Topic: Encouragement and lesson learnt (Read 392 times)

When I first joined, I was afraid to write a piece. I am afraid to reply to other people's writings with my opinion. But after some time it disappeared because this forum was open. This means that there are many facts, opinions and evidence provided. So it's a bit difficult to get started, but if you don't start then it will never work. So everyone has equal rights and obligations towards the forum, we must respect each other.

No human being is always right, so no human being is perfect without criticism. People who thrive on criticism will feel better, so don't be anti-critical. We must be able to accept criticism for our progress.

It's good to see a newbie trying to get better on the forum, most newbies even when you correct them they don't learn and they never grow either.

I have been corrected in a harsh manner from a few members on the forum and one even took it too far, I felt really bad on that day, but I summon my courage and tried to learn from my mistake, I saw the insult as a necessity to bring a change.

Some people will easily get discouraged, because of insults or harsh ways that people on here are trying to use to correct some newbies, they are discouraged because they are weak, do not give up.

This forum was created for people to learn, share ideas and make useful contributions in regards to Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency in general. When I started this journey earlier this year actually it was a friend that introduced me to bitcointalk, but it reached to a point I wanted to be discouraged but I got encouragement from some senior here whose advise came from a particular thread that we as newbies should understand a particular topic before contributing or make our opinion known on such topic.
The first thing I did was to understand the rules and regulations that governs the forum and abide by it, to an extent am being use to what is happening here and more, and I believe that in no distant time my contributions will be so enormous in this forum, this will be the fate of every other newbie that is hardworking and also all this will be achievable by encouragement from our senior colleagues it can be through several process,not necessarily meriting.

Criticism: there are constructive criticism that tends to correct a newbie by setting him or her in the right direction. using myself as an example, I was corrected by one of our senior colleagues here on the need to use punctuation marks where necessary in all my writeup since then I have been very careful in other to avoid the repeatation of such in future.
We newcomers should know that our time and continues stay in this forum depends on us and we have to cultivate the habit of learning and making prestigious use of our time here by making more detailed research of what we don't know before bringing it to this forum and also where we don't understand we ask question so that people that know more than us can put us through.

I think if their is no criticism in the forum people won't take corrections from wrong doings, people would want to do things the way they like and not in the right way. The advantage of criticism in this forum is to make members conscious to do things the right way, criticism may sound insulting and disrespectful but it will be better people just get used to it because it is impossible it doesn't exist, it also plays a role no matter how bad it may seems.

As a human being, you should be open to Criticism, because those are the rituals you go through as you grow up, don't opposed admonishment too hard, look at the positive side of it, and it will help you.

Encouragement is one of the ingredient you need to galvanize your thoughts into contributing meaningfully to the forum.

Critique is never what should shut up anybody up on the internet, but some people are so naive, even on the internet, that on telling them a little "shut up," they will remain quite, maybe until you ask them Waxup? But here on the forum, no one cares about how you feel if you are criticized or insulted. No one will even care to ask about you if you decide to leave. On this forum, if you decide to remain quiet, it would take no long time for people to forget about you, so you must be productive in the ideas you share, and when you get insulted, just shrug it off and move on.

When you start out, you are a Newbie, and you will run into various annoying limits. These limits will be reduced to the point where you shouldn't usually notice them after you have participated in the forum for a few weeks. If you are on the forum to talk, then that's all you really need to know about rank. Don't worry about it too much, and you will eventually rank up.

If you want to maximize your rank, then you need to increase two statistics which are listed on your profile:

• Activity, which is maximized by posting once per day on average. Posting more than that is useless in raising your activity.
• Merit, which is gained by making good posts.

If you make ten thousand posts in a week, your activity will be capped and you will still be a Newbie. If you make ten thousand useless posts over any period of time, you will gain zero merit and you will still be a Newbie. You can rank up only by making good posts consistently. It's quality over quantity.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.

Criticism: there are constructive criticism that tends to correct a newbie by setting him or her in the right direction. using myself as an example, I was corrected by one of our senior colleagues here on the need to use punctuation marks where necessary in all my writeup since then I have been very careful in other to avoid the repeatation of such in future.

I don't think you should bother to much about how Senior members react to your post or should you be bother about giving advice for now, you because you say all that on your post doesn't mean you would do it, I think newbies are pushing the wrong effort by making this sort of post, it's unnecessarily and sounds unreal.

The stage is already set for you to go for everything you want on this forum you don't need to tell us this, just start doing your very best to see you have a very productive stay on the forum, this should be your priority, build and improve yourself first before giving advice.

Many seniors and friends from your country have good knowledge about forums. Not only you, I also learned a lot from seniors from your country of origin until now.
I think you are in the right environment. Just like me who is very lucky to have seniors and an environment that cares so much about my progress.

I almost gave up when the merit system was implemented.
But on the basis of encouragement and motivation that continues to be given by them to make me active again.
From my experience here, many newbies give up when something they want to achieve is difficult to achieve.
Suggestions or criticisms given to you regarding punctuation, understanding the rules and so on are very valuable things.

OP. If one day you achieve what is your goal, don't stay silent and teach those who need direction and guidance like you have been supported by seniors.

 using myself as an example, I was corrected by one of our senior colleagues here on the need to use punctuation marks where necessary in all my writeup since then I have been very careful in other to avoid the repeatation of such in future.
