Topic: How to be more visible in the forum as a beginner (Read 564 times)

That's true but most of the times those newbies aren't newbies in real but the ones with alt accounts who want to earn extra money having multiple ranked accounts.

There are many account farmers who always try to rank up their accounts so they can start earning from this forum.

I know some newbies are also referred to this forum by the ones who are ranked members but in most cases those newbies are alt accounts that want to earn merits in short time.

That's a great advice for everyone, and I agree that no one is perfect and everyone has to learn something new from those who already know that thing.

Rank can be helpful to start earning from signature campaigns but it's not a sign of someone's extra knowledge.

In some cases the newbies can also teach high ranked members some valuable things, and that's why one should always look for learning new things instead of thinking about ranking up.

I have make a genuine font to this particular post before because it is necessary for me to understand the situation that will make us to be well known in any platform that we found ourselves especially anything that deals with online, so making yourself famous and known for this community you have to make sure that you have a good insight and they also be innovative to the community because this community need something that is unique so that other people will learn and they acquire the knowledge from you so therefore making yourself to be known this based on your intellectual response to the community that can yield a good result

You’re right. Beginners should focus more on maximizing their knowledge first through patiently reading and exploring the different boards in the forum. I know it takes time but it’s certainly worth all the reading and understanding at first, because as a beginner, you have to establish your foundation at first before trying to set another goal. Now, when you think you are knowledgeable and quite experienced on the different boards, I believe it will be easier then for you to attract merits because of your high knowledge to create meaningful and high quality posts regardless of any boards in the forum.

A newbie knows nothing about the forum therefore he or she cannot make any meaningful contribution to the reputation board which is almost like the court of law of the forum. There are exceptions to this when a newbie has a question to ask and is related to the reputation and all.

I also agree that since the loan section requires that the use attains some level of trust and other requirements, making a post there in request for a loan or giving a loan should be avoided. The beginner can go through the threads in that board to get an understanding of what happens there.

I do not agree with this one. The Meta board has topics that is opened for contribution by beginners and they can also air their opinions on topics there that they think is appropriate for them to reply on. But them they shouldn't make it a habit of posting there because older members of the forum will smell something fishy.

Anyone including beginners can post development and technical discussion, project development. Some beginners are just beginners on the forum and not to cryptocurrency, bitcoin, blockchain. Like some of them are high technical and are have advanced expertise in this area.

In one of the scam threads I read lately, a beginner opened an account just to seek for help in relation to a scam by one of the casinos. He was seeking for help. Beginners can also post here too and contribute.

Newbies focus on the merits so they can stop being newbies. But rank is not a complete identity of knowledge and skills. You can be a legendary and still be a beginner in some areas. And this is absolutely normal. I think the main thing you should focus on is not think that you already know everything you can and no one will teach you anything new. You have to accept that there will always be something you don't know, and there will always be people who can teach you something.

Let me tell you, newbies, who have found this forum themselves either through Google or any other source when they were looking for some information and stumbled upon this forum coincidentally, they wouldn't come here and make their first post asking about merits or how they can rank up because they didn't come to this forum for that in the first place but their motive behind it was to learn something or maybe read a post that they found on Google when doing some research.

However, newbies who are referred to this forum by someone else and have been told that they can earn money from here if they have a higher rank and to get a higher rank, they would now require merits, they come here and start asking about Merit immediately after creating an account because all they care about is ranking up so that they can start earning money.

This is the actual reason behind it as far as I understand it.

There are newbies who have known about Bitcoin for a long time before they created an account on this forum, but if the beginner is also a newcomer to the Bitcoin network, just as they are to the forum, there is no way they can contribute to discussions concerning the technical aspects of Bitcoin, and if they try to, it would most likely be spamming. It is good for newbies to visit the technical boards, but only to read and ask questions, after sometime they would build up their own knowledge and be able to contribute and help others.

I believe a beginner should not focus on merits at all at least for a few weeks. If I'm not wrong then those who are new on this forum may not know the merit based system, however the ones who pretend to be new may have knowledge regarding the merit based system.

In my eyes, a newbie should focus more on learning then on gaining merits or recognition. Overtime when they learn things properly and apply that knowledge when they create posts, then they automatically get merits for their posts.

Unfortunately, you will see people engaging in bounty to make money. We want to make money as soon as possible. I guess some people would try making money without even creating a forum account if they can. Unfortunately, guest posting is not possible anymore. Newbies should not focus on earning merits first. They should try to learn things and get used to the forum first.

I am talking from my own experience. There was a time when I was desperately posting for merits but I end up posting shit. Then I started paying attention on posting things comes from my heart and not for money only. Newbies should try to be used to with the forum by spending time and exploring the forum first.

They can post naturally for their interest in any board but if they fortunately choose to start with boards where people discuss highly educational, technical and helpful, they will have more chances to get merit.

If they pick wrong boards like bounties or altcoin boards that are mostly spam, they will have less chance to receive merit. When they realize that, they can check and change themselves. Boards have most active merit circulation are most educational and helpful boards in the forum. Those boards are most helpful for newbies to learn and grow up themselves.

Yes, I agree, the newbies always want to target those boards which are not so tough for them and that's why it's not possible to stop them from posting at such boards. The forum allows them so we also should not worry much about those newbies.

I believe that if they continue posting in non relevant boards then it would be hard for them to learn about Bitcoin. In order to learn Bitcoin properly, they have to visit the boards where information about Bitcoin is discussed, and those boards really help out newbies.

Basically I'm of the same opinion here but what I usually advise my fellow newbies; is nothing (thread/discussion) is too difficult to understand or converse on but it's mostly depends on your decision whether to dedicate your time into learning.

Most things that are being discussed here in the forum are just mere experiences that has been encountered along the line in the years and time spent here, so one can easily, practice using most of the technological tools and informations shared in the so called discussion hence gather enough experience to share during the time of discussion in this threads.

So I believe if we do more research and practice more we can virtually contribute extensively on any discussions. Even the most popular website learn-me-a-bitcoin has so much details that one can comprehend fast can follow up with discussions, I some time ago just too my time to watch a thread which I was interested in and after much observation i took an opportunity to correct somone and join the discussion immediately hence i became very much acquainted with the informations there. So it's virtually not too difficult as perceived by OP and other newbies like me.

You can’t stop these newbies from posting into that board if they feel they have serious information to share, most especially if they have seen that most of the posters there are not knowledgeable enough. However, if they are also incapable to make their post meaningful just like others, then it’s better to stay off from that certain board.

There are actually a lot of boards good for discussion, but it greatly depends on how far they will be able to understand those threads in that boards, otherwise they will only come out spamming in the forum.

Yes, some may still own newbie position but that doesn't mean that they are still new in the market, or their knowledge about crypto is limited. And their posts in the forum proves it as they can also be as knowledgeable as other long time forum members. Hence, this is just the same that newbies these days will not limit their posts in certain boards, but as long as they have something relevant to say, they will make it as their asset so they will be noticed in the forum. Something that OP may have misunderstood because in reality, newbies may only be visible in the forum the moment they start contributing for the benefit of other members, even if these certain boards suggested by OP are not posted.

Just  to put it out there not every newbie is a beginner, I have read some interesting write-ups from beginners on the forum and being noticed(visible) is about staying on board's you all more comfortable and knowledgeable about and interactions with like minded users comes naturally without breaking a sweat...btw for as long as a user  also avoids mega threads chances are high of standing out.

Oh and just a heads up, if you are going to be so desperate to the point of using Ai to write content, chances are that you won't survive being on the forum for a long time.. AFAIK the secret is to be as natural as you can and in no time merit will follow and ranking up follows..

Btw, the more a user contributes to technical threads/topics the easier it is to be noticed, what you do with this information is up to you 

and many beginner accounts are able to discuss better than those who have been around for a long time and are seniors in this forum. But maybe there are only a few beginners and they are able to develop their account quite well and it is easy to level up. Now don't just look at whether he is a beginner or not, but what he discusses and explains is something important or not. but there are also many beginners who only use Ai to create threads and such.

You can’t actually guarantee one’s position in the forum and tell that he’s more intelligent and knowledgeable than the other. Most newbies that have entered in the forum these days have come more prepared and that they have stock information already about bitcoin and the crypto space prior to their forum entrance. So you can’t stop these people from posting on different boards which they find it more interesting to discuss, most especially if it becomes a hot topic in the forum.

I have seen so many newbie account who tend to have broad and well acquainted knowledge on Bitcoin and even involved themselves active in some discussion here but there is one stigma that has been tag to almost all newbie and that's because of the behaved of some of these newbies as they are frequently known for the low contribution and even some of them refusal to learn here in the community.

in forums, the most important thing is ethics, when you have extensive knowledge, as much as possible don't be arrogant and arrogant with the opinions of other members, build your reputation first and then make dictated posts, the influence of seniority will also always be inherent in the forum, this can't be removed

as I said above, recognition will come naturally when you make posts that are consistently constructive and also have an impact on other members, because usually people who are arrogant and arrogant will only end up with bad recognition, you have to build your reputation slowly

How long should a newbie wait before making posts he is knowledgeable on?
This forum is free for all to learn from each other. Legendary members can actually learn from newbies too, newbies will not grow if they are restricted from expressing themselves well. No section of the forum rules restricts a newbie from making posts in certain boards, as long as they do not go against the rules. Its is normal for a newbie to make posts in Bitcoin board, economy, local board, and other boards whose knowledge in them can be gotten from other sources aside the Bitcointalk forum. But, once a newbie begins to make posts on technical issues about the forum, he/she is a suspect and should be treated as one.
