serious mistake and then asking how to correct it. The only thing worse than that is asking how to cancel your confirmed transactions or get your coins back. It shows a lack of understanding of how Bitcoin works. So whenever something doesn't fill right, ask away.

If you want a good source to read about Bitcoin and its ecosystem, you can give The Sovereign University a try. I found it a few weeks ago and I like their courses. Take a look if you aren't afraid to invest some time reading.

It's just that there are some annoying newbie behaviors. they create a question thread, then leave their own thread and create another question thread. that means they really don't care about the discussion that is developing.

what you say is true, not all beginners on the forum understand the forum as a whole. even just using the search feature may be too difficult for beginners. I just hope they have the confidence to be more active in discussions. although sometimes limited knowledge makes beginners quite insecure.

Again, refer to the last part of what I've said, don't answer the question if you think it's a waste of time and I think that them being annoying is considered in that regard. Regarding the last part of what you said though, I think that we don't have any control in that, it's up to the newbie if he's willing and enthusiastic to be an active participant in the forum.

Make it easier. You can use the forum search button when you need to know something. That will show you some relayed topics and replies. If you can't find your desired answers, then you may create a thread. Nevermind if some people criticise you; a few members will answer you. Don't take criticism seriously; otherwise, you can't learn. Just ignore negative comments and move forward.

Good advice, I have noticed in the past some days newbies asking questions in beginners and Meta thread which already discussed well before. If they search for these, they would find most of answer. Starting New thread can be helpful if OP keep active it by replying so that other members know either problem of OP solved or still he has some confusion.

Crictism is beauty of decentralized platform where you are free to discuss and criticise any opinion regardless of looking to the rank. I personally learned knowledge through this method in this forum. When someone crictise any point it promt me to research further on it which gives me aware of other related knowledge too. One should not discourage from Nagative comment as these comments help you identify the improvement area and also leads to health discussion and debate.

It's more than foolish if you don't read, search to find answers before you ask questions.

If you always ask questions without your due diligent research, it's foolish because I am doubtful you will read any replies on your questions. Being lazy enough to not search that is enough to don't read any reply.

There's a hint of truth to that but that doesn't mean that it's the whole truth because there are times when you don't even know what to read. Calling people lazy just because they don't read and just question outright is kind of condescending of you to say, newbies won't really know what to do so they ask questions first. In regards, to people that's answering those questions, it's not like it's going to be a mandatory thing for you to answer them, if you find the question a waste of your time then don't answer it.

There will always be negative comments or unfavorable criticism.
But from the criticism, we should take the positive and evaluate what is wrong.

Regardless of rank newbie or legendary, they will all be criticized when there are differences of opinion or discrepancies with existing data.
It will make the discussion healthier and more new knowledge is gained.

Although I initially received loads of criticism and of course some useful information, someone dropped a link to an article that gave me an insane guide on key fundamental topics like.

If you don't want some of their response to be ccrticized you have to avoid ask unuseful questions. That's why They always advise us beginners to do more research and learn a lot, so that we can cover everything before dropping some topics or asking questions, therefore don't ignore the criticism sometimes if you don't failed, you won't learn..

Is there actually a standard for asking questions? Because I know the only way people actually learn very fast is when they are corrected so that such mistake won't occur again. But before a question is asked by a person, the person must have done some research that will make the person be very curious to have the notion of actually wanting to know more on the research you did. This makes the answers that you will get from the question you aksed more understandable and faster for effective learning .

There's nothing wrong with asking questions but it will only mean you are lazy to find the answer yourself through research unless you read first after doing some research before asking. No one likes to spoon-feed someone with everything they know because that person will only depends on you the entire time without making an effort themselves. Asking questions is not bad as it is what helps you to make sure you are not wrong or what you have learned is correct but as I have explained about asking questions without doing research first is not good. That's the reason why there's a search button or search feature in the first place or google if you must with Bitcointalk at ehe end of what you want to search if it's a thread here in the forum.

Nobody will kill you for asking questions, so I believe asking questions will help build more knowledge about the forum, so I believe that asking questions is what can make a person get more knowledge.

If we don't ask questions, we can't develop our knowledge. If we ask questions, and we get answers, other forum members will get some knowledge too from the question and the answers, so asking questions is not a crime.
If someone does not know anything but he or she is willing to learn, I don't think asking a question is something the person should be ashamed to do, because while he asks he still acquires more knowledge. I feel that those people who think that they know everything and don't ask questions are the ones that aren't ready to learn at all.

It does make you a fool for just a minute after which you are not. But does it matter.

I don’t agree with this concept to asking questions. In fact, it means the very opposite. Asking questions means you recognize the fact that. You don’t know and you ain’t shying away from the process of seeking out the knowledge in the unknown. That’s a wise and bold person to me. There is nothing foolish about that.

There’s an unpopular saying that goes; he who asks questions don’t get to miss his directions. That’s what should be the case for any wise learner. You ask questions rather than experimenting and get beaten yet again when all that was needed was to just ask!

Still, you have to ask in cases where you’ve tried other means as per researches and don’t find the answers you need. When you don’t search and you just go about creating a thread on the forum for an existing topic, it doesn’t get much attention.

It does make you a fool for just a minute after which you are not. But does it matter. Main thing is that you are learning and you are growing. The wealth of knowledge in the cryptocurrency ecosystem is so big that even those developers sometimes ask questions when they don't know something. And the wonderful thing about it is that no matter what how stupid the question may sound, there is always someone who has the grace to answer them all. Therefore, ask away.

Asking questions are very important because it ginves you a better edge and understanding over others and what you are doing it does not make you a fool but expose you to knowledge ,ginves a clearer picture of your thoughts and situation mainly in bitcoin investment without someone teaching you there will be no ideas or knowledge and in the process you ask questions.
The type of questions and manner in which you ask questions determine who you are.Always ask reasonable questions thatcam impact knowledge and most especially in Bitcoin.

Not a few beginners are afraid to ask questions, if you dare to ask, that is a good thing. Sometimes many people are willing to ask a question in this forum, they actually need a lot of self-confidence, it's no wonder that many beginners don't ask because they don't have enough courage to thearize or just ask.

So, good beginners are those who like to read and ask questions. However, asking here doesn't mean you want to, it's a good idea before asking to search for yourself in the forum search, if you can't find it then ask a question. Because it's not good to ask by making the same question thearized, because you repeat questions, you are afraid that your question will be deleted by the moderator.

In essence, a good beginner is a beginner who likes to find out and dig deeper into the rules and benefits of this forum. Asking questions is not stupid, in fact frequently discussing and asking questions in forums gives an indication that your thinking is working.

It is better to ask questions which I think this is one of the ways to obtain knowledge by asking questions. Some people have phobia of speaking up whenever they have something to say. Trying not to ask people about Something that is not clear is a sign of foolishness because the more you ask questions it is the more you will understand things better. People have falling into big problems just that they decides to keep things to themselves. One of the things I love here no matter questions one drop their is always an answer to it.

I became active in the forum last month and at first, it was difficult to understand how so many things work here.

Asking questions all the time is not a good one. Sometimes users ask questions and the other members post their own opinion on it and it that they will gain knowledge but sometimes when a person ask useless or too many or moral-less questions it will bour us. Yes, you can gain knowledge by asking a question but sometimes the person gets too serious and does not check it by himself instead, he comes and asks the other members. They also used a method in which they asked the same question but in different ways in different threads, like what are the needs of these types of posting. So request newbies to ask a question which is very necessary and also go through your own research and walk here and here in the forum I am sure you will become a successful person on this forum.

The thread Newbies - Read before posting is for lazy members who don't search but always ask.

I think the search bar is one of those features in this forum that is underutilized by a majority of the users, whether new or old.

The search bar works like wonders and tons of threads can be consolidated as one due to the sheer amount of similarities that are posted. If people were to use this tool, then same threads and spams can be prevented.

Lastly, the internet is your friend- all the information is on your fingertips. If you have any questions, then you can always use any search engine (e.g. Google, Yahoo, etc.) to learn and to discover new information or anything related about cryptocurrencies.

Asking questions is convenient but most of us forget to do our own search since asking questions will let others do the task for us. I am not against asking questions but we should at least do our best to search and research for answers. It is way better to ask questions to verify if our found knowledge is a fact or a myth than asking questions and letting others do the research for us. Letting others do the task for us is plain laziness.

Sadly in this forum, many are too lazy to search for an answer and yes, the worst thing is they don't even bother reading replies. Making a fool of the person who genuinely trying to provide an answer to the person's querry.

Repetitive topics can be useful sometimes. There are many valuable topics that will be hard to find. Due to new topics created on a regular basis, those topics shadowed and stayed out of new user's eyes. However, reading old topics in a new post can shake our memory and our knowledge about those topics can be preserved in our long-term memory so that we won't forget about it completely.
