Topic: Why rush, instead of taking your time to learn about the forum ? - page 3. (Read 422 times)

The truth is, many newbies joined the Bitcointalk forum just to make money and not with the pure intent of learning or contributing to the growth of the forum. This explains the reason for the rush. They want to quickly catch up with the reason they joined the forum in the first place. This can be risky as they may end up going against the forum rules and of course we know this comes with consequences.

A newbie is supposed to be a novice,  someone who has very little or no knowledge about a particular field they've just entered. The right thing to do at this point is to learn first. What ever notion you joined the forum with needs to kept aside first for you to give way for self development. Open your mind to learning then merits and ranks will come naturally.

Learning does not happen in an instant. Some may even take years before they can say that they are well-knowledgeable on the forum. There's always a process and always know that this process is never easy but certainly hard and tough but you can always learn to enjoy the process while its giving you handful of information and is making you on top of others, even though competition is not encourage in the forum.

The only reason I think why people rush their learning in the forum is because of their greed to make quick and early profits. But once they get there, all they experience is frequent losing that they're even advised to get back to the basic and learn patiently.

These threads are helpful but I doubt newbies pay any attention to them. It’s just full member and other high rank discussing on this thread.  There are plenty threads guiding newbies how to act on the forum. But all are ignited because newbies want to rank up as fast as possible, that’s every newbie’s goal. I don’t think it’s about signature campaigns or bounties that motivates the drive to rank up. They want to discard the newbie title and feel like a part of the community. I believe it’s a ego thing.

People have different learning ability, some are fast learners some are quite slower learners so it depends on the individual, I believe in personal growth and if we are truthfully we all know how our growth level in the forum has come up but greed and hunger to earn has forced many to go faster than their comprehension.

My suggestion is keep learning I don't care what your brain capacity is but consistency on the path to knowledge would definitely bear fruit at the end.

Merit is not all the thing. But is the useful in the forum. We can't say that we didn't need merit and it is of no use.

Still we can gain information through these forums even if we didn't have a single merit also we can join various talks and discussions and get our own benefits through these topics which we need.

My trading knowledge was so weak at the start but then I started to joining these forums discussions and now I'm almost aware most of the things that is to be done through the forums.

Ironically almost all Newbies wants to rank up and earn and with their vague knowledge will later opt to using Ai in creating post or  plagiarising, which when they are account are usually banned or given a negative tag. Those who later persevere to learn here will later earn and achieve things they never expected.
Everyone we have gotten inspiration from where one time learners because you don't give what you don't have. fillippone, is among those that has inspired me here, I Thank God I saw this post and from then it changed me for the better Re: Ranking up is possible! 2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!My 11 Hints!. Gain the knowledge then ranking up is easy

The first advice should be treat it as free place where you need to learn and maybe later help others on some difficulties. Just has you said almost everything has been treated before but still you will see some threads still getting merits because of the efforts newbies put out to that thread. The thing that gets most newbie either finding it hard to rank up or not later got caught for plagiarism is by teaching what they don’t know.

Ranking up doesn’t mean you need to create threads everyday, your posts can get you the merits you need ti rank once you learn properly first.

A major fact that applies to life in general that most people have refused to adhere to is "Everything has time" this does not only work here but in life generally, but in the case of Bitcointalk forum newbies are mostly found rushing to meet up with some who have been here for a long time.

Maybe it could a caused by the circumstances in which they heard about forum, like someone introducing the forum as a place they can earn instead of learn thereby omitting the L, Hence they start trying to rank up in order to start earning. Undermining the fact that people who are ranked up spent a very long time to learn and as a result of lessons learnt they ranked up. For the purpose of rushing to rank up has led to different negative results some could be positive if they took corrections but some negative due too spamming and other fact like plagiarism etc.

To any newbie who might be reading, stay positive and use the search button regularly and find answers to what you wish to learn. The forum have lasted over a decade and more so almost everything you which to talk about has been talk about so to avoid things like plagiarism search if it has been treated and grow gradually.

I would say that haste is generally very rarely useful. It is clear that you need to try to get used to the forum if you want to communicate on it, because you are joining an already existing community with its own rules. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

But here you are talking about opening up the earning opportunities that Bitcoin offers. But in this, too, haste can lead to the fact that you may not earn, but lose. It is important to understand everything and only then begin to act actively.

So the call to take your time is good in almost any undertaking.

  When I joined the forum newly I felt it was mostly concerning Bitcoin and making money from it, at some point I tried to act faster than my shadow by rushing to gain merits and move into the next rank, but with time I discovered I was wrong and there were a lot to learn in the forum asides Bitcoin, so I took my time to go through ethics and norms of the forum and even seek help from senior forum members, however I'm pleased to say that I don't  regret joining this forum cause there are lots of  informations and knowledge  I've gained from it, therefore I urge all newbies to learn from it as well, do not be in a haste to know about everything or move to the next rank without knowing the basics of what you're doing, the beginners and help board is the perfect place to learn and ask questions that would guide you through your journey here, as well as knowing where and where not to post.
  It is best to take baby steps to be able to fully understand the full context of the forum, and  ask questions when experiencing difficulties in the forum, the forum is a community and we are all here to share ideas and solutions, we work better as a team, of course abiding to the rules and regulations of the forum, would help as well, there are a lot to learn from the forum and lots of great ideas shared within the space with just mere asking the right questions you can achieve success from the forum.
