Normally everyone will feel bad at first whenever they are being criticized, especially when the criticism is not a constructive one. It will only take people with a better understanding to know that criticism is part of the learning process. When I was a newbie I was criticized for many times but instead of allowing the criticism to be a source of discouragement, I turned them into my strength and keep pushing forward and those criticism helped me grow and I took corrections.

An expert comes from a beginner. So I think an expert was once treated the same way. Even me too, and I'm sure all the beginners here have experienced that. I think it doesn't matter, as an open person we should be able to manage emotions when getting advice. In addition, we also have to understand that the delivery of criticism sometimes looks unfriendly. But this is a forum, we only read and may never meet. Language and writing style also matter. So the best thing is to think positively about any criticism given by other users and continue to make continuous improvements.

In a forum like this where so many intellects are contributing to a particular discussion there is always a room for criticism and the ability for you as newbie to absorb it as a learning process makes you unique and smart . For me Criticism is a process of learning because when ever I am been criticised I usually seize the opportunity to add more knowledge because I often see it as a corrective measures to widen my horizon .

Additionally, I will sincerely advice all the newbies who are quick to anger or discouraged when their post are been criticised to see it as a means of learning and not to react rudely because mistake brings correction .

Here is an open community, and everybody will say what is on their mind regardless of their rank. The issue of criticising is not happening to only newbies. The reason newbies take it personally is because they get discouraged and think the high-ranking members are criticising them. Some of them are not ready to learn; they should know that before they write something to present here, they should keep in mind that they will be criticised. Therefore, what will discourage them? This is all part of learning, in my opinion. Before someone gets what they want, there’s a challenge, so newbies who take criticism as a big deal should not do that; they should take it as a challenge in their learning process.

Furthermore, all the criticism I’m seeing on the forum is all about corrections. Members are trying to correct each other's mistakes by criticizing their posts so that they will easily understand that they made a mistake in what they posted, which is not a big deal if a criticism is of good quality and very constructive and meaningful. I don’t think it will make a newbie or any other person here feel bad given the fact that this is a learning community and we should expect many obstacles.

There is nothing to feel bad about if the post is criticized. Criticizing your post means you can easily catch your mistakes by others. If no one had pointed out your mistakes in the new situation, you would have made these common mistakes later and always but these common mistakes would not have been good for you at all. In the new situation, it may happen that if a member makes a mistake, he may feel bad about himself, but he cannot be made to feel bad. It will be good for you to correct the mistakes you have made without feeling bad and to avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.

Criticism, for as long as it is constructive, should always be welcome, and not just by newbies but by everybody else regardless of rank. Rank doesn't matter. What matters is knowledge. And when it comes to knowledge, a newbie can have more of it than a legendary like myself.

But I prefer correction rather than criticism, a humble or gentle correction preferably. One can correct without insulting, without condescending remarks. Corrections done for the sake of teaching don't have to be harsh.

Winding down.
As much as newbies feel the pain when criticized, but if you are really determined to learn from the seniors in the forum, you would not see it as a negative attack against you but rather see it as a constructive criticism where your wrong post or habits are being corrected so you will be the best version of yourself in the future.

Note that those who own hero and legendary positions have also started from a scratch, but instead of trying to prove their own point of view, they are smart enough to listen and learned from their superiors way back then. So their current positions today do not just happen in an instant, they really worked hard for it to achieve that high positions.

I have noticed in recent times a lot of newbies complaining about criticism of higher ranks member saying things that will displease them in the forum. Little did they know that those members were once a newbie like them and they were also criticised before getting to the position they are now. They are not trying to revenge on what was done to them before but they feel that is the best way to learn in this forum.

You have to be criticised in order to amend yourself here. If you’re smart enough, you’ll learn from that and adjust your ways here but if you claim to be smart or feeling too big, you will only be ignored by many and no one will want to correct even when you're doing the wrong thing.

Criticism is a part of learning process and that is not related to only this forum, even outside of the forums, in schools, organisations and companies, most workers learn through this process and that has helped them grow far to where they are today.

I would say that it is the newbies fault for not reading the OP and just post right away when the answer or explaination is already there and doing your own research. I'm sure they will understand once they are in the shoes of those who criticized a newbie not in a bad way and as mpamaegbu said constructively criticized newbies is a way of helping them doing the right things and avoid doing the wrong things that is avoidable before it will happen. It's not just newbies who might get offended but also higher rank forum members. After all, we are humans who sometimes make mistakes unintentionally or maybe intentionally. Criticism is part of learning so it's better to be understanding rather than easily offended or getting angry because you are criticized by other forum members.

Before starting this topic so many things have been on my mind because I know how it pains for someone to criticise a write up or a post.

There is a say that criticism is part of governance and to bring it here, criticism is part of growth because not everyone would agree with your opinion or points, We are coming from different socio-cultural backgrounds, and we learn differently, so people will always lay critics to what they think is not truth or the way it's or understand, Therefore do not be afraid of criticisms rather learn from them, even some of those critics help us to better understand things from a different perspective ,And to me If you don't like critics, it means you are not open to learn ,grow and widen your knowledge.

Criticism is a part of life. Everyone is free to share their point of view and it is not necessary that they will acknowledge your opinion. I think criticism should be constructive and should help the person improve their performance, not demotivate them.
I am of the opinion that when I read replies under my post, it gives a new perspective and a new angle to think. Criticism has improved me a lot over the years, so I consider this an opportunity and necessity for self-actualization.

Why newbies only? Anyone could be criticized if they are wrong with their posts. If you look at my post history, You will notice that I have criticized a couple of Legendaries and other members as well. It's not like that only newbies make mistakes. It could be anyone. We humans are supposed to do mistakes and criticism helps us learn. But it's true that newbies get criticized more compared to higher ranks due to their limited knowledge. Most of the times newbies do not search but they go ahead and create useless thread. They create repeat thread which was discussed multiple times before. But, what I am saying is; Not only newbies, but high ranked members feel the same when they get criticized.

Newbie should think about that as normal thing since not everyone here will agree to our opinion also not everyone will appreciate the effort we do just to post that information we like to share. So instead of they feel bad about it then make those criticism as tool so they can improve more.

Also sometimes we need to be criticize since its like waking us up especially if there's something wrong with our statement. What's more important there is we learn from other people opinion and we take their word as valid so that it can help us grow especially in crypto we really need multiple information and suggestion so that we can be a more better crypto adopter also a better investor.

They should really not get angry with those criticism since this can help them more aware or careful on our next post that we do.

That's not only a newbie issue. We also see such anger with advanced ranked accounts, though in a subtle manner. Truth is that anyone who gets angry when constructively criticized has pride in them. Otherwise, we should know that no one knows it all. The thing with newbies is that most of them don't like reading before commenting and that gets them a lot of bashing because they end up making avoidable errors. The questions they ask, most times are just a few posts above them. Reading and DYOR is the way to go here. It helps to shield one from needless corrections, and then anger that comes with ego getting bruised.

It's ok to be disappointed and angry it is just part of being human but we have to turn this disappointment and anger into something positive like channeling it to become a better member of this forum, and if you think that your post does not deserve criticism then we have the right to answer back and defend ourselves, it applies to everybody not just newbies even legendary can be criticized by lower rank members, what's is right is not the monopoly of any rank.

When you check the forum, you will see that not only newbies are criticised here, even high-ranking people are criticised, but I can say that the higher percentage of people whose posts are criticised are newbies because they have little or no knowledge about bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and forum. And when some newbies join the forum, instead of trying to learn, they will always want to teach, which is among the reasons why most of them are always criticized.
 
If your post is criticised, then you are going to feel bad. If you claim you don’t feel bad if your post is criticised, then you are just deceiving yourself. But if your post is criticised, that shouldn’t affect you much. Just make sure you learn from your criticism. Everyone who post here has been criticised before, even the high-ranking members, but being criticized shouldn’t discourage you from posting.

If your post is not yet criticised then you have not started your journey here because at all point in time you may not be able to pleased everyone with your write up some people are of higher learning standard so when you post they always find meaning to it, while there are other people who may sees your post and take it as a learning process and someone who is trying to come so they will add more light to what you are posting and talking about while some people over here would want you to start sharing same standard knowledge they have without knowing here is a place to learn and to teach.

People comes here to gain knowledge while we had already some people who are grounded over here and pass thorough knowledge to people around here and what you must do is to start developing a thick skin to be able to understand that you came to learn so for that you won't get angry with any forms of corrections that may comes from anyone here.

Good advice and I think only people that don't like being corrected think that correction is some of insult or wickedness. I have read so many newbie post that complain about how people here tend to blast them whenever they go off and I would just say over and over again that all of us were once newbie and this is not something that is done to you and as a matter of fact it's actually done to make you build up and grow more because only when someone corrects you that you know he wants the best for you.

which made it look like I actually did criticize your post. However, I wasn't. I was just trying to help you improve, mate. Your latest post shows that you've learned, with more punctuation and better organization. In this forum, higher-ranked members might correct you some will, some won't. If you take corrections positively, you'll learn and grow with the right perspective. I was once a newbie and learned from others, even if it felt like criticism. As a newbie, be open to correction without seeing it as criticism. Your progress in this post shows you've learned from my earlier advice. Congrats, mate, and keep it up!
Noted senior , the Fact here is that am not angry about your reply , no man is a monopoly of knowledge and I am ready to accept criticism because it has remained as one of my greatest motivation .

Every man learn by correcting his or her mistakes and that was why most people insisted that experience is the best teacher , I was quite happy that I was criticised because it is a synthetic avenue for me to add something new.

Furthermore, I only made that post because of people’s response towards your reply , life is all about filters and understanding and I am very glad that you made me realised my mistakes thanks .

When you are making a post on the forum here, you should be ready to be criticised, and when your post is criticised, it shouldn’t affect you. Don’t get annoyed and stop posting because of that. You should take the criticism as a correction and learn from it so that you won’t end up making the mistake that you made in the post. The forum is an open space where everyone is free to say what they want to say, so you can’t stop anyone from speaking their opinion about what you post.

Additionally, I will sincerely advice all the newbies who are quick to anger or discouraged when their post are been criticised to see it as a means of learning and not to react rudely because mistake brings correction .
If you are the type that easily gets angry, then the forum is not for you. Because everyone has the right to say what they want, people will definitely correct you. Your anger won’t stop people from correcting you if they know that your post is wrong or if they notice any corrections in your post. Seriously, criticism is what makes the forum interesting to me.

Criticism should be seen as an avenue to learn and not feel bad about it or even get discouraged rather take more time to go through your post and understand why at any point your post deviated and led to such criticism, there are some criticism that may come politely and some may come with harsh tones such that you may feel discouraged but instead of feeling such look through such criticism and you can be sure to get some knowledge from them.but for other form of criticism which Is aimed at condemning you totally then you should ignore and learn from the constructive and educative criticism.

As a newbie you should focus more on learning and not posting that way you learn better without much criticism which would have caused you some form of discouragement, after a while you have learnt well enough you could make contributions that wouldn't be criticized too badly.
