Topic: Why newbies get banned (Read 1238 times)
I would say to the newbies, don't rush and learn to explore forum at first. Follow each board carefully. The forum will not generate any money. Anyone who thinks this is a source of income would be mistaken. So those who have come up with this idea, shake this idea from your head. And try to make yourself efficient and competent. Educate yourself on any topic in the forum. Try to improve the forum and try to improve yourself by using your skills.
If a user copies someone else's post exactly or if a user posts AI and for some reason does not add the source link, then there is a possibility that his account will be banned.
You are right about copy-pasted content, but as far as I know, people don't get banned for posting AI-generated content, it is just that it is frowned upon and disliked and one might even get a negative trust score from DT members if they are found using AI-generated content because there is still no official rule against this by the admin and until then, people will only get tagged for making this offense but will not get banned. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.
That being said, most newbies barely read the rules of the forum before they start making posts and engaging in the forum which is why they violate the rules and then get banned. I have seen a lot of newbies making repeated replies in a thread, there are two probable reasons for that, first is they don't know it's against the rules, the second is they don't know how they can include all the quotes in one post and reply to all of them at once.
Getting account banned is not different for newbies or experts but there are some common mistakes that can get anyone's account banned anytime. Accounts that are warned more than once are banned in most cases.

Most of the banned accounts are actually newbie accounts or lower ranked accounts. This does not mean that only newbies commit plagiarism and neither does it mean that only newbies spam. Why the number of banned newbies exceeds that of other members is because moderators focus more on newbie accounts. This could be because it is assumed that they know nothing about the forum and maybe about cryptocurrency at large. This is why newbies need to remain calm until they attain a certain height and knowledge in the forum.

If they lack some rules in the forum it can result to such punishment because, if you understand all the rules in the forum and start following the rules in any step you take you will never get banned from the forum because you are doing the right thing.
If you lack mentor in your beginning you can experience banned from the forum but if you have someone who always impact you some things about the forum on where to post and not to post as a newbies you will not find yourself banned from the forum. There are some senior members who are banned too from the forum for disobey some rules because, they thought such offense will not result to such action in the forum.
Those affected by the ban certainly have made mistakes, because there are no users who are banned by the forum if they don't make any mistakes here. This is why every user of the forum must comply with all existing rules so that there are no errors and prohibitions that we receive from the forum, so this is actually very simple for many users to understand as long as we all take the time to read and understand it well. Because every action received by all users certainly refers to what they do here. If you lack mentor in your beginning you can experience banned from the forum but if you have someone who always impact you some things about the forum on where to post and not to post as a newbies you will not find yourself banned from the forum.

Many reasons is not far from afar mentioned as allot of reasons is already stated, but I will say that what make newbie ban is the poor orientation to who ever introduced them and the conceive idea such as taking the forum as place of quick to get rich, also engagement of several task such as mining shiltcoin, altcoin plus other social activities and running all daily life requirements limit then to focus and do the right thing rather than coping and paste. One thing I identify about them is in ability to know existing topic on the forum as they prompts repeating existing topic and the mind set of them copying or changing someone topics that is merited can also usher them room to get topic.
As much one can't give what you don't have, creating topic as newbie normally rush after creating new topic as they believe their getting merit will come through the number of topic they created leads to spamming and the plagerism. Conclusively orientation or coach master matters allot even if one don't have coach paying attention to detail is always a key to succeed.

According to @cantsay, sticking to beginners and help does not release you from a ban if you actually broke a rule because for every newbie who enters the forum is expected to go through the rules to avoid "I wasn't aware".
It would be a plus to you as a newbie of you are able to spread your tentacles to every board and the key to staying afloat is reading and taking corrections.

The first thing any newbie should do is read the forum's rules and regulations. This is because, regardless of how intelligent the newbie is, if they are unaware of the guidelines, they will not be able to learn or achieve what they want to in the forum, in anything, or in any organisation they join today. The first thing a new member should be aware of is the forum's rules, as you should avoid becoming a victim there. However, a lot of new members these days join without considering the rules, which I believe is the fault of the people who introduce them to the site, as you should always tell someone everything about it if you want to inform them.
I've seen someone complaining that his account was banned twice, and I have to tell him that there was something he did that caused the ban. Your account will never be banned for no reason at all, so as a new member, reading the forum rules and asking questions based on what you don't understand or know is the best thing you can do to both stop your account from being banned and also get help.
The endless possibilities around Bitcointalk community can't be over looked, I found the community to be a place specially made for business wise and mindset alike, So much has been discussed already and i advice all newbie's like my humble self to highly get involved and learn as much as possible.
During the past few days, i've come to realized that over zealousness to get recognized in the platform is leading most newbies toward destructions. With the recent compiling list of banned account i found on the platform, i could only wish. That those newbies really takes out time to study and stay banned free.
With the subject matter above, Instead of chasing recognization, my advice to newbies is to get acquainted with the platform. Educate your self in some certain areas and topics. This is necessary for daily improvement and investment growth. Do not rush, take it a step at a time, by so doing the recognition you chase will be placed before you.
I recommend all newbies to stick with this beginner and help sections for days before thinking of other sections of the platform, By so doing. You gradually become a pro in your area of specialization.

You nailed it my brother/sister. But you talking about being banned because of zealousness, I don't think that's encouraging because every human being who wants to grow or learn must posse that characteristics. I can tell for sure that in one way or the other when you first entered this forum you once look for recognition which almost everybody did when they first entered the forum and looking for recognition is not a bad thing at all but what is bad is the rate at which one look for it.
There is no favoritism towards anyone regardless of rank. Banned is not only for newbies, users with higher ranks cannot be separated from this frightening punishment.
Of course, I'm not a moderator and I don't have statistics, but usually newbies get banned on most forums more often, but not because someone especially dislikes newbies. It's just that all sorts of spammers and other violators often start right away with some kind of violations, and get banned very quickly. If a person does not immediately try to do something wrong, then what is the point of being afraid of a ban?
And if a person has been actively communicating on the forum for a long time, growing in ranks, then usually he begins to understand how things are done on the forum, what is right and what is wrong. And therefore, users with high ranks are expected to be banned less often. But not because of some special favoritism, but because of the fact that they don't break the rules as often.
I'm probably old-school, participated in online discussions in BBS, newsgroups, mailing lists when the Internet wasn't yet evolved as it is today. Remember Netscape browser and when WWW started? I don't want and shouldn't judge others by my own standards. For me a forum is a place to read, discuss, share knowledge about topics I'm interested in. Don't plagiarize, don't post bullshit or unconfirmed things you've stumbled over at some other shady places, express your own words and thoughts and check your facts.
That's basically it for me and just don't be a dick (or pussy). Behave and treat other forum members as you want to be treated yourself, well, except for trolls. Don't feed trolls, just ignore them, they eventually starve from no interaction with 'em.

Bitcointalk is just like every other online social media platform, only that it is crypto-centred. As a newbie you just need to interact, read and grow in knowledge. You don't need to put your self in an unnecessary pressure. In an attempt to get ranked up quickly, some newbies make mistakes like spamming, plagiarism, and using AI generated contents. The forum has laid down rules and guidelines that every member must adhere to and anyone that breaches any of these rules will face the consequences. The beginners and help board is a great place to start and persons that are not fluent in english language can stick with their local board and avoid getting themselves in trouble.
As a newbie in trading or forums, I do advise to understand fundamental and technical analysis, risk management, and trading strategies. Focus on a the forum updated posting and try to grow their skill about the cryptos y to develop expertise instead of criticism or wasting your time in useless discussions Control your emotions and avoid impulsive decisions. Stay updated with market news and trends. Join trading forums and groups to get advice from seasoned traders and to ask questions. Keep in mind that the keys to trading success are patience and learning. so, Don't be stick yourself at spot point.

Newbies just need to know and follow the forum rule in order to avoid being banned. Staying in the beginners and help sections will hinder their growth since most of the important technical information is on the other board.
Aside from that not all newbies are here to learn about Bitcoin, others are here to merchandise their service so it will be a huge loss for them if they stay in the beginners help when the information they need is on the economy board.
You did a great job mate and one funny thing is that most see the forum as a very difficult place that they wouldn't survive and I was also a typical example of such a person who thought the forum was a very difficult task but got to know that all I need to do was discuss and talk about the area of technology and bitcoin I'm good at.
Quest for merits and rank up to start earning from signature campaigns has lead alotnof people to spamming the board and getting their accounts into some sort of mess and that is why I've always talked about people making quality over quantity post and it will be a very great idea if the thread has both quality and quantity.

The first thing that becomes the foundation is to understand and apply all the rules in this Forum. The forum rules are clear, every member who joins must follow the characteristics of the forum. Even though the BTT Forum is open to anyone who wants to join, it cannot be separated from the rules that must be obeyed to exist here. There is no favoritism towards anyone regardless of rank. Banned is not only for newbies, users with higher ranks cannot be separated from this frightening punishment.
So don't take a ban as a threat, but it is the most likely consequence in users who commit serious violations. So I don't think you and anyone need to be afraid when you don't commit an offense.
Many beginners come to this forum and don't read the rules first, so many posts that should be clear are asked again. this happens over and over again. All help can be searched, they forgot the search feature is still there in this forum.
The newbie who got banned must complain and say that this forum is too strict, even though he is the one who doesn't understand the forum rules.
They come to this forum because they are interested in bitcoin and also because they want to get strong and set aside the rules.

Newbies who have just joined need to be equipped with the intention to move forward and try to stay consistent by following all the rules in the forum. One of the many reasons that make newbies willing to set aside the rules because the motivation is to immediately promote to a higher rank, maybe they are tempted by the success of seniors who have been accepted in the Bitcoin paid signature campaign.
Newbies must be able to maintain their reputation from the first time they join, before reaching higher dreams, they must focus on increasing their knowledge in order to achieve their goals.
A lot of newbies generally think that Bitcointalk is some complex platform that you really need to study; but in fact, no — you really don't need to know the deep ins and outs of Bitcointalk. You simply just need to not spam and to not plagiarize, and you'll be totally fine.
^What's far more important is your knowledge with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. Bitcointalk is just an online forum just like any other online forum. You can go as deep as understanding the forum's software code but it would be useless if you don't know crap about Bitcoin/crypto.
Exactly, is not till you fully understand bitcoin. Just be careful to prevent plagiarism, spamming, and other forms of infringement. Also, while responding to a topic, make sure your reaction is in line with what the topic is stating. Avoid breaking the laws and regulations, be sure to read the rules thoroughly and appropriately, and make sure you take advantage of the forum to study and learn a lot. ^What's far more important is your knowledge with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general.

Amazing, I just realized irrespective of the rank, an account can still be banned if found guilty of breaking any of the forums rules, To be honest, this is fair enough, I think this is credible per say, there's simply no cheating of any such, nor protective services for higher rank members for breaking rules, this will encourage everyone to be serious with their activities as well as duel diligent research before posting
Yes, an account of any rank can be banned if they are caught plagiarising or spreading malware. But mind you that every decision made by the moderators are handled on a case by case basis, meaning a user might not be banned (or may be unbanned after initially being banned) because of their contribution (not necessarily rank) to the forum, such users are net positive to the forum and they might likely be giving another chance than a user that's a spammer. Having said that, there are other factors that could get a user's ban overturned, such as: having plagiarised just once, unintentional plagiarism, no intention to earn or boost activity score with the copy/pasted content, etc, but overall it is a better decision not to plaiarise at all. Just to get a quick sense of the ranks of recently banned accounts, I’ve taken a look at those banned over the last 4 weeks or so, making it 154 accounts. Those accounts correspond to the following ranks:
Note:
Brand New accounts on the above list are likely Nuked accounts. Nuking an account deletes all the account’s posts in the process.
I belive it can only apply to accounts with less that 30 Activity points (not 100% sure), but not all banned accounts with less than 30 Activity points are necessarily nuked (I've seen a bunch of counterexamples).

Now the above is just a sample over a set of over 305K accounts (possibly incomplete) that have been banned at some point. The numbers obviously do not depict the motive, but it’s a small window into how banning is in terms of numbers nowadays, which is seemingly small compared to other historical points in time.Brand new 128
