Topic: As A Bitcointalk Member (Read 928 times)

If you have been doing that and is helpful to other members, I'd say please continue doing that because I have come to a conclusion that we all have ways of contributing to this Forum even if some of our works ain't recognized by so many upper hands but what matters is doing the right thing and letting others know what they don't know, after all we're all here to learn and dispose useful information.

Does translation counts as contribution in your sense? If yes, then I can say, I did translations from other language into my local language. The translations greatly helped spread important topic throughout all sorts of people. The topics itself were of great knowledge. Anyone with English difficulties could read these translations from their own language. How good is that!

I consider contributive chats and points stated as a worthy contribution to the forum. Also, the newbies section where people tend to give worthy counsel on navigations and also informing people on how best to only contribute to conversation with synchronisation is also part of it.

There are also those who contribute wholly to the forum by being merit sources as well. Those who also bring in campaigns are part of those contributing firmly.

In short some newbies didn't think how to rank up cause all they want to do is to earn small amount of money from bounties and we can not deny the fact that some newbies prefer to joins bounties rather than making good and quality post in order to reach milestones here in our community and like what you said above mate that they can also earn money through signature campaign if thier rank is eligible for it.
In my own I think those accounts participating in bounties are some of them are in one hand, maybe some people have multiple accounts in thier cause you imagine how small the payment is if you are working on it so there's a possibility that they created multiple accounts so that they can join and earn much bigger amount.

The newbie was working in the bounty now with the Facebook or Twitter accounts in the Facebook or Twitter campaign.So forum now the working platform for the new people to the forum.If the newbie made the good posts,they easily update their rank to the high rank and had an opportunity to work in the Signature campaign.But some new people come to forum and they try to miss use of the platform by multiple accounts.The forum give us the chance of earning opportunity,So it should be used wisely and no miss use of the chance in the community.If the newbie not made post longer it became the inactive account and became useless.If the newbie contributed to the community,they get rewarded for the same.

I think I understand your point. Some people might be speaking so pumpus and arogant or even looking for who to report in any slightest opportunity. but thats by the way in place like this forum you'll meet different set of human being like haters, arogant, discriminators or racist. Satoshi Nakamoto used his time to produce a reasonable thing like bitcoin and also created a room like this for communication and bringing out the best in people sothat they might be productive and also think of innovative ideas that will make the world a better place. But many choose to dig deep in people's case and find error and report to become a good person, perhaps I don't think that is a good approach. There are still better things one can do for people to respect you. If you check Satoshi bitcointalk profile you'll see that he has less activities but he is always remembered for what he has done.

The only award those set of people get is merit to their outstanding style of post and newbies let's say some of them don't really care about what goes on in the Forum like they post without checking if the post is in the right place or not (we all make sure errors), some of these users careless of their account is just annoying, because they're the ones who open account to go against the rules of the Forum and when tagged they see it as nothing and they continue doing what they're doing.

 @Op Different members in this forum are famous in different ways. Some have been with the forum for a long time so they are famous, and I see some people who are willing to work for the forum. If I say (you-me) I can only discuss and provide information of importance to the forum. Many gamblers are leaving credits on forums so different people are leaving credits on forums in different ways. But the biggest achievement is sticking with the forum for a long time. and using and broadcasting bitcoins.

They are many user out there still doing that  kind of habits, but in bounties board only,  in the global board such meta beginners and help then there are many newbies or users here in our community who are improving a lot such us they contributed very well and then earn some rewards and ad we can see there are many newbies who have earn a lot of achievements because of their contribution. But we can bot deny that there are also a lot of newbies don't care thier account as long as they can make a post.

That's another side of showing how good or should I say important in terms of contributing to the Forum. That's  where we have so many members who post and go off like nothing happened, from what you said these set of users don't put it to heart, they do their thing and go but with some when told them about how good their post has been helpful it will get into their head and with time you see them losing that ability to post useful contents.
As for newbies they're just getting into play so with time they'd realize that they need to straighten up.

Although I haven't been here long enough but during my short stay here, I think the difference is clear with some members of the community and other members but what I will just like to clear out is that not all member actually needs to be the so called prominent because even the circle of life states this, because they need to be a balance of things as some people need to commit mistake, some correct those mistake and so many other things that needs the balance of life and since here is a community it's actually normal because there is always a level of higher rank and common member of the community.

Being a prominent member in the forum has to do with the contribution you’ve made in the forum. There is no tag attached to anyone for being a prominent member in the forum. For all members in the forum I see as prominent is based on my own personal experience/encounter on their posts, their contributions to the forum and how often I come across their informative posts in the forum. Being a prominent member is just a name you decide to use for members you feel have such potentials, I might have a different meaning to that, but people I regard and hold with high esteem in the forum are my most prominent members here that I look up to.

It's you that choose such a name prominent people in the forum,  what we have in the forum that's well known is a reputable members in the forum, and been reputable is based on your transaction with people and how sincere you are in the forum..and theirs a very big symbol shown that you have transact with this person and it can be recommended to another person base on how sincere is the person

So it's call Trust and it shows green colour in which I know quite well, so what I want you to know is that everyone in this forum is equal and what different you from another person is how sincere you are and trustworthy you are. Theirs some people here their objective is to make sure they have scammed people and that's their motive as well...while others their motive is to read and learn things about bitcoin.

Well, the forum has enough traffic already and yeah a new member won't be increasing the traffic levels a lot but if someone who is keen to learn about Bitcoin and want to share his/her idea to others then this is the right forum for that person. I still think it's somewhat risky to invite your closed ones into the forum because they can cause trouble for you if they aren't really positive about Bitcoin.

Btw, private invitations aren't going to cause any risk to you as long as you don't introduce them yourself but surely each new member can bring something new so it's good to have new members on the forum. Let's say that if someone invites 10 members and out of that 10 members 3 to 4 of them become contributing members of the forum then it's a win-win situation I guess.

Agree with this mate there are many users here in our community who are posting without knowing that their post is not just useful like for example in bounties board there are many high number of post but still newbie cause all of thier post is spam. But there's a users here in our community who are posting very good and contributed well In this community they make useful topics in order to teach  forum members.

There is nothing special in inviting people to join Bitcointalk and i don't think the forum is lacking in traffic or number of users. Notwithstanding, if you know people who have an interest in Bitcoin or have questions regarding Bitcoin and other whatnots, you definitely have to invite them to come here, the problem is when you begin to invite people who have zero interest in Bitcoin and who think they can pick up some quick money here, that's how we get more trolls, bounty hunters and low-level spammers.

Sharing the Forum with others like inviting them and telling them about Bitcoin, how to trade or investing on Bitcoin to make profit e.t.c is that how you mean?
People are still doing that and to me if I have a way of detecting thoso who have negative intentions while joining I'd just kick them out. Is good to create awareness but bad eggs are much in the Forum than good one, and with that it wouldn't speak good of anyone who's here to do crazy things that ain't connected to the growth of this Forum.
The Forum is huge and is even getting bigger every single day with people joining, I don't think there's another way of inviting people to join other than the way you inform others, make the invite, you need no permission to do that but invite those who can make this place better not by doing wrong. Becoming recognized start with that.

The next best thing to posting good content here is sharing this forum with others. This has exponential effect because if people you have shared with also like the content, they will share further. This can result in mass awareness and adoption of crypto. Many here are for other purposes like interested in services. If the forum owner could encourage such members also to share the forum with friends and family, this forum can see huge growth.

You don't need to earn any title before you see yourself in that category (from the way you're saying it), all you need to do is keep your head up high, continue letting yourself know that you have a lot to do while you're doing your thing on the Forum.
I don't think you should talk about your post not in any way of high quality, I believe members here are the ones who can tell if you're doing well or not (which to me you are), for me I'd say do your thing and let your work speak for you.
If you're real with your words? Does speaking ill about people's errors included 😁?
And we shouldn't always talk much about earning, is there already and is like is bad to post and earn some Sats like you said. To me posting and correcting some errors by other members should be considered other than making those in any campaign feel like they're in the Forum only to earn.

Well, some members of this forum have really developed a few things in the forum, and as such, they become respected members or prominent (like you said) of the forum, but some people too did not actually develop anything in the forum, but they are still respected members of the forum. How is that possible? It's possible because they have been doing what you just called post, and you said it's just a normal thing. Of course, it's normal to post, but this time around, there has been a less of good quality posts, but those other prominent members who have only been making posts have been making quality posts. They don't create threads all the time unless there is actually a very good reason to do so. These people have been dedicated to the forum for a long time, and they are known based on the fact that they don't do shitposts and don't make unnecessary comments where they're not necessarily needed.

I know most members but don't want to call their attention. They are respected members here because of their consistency and how productive their ideas can be on threads.

I have not earned any titles yet, but I don't consider myself a bad poster here. Although not all my posts are of the highest quality, I am always real with every comment I leave. Again, it's a matter of time to determine how consistent one is in terms of quality posts and not just posting to earn some SATs.
