Topic: Newbies are free to choose the journey they will go - page 4. (Read 989 times)
I like how you separate the other 3 from good members. My favorite type of member is the Builder. Someone who creates something, the more innovative and existent on the blockchain the better.
Almost every Newbie is here to earn money through Bounties. Earning in bounties is not that good nowadays therefore they resort to spamming and when they get caught and get banned they would create a new ID to scam other members.
Eventually, they would again get banned. If a newbie is here to learn then they would never think about the bounty first. Their primary goal would be to understand the technology and learn as much as they can.

As beginners they will choose their destination to become a bounty hunter, because what they know is that Bounty will produce more with many projects that can be followed. and some bounty hunters will become spammers who will brutally carry out all bounty tasks.

For sure this kind of decision was only common when there are a lot already using bitcointalk to some campaign of cryptocurrency projects like altcoins who starting their ICO in this forum, but for sure way back 2010 - 2015 maybe, those time is only for Bitcoin knowledge that wants a newbie need, since way back being a bounty hunter is still not so popular.(...)
Everyone has the right to choose their own path in the forum and will never be forced. Being a good member who contributes is a choice and those are things that are highly recommended by the forum and users because that will make us individual who have benefit for the forum and users. There arent many people who want to reward spammer or users who have low quality posts with something like merit and that will prevent them from going up in rank "if their rank is still low".
I would never agree if all those bounty hunter are spammer, because I can also find them as good quality poster that also contribute. But many of the bounty hunter are spammer who in turn are those who post lots of low quality and useless thing. Theres nothing good besides contributing and obeying forum rules, and being a spammer will only make the forum full of junk.

I wouldn't put bounty hunters & spammers in the same pool with scammers. I would expect very new members to believe BitcoinTalk is a literal job and a way to get a Bitcoin in no time, just as I probably thought when I first registered on here. Even for older bounty hunters the reason why they aren't seen as normal/good members on here is still a question mark.
There are some unwritten "rules" of being accepted in this community as a good member, such as having to read at least a part of the replies before actually replying to the thread. Many members expect that. I bet a lot of the newbies don't even read OPs besides the title, let alone all the other replies to know what's been said yet and what hasn't. This is something even I had an issue with for a long time.
Guess it all goes down to the way each member spends their time on here. If one spends most of their time truly interested in replying to others and actively participating in the forum, they'll be seen as a "good member". I don't mind someone desperately looking for more and more bounties unless they literally throw their shitposts everywhere and fill up the forum with nonsense.

I rarely see someone really new on this forum, even rarer to find a new guy who acts like a normal member to learn about Bitcoin. Most of the newbie on this forum is not really new, they are newbie because they did not earn one merit, but they have been too old in this space for a long time, or with a lot of accounts.
Newbies are not really participating in the bounty campaign, instead, they will ask a few questions about how to make money, activities, ... and not posting the correct section. Also not appear in the bitcoin discussion section for spam
I also think that bounty hunters and scammers are often the same, they go the same way, they cheat

The choice is indeed in their hands. But being a good member will have a more positive impact to be able to achieve a high Rank and be able to participate in the BTC Signature Campaign which has more potential to pay consistently. At the moment I am also focused on developing my account and becoming a good and useful member of this forum.

As a newbies, you have to choose the journey you want to go:
- Bounty hunters
- Spammers
- Scammers
- Good members.
Spam is usually a direct result of the first; bounty hunting especially when it's done with no regard for the forum; enlisting multiple accounts and posting simply to fulfil your post count can cause a serious spam problem as is seen in some boards. - Bounty hunters
- Spammers
- Scammers
- Good members.
The position one takes is really down to how the forum was presented to them when they learnt about it and also how much they are willing to read and gain knowledge.
• If one is sold the idea that the forum is a gold mine for easy cash, and by joining an ICO bounty campaign one can get a token that will go ×10 when listed, they will likely focus on bounties and could get lost in those sections.
• if a user who has an interest in reading and learning is sold the same idea, they could start off as a bounty spammer, but after gaining a little knowledge about the forum and Bitcoin, they'll likely want to learn more, this will expose them to more boards and they will eventually start contributing quality content.
Forum members would likely transition through various stages. Scammers however, could be bounty hunters, spammers or even high quality posters, and are usually unrepentant.

I don't think that new members explicitly choose to be spammers or bounty hunters instead of being good members, and as for scammers, those people aren't actually newbies, they probably have dozens of other accounts, some maybe even with higher ranks.
Some users who started as shitposters eventually changed their ways and became very valuable users, this is because when you posts are good, they will get merited without people going through your post history to check if you are worthy.

You shouldn't encourage newbies to earn merit via creating educational topic posts, because they are newbies, they will often fail to do so properly and will only introduce misconceptions.
if they choose the fourth -good member- and not having the enthusiasm to spare head it, can leave them in the remaining three especially the second -spammers-
In a short summary, -newbies- work and the rest is history

Well, you are right and as I have observed recently, most newbies are spammers they are spam their referral links in the forum and using different accounts to post on the topic aside from the OP. They deserve to get a reward, all of them have been nuked.
Perhaps there are additional options aside from what you gave in the newbie's journey, --[1] -Fraud victim asking for help and [2] -For business purpose establishing ANN thread. Not all newbies are here just to be a good member, there are various reasons why they are here and indeed, the most common reason was already you have stated.
Indeed, a very good post of yours!

I used to be a newbie and my age is not too old on the forum. I registered the account on April 28, 2019 and my first forum-versary is 3 months ago.
You will not read if I write something too long as tl;dr so I will write it too short for you.
As a newbies, you have to choose the journey you want to go:

There is nothing needed to say if you choose the first three. If you fortunately and bravely to choose the last one, and want to go as good members the next thing you have to do is choosing the area you have interests in. It is important because you will more easily spend more time for that, and you will feel more comfortable to do so. It is your interests so your works with it will bring lots of fun back to you.
I chose to focus my time on the forum with security and privacy and wallet's features and usages. You can see it in my first thread I created to ask about Brave browser - What's wrong with Brave browser?. Unfortunately, because of privacy problems I stopped using the browser months ago.
