I hate to piss on your party mate but, is this really a thing? If I is, of what value does it do the forum becuase, there is literally no bone of contentment in your thread as I see it now.pershape if it were to be some information on how making a first post made you feel or perhaps some other contributions that could aid newbies and perhaps provide some encouragement not to be scared of making contributions, it could have been better.

As it is now, its just empty to me and of little or no value. I just breezed in quickly to for a review on what DdmrDdmr's first thread was like and it talked about his experience with ICOs and then I took a stroll through mine and it was very brief though, it had it's team set on understanding why bitcoin has got such slow growth, why so many people are familiar with the term but it still seemed as though, it was for a selected few. There was a time too, I checked on Darkstars's first thread and it was about lending of cryptos, more of rendering a service by the way.

Why am I bringing this up, I know it's often not so easy here as a beginner but that's because, you've termed it so #Difficult. Reading is good but don't be scared to make contributions and if you must contribute, make it count. Which ever way you want to put it, it should be taxed at performing some function. Either passing some information, helping someone and stuff like that.  Make it count.

Out of curiosity, I’ve just taken a look at the first thread I created, and of all places, it was in Altcoin Discussion, amidst the ICO Hype. So were the second and third threads I created. I was actually very curious about the whole matter at the time, and new to it all. After a brief time of wading around the different forum boards, I shifted my focus of interest.

What I mean by the above is that it takes a while to explore and discern your areas of interest, and there is indeed a fair share of reading to be done, both on the forum and through external resources that provide a more linear explanation (i.e. books).

Ask when you need to ask and express your opinion at will, but getting some ground basics goes a long way.

You shouldn't necessarily be obsessed, mostly people just need to know that plagiarism is a huge offense here(rightfully so, because of spammers). Along with that, just don't do anything stupid and shady and you're pretty much good.

You are not the only one!  

As far as I can see, BitcoinTalk's forum is not radically different from other online communities. I don't understand why some newcomers are obsessed with forum rules?
Respecting each other and respecting differing opinions is the most important principle of any social community.

Google is your guide, if you have something to ask or you faced some problem while in here or you don't understand something, try to use google first before making a post here. Everything that is forum related questions, you can make a thread on meta boards or just here in Beginners & Help it will be move to meta if necessary though.

Welcome aboard! ^^

I'm a new member of Bitcointalk. Since I joined the forum I have been taking my time to study the rules and the system of the forum, so that I can have a better understanding about everything  in the forum. My little time have spent reading topics in the forum is not enough. There are a lot of things for me to know , and if I keep making only research and reading of post it will take me months. I also need to drop a post as I make research so as to get understanding from the contribution of old member who have been here before me.
My presence in this forum is one of the greatest thing to me, because I know after sometime  things I'll learn here will change and add value to me.
