Following the forum rules is one of the quickest way to grow without any much efforts. It is important we learn the rules and follow it because this would be a better ways to understand the forum. If newbies can take a close look on this post they would understand that it is of importance to follow rules in every community to stay there for long. Most time I do see people complaining of not getting enough merits to rank up but merely one can write more post to qualify for post ranking and also get merits.

Just my 2 cents...

Forum is not necessarily for posting, keep reading as much as you can then only we can gain information which will lead us to better understanding of cryptocurrency, bitcointalk, blockchain, finance, investment, etc...

So newbies just focus on gaining knowledge the results will come to you for your efforts towards the betterment of our forum.
As far as someone is new in any place, I think one of the best ways for him to succeed in that particular place is to be patient. Yes, they said the patient dog eats the fattest bone. So we newbies should try as much as possible to be patient and don't feel so in a haste to make money. such attitude of been patient is an attitude of successful people. let's imitate them.

I think am also in support of this advice of deviating from any kind of plagiarism. Is better for us to write what we have knowledge of. And even if you want to quote someone, make sure you mention the person with reference.  If not, you have done what we call plagiarism. Plagiarism is also types of stealing, and stealing is not good.

As online gambling grows in popularity, more and more beginners are trying their luck at the virtual tables. While it can be a fun and potentially lucrative hobby, there are some common mistakes that new players make that can quickly turn their experience into a costly one. beginners make entry into a game without fully understanding the rules. Another common mistake beginners make is chasing losses. This means continuing to play in the hopes of winning back money that has been lost. They also select the wrong casino for gambling. Beginners also do not take advantage of bonuses and promotions.

I'd like to take this opportunity to share some very important advice with my fellow newcomers in this community, because since joining, I've learned a lot and gained some experience, and I'm confident that if my fellow Newbies get it right, the forum will be the best place they've ever been.

* As a newcomer to bitcoin/cryptocurrency and this community, you must abide by the forum's rules and regulations. This is why the vast majority of newcomers visit these forums only to leave once they realize they can't follow the forum's rules and regulations; whereas the rules are laid out to have a standard forum, protect the forum from any obstacles, and maintain the forum's reputation.

* Some people believe that these forums are simply places where we can come and succeed in life if we participate in them. This is not the case; if you come here expecting to make quick money, you may end up not learning much in the forum, and you won't be able to enjoy a better investment in bitcoin without the fundamental knowledge.

Some basic tips we beginners need to take into consideration to avoid costly mistakes

1. High quality post: One of the most important skills to learn in these forums is how to write meaningful content. If you can't write good content as a newcomer, you would be considered a shitposter in the forum and end up with nothing in your posts. I'm still not sure what a quality post is because there's so much content on this topic with different definitions. All I can say is that we beginners should avoid spamming by making our content meaningful.


2. Plagiarism: As we all know, plagiarism is unacceptable anywhere, including bitcointalk.org. If you do plagiarism and they catch you, you will be permanently banned, regardless of your forum rank, and this is what is affecting those of us who are new to the forum. Most of the time, we fail to read the forum rules until we commit an offense and are punished; Therefore, beginners need to avoid Plagiarism.

3. Inadequate understanding of cryptocurrency: The majority of newcomers to cryptocurrency do not understand it well enough to profit from it. If you don't understand how cryptocurrency works, you risk losing your assets quickly. You must learn from the forum thoroughly before investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in order to reduce risk.

Finally, I intend to create this thread based on the little experience I have gained from the forum. I decided to share the mistakes I have observed we beginners making that have been affecting us in the forum.
I welcome corrections and additional suggestions.

You are absolutely right, the 3 important tips that you convey can cover several mistakes that are still often made by beginners in this forum.
Maybe I'll try to add based on my thoughts and experiences too.

1. Don't be lazy to read and understand.
Often beginners only read the existing rules at a glance without understanding the meaning of the rules, even though the rules are very clear in my opinion. But most of them are still not appropriate or violate the rules that have been set.

2. Get into the habit of using forum searches.
Sometimes there are still some beginners making posts but have pre-existing questions or statements.
Sometimes I think this is useful if indeed the previous thread is far hidden by thousands of other threads.
But sometimes there are several threads that were just made today with the same discussion and points as the threads that were just made yesterday by other members.
At least if we want to create a thread with the same discussion, we have to look for a different point of view than the previous thread.

3. Don't expect to get merit quickly.
Often beginners instill the thought of quickly getting merit to quickly be able to rank up to take part in signature campaigns, but if they fail they will be disappointed and stop contributing.
In my opinion, this kind of thinking must be thrown away because it will make us often disappointed and give up easily.

4. The quantity of posts is necessary but also must prioritize quality.
Sometimes there are some beginners who make lots of less important posts in the hope that they can get merit each post.
Sometimes beginners will open posts with basic questions that are already in the rules that are made or that don't fit the topic board.
So often their posts end up being diverted off-topic or even deleted by moderators, and this will make them disappointed themselves and blame that this forum is not friendly to beginners.

5. Don't be discouraged.
If you have no knowledge of cryptocurrencies at all, don't be discouraged. This forum was indeed created to increase beginner's knowledge with various existing discussion topic boards.
Don't be discouraged or insecure because in this forum there are no provisions prohibiting beginners who have no knowledge of crypto at all from joining.
Don't be discouraged if you haven't got merit, what must be done is to increase our knowledge so that we can follow existing discussions or make good posts someday. In this forum there are also several senior members who care about the development of beginners and open several threads to help increase the rank of beginners voluntarily, by submitting our best posts or comments, of course.
The method is very easy, it's just that you have to comply with the terms and conditions made by several members in the thread they made.

Maybe that's a few additions from me according to my experience and journey in this forum. If something is wrong, please correct it and ask for justification so as not to cause misunderstandings for other beginners.

You made a great post and this post will never count as a shit post because everything valuable to community members is not considered a shit post. So I hope this will cover your confusion of what's shit post? Plagiarism is not prohibited but copying and pasting posts here and then claiming they are mine, that's against the rules.

To circumvent this, like if you want to write the same words as others then make a quote and provide a reference link to that quote.
You can check the profile of Hydrogen and Flexystar, I have seen there most of the posts are copied but they do not claim it is theirs while they properly quote them and provide a source link.

Thirdly, it's not necessary to have full or adequate knowledge of crypto to enter this forum but if you are not making a post to ask the question then adequate knowledge is necessary otherwise it looks like spam to increase activity or rank maybe.

I want to add a fourth factor to your list and that is the usage of AI content writer to generate Content and then share them here , newcomers should prohibit this activity because it includes in the list of harming the reputation of this forum and if you ask me where's the list, is in my mind. So everything harming the forum's reputation is restricted to be used.

3. Inadequate understanding of cryptocurrency

Finally, I intend to create this thread based on the little experience I have gained from the forum. I decided to share the mistakes I have observed we beginners making that have been affecting us in the forum.
I welcome corrections and additional suggestions.
These three points are indeed the basic points if you want to join this forum and when you want to invest in bitcoin and crypto.
I, as a beginner, still don't understand about and am still not qualified in terms of posting, but I will continue to correct my mistakes and will continue to learn about crypto, bitcoin and about the existing rules regarding this forum.

In third-world nations, plagiarism is not a serious matter even in university, college, research articles or business companies.
In forum globally, Bitcoin talk forum is a most serious forum about plagiarism but unfortunately plagiarism cases nowadays tend to be handled considerably softer than the past especially in 2018 or 2019.
This is true. Nobody even bothers to check the papers in my university back in the days when written homeworks were a common activities. Not sure if other sites like Facebook and Reddit handles plagiarism differently, but surely some subs in Reddit related to writing enforce those kind of rules (cause why not?)

That is because no one is going after those students who plagiarize other works while professors are lazy checking the content for plagiarism.  Or most probably the works have references and state the sources of the information written on the homework.

Plagiarism is a serious thing because you can be sued and got jailed or penalized depending on the amount of damage done to the original owner.  Now tell me if plagiarism isn't a serious matter why it is punishable by law?



Then we can say that they are in bad school because they hire lazy professor to teach there children. Also they cannot correct the mistake made by their students.

But honestly so far never heard this since what I almost read from my professor friends actually caught some of their student doing such action and been called out for what they do. Plagiarism should be corrected while its early because maybe those student who do that can bring this attitude to more higher level and might this could put them in danger.

I have been reading on the background and studying the forum and also contributing in the little way that I can, one thing that I know about this forum is if you are here with a positive mind you are really going to make it far, but if you come here with the mindset of scamming then you will get what you want that's a permanent ban or a red-tag.
Plagiarism is also one thing that everyone should take note of and avoid doing.
I prefer to say a few words than to copy a bunch of works that I will get me into more trouble than I could ever imagine.

Stay clean, remain gentle and you will see that this forum is a cool place to learn.

Everyone on this forum started as a beginner, in time many will adjust, but that is if they want to improve on themselves, those who don't ready the rules on the forum easily get banned, if you go through the rules you won't try to copy-paste anything you see online on the forum, I still can't figure out why many people are on this forum because it's clear that not everyone is here to learn about crypto if that is the case why break the rules, why engage in plagiarism.

Some people believe that these forums are simply places where we can come and succeed in life if we participate in them. This is not the case

For the fact that you're not into ponzi schemes doesn't mean you cannot still make it in life on a quicker track through this forum, this platform is the only community I've ever seen that guide one through a right path in life because you learn here in different aspects, you build a career here, you participate in a campaign if you so wish, you meet people and relate, you got exposed to the real world here because this platform constitute every potential and positive thoughts thinking people allover the world with a common goal, which is bitcoin and many other opportunities that may come through that while being on the forum.
The forum has nothing to do with our success, it’s the potentials within us that we should develop and help them enhanced through the forum’s reliable members. And when we start developing them, we should also learn from other people’s experiences in the forum as we can learn a lot of them especially in making us more confident in facing our mistakes and correcting them.

All your points are valid, thanks for that, and in addition, it's good for all to be sure that they are natural and not chase anything. Do not post when you should not post, by forcing it, one is bound to make one or two mistakes.

Also, there is no excuse for plagiarism and not knowing the field you want to discuss about. And I believe that the issue of the low-quality posts is in two categories, there are some that are poor in the English language, while some are just in a hurry to make a post. The former is forgivable since they are not good in the language, and when one reads their writeup, it should be easily detected.

While the latter is so bad, in doing so, they will only be reducing their reputation which is not worth it. So why the post?
These are common mistakes that all of us have experienced. And one thing that is certain, we can never correct them if we never learn from our mistakes, and by thorough research and gaining experience day by day, we will overcome all these mistakes. It’s just a matter of patience and having the diligence to learn everyday, as learning never stops either from our researches or from the positive insights shared by forum members.

This is one thing that may be very difficult to do, not only by beginners but also for many members here. A qualified post must include several criteria. Some people may have a good understanding abut cryptocurrency, but cannot utter clearly explanation and write in this forum. Some beginners may not really know about cryptocurrency, but they are registered here by only asking how to be good here, without any efforts to be better. It may be related also to habit, in which some beginners may only focus on the purpose only, but not be willing to be better in trying. Some of us forget how to utter and make quality posts moreover if we are here only to fulfill the task and requirement for posting. And some newbies only focus on posting, not the quality.

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
In order to succeed here as beginner, You must be open minded person who is open to take corrections , you must be willing to unlearn old things, relearn and learn new things, because there are some information you got out there which are not the rightful information and Satoshi created this forum for proper Information and knowledge about Bitcoin.
Most of us here started gradually by learning, improving along the line and are still learning as we go because each day we learn new things .... Learning never stops.
Mistakes are inevitable especially for beginners as they are still in the learning process, and if they fail to absorb them correctly, they will continue to repeat the same mistakes again. That is why for beginners to succeed in the forum, we should be more open to new ideas and insights, as that will guide and lead us through the process. But complete learning will not happen in an instant, it will take a lot of time making DYOR and sometimes, it even let us to create an experience first before we can finally say that we understand the market well and how these cryptocurrencies work in the market.

It will not be so easy for beginners to fulfill this condition. The quality of the posts will directly depend on the background of the person. If this is not the case, then it is almost impossible to create high quality posts and this will have to be learned. I will not say that this is a super-difficult task, but depending on the abilities of people, it will take a different amount of time to master. Everything new is always something to learn. So, for many beginners, writing low-quality posts is almost inevitable and they all have to go through this path on their own. Someone will improve, but someone will not be able to and will abandon the forum (or become a shitposter).
We cannot expect from beginners to create a high quality post because their knowledge is still limited. But along with time, when they already understand cryptocurrency completely and how it’s market works, then they will start to bargain their knowledge and create highly meaningful post along with their past crypto experiences. That way, they can always create a good impact to other forum members and consider themselves significant contributors in the forum.

2. Plagiarism: As we all know, plagiarism is unacceptable anywhere, including bitcointalk.org.
Seriously plagiarism is really a great offense here, you can't just copy other people's work and post it as your own, if you see any post that you think worth posting on the forum here and it's not your post, just make sure you add source link to the post before posting and you can also quote the post to be at safer size. Nobody will ban you if you add source of where you copied the post.
Most of the time, we fail to read the forum rules until we commit an offense and are punished
I think that's one of the problem most newbies are always having, they are always too lazy to read the forum rules, why will you join a forum and you notice the forum is having rules and regulations and you won't go through it, it's not really making sense to me, the first thing I believe newbies should do immediately they join the forum is to read the rules and regulations.

Due to this, I am not surprised why a lot of newbies are getting nuked easily due to plagiarism.
