Constructive criticism is a pathway to growth in any space of life and in this forum, I became all that I am through the constructive criticism/corrections from other users no matter who there are either a newbie or legendary members as long as the point is valid I always appreciate them and work on it. In this forum and the outside world, one needs to build a thick skin to be able to absorb and accommodate critics build on it to become solidified in the field, and in no time those noticeable mistakes of the past become your building ground for growth and you too can become helpful to others that make similar mistakes in the future.

A lot of work goes into planning, researching, and writing good posts. So, I can understand why newbies get all worked up about the criticism and feedback their posts may attract. I believe that each individual has a unique way of reacting to criticism. For example, some may act defensive, offended, show appreciation or just totally ignore the criticism or feedback.

Before I share my four (4) tips on how I handle criticism or feedback on Bitcointalk talk, let me echo the popular advice given to newbies in the forum. I'd quote Mr.right85 because I love how he puts it.

Be open to criticism
Every perfect system is often one that has been tested by series of criticism and when they don't break you, they make you. In your need to be better, never expect only kind words from most persons or anyone, its the first step to disappointment and brokenness. On this, I say you should grow a thick skin like THE PHARMACIST and LOVESMAYFAMILIS would say and instead of being bittered, learn to utilise and apply them to be better.

Below are my four (4) tips on how I handle criticism or feedback on Bitcointalk Forum.

1) Provide a little bit of context
I try to give additional information or offer a relatable perspective when I observe that the critic or user providing the feedback has misunderstood me.

2) Research on key points
I carry out a research on the key points raised by the critic especially when I observe that the criticism or feedback given shows that the individual has domain expertise.

3) Rewrite and Revise
If my research proves that the points raised are valid, I either rewrite or revise the topic from top to bottom. This time, I focus on the key points. After which, I upload the file to a private folder on Google drive.

4) Ignore Button
If I notice that the user is just trying to humiliate or embarrass me for no just reason I put them in my ignore list.
