Topic: Reading is more important than replying (Read 358 times)

Yes, reading is very important. But I recently discovered that when I read the content and wanted to express my opinion, I found a lot of similar opinions. This caused me to stop replying and just read.
But the forum is also a free place. We can freely express our thoughts and opinions at any time.
You did a great job on this thread. keep it up.

For sure, reading so long as you do understand is more important than replying but then, communication is the most important of all. Why is that, you may ask? That's because, its only in communication that some other user can actually know if you did understand or you are following up on what you've read. To this forum or online communities that can hardly moderate or verify the application of the details passed in the articles on the forum, replying and creating of contents seems to be the way. Mind you, replying do has its benefits too, forum wise! And it cannot be underestimated. So as you read, do well to share your views if you have one and don't spam the forum.

Never knew I was in a gang lol. I have nothing against honest bounty hunter, I'm a manager myself so it will be contradicting of i wa to hate on hunters. They are things you can do to keep your account clean while still participating in bounty. I know of many active forum uses that partake in my bounty and if you were to review their account, you'll be impress and not get discouraged due to the spams. Been a hunter doesn't mean your posting history shouldn't be clean.

Mostly all reports are done weekly and stakes also updated weekly, so why not delete your previous reports instead of leaving them and posting more weekly reports, making your post history just filled with reports and presenting you as an unproductive forum user. Ones your stakes has been given for the week you delete reports or probably after completion of the campaign, you delete all the unproductive posts like the reports and all that to keep your account clean.

Lastly that you're a hunter doesn't mean you shouldn't be active on the forum in discussion regarding cryptocurency and others. There are hunters that have a clean profile while still participating on regular forum discussion and getting merited for their contributions. The forum isn't against bounty but don't abuse that privilege. OP congratulations on your achievement, well deserved.

After reading this article occasionally, I don't make any comments.
I don't have time to read everyone's words one by one. I am afraid that when I was expressing my opinion, someone had already said it.
I'm slowly changing now, and I'm starting to read everyone's comments. I can learn a lot from the comments.

Even if this is not your first forum account, you have started to think right because you are well aware of all the bounty hunter violations. This gives hope that we will have a good forum member.
But there is a small amendment, you were misinformed, loyceV and CryptopreneurBrainboss, the nicest and kindest people who just love the forum and want to keep it clean. As for me, I am yes, I will be looking for scammers on the forum. Probably not for nothing that you mentioned here, accounts that have ever been related to you or your friends?
But if you read the OP's topic correctly, everything is clear enough. Be real, do not try to dissemble on the forum, and you will be surprised at the other side, how many friendly people are on the forum who are happy to communicate with you. 

Most bounty hunters are too purposeful. This is disrespect for the forum and disrespect for the project party. They only have money in their eyes. This is the last thing I want to see. These people are very annoying, too There are many false and alternative accounts, which is why I only registered an account today. Do you have any good suggestions to effectively manage the account of the bounty hunter?

1.Only accounts for bounty programs are prohibited, and there is no opportunity to appeal.

2.Raising the requirements for being a bounty hunter, the time limit for registration, the number of posts, the limit on the number of merits, and the need to review with the administrator, I think cheeky gangs can do this work, such as loyceV, cryptopreneurBrainboss, Lovesmayfamilis. They are all very strict And rigorous people.

3.Set up a special altcoin promotion section, forum users vote, everyone said that it is really good, the bounty is hosted by the forum. and many more.

Do you have any other opinions?

Sure, I cannot agree with you more!
you really made a difference in this forum, I admire your knowledge in technology relevant to crypto world, for example, asymmetric encryption. I tried to learn it and I figured it out then and forgot very soon...you are a diligent and clever person with a strong will
in reference to merits and ranks, I don't envy you guys with high merits(not really, lol) you did a good job, I have to say. I'll treat you as my role models.
It's hard for me to spend too much here since I have to do my work, but I really enjoy being in here
I used nearly one year just reading in this forum and then I started my account to share my opinions occasionally. anyway, I'm inspired here and I'll do some reflection. maybe I should read more and then reply, to provide notion of higher quality and improve myself
good output entails huge amount of input

As a new member who has just entered the forum, my original intention was to go to the forum to learn some knowledge in the field of encryption. Indeed, I found that many people just chose to reply after reading the title and did not read the post seriously. This is just When outputting your own inherent ideas, you have not accepted some fresh ideas. Reading other people’s opinions or ideas that are different from your own may open up another new idea for you. If you just choose to keep outputting your own opinions to others, then you There will be no novel gains, and you will never be able to improve your knowledge.

I noticed you around and yes, you're not a bad poster and soon you deserve to rank up, just keep your goal and keep it up, one day you will be there.

This was what I always advise on newbies here that most likely asking how to earn merit, they need more time to read and study first before posting so that they will learn and contribute something knowledgeable information, it also can avoid having a spam reply.

I tend to agree with this, don't rely on a single source or in the forum itself, you need to explore other sources like reading cryptocurrency books and videos that have explained very well every detail that we wanted to learn most especially in trading, it's very crucial.

For now, you're a great example for the newbies out there to motivate them and do the same with you.

You're right, it's always good to keep mute when there's no words of tangible expression to be made rather than constituting falasy and nuisance, I come across this article on professional talking etiquette required.

Very good point. It's important to select what you read. Your time is valuable and you shouldn't waste it reading lowquality stuff. It's same like you don't read random books or don't watch random movies, you select what is interesting for you.

Dude, no offence, but is it really neccessary to quote whole OP with all images?

Replying or making a post should only be done when necessary and you have something of value to contribute, value like quality might be subjective, making it difficult to ascertain when you are adding value and not. The key is just to make sure you're not posting for the wrong reasons;
• Simply to fulfil campaign requirements,
• To grow your activity,
• To hunt for merits.

There are so many other ways one can be of value to the forum;
• Reporting spam and plagiarism,
• Creating a custom trust list,
• Bursting scams, etc

I had over 2k posts after about 3 years of BitcoinTalk and, to my surprise, I found out later on that I was just a bastard who copies the opinions of others and wastes the time of others on the forum. Only last year have I truly started to learn much more about crypto and how it works. Perhaps the biggest mistake we all make is that we get so focused on earning money, we literally forget about any other aspect of Bitcoin. And I wasn't the only one in that boat, so many others were.

I almost had an "argue" (if I could even call it that way) with a few members here who last year kept wondering how the hell am I a Hero member yet I know not much about crypto and I post useless replies. It takes time and some kind of discipline to get to higher ranks on BitcoinTalk and earn a better reputation. I may not be the best now, I'm probably not even average, but I try my best to offer my knowledge to anyone here who needs it whenever I feel like I have enough information in my brain to do so.

Reading is sometimes just a waste of time. Unfortunately, so many people miss out so many good posts just because reading only posts and threads written by ChipMixer members has become a trend. I'm not saying it's a bad thing - DS definitely always picks up the better members of the forum, but it's a shame that even I tend to only read posts and threads written by highly reputable members of the forum while completely ignoring those of newer ones who are trying their best to offer whatever kind of info they can help with. What I was trying to say is that reading everything might actually make you lose more IQ than you earn, lol.

At the end of the day, it might be a good practice to follow the threads that truly interest you, to write threads only about stuff that interest you rather than posting just for Merit earning and, meanwhile, it might be a very good idea to read at least 1-2 sub-Sr. Member posts per thread and merit the best finds so that those who deserve it earn it.

You need to be selective with what you read. If you were to read every single post in every single thread that you see, you would waste a ton of time without learning anything, because there's so many low value posts, repetitive posts, unimportant topics, etc. Every beginner should start with reading a good book about the basics of Bitcoin technology, get some knowledge of cryptography so that they could start answering people's questions.

I think he meant that it is about "reiterating" the same opinion all over again without adding more substance or value.

You and I might like pineapples on pizza. I said that I like them because they are sweet. If you said the same thing, there's no value. You could say you like pizza not just because they are sweet, but also because they blend well with the other toppings of the pizza and not just because they are sweet.  Just giving you an example scenario here.

Eating pizza right now to be honest, while I am writing this.

The question is how may you contribute to the forum? If you can't learn then you can't contribute. You can't read then you can't learn. So learning and contributing are related to each other. I have been saying always, read more than create a post or reply. So that you can learn more and could contribute to the forum. The goal shouldn't be earning merit which wouldn't give you a good result. Concentration on the learning and contribution would help you be an established member of the forum. So, learn as much you can by reading forums.

No, the point here is to avoid any spam replies that has been previously mentioned already by other users. Like what he mentioned, replying requires responsibility. Imagine if you were to read a thread containing replies with the same thought, then there would be no room for any discussions as all will be repetitive.

The forum is indeed a place for communication but you also have the responsibility to observe all the rules stated. Though we are given freedom to communicate our thoughts, there is a limitation as to what we can post/share in order to make this forum a better place for discussions.

Yes, because actually when we work hard, there is always a result to reap at the end, and you did worked hard and got paid the price.. so I am very much Happy for you, because for the few months of my constant participation in this forum, I have indeed learnt a lot beyond compared.

Very good advice, I agree, first inform yourself and only then get involved.
The problem is that we have a lot of people here who come solely for earning opportunities, bounty hunters, or because of regular signature campaigns etc.
They are not interested in forum rules but solely to meet their campaign's requirements on the minimum number of posts written.
So we get people who don't read but write exclusively to make some money and I don't think there's much help how to solve it.
