That’s should be the very first thing to do as you will easily learn if you ask some guidance and learn from other’s experience in the forum. Know that those who came here first have clearly gained better knowledge and skills so newbies should always see them as their mirror and learn from their mistakes and experiences they did in the forum and in the crypto market.

What Op posted has been discussed several times but it seems that newbies actually find favor in teaching what they do not understand or simply by thwarting what established members have to say. I do not actually know how the trend started but it seems that it's been working for them and that is why new ones are doing it.

I have no problem if a professional newbie joins the forum to teach people about bitcoin. We have seen such cases but no matter how knowledgeable a newbie is, he cannot posses the knowledge of the forum more than an established member.

Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin

With my observation, many newbie are merit conscious to the point of posting low quality posts not because they are not good but because they are rushing to see people start giving them merit. Learning is key to knowledge and the path to success.

If I have not join this forum and learn about Cryptocurrency in detail. I never knew there is a big difference between bitcoins and the shitcoins. I once thought one can invest in any of them and wait for profit not knowing that shitcoins can hit the rock at any moment and vanish into the air.

It's a good idea, if we learn first before thinking of contributing, that will help us understand better and help others. As I speak, I am still learning and trying to know more.

If you come across posts you are not acquainted with, learn from the posts and the replies, it isn't a must for you to write something that will end up annoying others or see you as spammer.

Learning first, build our experience. Your motor as a newbie should be learn first and every other things will follow and be added unto you.

Well, it it's not a requirement to become an outstanding poster in the Forum. You can choose to learn about Bitcoin independently from outside environment like from good books that are well prepared by prominent advocate of Bitcoin supporters from its early days, you can also learn from who want to learn a bitcoin website, every page from that website has been useful and you can also learn from credible place like Bitcoin.stackexchange to improve your knowledge from those questions and answers, they help a lot if you make use of these platforms.

However, the forum is important to relate and know how to post in a very effective way to communicate with other members, you can choose to learn from others but be selective because some people are influencial in a way that deviate true meaning of Bitcoin ways, we have plenty of them here.

Well, it’s a must I think that if you are not familiar about the thread, then learn from other comments first so you will also get the whole idea and have your own analysis on it. That is why learning is constructive, you don’t have to rely on oneself only but care to brainstorm first from other members post. That is one way from saving your post not to go off topic. However, when it comes to investing and trading, same thing goes. Learn from the experience of those veteran members, as they have been exposed in the market for long and have developed more working strategies to combat or prevent themselves from losses.

So in conclusion, beginners in this forum have the right to make a thread or reply that is instructive, because this is a discussion forum and all members are welcome to discuss.
As long as the post is of high quality and does not violate the rules and regulations in this forum.

This is an important point, this forum is a very open place for discussion for anyone regardless of account rating. I also don't mind if a beginner teaches something or provides important information to other members, as long as the information provided is mastered, don't teach others who don't know themselves. as long as the information or opinion he shares makes sense and is correct it doesn't matter, instead he will get Merit. However, there are indeed many beginners who create motivational posts or threads just to pursue Merit but in reality they don't know what they are writing.

Especially if a beginner teaches other members about forum techniques or forum rules that they haven't fully mastered, it looks very awkward and strange. Indeed, this Forum is a very open place for discussion but everything has limitations and capacities. Don't push yourself too hard, as a beginner you should continue to improve literacy and enjoy the process, everything takes time.

Yes I agree with you .Before you begin trading as a newbie, you must have a lot of knowledge and an understanding of the procedures and techniques behind the system. Spend some time learning about the ways of trading, such as various markets, trading tactics, risk control, and technical analysis. And, to enable yourself to do something, It is necessary to get some knowledge from trading forums like this. Also, share your experience and alternatives with another person for the purpose of better understanding because trading requires constant learning. Additionally, follow seasoned traders, keep up with market news, and periodically review your trades to find areas for development.

Yes, newbies with less knowledge are not expected to teach others in this forum because if someone with less knowledge tries to forcefully teach others, I believe it will end up bringing not useful information, so newbies should say goodbye to the idea of teaching others when they are also there to learn. But when newbies have good knowledge and have confidence enough that they have gained a good portion of it, they can come up with the idea of also contributing to the growth of the forum by passing on any useful information they may have.

But the advice that the OP gave is really very important: newbies should avoid creating threads or reply posts when they know they don't have the knowledge to do so, so hunting for merit with less knowledge will never make you have smooth earning of merits in this forum. Many high-ranking members you see earning merits every day or continuously do so because of their proper knowledge, so rushing yourself to earn merits to just rank up can never make you learn properly, and even when you get the merit by force and rank up to full member, you will not get the opportunity to earn more merits and rank up to others ranks because you have less knowledge to do that.

Sometimes I wonder too because most of the post I have seen from newbies are just as you have described here. There is even one I saw the last time a newbie advising members on how to make post when he or she is writing as a newbie and I asked if the newbie had take his or her to learn from other members ahead of he or she. It is very funny though but it is better ignored than wasting your time because they do not hid to advise. They don't want to learn but are quick to give advise with their newbie rank.

There absolutely nothing wrong in newbies teaching a thing or two, because it is widely accepted that most have gained knowledge be before joining up in the forum. There series of meaningful threads that can be helpful to the community and are created by newbies, it is possible he might caught the whole idea or gain the knowledge through the process of his learning and decides to share with the community.

I really agree with your opinion. Because suppose someone makes a quality thread or reply, but the post was written by a beginner, in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. Because the important point is, these posts have quality written content, and can be useful for forums and useful for fellow members in this forum. It doesn't matter if the author's rank is a rookie. Because someone's knowledge, including in this forum, cannot be seen only from their ranking. Even though the members who are ranked higher, the dominants are very experienced and have a lot of knowledge. But not a few too, there is a beginner, who already has knowledge and knowledge that is quite good.

So in conclusion, beginners in this forum have the right to make a thread or reply that is instructive, because this is a discussion forum and all members are welcome to discuss.
As long as the post is of high quality and does not violate the rules and regulations in this forum.

Probably most of the newbies here are, I mean there was no point in getting the pressure right since it was not a contest at all and it doesnt really have a deadline to rank up, yes merits are a good thing, and it's a good motivation for the high-quality post of the newbies, I mean even though they are still a newbie on there profile it's not like they can't teach someone or something, of course, they could still reply to some topics that they know and tell them what is the problem if they just don't know what they saying I mean we are going to see that easily if they just making things up just to post something. And no one is going to merit that post at all. We can't say that high-rank members are better when it comes to knowledge just because they are high rank, some newbies might have a lot of experience with cryptocurrency compared to some of the members as well.

But if you actually a newbie and doesnt have enough knowledge yet on cryptocurrency it's normal to learn first of course since you can't teach what you didn't really know at all.

I agree with you, because no body who is in the forum who doesn't acquire 75% of the knowledge of bitcoin in the forum starting from 2010 till date, without learning so many of us will not achieve some of the ranks we are today, one of the things that make people to rank up to another level of a rank is when the person is ready to learn, and any newbie who takes learning as assignment in the forum always be successful than the one who is adamant in learning

It's only natural that we start at the bottom before a person becomes successful or what that person have. If a person is adamant in learning then he/she will become knowledgeable sooner or later but opposite of that then they won't learn lots of information. Having a good mindset where a person's mindset is about "learning first until he/she is knowledgeable in cryptocurrency and othersl related topic". Well, there are some people where they are introduced to Bitcoin but what they learned is misinformation or not the correct information.

I believe this is a common knowledge that you have to learn first before you contribute to a discussion both on and off the forum. Newbies that are so interested in wanting to earn on the forum without having an exposure are those that end up spamming they forum and to their best of knowledge they're contributing positively. They post some generic nonsense and except them to be merited, they even go as far as submitting the rubbish they wrote to merits reviewing threads. If you can't spend time to research on things been discussed on the doeum to learn and understand them then you shouldn't be engaging in discussion here.

Sure the forum is opened to everyone not minding their background but spammers aren't welcomed here so if you noticed you aren't getting merits it simply means you must be doing something wrong that has to be changed because merit worthy posts are easily identified and been awarded with merits. Newbies already have a blueprint that they can learn from and they're the higher ranked quality users on the forum. You can learn by simply observing how a quality posters write on the forum and try to make yourself write in those manners genuinely (that's studying to understand things on those subject of discussion on the forum)

Learning first is what helps us to become successful and knowledgeable. If a newbie focused on earning merit won't learn much unless they read different threads. Everyone start at being newbie even the forum members who have legendary rank. Newbies should learn how this forum works before learning about cryptocurrency and must follow the rules. A newbie shouldn't hesitate to ask if they have something they didn't understand because many of the forum members won't hesitate to help those in need of help.

I'm not seeing this to be a new topic anymore in here...I don't believe peeps should be told to FOLLOW before they can begin to lead.
Most times, I see alot of threads created by 'em rookies about something they barely have a handful of knowledge about... A Certain newbie advising other newbies gave rise to the advisors being brutally questioned on what they really know and the evidences to prove the growth from Thier so-called ORIENTATION..it only left them in arguments upon arguments and so on.... I then realized that these newbies only go on scouts to search on best REPEATED threads to either interchange or replace them with the hope of getting merited like the original threads.... that's how they keep spamming..

The forum is very open to different opinions and sometimes I laughed at my skull when I see that people that are supposed to be advise and trying to advise other can look very funny and surprising. Just imagine someone that is learning how to ride a bicycle trying to tell other how to go about it.

It can be complicating if the newbie that is now an adviser is aked to give proper explanation with little experience. We don't need to always try harder to look good or knowledgeable when we don't even have any idea about what we are writing. It quite normal of we write to earn merit buy very wrong when we become too desperate and that is when others will come in to criticize us because we don't know what to write. Learning should be our goal whether we are new here or we are old cats.

You are right because when some one is desperate to learn something it will seek all necessary short cut to get it close, a newbie is a newbie it assumed that why they are call a newbie is because they have no idea of anything and it left for them to study and learn exactly what is good and what is bad, if a newbie wants to learn it will look for people in the forum already like five persons and watch carefully of the way they respond to people and follow such step, some don't have any plan in forum that is why they post anything they like, when you think and write nothing will make the person not to write what is meaningful

Newbies should never fear to admit that they need help from other people because it’s the only way that they will be given valuable advices from reputable members. And since this forum is designed to create interactive discussion among members, then all members should reach out to everyone especially for newbies as they need more help and guidance in creating quality posts that will make them relevant in the forum. No need to worry about personal ego, there is no room for that in here, what matters is that everyone is able to learn from the valuable experiences made by reliable and trusted members in the forum.

Yes. Newbies should learn from the experience of others, most especially from legendary positions in the forum as they have more useful experiences that newbies will certainly benefit from them. And the fact that newbies need more help and guidance from their superiors, then they should never do things that will only create consequences of their actions, unless if those will make them learn and correct their mistakes in the future. But still, regardless if they have gained their own experiences in the market, it’s still best to ask some assistance from those who have been here in the market for long because for sure they have more valuable experiences than them.

making a post and replies is a learning process for beginners regardless of whether the post or reply is of high or low quality.
if they are beginners posting something or commenting that is not quite right or not right in your opinion and you are bothered by that then right away you can simply give them directions, criticism or suggestions so that they improve themselves and they know what their mistakes are like.

OP, you are right. A newbie needs to keep in learning and shouldn't post on topics that he doesn't have any knowledge on to avoid the moderator from deleting his post. Newbies are after merits and they fail to understand that merits comes by quality post or good contribution on the topic being discussed at hand.

Although, some newbies are not new to cryptocurrency but they are new in rank,such person will have more knowledge to contribute on a topic than those that are brand newbie. This forum don't have restrictions but reading and learning as a newbie will make your grow fast and you will be recognised in the forum.
