Topic: What type of posts should a newbie post? (Read 379 times)

Have you understood prolly the essence of this great forum or Bitcoin itself?? I don't think you have... As a newbie, you cannot write what you don't even have any clue about, so why bother?
Look up for meanings to certain terminologies you find in here: read FAQs and Threads for beginners in here.. they'll certainly guide you on realizing your purpose in here.
Secondly, don't always be in a haste to post ... Read the web and also make sure to read bitcoin.org for an illustrious definition of Bitcoin and how the whole system works.. you'll certainly know what to post from there.
The old man is right!

Dear OP as a fellow newbie I'd advise to stick to reading post and engaging in the comment sections than making actually posts.

Sure you should make valuable posts once in a while but they should be more or questions or discussions than teaching. That's a mistake I made when I joined the forum. Stick to this and you'll be golden .

Well one tip is to avoid starting threads and posting to keep asking the same question. I looked through your history to see if I could encourage you by meriting one of your posts, but you don't seem to be contributing to any discussions.

You are correct mate, as a matter of fact, thread of inquiries is very important as it bothers a question and answer conversation between members guiding a newbie to scale through onboard this platform.
Newbies on their own have roles to play in reading through to getting knowledge about the platform which keeps their knowledge enlightened about how things are done on this platform.

I think you should be careful before posting here to always ask questions here that are related to this platform. If you have to answer someone, always be polite and never use hateful words. Avoid discussing a topic if you don't know about it.Always try to give useful information and try to get good and useful advice from here.Here always try to ask questions in simple and easy words so that others can easily understand, So that you can get the results you want.Always express your views, Reading other people's posts and changing words is strictly prohibited here.

Why every Newbie thinks he has to need to write something on the forum, while on the other hand most completely neglect what is much more important, which is to start reading the rules and the sticky topics. What I'm saying is that there are already adequate answers to every such question, and if they are asked indefinitely, it's just a waste of time for all of us.

I think you're asking too much, but if nothing else, at least you've tried

I guess you have gotten the answer you needed just go ahead to lock the thread, i belive you know how to go about that, if nope, just scroll all the way down on this topic and you should see LOCK TOPIC at the right hand corner of the post. you are welcome

I don't want to discourage you, but my experience is that those who try to find for themselves and even more so for such simple things usually have a better future in this forum than those who wait for it to be served to them on a platter. Try to use the forum to learn and share experiences and knowledge and that's it. You'll learn as you go along.

If you are confused by your thoughts, you better read the rules in this forum, because by reading these rules, I'm sure the confusion you have now will be answered. After all, maybe you already know that this forum has a focus on chat or discussion about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. So what you have to post on this forum, of course, most of it has to be about crypto and all its ins and outs. So that's all you should be referring to first, although there are other boards dealing with economics, politics, gambling, and other topics. But I suggest you better focus first on discussing crypto, and for other topics let it flow. Because the longer you stay in this forum, and are willing to learn, all the topics or discussions you will definitely understand.

But if you are still confused about all the rules written on this forum and about my explanation, you can see the posts of other members in this forum, whose ratings are already very high, you can continue to study and observe so that you understand and understand.

And one more thing, don't feel too pressured by the name of making a post. If you haven't been able to post something in this forum, just read the posts and replies in this forum first. Don't be too hasty, because this is a discussion forum, because being a reader first is also not a problem, even in my opinion it will be very good, when you one day express your opinion in this forum and it will definitely be good for your knowledge.

I guess you have already receive more than enough advice that should get you started but let me add some that I feel will also be useful to you to some extent.

As a newbie I'm sure you'll come accross so manny threads that you have no clue of waht discussion is going on there, my advice is that you take it up to yourself to do some research and learn more on that topic, you might nit get the chance to add to the thred but still just learn it because there is a 80% chance that such type of tthread will be created again in the future and by that you'll something to contribute to the topic, I learnt this from some reputable members in my local board. And that reminds me if you're yet to locate you local board do well to locate it and I'm sure they'll be more than happy to have you in their midst.
Btw, Welcome to bitcointalk.

It is not forbidden to create a thread that inquires an important topic that may help other newbies in their participation in the forum.  Aside from the guideline given on the earlier replies and the Newbie Guideline pinned thread, it is a good thing that you read and understand the topic of the thread, try to browse the replies and see if your thought is already been stated by the earlier reply, and if your thought is already stated, you can either agree with the thought giving your own version and your own example of the reply since answer maybe the same but they have different example that strengthen the impact of the given replies. You can always search the internet if ever you have doubt about the replies and correct them with your own information supported by the fact stated on the internet.

Another thing, don't be rush in answering threads, often times misreading happen resulting in your reply going out of topic.

Welcome to the forum. First, avoid this type of post when you can see what to do, and don't ask for help by opening a new thread. Look for the answer and search for the topic that clarifies your question.

A good way to start would be to apply your real world expertise that can be related to Bitcoin. If you know about economics, post about the relationship between the economy and Bitcoin. If you know about cybersecurity, discuss threats to Bitcoin users.

However, I think your question has a flaw. If you already know what to post, you wouldn't ask it. And if you don't know, then it means you have nothing to say to this forum. If you are forcing yourself to write posts, then you are wasting your time.

The forum rules are official even though you can see in the thread title that it is official unofficial forum Bitcointalk forum rules but it is what many forum members have followed and some forum members breaking the rules (forum members that got banned and red trusted). Best guide that a newbie can get is to follow what other forum members have given like you must follow the forum rules, read different topics (threads), learn how to post high quality posts, how to properly quote a post and many more.

The best guide you can possibly get is by the rules of the forum, but the official and that of the unofficial ones. Because no one is going to hold your hand and help you walk around the forum teaching you like a kid learning how to write ABCD. You just have to man up your self, learning is a gradual process and with time you will familiarize your self with the things of the forum.


Maybe the OP might possibility be the first Mayor of Ogba land possibly taking things out from the kingship ruling kind of thing to the city boys doings.

It doesn't matter what post as long as the quality of post is not low quality or spam posts then your good to go even if you are a newbie. The topic should be what you know instead of posting what you didn't know unless you are sharing a news or an article you found but make sure you include the link as reference so that you won't plagiarized the content of the article and won't get banned here in the forum because that's one of the forum rules.

As I'm seeing that already many peoples are mention some important Thread link on above. Now as a newbie your primary task is to visit those threads, read all the rules and follow them.
-Then what I would personally suggest you after reading those threads, explore to learn about the things you don't understand and the things you don't know, and if you still don't get the solution, then ask on the Beginners & Help board. I hope you find the solution here. will get.
-And lastly I will say forum explore to increase knowledge in this field explore Meta Board to gain good knowledge about forum and get familiar with different tools of forum.
-And if you have any skill then you can go to the service board and open your own service thread and offer your service there.

Make posts about:
bitcoin news and recent happenings
Trading - share your experiences and ask questions.
Economics -  share the latest happening in the economy of your country, the world in general. Make reference to bitcoin; compare and contrast. finance, the world of work. Share ideas, critique and so on.

Beginners and Help: As the silly and non silly questions about bitcoin, the forum here.
Gambling: Add your voice to on going sports and casino discussions.

In all that you do, stay original with your ideas and respectful of others too.

From the name you seems to be a Nigerian and for that I always advise them to stick within the community (Localboard) to be more guided by some reputable members before you may start posting what is not in line with the forum rules and regulation. There are lot of experience fellow over there, why not be around there and be familiar with whole concepts before going round the forum because i believe they have many newbies over there that are gradually coming up. Hence the above links and details shared with are what you need to read and understand how the forum function.

That reminds me, In Ogba they don't have a mayor rather the have an Oba who is the ruler of Ogba kindred, exclusively from Egi land which they had their own Eze-Egi now moved to Erema Community.
