Topic: Newbies read this BEFORE POSTING - for your own good. (Read 142 times)
Also, try to be helpful. See what knowledge you have to contribute and if you are able to help answer other user questions. Know this forum has a great deal of members and try to behave in a way that doesn’t need moderation. This means keeping track of your passwords, securing your account, and not contacting administrators with issues that they clearly do not have time to address.

In addition, it is important to emphasize the golden rule:- NEVER PLAGIARIZE. Copy/pasted stuff is sadly common here in the forum and has become the first reason to get banned.
- NEVER COPY/PASTE the same all over the forum.
So keep that in mind: everything you write should be ORIGINAL and it can be posted once (at least you translate it into some other language).
If you copy/paste, no matter if it is your own text or somebody else`s one, probably you will get a permaban.
Everyday the forum is filled with questions that are already answered and I am sure everyday many newbies are banned for very basic mistakes. These are the posts that you should read:
- Protect your account against hacking:
(Note: Once hacked it takes a very long time to get it back, even if you protected it)
- Before complaining about the merit system, know that many, far too many people have already done so. The system is here to stay.
Example of complaints and answers: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-can-i-overcome-the-merit-barrier-4429728
- If you don´t know what merit is, you want to read this post created by the forum manager/owner Theymos. Sooner or later all members become interested in raking up (newbie to Junior, to Member, etc...) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350
So, to rank up you need to have a certain number of post, being a member for a certain time and also, and that´s possibly the most difficult part, earn merit by doing good posts.

If you can´t read all of them, read at least the forum rules. It is really easy to get kicked out.

Particularly:
- Avoid spam, that is same or very similar message repeated several times. Avoid posts without content like "I like it", "Thanks", "Me too"...
- Don´t PM members or admins without a very good reason, better ask in public.
