I think the major problem for us, newbies on this platform is the fear of your account been banned and so in an attempt to provide good post, we sometimes by tension and fear, do things which are out of the rules. Again, mostly, as newbies in the world of cryptocurrencies and having heard about the good in it, we try to get to the top fast and hence post wroughly.  I think taking our time to learn will help us to overcome the fear and gradually climb to the top

some seniors answered my questions by showing the links to read. it feels like no chance to have conversation. well, this is not the place for friendly conversations. is it a feeling being treated as strangers. dunno.. I don't care. just gain knowledge as first step in this community.

When I started learning about bitcoin back in 2014, I, too was overwhelmed with the information I was reading about it, up to the point that I kinda lost interest because I need to read a lot of things. However, the approach I did to learn all the stuff I know about is simple: churn down things slowly and do not bite them all at once. This will help you keep learning things without feeling any form of pressure, and will surely get you hooked up since you'll get interested on the ideology behind bitcoin and why it is one of the greatest tech innovations today.

I believe you've mentioned a feasible approach for novices. Staying focused and be not so hectic will help to avoid getting overwhelmed in such a broard subject like crypto currency, or blockchain technology in general. Afterall, most of us still have a fulltime job and family to take care, thus don't have much time to "bite them all at once".

Perhaps, paying attention on topic "Beginner and Helps" seems my good starting point. Isn't it? Smiley

There's alway some sad feeling going with newbies in any community, including this forum.

Firstly, newbies do not understand all neccesary regulations, thus may easily get hurt when their posts are deleted due to not conforming to rules. Secondly, newcomers are seen and sometimes treated as strangers who trying to get some precious resources from the cummunity. Thirdly, posts by juniors are probably not appreciated and usually passed by senior members (i.e. newbies writing just for other newbies reading, mostly). Forthly, trying to write good posts but not hoping much to get merits as mentioning in another thread obviously another discouraging thought to new members.

Anyway, I think that's quite normal, because all members have experienced such feelings when they just joined this forum. The only matter is how they manage to pass such little akward moments.

What're my solutions? Well, just follows common instruction: reading more, learning much, and trying to contribute useful posts within my current knowlege about cryptocurrency world, as much as I can.

How about you, new guys? Any better ideas?

The hostility being faced by newbies is just normal in every human society because you are expected to know how things happen in a community before trying to feel among. The reason why its on the high part is because most newbies didn't want to learn before earning. They just want to join based on what they have heard about the earning opportunities and blinded by that objective to take note of salient rules until they run into problem breaking one of the rules and by that time, ignorance won't be an excuse.

Another reason is the people who are morally deficient have used that rank to perpetuate unwholesome activities. You see someone create a new account to trade or sell something, exchange currencies, borrow loans with the objective of scamming. That makes people skeptical about the rank. Eventually, the problem won't go but if you distinct yourself, you will be noticed and for merits, it might be difficult but eventually you earn it if you are consistent of churning out quality posts.

As far as precious resources, so what? Isn't that why everyone is here? If we are treated as "strangers", we will be discouraged to take part. Juniors aren't appreciated, so even after I go through the pains of no graduating from being a newbie, I am still not good enough. Great. As far as merits go, how in the heck is someone going to get a merit if no one likes them because they're a newbie or Junior?

I don't have much to say about newbies complain about junior ignoring them. I just wanna say that I'll keep reading and posting to gain knowledge and perhaps merits.

It's simply because most junior members and newbies don't know shit and are here only for the bounties and nothing else. The only people that are complaining "sr members arent noticing our posts bla bla" are the ones who are complaining only because their posts are not good enough for merits.

^^ This.
And if, on top of that, you add the users that are farming accounts to re-sell them, the cheap signature campaigns that encourage for mass spamming instead of quality content ... That makes a considerable amount of accounts posting whatever shit goes through their mind just to increase the numbers in their profile.
I mean .. Come one ... :

(This thread is a shitposter free for all ...)
Look at that guy's post history : https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/richmeister-1538222

There's not much to do. Unfortunately, forum ranks apply to both type of users. However, merit doesn't.
I know it's not easy, but try to make stuff for the community. Not especially unique or remarquable things, but some cool and useful stuff is always appreciated. Smiley
Try to use your skills at their best. You must be good at something. Cheesy

Maybe I'm wrong, you as a Sr. Member read and commented on my post. Frankly, your word is hurtful but mostly true  Cheesy.


If it is any consolation, I am a senior member here, but even my posts get deleted some times. I try not to dwell on it, but instead try to make better contributions the next time around. A good attitude, respect for others and a willingness to learn are key.
P.S. And don't forget, all legitimate members here had to start from scratch.

Well, your encouraging comment really helps. If posts by senior member may be deleted, then it doesn't matter if my post in the same situation. Just keep our chin up and keep reading, learning, and posting more.

It is true to be a newbie is sad, because not knowing what in this bitcointalk world.

I like to welcome newbies, but seriously.... Can you not think of a quick solution to not knowing the rules? Hint: There are pinned post in which these are written.

I can't but I agree with this.

As a newbie myself and for the short time I've been active here, I've followed bit of newbie posts and I can say a number of them are uninteresting even to me as a newbie.

I keep wondering, why is the recurrent complain about the ranking system, when in actual fact you don't even need any merit to get to a Jr. member; which allows you to participate in bounties, if that's your primary aim. But no! Newbies rather wants to become a Sr. Members overnight just for higher stakes. We have to understand that anything that'll last long successfully, don't come by accident. It takes time, effort, dedication and thorough planning.

For me, I'd say there are a whole lot of Sr. Members here who take notice of newbies posts and are willing to support newbies that they recognize to be showing potentials.

Well, at least that's been my own experience.

I like this thread!
Actually, I had my first account being banned because of some misunderstanding with the rules. But the rules are there to follow, so...
I would suggest using this forum for fair and honest reasons: learning and helping others to learn!  Wink

If you do so (or any newbie), you are fine !!!

Another newbie wondering... Earlier I replied to a newbie and I guess the same message I have for you as well.

Well, since you are a newbie, I suggest you explore the forum for first few months.
Watch, read and engage. Improve your skills.
There are people including me learnt a lot (we are still learning) which we did not even have any clue! You can review one of my topic to see the things I have gained from BitcoinTalk and some others appreciations.
