Good day/evening everyone. I'm Silent26. I'm just a simple Member of this Forum and always sticks to the rules. I'm here to tell you something. Hmm let me starts with this.
I've noticed that our Forum starts to suffer from Newbies/Newcomers problems as they always ask a certain question repeatedly. Their common questions are "what is bitcoin?", "how to earn bitcoin?" etc. and the recently most asked by too many new members/Newbies is "What is Merit/Merit System and how to get Merit?".
I decided to create this thread to give some idea to our Admin and to our Moderators to Improve our Forum from these kind of "
Newbie Problems".
As we can see, asking questions about Merits is now strictly prohibited as it was already asked dozen of times and a member who ask about it will be given a punishment, and it is "banning their account". It is because our Forum's Staffs Declared that anyone who ask questions about merit system will be banned or reported as a spammer. It is also because these Newbies can't even try to search for the answers they were looking for by their own.
But what if these Newbies really don't know how our System works? What if they really don't know what to do first and they didn't even know that posting about merit is prohibited? Do we need to be mad at them or we should help them to enlighten them? Honestly what do you prefer?
I came up to this Idea. When creating a new account. The existing system works as this
Register>>Enter Email, and Password>>Login.
And after logging in, the user will be directed in the home page of the Forum.
I have suggestion/proposal about improving our Forum, it will not change any of the existing process of the system for registering new account. I just want this idea to be added (I'm just suggesting) . Here is my idea.
Like what I said, when a account is successfully created, the user is only directed to the home/main page of the Forum and it's up to them what to do because there is no any guide.
What if? After a successful registration, the user will be directed to a certain thread that contains all information that a newbie must know.
For example is a thread that contains all of the rules of this forum, some basic information about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and information about Merit Systems. I know this is "spoon feeding" because if they really want to gain knowledge they must conduct research by their own. But, if we implemented this idea and still, they didn't follow the rules.
The account will be permanently banned. If you guys didn't want the idea of directing the user to a thread, a message or a bot message will be fine too. Whenever there is a new account created, a bot will automatically sends PM to the new account containing all of the information that newbie must know (just like what I said above).
In the rules, there must be a huge message with
BOLD text style saying
"IF YOU VIOLATE ANY OF THESE RULES, YOU WILL BE PERMANENTLY BANNED FROM THIS FORUM" something like that because there is a possibility that the user will be forced to read the entire thread/message to prevent violating any of the rules.
And one more thing (this is optional), I also suggest that, there should be some volunteered members who will guide these newbies. After reading the entire thread or message and clicking button, (lets assume) "I AGREED" button the newbie will be directed to another thread titled "Beginners guide" or something where they can ask questions, but every post made in this thread is not counted as a post. Although a user posted so many questions in this thread, it will not be added as "post" count in their account.
This only requires:-Collection of information that a Newbies must know.
-The list of our Forum's rules.
-Information about Merit System.
-Some Trusted or Volunteer Members to guide Newbies (optional)
-Time.
Goal -To somehow eliminate "Newbies problem" .
-To prevent Newbies from creating threads that has been created multiple times.
-To educate Newbies with some basic informations.
-To enlighten Newbies how our system works and what rules to follow.
Scope and Limitations-This idea is for accounts that will be made in the future.
-Its limitation is, It didn't include accounts that already been created and also farmed accounts.
I've been thinking of this all the time and came up to this idea
I still need your suggestions about this Idea. This is also just my suggestion hehe. What do you think guys?
To staffs, please delete this thread if I violate any rules. But as far as I know I'm not violating any rules. Thanks.
Leave your suggestions guys
