Topic: Enjoy being a newbie - page 3. (Read 920 times)

there are some members who don't care about their ranking in this forum but they get a lot of merit so they move up the rankings without pressure, I really salute them. for newbie, if your goal in creating an account on this forum is only to get Bitcoin, then you have to throw away that expectation immediately because it's not that easy to get it if your account is still a newbie. just look at what members who can't wait to get ranked are doing, the quality of their posts is really messed up, they're just making their account's reputation bad.

Lovesmafamilis discovered this long ago, in her words she says "They are newbies who pretend to be more intelligent than they are"
This is not good for any newbie, whether in the short or long run

The plagerism aspect could also be because of what is said above. But for newbie dumping their thread, it is something common among newbies including myself when I was a newbie. When conversations spans upto 5 pages, a genuine newbie who doesn't know how to quote will find it difficult to involve in the conversation.

This will either drag unnecessary eyes to the newbie or send them to ignore lists.

Where do you have so much confidence in your conclusions? Look at your registration date and also look at mine. How are you different from me? Could it be that you are misusing the forum? Have you seen the mark on your trust? Do you still consider yourself a beginner? And of course, the conclusion that older members will be unfair to newbies is completely wrong if you genuinely communicate with people on the forum without using multiple accounts, plagiarism, or anything else that the forum frowns on. I was hoping you could show me a newbie who was insulted here for his interest in Bitcoin.

If a user is not too agitated with how he will rank up in the forum, he won't be bothered by the time of being here.
Because reading thread after thread will be very helpful for a crypto user to learn a lot of things.
So ranking up is just a bonus. Also, it may be hard these days to rank up because of the merit system, but if you enjoy being a member here,
the time spent in this forum may be very useful for you because you will get pointers and insights that are not available in other sites.

His opinion may not define his future in the forum, he's actually responding to what he has received in the forum. Yes, it's true, but isn't it enjoyable on the long run? When you look back and remember those days of criticisms from high ranked members you'd laugh about it. The forum is not against such criticism, members can say anything as long as it tallies with the aim of the thread. I'm beginning to see less of those responses. don't know if it's only newbies that get to see them in the forum. Yet saying that knowledge sharing is less, phonakAG, is a wrong statement. It's impossible to see an opinion that gets more than two critic response from top ranked members. Others will still share their opinion with the newbie and encourage him to improve. The issue most time is that newbies try to move faster than they should. Thereby, making blunders that will ignite being mocked by other members. I'd also use this opportunity to say, you should hang on, soon those responses won't be appearing on your screen anymore. The fun part of it, remains that high rank members don't mean to criticize your opinion. The truth is that they use it as a way to laugh and feel a bit happy. As though it's always funny to come across those responses, especially when it's directed to somebody else. No one would be happy to see it directed to them. As a newbie if you have the right response that is reasonably funny, you can send them back to the critic. Don't take them to heart, it's just a forum itch.

There are various kinds of newbies on this forum. And when we visit this board, we can see how many newbie accounts come to say hello, talk about their desire to develop, and so on. develop themselves? Maybe we don't know, maybe they have really learned and gone through the process, it's just that they haven't been able to express it well in this forum.

Or it could be that there are some people who are enthusiastic at the start, then change easily, especially if there is disturbance. Not only that, when they feel complicated with this forum, we can often find newbie accounts that don't develop and are just abandoned. One of the reasons is because they cannot develop. even though their inability to develop is because of how they manage their position in this forum. {Even though there are many ways to stay and develop here. It's even explained in great detail, which should be a good lesson for them, but not all newbies want to go through it. So, consistency in carrying out each process in this forum must be maintained.

Newbies - Read before posting

This topic covers basically everything a newbie should know before joining this community.

First off, learn the ins and outs of this forum before diving in.  The rules are like golden guidelines around here - know them well.  After that, take some time to explore different threads.  When you feel like you have got a handle on things, speak up where you have something to say.  Ask questions too - most folks are usually helpful and  oh and dont just spam post after post.  Better to really think through what you write.  Quality over quantity and all that. If you have a specific question about anything, feel free to ask.

I don't think there is any time duration to this rank, because some people that stumble on this forum from the onset really get confused on what to do. So it now depends how are want to learn here and even be part of the discussion to share your insight and thats what most people fail to learn on time as most people just get the impression that the more you create thread the more you are chanced to grow which to some extent is false.

This is not true, don't make it feels like that when it is not, old members get frowned at newbies stupidity and not the newbies, themselves, if you know what you're doing, you will always have better edge from here henceforth and no one will harrass you for doing the right thing or saying it, but it stinks when you discover that some are taking their personal way of life into this forum and such may not be accepted as long as they are not in line with the forum standard.

How do you become a beginner here properly and correctly?
I'm still messing around with the rules of this forum, and how can I make it better?

Being discouraged and not being respected will of course have a reason for this treatment. But it won't be done completely without reason because you are just a beginner. there are many beginners who also get full appreciation from high ranking members for their good knowledge and not being too hypocritical. Saying this forum is not beginner friendly means you still don't have enough metal to face what's even worse, this is only the beginning friends, you still have a long way to go, because if you take it for granted you give up, that's wrong.

Unfortunately, this forum is not "newbie-friendly".

I am very sorry to say that, but High ranked members usually mock or disrespect if a newbie raises an opinion.
This way new members get discouraged to participate, and of course this means that knowledge sharing might be less as well...

On some occasions, newbies in the forum might have sound knowledge about Bitcoin from personal studies or other forums. But apart from this situation, newbies are meant to behave like children in the forum. They should be free to ask questions, make mistakes and enjoy their childhood. It will be strange to see my children act like adults that is why most newbies are suspected not to be newcomers. If my child starts behaving like an adult, I will be concerned that something is wrong somewhere. My advice to newbies is that they should focus on learning and not try to impress anybody. They need time to understand the forum so that they will know how to present posts. Just like children, they should enjoy this stage because their mistakes and ignorance can be tolerated.

You don't need any further corrections because you can find them in the thread. If you carefully go through the contributions of members in that thread and apply them, your post quality will increase.     

This is your opinion and I respect it, but it's only accurate to an extent. The fact that a person is a newbie on this forum doesn't mean he's a newbie in Bitcoin. There are people who are very good traders and have a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin who are not on the forum. So if we limit the sharing of knowledge through topics to only old members on the forum, I feel like we will be missing out on what that fellow has to offer.

We're all here to learn and what's the point of we can't learn from people with lower ranks than us? A thing I've always liked about this forum is the fact that it has a ranking system but that doesn't affect the flow of knowledge.
It only becomes a problem when a newbie is teaching or trying to educate others on stuff about the forum, like how to use the forum.

Some never had the chance of experiencing what it takes to be a newbie, talking about those ones who buy account, they don't like stress and they feeling getting to the top doesn't need hard work. Newbie is the easiest rank to move out from like you said but being active is another thing to consider, some members find it hard to stay online to leave that rank. Seriously there's nothing to enjoy being a newbie.

For the beginning of Bitcoin forum journey as a new way is not that easy. Don't know what is crypto don't know how to do good quality post don't know how to impress people and don't know how to give a good quality reply post. At the beginning we have to learn a lot do many type of thesis about crypto. Read articles watch post. After that we gain some experience and starting post that is that much not good quality just average. I am a newbie and I don't do good quality post. I face a lot of problem for doing post mainly the grammatical problem I am student of class 11 I do work here beside my study. And I try to improve a lot hopefully soon I will be a good quality poster.

You are very right because most times I feel like creating a post but I will be scared and reluctant because I am an infant I the forum so I rather prefer to read intelligent post from high ranked members and hoping to grow like them soon.

Just like you said that there is no need rushing the process , when I joined the forum , I did not even know where to start , I was committed to reading posts and the styles of writing here , At a point I was discouraged and I even feel like leaving the forum but I realised that patience and perseverance are core factors that can pave a way to success. Currently I love the forum because any day I go through a post I learn a lot about bitcoin and cryptocurrency because the discussion here is  educating .

Initially I have no knowledge about bitcoin and and cryptocurrency but since I join the forum I started getting  ideas and good knowledge about bitcoin and that has actually made me to read constantly on every post that i come across on the forum .

I think even in the forum of BitcoinTalk, a person is here he will definitely learn something even if he is not doing anything but just saw other people talking and their posts and their problem's answers etc. He is getting the right knowledge. Even we have seen just like other platforms or apps like twitter and Facebook, users are using it for a long time and they didn't do anything but just they only see other people posts and tweets etc. through which they are getting information. So, we are also getting information through the BitcoinTalk and sometimes it is very useful even.

Even if a person has low rank like newbie he still can take benefit from BitcoinTalk.

Newbie is not a rank one should stay in for long time, it's the shortest duration of rank on the forum if the newbie is active and knows what he's doing, we were all once a newbie and started like one sometime ago, such had been a ladder for us to where we are now, it may never had been easy in the past but when we give it every necessary efforts demanded, it will be our own pride later to have overcome the challenges of being a newbie.

They lack awareness of the forum rules because they just visited the discussion and thought that they could do better than this post so they copypaste topics coming from outside this forum and think that they will do great and they cannot keep up with the flow of the conversation because they do not have knowledge on things that they posted because it comes from copy-pasting.

This is the fate of newbies who are not aware of the rules and what they should avoid and so many newbies fall into this, these are two kinds of newbies here, the other one is they only care about bounty they disregard that this platform is a discussion forum of everything related to Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency.
