Topic: what is the importance of identify in your local board? (Read 387 times)

for answer question for number one and number 3, I don't think it is necessary to identify oneself or kyc on the forum because for me this forum is not that strict . And local board, it is clear that those who are new to crypto can understand each other's threads in their country's language, so it's easy.

Your points are clear and I can see the benefits of visiting my local board now, I will definitely find mine and relate with them. A lot can be learnt from then and knowledge easily passed as we speak in a way we understand

Yes it is very important. One thing in life is that you should always identify yourself were you come from, don't always hide your identity no matter the circumstances. So that people would know where to classify you. Secondly there are local news you will hear from your local board which you can not see in the main borad., Which may be of help to you.

No thread is the best to create in the local board. but just a place to shear idea on Bitcoin and other related topic of your country. Or discussing what seems to be private which no other member needs to understand even the Google translator can not.

This who don't have local board should arrive to get there ow local board. If they dont, they have no choice rather than to contribute in another place in the board. Afteral many people with local board don't participate in their own local board. Is not a must.

Beginners will only follow topics that they like. The topics in local forums will certainly be easy for beginners to understand, especially in the introduction of Bitcoin and forum regulations.
I don't think there is a problem for those focusing only on local administrators. In addition, information in public forums is also copied in local forums and has been translated. this helps those who are not active in public forums still get accurate information.
Local boards are important for a beginner's initial development. I just hope that some members who still don't have a special home to discuss in their local language on the forum will soon be made aware by the moderators.

I feel that the local board is one important section in the forum that every new person should relate with. For me, when I newly came into tye forum, apart from beginners and help, tye only place I visit very often is the local board because there is this sense of connection you get having the people in your locality be represented in a forum like this, plus considering the fact that most newbie don't really know much as regards bitcoin and some other serious discussion that might be going on in other board like the general discussion, meta and the rest, it makes more sense for a newbie to first identify with there local boards where they can easily follow up and make contribution as regard the didcussion going on in the board.

But as a general role, stick to boards and conversation you can contribute meaningfully to. Choose a niche and make sure you are striving very well in the chosen niche. With time you will be able to contribute reasonable in other serious boards but as a beginner, just stick to what works best for you.

Quite right. But as a beginner, you don’t need only beginners and help; you also need some other boards like bitcoin discussion. Even though things that beginners need are almost in the beginner and help board, going to a bitcoin discussion board will help because there are some discussions that also take place there, and as a novice, something’s like that: focusing on only one board will not give you the knowledge you want; you will only get the forum rules and somethings there, but in bitcoin discussion, that is where you will learn about bitcoin much better, so as you are here, you really want to know, you also need a bitcoin discussion board for better understanding.


Is not necessary, We have people here who don’t post or discuss on their local boards. Or doesn't have a local board and is still participating in discussions on the English board. The reason for the local boards is just to teach you something in your local language for better understanding. Because it matters to you in English, when you have been taught something using your local language, you will understand it better than when they explain it to you in English. In fact, most of the discussions on the local boards are also on the English boards, so it is not necessary.

Also the local board are spelt out and if you look at the name of the local board you'll know who are meant to discuss there. The local board is for members of that locality and those people who can speak the language without the help of translators or AI. Not everybody is good at speaking english which make their replies uneasy to comprehend so them communicating in their local language most of the time will do us and them more favor as it makes them feel comfortable instead of struggling on the english baord. Also there are some discussion that isn't meant for the general forum but for local members to discuss among each other as they'll have better understanding of the topic than the general board. Those are some usefulness of the local board. It's not necessary for everyone but I encourage everyone to associate with their local board, they can either benefit from there or be of benefit to others on the local board.


All types of thread that are allowed on the forum is also allowed on the local board to my best of understanding but also engage with the local baord as some might have other rules and regulations that they have added to govern their board. The rules is always in line with that of the forum and doesn't go against any laws of the forum. The members will determine which type of discussion they want to have and also the subboard available will influence what's been discussed.


It's not mandatory or necessary and if you don't have local board, you can decide to use only the main board or if your local members can come together to request for a board after making your local thread (on the other languages/location section to be very active and pinned).

Yes I think it's necessary because Bitcointalk is a very large forum and many part of it are spammed by muti-account and/or clueless shitposters who are just here in order to make money from signature campaigns and not to discuss about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies related subjects. Most times the easiest way to know if one user is a legit one, is to look how he is interacting with people on his local board.

It is not necessary to identify or participate in your local board. As you can see, all forum boards primarily rely on the English language, and perhaps most content on local boards is derived from English topics posted by other members. However, local boards can simplify information through meaningful discussions, guidance, and other educational topics published in your native language. They can also be useful for building new friendships. If you don't find a local board, there's no problem if your English is good; it's sufficient for you, or it is possible to participate in the other languages/locations board.

Indeed, I am one of the people who prefer my local board, and my goal in participating there is to help many members, provide them with assistance, and exchange knowledge more in the language we are accustomed to reading and writing. The good thing is that I feel I am not a stranger there.

I do think it is recommended that you participate in your local boards to give it more traction and discussion.

From my experience in our local boards, some translate discussions to their respective local languages for better understanding. Also, the local boards discuss all crypto-related news that is currently happening on their country for everyone's awareness.


I think it all boils down to creating up-to-date news regarding cryptocurrencies in their country. Most of the information that I get comes from our local boardespecially when it comes to anything that is crypto-related. You'll never know when the government will have their stand/view regarding cryptocurrencies if you do not visit your local boards for the latest news.


If a specific language is not included in the forum's local board, I think they can suggest theymos in creating such. If not, then there is always the board of "BTC DISCUSSION" where english is the main language used!

Which languages do you prefer? If your English is good and you can communicate in it better, you can post on most of the boards here. However, if you prefer to speak your local language, the local councils are designated for that. If you do not find your local council, you can create a porridge in your local language and it will be transferred to the Other Languages section. So it is related to communication and who can communicate with you and understand you.

Newbies come here from the overwhelming information into different threads and boards, and as make them help and people who can relate to them is of course the people who are in the same country that's what the local board is, came into a place without too much confident and afraid to different things is normal and with the help of you know a fellow country men you can open up those things you've been wondering, doubt, question and etc freely without hesitation that's why its good if your local board is active and helpful to each other with their concerns.

This forum is just a place for you to learn, so if you find almost all what you need that is all the information you want from even a board there is not necessity for you to leave there except you wish. For example you speak only the Russian local board language and you are get all your info from there, there is no need to move. Moving to a different board in the forum in which the language use there is the one you’re not familiar with is definitely not advisable because you will only be stressing yourself more and this could even lead you to the use of translators and this is bad and against the forum rules which is somewhat considered plagiarism and could lead to ban.

So do not leave the board to that which you can’t understand or pass information on, even if it is a single thread that gets you what you want stick there. There is no rule to be everywhere even on the general board in the forum

It's not compulsory to identify with your local board, you've have the choice whether or not to interact in your LB.


The primary aim of the LB is to help or carry along individuals who are not fluent in english in the discussions on the main board like Bitcoin Discussion, Beginners & Help etc. Also, it's an opportunity for persons who live outside the country to be able interact with their local community and know what's happening in the country. You can talk on anything but discussions are mainly centered on cryptocurrency, security, privacy and national issues.

Now I understand it is optional to identify in your individual local board. I have just a question to ask. If a person is not fluent in speaking good English on the general boards will they have to remain only on their local board for the rest of their time or years spent in the forum? Is there any consequences for bad English and comments on other general board that the message is not being conveyed to other. Perhaps someone writing a topic that the other members can’t read it or relate with it because of errors in spellings and grammatical functions

No, there is no law that states members have to identify with a local board or make discussions there. However there is a rule that prohibits users using translators to communicate in local boards that aren’t originally theirs.

Local boards are sub communities in the forum where individuals from the same country can connect and communicate with each other in their native language. Topics in local boards are usually discussions that are specific to the people in that region.
For those who do not have a local board yet, they can create a thread in other languages if they don’t already have one. Until a year ago, my local board didn’t exist and we made use of what was available. And also pushed for a local board of our own. Thankfully Theymos granted our request for a local board.

No. Ain't nobody gonna compel you to write on local boards. You could decide if you don't want to.. _{afterall, I don't even post in there...I barely do so}.
detailed aim? It's basically for identification and closeness.. example, we've got some members in the forum passed away - how's everyone gonna know this? The deceased family member could pass an information through the local section and that's it... Maybe any donations? Maybe not... Depends on your countryman!
Again, it's not necessary!
Edit: do you speak English fluently?

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

NO, You might be from a local board and decide not to post on the board. It's not mandatory for anyone to post on the local board, it's a choice. If you wish to be active on your local board, that's fine. Everyone has the right to post anywhere they like, so it's not mandatory to post on any particular board. Some people might not be posting frequently on the local board, and some might once be active and decide to stop posting on their local board.

The local board is just to spread bitcoin knowledge to different localities, and if you are joining the forum and you are not from an English-speaking country, you can easily visit your local board to make your communication and learning easier. Some people prefer to learn in their local language or understand things more easily in their local language. I guess that's one of the reasons the local board was created.

A local board is just a section in the forum, and if your local board is not available, then there are other sections that you can post in. A few local boards are available here, but that doesn't mean if your local board is not available, you shouldn't learn from other sections in which English is spoken.

OP Just as you note that other boards have their own little review of what purpose they serve, and with what Zaguru12 has also explained, if you identify with your local board, maybe that's when you will properly understand some teachings about Bitcoin, probably because it was explained in a language that you understand better. To me, it's about language. There are some people who find it very difficult to understand simple English, but once you write in their language, they will have a better understanding. Also, if you are more educated about Bitcoin, you never knew who you might help to explain things in the language they will understand better.

Local boards are there to help the local languages, it's not because other languages are considered to be local but because there are certain group of people from other part of the world that don't speak English language and the forum by default is English format, so there is need for these other languages that speak their native as official language to help understand what is  happening in the Forum.


Not necessary but if you know how to speak English language and know much about bitcoin but your local language don't understand some aspect of bitcoin, wouldn't that be concerning to ignore them when you can just help them out. It's not compulsory but your presence will help grow the local board.


Local board are just sub board of what is happening at the upper level of the forum, some have it's sub board while some don't, they use general thread for discussion, it's just like using the main forum but in your local language.


Not necessary but as I said earlier, it will help grow your local in the Forum and if your board is not available, there are other languages/location where you can create unofficial thread for your local language to communicate with eachother and discuss bitcoin and other related stuff.

This is not necessary as many users don’t communicate in their local boards in the forum even when their local boards is available in the forum. It is not compulsory to do that, it’s your choice to decide whether to do that or not. There’s no rule in the forum that says that.


Local Boards are created for users to get familiar with their people. Some informations that are regarding a particular local community is best suited there than the general board that is why they are more needed there than the general board. Any thread that is informative and beneficial to the local board can be posted there.


Local boards created needs constant engagement there. I think for those boards that don’t have a local board, they don’t have enough users in the forum to engage there more often which will make the board dormant that’s why they don’t have one. 

There are also local boards with such topics but not all. Like altcoins which also present in our local boards. The fiscussion on local is helping other newbies to overcome language barrier especially if they arent proficient on the language they are using. Most newbies are gonna do local rather than english since they understand much the discussion on their local.

No it is not necessary, it is a matter of choice for those that understands English Language and can catch up fast in learning on the general board. For those that are not too good with English Language, the local board will be helpful because they can learn and communicate in their local language for proper understanding on whatever that they want know or discuss.

I love the local board even though I can do without it, but the local board make you to know people from your locality so that you can encourage one another, and if possible meet with each other base on an event that is worth going

Important threads on general board that are very useful to help beginners  and other high ranks members can be translated in your local language and posted there. Bitcoin discussion should be the most discussed and if other discussion like politics and issues in that country can also be discussed. But if my own understanding it is the general board but the difference is that you use your local language.



If you country is not on the forum home page, you can look for your country here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=11.0

Did you know that some people find it difficult to understand if it weren't for the local board? The local board was established to help forum members, particularly those who don't speak English well. It also serves as a place where you can learn some new skills and discover the language of the nation you are in. Local boards have been very helpful to many members of the forum, particularly the newcomers who find it difficult to get started. What I'm trying to say is that because local boards are used in other languages, many people are able to understand the forum, which is why I didn't mean to imply that local boards are essential to the forum or that they are something that members of the forum must have.

There are some people that got registered to the forum but find it difficult to adapt here and enjoy a good interaction and communication because they probably find it difficult to write in English which is the general language of communication in the forum so locating the local board by the forum member will help the person to enjoy good communication with his people especially if the language is written wirh the local dialect of the member and it will also help the user to identity with his people and learn from them so that it will be easier for such person to now use the forum without fear since he has gotten a little hint about the forum from his people.

The local board also help users  to grow faster hence their efforts will be appreciated by his people since they understand his local language better and seeing that the user teaches what is beneficial to them they will not hesitate to encourage the user by helping him or her to get to the next rank since the person is helpful with food informations.

No, it is not necessary, its totally up to you whether you make posts there or engage with them or not, nothing bad will happen to you but for a newbie, it is good to be with local members because local members will support you in the context of merits and knowledge, they will help you rank directly by giving you merits and indirectly by giving you knowledge and by using that knowledge you can rank fast. Because the more you will contribute here the more you will get rank.
The best answer is to keep relevant to the forum because sharing off topics on your local board might not be restricted but for the overall reputation of your LB, it might show spam, so all the topics that you will create should be relevant to the crypto or any local problems related to crypto, but you can talk about other things if your community encourages that.
They can't take part in the local board, US doesn't have any local board here, and many other people don't have any local board even though we don't have any local board but we have a topic that is just like this topic you have created and we are making post under that topic like replies, we have submitted a request for a board which is on pending, we might get one soon. Insha Allah.

you don't have to if you don't want to or you don't see the need to do it. that being said, if you are interested in discussing crypto events that are happening in your country your local board is the best place to discuss it.

I think each local board's aim is the same thing, it is to discuss any type of crypto-related things in their country or sometimes just random things that they are interested in.

it is not necessary to participate on a local board and those who do not have a local board yet can create a "local thread" where they can discuss crypto-related things in their country, if they want a local board they can request one but they need their local thread to become active enough for theymos to approve it to become a local board.

It is necessary and also important but not mandatory, the purpose for local board is to avoid language barrier as to those whose official languages are not taught in English and wish to participate in adopting bitcoin and join in it's discussion, this will serve as an avenue for them to learn or contribute along in the language they best understand.


Check through the above replies including mine, then also go through each local board, check the single one which you belong and read through their sub boards title and fix in your post where appropriate.


Nothing happens, that's why English is the common spoken language globally.

Yes it is necessary being in an identified (yours) local board because with one major reason that discussions are opened to be communicated using its local languages meanwhile the use of English language is not exceptional.
Moreso, the essential reasons for the local boards is that communications are easy to be passed and understood considering the nature of your you are natively brought up as a matter of culturals and believes that is pointed at oneness in individual possessions.

In the local boards, local threads can be compatibly discussed amongst the local members without disturbing other members of different identities in our differences of senses oh humors.

The local board is best suit for the lazy more of the cultural adaptors and the local beginners at where they feels relaxed with their local communication languages.

Other necessity of the local boards is that beginners or participants contributions are likely tolerating because it feels a brotherhood though all rights are limited.

There are some of the Local Boards with sub boards where topics are discussed according to the differences of the sub boards in the same local board. This is to limit flooding the entire local board with unrelated topics that members are not interested about.

This has made some local boards that doesn't have the childs sub boards to make request if they can be provided with it.
Example is my local board which is "Naija" local board where we are in request if the authorities could grant us the request of having the above mentioned child's board in other for members to be specific of what topics are discussed or brought about in each boards instead of the randoms.
These are >>>
* Naija politics and societies

* Economy

* Off topics.
This is so we can achieve the purpose of being in this forum as a prior to Bitcoin discussions because it was being overwhelming where non Bitcoin related discussions is being more than that the priority of the boards.
Interested one could read further through the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php? topic=5472580.msg63093506#msg63093506 .
It was made an English discussion which everyone may be comfortable to flow along

I think the local boards are are approved or created dependently about the volumes rate of Bitcoin owners and  also considering the volume rate of investors who are participating in the forum here on Bitcoin discuss

Beginners and Help is also spelt out. That's why this board should be the first board that a newbie should visit when he/she needs help understanding something, for clarification and to learn. There's also meta if it is about the forum and other similar topics. Well, it is not compulsory to visit this board because as you may have known is that there are other alternative ways to become knowledgeable about this forum and also in crypto.

Yes, it's if necessity though it's not compulsory neither are you doing anything wrong if you chose to stay afar and watch how things unfold there. I trust the reason local boards had to be created is to give everyone an identity, and people will feel better to freely share and make certain discussions they ordinarily won't be moved to discuss about in the general boards as they may not be understood well enough in manner a fellow from same nationality/language will.

  What other aim should be in the local board than talk bitcoin related issues, and discussions as it affect their nationality.

  It should interest you to know that the first local board to be created in the forum is the Russian LB.

Local board mustn't be named after your specific country, in as much as you can understand the language or you share same/similar language you can be part of that LB. Take the Nigeria (Naija) LB for instance, we don't only have Nigerians there even forum members from other African countries are a part and parcel of the Naija LB community.

Locals are I think the sections of the Forum you would go if you wanted to help local people out, discuss with them or if you do not know English very well.

The Russian Local is very active and popular and I presume one of the reasons is a lot of the Members over there lack a profound understanding and knowledge of English.  Which is completely fine and normal.  The point is they will not be able to participate on Bitcoin Talk if they do not have a section particularly created for their local language.

As for the topics.  I do not think there are 'better' topics than others.  Maybe if you consider helpful topics like guides and such over classic topics like discussions.  But for a healthy community there is an equal need of both helpful topics and discussions.

Other than popularity and activity there is no difference between English and Local boards.  Locals are just that.  A place to discuss in the language you know best.

Local board is just a place where people from a particular country come together to connect and share information amongst themselves in their own native language. It helps others to know that a particular country has active bitcoiners in their region though the main aim is educate themselves about bitcoin just as in the main board and other things going on in their country.

The English used on the main board is just one of many languages spoken around the world; since English is not a universal language, not everyone will be able to understand it. For this reason, the forum has made the local boards available to help everyone along the way so that we can all participate in the forum and exchange knowledge. It is vital for non-native English speakers to identify their local board in order to participate in discussions if they find it difficult to understand the Main boards language although it is not mandated for them to do so. It's okay if you feel comfortable participating on the main board, but it's also cool if you want to join the local board. Just keep in mind that joining your local board is advantageous for you as well as no knowledge is wasted because sharing your skills and knowledge with others will help the board and, regardless of your level of understanding, you might learn something new.

It is advantageous to identify in your local board, although it is not compulsory.  It is, however, a matter of choice; some people do not want to be identified as being from a specific country, so they do not participate. I believe there are some people who participate in discussions on another local board because they understand the language spoken there, but doing so requires you to follow the local board's regulations.

Since the local board is a sub-board of the forum itself, its goals are the same as those of the main board, which is to discuss and promote bitcoin. The language barrier is the only difference.

Participation in local boards is not compulsory. Those whose local board is not in the forum are limited to the main board if they are not familiar with any local language used in local boards. However, if they are, they are welcome to join in and share their expertise with others there.

Its good to identify since you can talk about crypto related happenings especially in your country.


Local board created so that bitcoin and crypto user can easily understand the discussion ongoing since they are talking on their native language, that's why many people go on those boards since they can easily gather information without thinking about the deep meaning especially if they are not native English speakers.


No, you don't need to participate on any discussion if you don't like to do it. We are free to decide for ourselves here and you can't push yourself to go there especially if you didn't like what you see on your local board since it could just waste your time to participate on nonsense discussions.

Also if there's no local board exist for their country they could request the administrator to make this happen but its a long process and they need to see that many people want this to happen so they can grant this local board addition request.

Posting on your local board is not compulsory neither is it necessary. There are a million and one people here that have been here for years and are not posting on their local board but they have been making ways for themselves all these while. Some people I guess do not want to identify with their local board as a result of being anonymous and wanting to maintain their privacy here as a result of the mode of work here.

However, as it is not compulsory that one must identify with their local board, there are some possible other engagements one could be able to benefit from and they have been mentioned already by other members here. Brainstorming of ideas, helping each other to solving problems, talking of their country's involvement in bitcoin and lots more. I think these can be a way forward for the local boards.

I think one of the major reasons why local board was created was for language barrier in communication. People or countries who can not speak or write English since it is the universal language here can easily get involved in bitcoin discussion conversations among themselves with those who knows English to educate and enlighten them more about bitcoin within their local board in their own local language for them to understand properly.

1. It is not a necessity on the forum that you must participate in your local board because it is just another board or sub-board in the forum like any other. But it is of great impact to anyone who participate in the local board. Not only is it impactful, it is also interesting and fun as you will be in pace with the current situations and realities that are peculiar to your language and country.

The advantage of this goes beyond just learning but also gives you the oppotunity and platform to teach others in the community and keep youtself enlightened about bitcoin and other related and non-related topics within your location.

2. I dont think there’s any spelt out aims to engage in your local boards. However, the broader objectives of participating in your local board is not far fetched from the reasons I mentioned above. Which is invariably to solve problems peculiar to your location, bring up brainstorming ideas and join other life related conversations.

3. This question has been answered here by a member above so I don’t need to answer it again.

As a newbie it is good to ask questions like this so you can help inform other newbies eager to know why the loca boards exist.

Well done!

Not necessary. Some people or account may not post on their local board. But if they like, they can be posting there. It is a matter of choice. Some people may prefer privacy and not let anyone know the country they come from.

If you want to know the kind of topics needed in a local board, you have to visit some local board to see how it is. I will say it can be any topic. It can be a topic that they are discussing on the English board or the topic can be about what is going on in their country.

He will not participate in local board activities but continue to post good and earn merit.

I think the local board was created to make life easier for forum members, not to complicate things. In my opinion, there's no strict obligation to be active there, but getting involved can be beneficial. You'll have the chance to meet local acquaintances and converse in your native language. As for your second question, the answer will likely become clear once you engage in the local board. You'll see how it's organized and what discussions are happening. Even if your local board isn't on the forum, you can still contribute to the global discussions. You might also consider suggesting the idea of a local board to the admins. It's all about finding ways to connect with others and make the most of the community.

If Cryptocurrency is legal in your country, and there's a lot of things going on in your country that are related to Cryptocurrency, then its worth participating in the local board to show to everybody how robust your local board is


It's a local board anything that is related to news about Cryptocurrency in your country is worth discussing, it could be about your experience, your local exchange, or your government actions just anything about that is related to Cryptocurrency and what the moderators of your local board impose on the board.


You can request the administrator to have a local board for your country or you can check the other
languages/locations

There are tons of reasons why localized boards are very important especially for an international community like bitcointalk and I have highlighted two of those reasons below:

• Local board provides localized environment for users in the same region to communicate better and more comfortably in their local languages at will. It's not all discussions that are suitable for the international boards as some of such discussion are relevant to bitcoin (or altcoins) but only important for very specific regions. Now, such discussions are better made in a local board.
• It makes it easier to onboard new people. According to research, people communicate better in their natural language and when in a community of people who have similar cultures as themselves — hence why most people just prefer to remain active in their local community vs the wider bitcointalk community

I think the importance of the local board is to identify people from same country that are in this community and also to bring problems, help and solutions closer to each other. The local board has really aided alot of us here as we can interact with each other and explain things in a language that we can comprehend so easily. I think the creation of the local board have really aided this community alot as it is very easy to identify people that are in same space with you from the same country and has also helped in giving more understanding about things that are being discussed in the forum closer through the local board members.

If you happen to not see a local board for your country, you may try to find it to the sub board: Other languages/location.

It is not necessary for users to be identified of from which they belong. Moreover, you can participate to any local boards provided that you follow their rules and guidelines.

It is not required for everyone to participate in the local board board discussions but it would be nice if the local board is actively discussing things.  I believe the board is created to cater local bitcoin news discussions and enable to those who have difficulty in understanding english to participate using their local language.


It is not necessary to participate in the activity of the local board, those member who don't have their own local board yet, they can participate in the global discussion but make sure to use English as it is the required language to use or they can request for their own local sub-board and wait for it to be approved.

The local board is just a sub board with different language used to the Main board, just to make the forum more easy or accommodating to members who aren’t familiar with the main board’s language (English) or aren’t fluent with it and nothing more. It is not necessary to be identified in your local board if you feel you have everything that you need in the main board. But basically it is good to engage in your local board because you might actually be helping others with the bitcoin knowledge they seek and that is the sole purpose of the forum. Also engaging in your local board exposes you to information regarding that local board’s country.

Local board isn’t necessarily about each country but about language so when you have a local board that used the language of your country then it becomes your local board. If there is none then you and other members of same language can request for local board ( although it is not easily accepted)

Fom the way all the boards in the forum is structured, i understand that each of them Is designed to serve a particular purpose and that some of the board in the forum is for administrator and some, for  particular ranked users. It's easy to know that as a beginner, one should look out for threads in the beginners and help board because it will obviously give the user the necessary knowledge and guidance on how to scale through the forum and on how to deal with general bitcoin issues. Other boards like the economy, general discussion, gambling, altcoin etc is well spelt out and one can easily know why it is necessary to participate and identify in these boards discussions but my question is with regard to the local board.

1. Is it necessary for everyone to identify with their local boards and participate in the board discussions?
2. I would love to get a detailed aim For each of the local board and also know the kind of thread that's best to be created in the local board.
3. If it's necessary to participate in the activity of the local board, what happens to the people whose local board is not in the forum.
