Hello Bitcoin talkers...

So I have been thinking about the journey of a new user in the forum and those joining our community.. We have a lot of reputable  memebers here in our local board and sometimes some discussions may seem overwhelming for new comers, especially for those who are not curious enough or have the drive to really study about Bitcoin.
   I also noticed that some high ranking  memebers are fond of looking down on newbies and making them feel they are not good enough to make some types of contributions to the forum.
 I would really like us to give suggestions on how we can make the forum and our naija community to be more welcoming and friendly to new memebers.  Here are a few questions I have in mind ..

1. While we have a guide about  the forum in the Beginners and Help board, will it also be a good idea to have an official welcome thread on our local board where new memebers can introduce themselves and also ask basic questions without fear of being judged. Not all new memebers can navigate the forum and find information by themselves...

2. When a new user asks a question that has been answered before, instead of just saying "use the search function next time", shouldn't there be a more constructive way to guide them that will not make them feel stupid  because this is a very popular act across the forum...

3. How can we create a community where no question is a dumb question?... Everyone of us started somewhere and at some point, did not know some of the most basic things about Bitcoin...

 A strong community is one that brings in and accommodate new people ... Let's make our contributions in how we can make the  naija board Very welcoming...
