I’ve recently made 10+ posts here as a new user, and I realised the forum works differently than typical social media. No likes. No shares. Just merit — and it’s earned, not given.

Here are 3 things I wish I knew earlier:

-Short replies don’t help — you need to write like you're helping someone.

-Posts in quiet threads may never be seen — post where readers hang out.

-Original thinking matters — don’t copy anything, not even from your own posts.

Hope this was helpful to someone

Op it's a good thing you've learned from the time you registered till now. Most newbies take a very long time before they understand that this platform isn't much like everyother social media it's a place for disciplined and bright minds. Well it's obvious you're learning really fast, now all you have to do is apply this knowledge that you've gotten and also ensure to read forum rules and understand them so you don't go about defaulting one of the rule as that could lead to a severe penalty like ban or negative trust tag which will ruin the reputation of your self. And also do well to ask questions, it would help you learn faster.

Well, OP, I must say you are very lucky to be here because, to me, I really see the forum as an opportunity for the lucky ones, especially in my locality. Using myself as an example, it was very important for me to understand and acknowledge the importance of learning and adapting in the Bitcointalk forum, which I must say has helped me all my long stays here. Having to follow the rules was a majority priority for me then so I might not face any penalties then.
