Topic: Are newbies afraid to comment on threads of highly ranked members? (Read 1118 times)

OP I understand the fear, is like engaging yourself in a conversation where you're the only young one and the rest are elders (Older people), you may have ideas and what you say can really help like in case of the Forum you might have a better information to give but seeing that you're not in that category of people who are dropping comments and also belittle yourself will just kill your confidence.
I ones had that thought but after sometime i said to myself that even if I make any mistake I believe that we have those who can correct me (we're all here to learn) and by doing so I'm learning and there's no need to hide what I know or hide my thoughts.
To me I wouldn't say you should see the legendary member hero members senior members are those who are invincible or you see them as those who have all the knowledge (they're also humans like you are) and you can't or you don't have anything to contribute, the highest you can do is make research on what they're saying that's if you have no clue and if there's any mistake from you they'd correct you.

This apply to me I never thought it twice to contribute the one I very sure, as good idea though the senior may view it coming from newbies with less knowledge but that don't make feel inferior. One thing about human most time we use class to make our self less confidence . When a child wash it's hand clean he eat with elders, do the right thing you will be appreciated no matter the calibal of personality, courage make you learn faster but one must remain silent and learn where you know you have no idea to contribute.

My friend there is no need of being afraid of replying thread of senior, hero or legendary members. All peop here are humans they also started from somewhere. You can't use because of thee rank and chose not to coment them. Life is full of intermediation, bully and many other form of discrimination. But you just have to sum up courage and try your best. Failure is not an excuse to lack of success. Success is achieved by frequent failure. If you check theost succeefull men in the world, they always have something to say about their life and failure. Scientists does thousands of practical in the lab before coming up with a good one. So do be afraid just take everyone as a family and see how far you will go.

This always happen when the newbie is afraid of criticism forgetting that if you are been criticised it will stand as a correction for you to grow though that's if the criticism is constructive, high ranked members will always correct you if you are derailing so being afraid of their threads is not part of the learning process here, if you want to learn and grow in this forum the best thread to reply on is the one created by high because such thread will attract the attention of other high members and you will learn from their contributions in that thread, ask question if you don't understand, everyone was once a newbie, a shy writer will never learn unless he changes his attitude.

Fear is a natural feeling and when you come into a new place where there are intellectuals, people who have gathered knowledge of what you seek, it's quite natural to want to feel intimidated because you're afraid that you might not measure up to their standard. The only thing to do in this forum is summon courage to make posts based on your understanding and put yourself under the experienced members montorship, inasmuch as you're not competing with them, you'll learn and increase your knowledge. I joined the forum without any crypto knowledge and today most things that I know about the industry is from this forum, this is the best place to discuss and learn about crypto related matters.

Why would a newbie be interested in Meta or reputation topics? When you do not have enough knowledge of the forum to form an opinion on the issues. Marketplace is mostly for business deals between forum members, newbies do not have a reputation or trust to be able to partake in any kind of business transaction.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention Bitcoin Technical Support, and Development & Technical Discussion. Most newbies will find it difficult to follow discussions on this two boards because of the technical nature of the topics there.
I suppose you can’t find the meaning of these words on google;

https://www.coingecko.com/en/glossary

Or on the forum;

I taught I was the only person who sees this. When I first joined this group because I had no Idea of Bitcoin everything I see here was a mystery to me I didn't know or understand what was going on like I said this place is another school, someone might think they know alot but the kind of things I see here made me realize education never ends. There are some boards in this forum I never intend taking part as a newbie because the English the, the crypto languages, the abbreviation of crypto words was so high for my own knowledge and understanding

some of the boards newbies fear.
1: Meta board.
2 : Altcoin discussion
3 Market place.
4 : Speculation board
5 : Trading discussion.

WHAT TO DO?.
As a newbie that faces these challenges what you are meant to do is not to be in a rush to post just take some time follow these words back to back follow the post back to back and lastly always visit those boards you see as threat to you read the posts if you see any word you don't understand tap that word the word and the Google logo would show below tap it and find the meaning.

Some of these difficult words for newbies.
1 Altcoin
2 FAQ
3 Airdrop
4 ATH. and many more.
Also engage in senior men discussion to learn wider.

Upon discovering this thread, I was captivated and thrilled, as this frequently occurs to novices such as myself, as engaging with, addressing, or supplementing the thoughts of more experienced members is quite difficult.
I also consider it this way: I would rather ignore the discussion than get a hard time from folks who have been on the site for a long time.
However, I've come to realise that just because someone has a higher rank doesn't necessarily indicate that we are on an equal footing. If your response still makes sense in light of the post, then it's definitely a good fit.
We must no longer be hesitant to respond to leaders in our higher ranks. likewise, we continue to acquire knowledge through the elderly.

You should not be afraid of joining any conversation in this forum because your conversation or your suggestion is needed mostly in order to solve some problems that is related to us so don't see cheap and low for you to engage in a thread that numerous high hierarchy members of this forum discuss or comment based on their personal opinion. Secondly what I want you to do is that, you should try to read and understand every comment before you can then tender own suggestions

In one time or the other many of us might have been in this kind of situation so it's nothing new here.
Sometimes avoiding discussions of highly ranked members is to prevent attacks from them and not to out mouth on discussion that would make people see is like we don't actually know what opinions we are giving. Sometimes it could be due to less understanding about the topic. There are some topic that needs a great understanding about cryptocurrency before we can pen down opinions but when we don't have that knowledge, things might become more of rubbish opinions which can be seen as spamming in the community.

You make a good point.  Not knowing much about something can make folks afraid to join conversations, particularly with high-ranking members.  Reading up is always smart.  Though sometimes it aint just a lack of know-how, but worrying about being judged for not having it fully formed.  Sometimes, even if I got worthwhile stuff to say, feeling like I gotta come across perfect-like makes me clam right up. 

But that is my personal problem that I still have to work on. The main point is that on a platform like this we can all contribute to a discussion by sharing what we know, asking questions, and building on each other's ideas.  Even if we dont have all the answers, we can still participate meaningfully and learn from each other.

The reason why you feel scared to contribute to threads that are started by high-rank members is because you may lack the right content to contribute on the topic that can be qualify as an on-topic reply, and the reason may because of your low level of knowledge is that area of discussion so my advice is that, you should keep building your knowledge to be able to have what to add to the discussion and having that knowledge os what will eradicate that fear from your heart and build that confidence in you to be able to meet the standard.
Although I never had such fear and if I didn't have what to contribute to the discussion but find the topic interesting, I would rather read others' comments on such topics and if possible I would make extra effort to search to know more about the topic.

Sure, but that's why we discuss it here, because in my opinion this should change. I am not implying that newbies should go out and write stupid posts, but I am confident that there are a lot of knowledgeable newbies who try to establish a good reputation in here. We 've all been there! Haven't we?

Correct mate, when they are actually participating in a discussion with highly ranked members are discussing they are also getting more advanced knowledge about Bitcoin, forum and crypto currency at large.
Reason few are not getting involved with discussion where highly advanced ranked members are discussing are because they're somehow shy or scared to be attacked by their mistakes when they make any.  Some newbies are types of people that doesn't like abuse's so they respect themselves and are very sensitive and mindful of the kind of posts they make and the kind of replies they do.

By all means, newbies should engage to any conversation they want. By that I mean that newbies need to gain knowledge, just like everyone does. So, commenting on threads of highly ranked members is encouraged.

Don't forget that highly ranked doesn't necessarily mean "more reputable". In this forum, reputation is difficult to be earned and it requires paying attention to other users, learning from them and then using this knowledge to educate other members.

So, if you want to do that, there is no other way than to engage in conversations. I can assure you, that I have been laughed at, at first. But gradually, you prove yourself useful and the whole situation improves significantly.

I think most of the reason for the fear is because most newbie tend to see other newbies being corrected and some of them that aren't willing to learn make it seem as if it's actually a bad thing for them to be corrected. I have seen newbie's involved in some serious discussion and that's because these certain newbie actually have done their home work because the community here is all about offering what you have upstairs and that also is a major fault coming from sets of newbies because they are eager to involve themselves in discussion where as they have failed to actually learn well first and I tell you it leads to correction which other newbies see and take it as oppression cases.

Hmm OP You open a very appropriate Topic because 99% of members are scared when they see a thread where high-ranking members are discussing despite being As a member of despite, you have the right to participate in this discussion, but often juniors are afraid of whether our posting quality is good or not or whether these seniors will not like what we say. The senior knows that the junior does not become a part of this discussion due to a lack of confidence.
 
The main point of the matter is that you have done a very good job of elaborating on this topic, which is often found in the hearts of low-ranking members, but no one has bothered to explain it. But anyway, the newbie or low-ranking member will know that this forum is the same for everyone, general and special, everyone has the right to express their opinion, but within the circle of principles. And the second thing is that the high-ranking member is eager to teach and explain things to the junior, but the junior is running away. So the junior should participate in the discussion with the high-ranking member, he will gain knowledge and solve problems. will get.
 
In the end, I will say what I learned from my senior: no matter what, ask without any hesitation, and the senior will guide you. I myself have seen many high-ranking members who lack confidence. If he sees it, he definitely helps guide him. No one graduates from their mother's womb, everyone learns in the same way by learning from their senior.

It's normal to feel that, especially as a newbie. Cause I also felt the same way back then, and sometimes I still feel it up to this day. But it depends on the topic or the thread cause there are topics that I am not really that knowledgeable so I kinda doubt myself with what I'm about to share, if it makes sense or what I am saying is correct.

Seeing the ranks surely affects some of the lower ranks. Sometimes it's kinda intimidating to interact with higher ranks cause obviously, they've been here in the forum for a long time and already have a lot of knowledge. But the positive side of interacting with their threads or topic, you'll gain knowledge based on their experiences here. It's like, being surrounded by users with enough knowledge will make you learn things you don't know in the crypto space. Also, if you really want to share what's on your mind, feel free to share it since that's what the forum is for. You can be corrected, you can ask and learn new stuff, and you can share your ideas to others as well.

In life, we all have fears in us, but we ought to be courageous, to kick out the fears in us so that we can be able to grow and reach the maximum height and dreams we aim at.

Many of us had fears when we were newbies but as time went on, we began to let go of our fears, to begin to make our contribution post, and also accept corrections when given. Due to our steady reading of posts made on various boards, we began to gain expertise in crypto.

Had it been most forum members kept mute in the forum because of fears, they wouldn't have gotten to the higher rank they aimed at. However, whatever good one chooses to embark on, being fearful won't get them there. They will try to contribute, no matter how little it is, so that they can pass on information and also learn from others because nobody on this earth knows it all or has the knowledge of everything embedded in them.

when you are able to conquer your fears and accept to learn and accept corrections when given, the sky will be the person above breakthrough. Have that in mind.

It's true that newbies or less experienced users are usually a little afraid to reply to higher ranking members' posts because they post without considering the quality of higher ranking members' posts, so newbies are sometimes criticized a bit. Those members are usually critiqued by post quality, those members usually post using AI and usuallyCopies and replays from other sources. These members are usually subject to disciplinary action for post quality. However, members who post without using AI or copied posts have no reason to fear but feel free to replay the posts of higher ranking members.
