My mistake on this forum,was initially when I just joined the forum. I allowed criticism on my thread by forum members way me down,and makes me get scared of posting. Later,as time goes on I overcome this and decided not to listen to everyone comments,but just to take on only good comments and advices from forum members. This really helped me alot, to feel free and enjoy the forum better. Another mistake I did was not giving enough time to the forum at first when I started in other to learn properly, this made me at first not knowing what to post and how to start posting due to no knowledge on the forum discussions on bitcoin. Later,when I realized this,I gave more of my time to forum activities by reading and making my own research. I was able to contribute to discussions in the forum.

Only the brave will reduce the big errors, especially those that may affect their accounts. Therefore, if there is a way to publish anonymously, you may get better answers, but in the current situation, all you will get are traditional errors.
As for me, the biggest mistake was that I believed a scammer without verifying the trust, as I sent him around 200 dollars and then he scammed me, knowing that 200 dollars at the beginning of the year 2017 would have definitely been worth more than 1000 dollars now.

I have seen that there are a number of Hero and Legendary members here on this forum. I assume that you all done at least one mistake when you actively participating in the forum. If you would like to share a mistake you have made, it could help newcomers avoid making the same mistake when posting here.
Then after sometime, It became real to me that anyone' isn't bullied nor ostracized for Thier contributions, no matter how lowly crafted it woulda looked like... that's exactly the time I began cheering up and letting myself loose too.

And I stop doing bounty campaigns after the day I got paid my reward that wasn't even up to a dollar (i.e in a shitcoin whose value back then was $0.1)

Well that's subjective, but I don't consider it as a mistake. Meriting is about the quality and value right? even though it wasn't written by himself and you're prefer to meriting an active user or it was written by himself.
You're right. After all, what has happen has already happened.

I cannot actually remember any regrettable mistake I made as a newbie. I came here as an absolute newbie and I approached the forum my way. Although I experienced fierce resistance by some reputable forum members but I stood my ground.
Even when I haven't been a clear victim, but with experience I have in the forum I was able to compile some NEWBIE MISTAKES . This could be what you are searching for.

mine is not a mistake but a huge regret. due to family problems in which i was forced to move to my relatives, i was so focused on working on a call center that time that i stopped visiting this forum. well, to be precise that time i badly needed a regular job and i worked as VA at first and then became a call center after that. due to being busy at work and handling personal problems, i find it hard visiting forum. aside from that, i know that campaigns cannot be considered as a regular job. what i regretted the most was i could have tried posting even once daily or twice just to make sure my account is active, but i didn't. maybe at that time i was still affected with what happened in my real life that i couldn't decide properly.

The biggest mistake I ever made in the forum comes from my newbie days, though I can't tell if am still doing some mistakes that am yet to identify or corrected.
First off, two days after my registration to the forum I got lucky to locate my local hangout now local board and after introducing myself, I was still busy responding to myself when no one responded to me.
Secondly, I saw growth here as a difficult thing and getting merit as a more difficult thing but with time I got better understanding about so many things and it's been fun since then.

My biggest mistake was probably caring too much about Bitcoin, and basically volunteering to support narratives becoming of OG bags through thick and thin. And for what exactly? Merits and a pat on the back I suppose. Its easy to get tricked into having a blind loyalty to Bitcoin and its royalty; after all this is the Bitcoin Forum and its why we're all here. But BTC itself is simply a means to an end and far from the most important things in the world, which are health and happiness.

I'm not really remember what the mistake I did, maybe it just a small mistake, so I forget about it.
Speaking of mistakes, was it not a mistake to publish this post on this board? don't we have a Beginners & Help board?
If you think this thread posted in a wrong board, you can report it to the moderator and let's see if you're correct or you're wrong.The second one was quite petty, meriting a member that plagiarized and got banned the day after.

The biggest mistake I have made in this forum is word spinning. I saw a question asked by a newbie about which I was not too sure of the answer, so I went online to do some research and found exactly what I was looking for, but instead of quoting the original content creator, I wrote the world as if it were mine without even dropping a single link to the source. It was in one of my posts that Lucius called attention to that, but since then I have not activated the V2 notification bot that always notifies me of new mentions. I went through the thread and saw my crime, but lucky enough, the Moderators gave me a second chance, and ever since then, I have learned from my mistake and would rather jump a thread than plagiarize or word-spin.

Not taking advantage of artificial intelligence to create several accounts on the forum using it as leverage, while others continue to whine about it. I'm sure more than one of those crying now will be using AI every day in the near future in the same way they use the internet or mobile today.

Nothing coming close to plagiarism (I doubt anyone would want to admit that lol). Two which I could remember. One was bumping my thread on my personal website, which got me suspended for 14 days for link spam. However it took me a while to find out.
The second one was quite petty, meriting a member that plagiarized and got banned the day after.

None.
There might be some here who made some mistakes when they were a newbie, but I can't remember one, or I think I really didn't made one.
I don't think that joining bounties when I was a newbie was a mistake though because I learned still because of being active at that time. I joined bounties, but I'm slowly learning. I didn't make some shitposts like what other users are doing right now. I mean I can't think of anything.
Hmmm. Maybe I can consider my temporarily lost of my account as my mistake, but aside from that I didn't made any. I didn't get ban too in the past.

I haven't had any fatal mistakes since I joined the forum, but if time could be turned back, I wish I'd read the forum rules first before posting. Apart from that, when I first joined the forum I also made more short shitposts without any meaning on the forum. I hope you don't make the mistakes I did.

Probably what the rest of us made before, early in our forum activity, we might have been posting low quality. I remember way back, I was even branded as a "spammer" by someone, I wouldn't mentioned his name, he is still active and he says he put me in his ignore list. I was already a Senior Member that time, but I have work myself up.
There could be standards here, but for me, and if you are being judge by others, so be it. Just be yourself and not be affected but strive hard to improved yourself in this community.

Mind you that the only mistake newbies shouldn't make is plagiarizing, and they should know that it is unacceptable even before they join the forum, plagiarism is somewhat frowned upon in every walk of life. But as for other mistakes like low quality posts, newbie query, pyramid quoting, making multiple posts in a row, etc, is not all that bad for a newbie to make, a true newbie would not learn all of that upon registration, it takes time and newbies have to live through that process; it is with time that they become good in most aspects of the forum. Thus even as newbies learn from the mistakes posted by older users in this thread, they should understand that they also can't be experienced users overnight, and some of those mistakes are quite normal for a noob to make.

There shouldn't be a rank required to share their mistakes that the forum members with that rank done in Bitcointalk forum. To be honest, I have done something that you could say that I am wasting mods time and even give more work but I didn't get ranked up to hero member yet that time. I created a thread where it's supposedly to be self-moderated thread and my mistake was I didn't make it into self-moderated where I had to lock the thread and create a new one. The thread is not even useful in my opinion as it is a merit thread for low ranks to submit their application before I sent merits. You should make it more clear as some high rank forum members done something when they are still low rank like me for being a bounty hunter few years ago when I joined this forum.

During my early days I got a 1 or 2 week ban for low-quality posts for a sig campaign I joined. At the time I barely knew anything about the forum and had not taken the time to learn any of the rules. If there is anything a newbie should do, it's read the RULES and the stickies in each section.
Your honest report has increased my respect for you. Most people at your level never agree that they made mistakes as newbies. Sometimes you keep assuming that some members started as full members because they don't correct with love. Sometimes they feel that newbies should have known everything and they harshly criticize instead of correcting with love and patience. They forget so quickly that they were once corrected and guided.

getting temporarily banned for 14 days for spamming/off-topic/posting extremely low-quality posts. this happened in 2019, checking my inbox on my messages, there are at least more than 30+ posts deleted in the span of 2 weeks which caused me to get temporarily banned for two weeks.
