The new meritnsyatem will surely bring out the effort and creativity in members, most especially the newbies who aims to climb up the ladder and get that certain rank they always wanted to be in. Let's say that they will do it by force and not because they wanted to, so what? As long as it will make the forum a better one with better contents, all is fine. Soon they will realize that the new merit system will instill them a habit worth having and developing without them knowing that the forum caused it.

I agree. Way back, it was easy to reach higher ranks like if you want to be Jr. Member just post 30 and you will be on it as soon as your activity gets refreshed. It was also the reason why lots of shitposts was being dessiminated in the forum. There are also lots of participants in different campaigns since it is easy to reach higher ranks leading to a higher profit. Spam posts should be stopped, there would be many nonsense posts if it is going to be tolerated. Even on those who are very familiar in the forum have a hard time on getting a merit because it requires more than quality posts.

I don't think to get at least 1 merit on this forum difficult. You need your knowledge, understanding, and sharing that will earn you merit from so many people. They are not stingy, willing to give you merit if you contribute to the community. It could be a warning, a guide, or some special news, ...

@kryptoklerk read this post https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350 you’ll need to post constructive and helpful posts to earn merits, and then depending on your activity you’ll be able to rank up.


@BTCWigs I don’t think so as others have already stated you only need one merit to rank up, so I would suggest you to start posting constructive posts if you wish to rank up. Alternatively you can submit your posts in the below mentioned threads, and if your post deserves a merit you’ll be awarded one.

Why do you ask me If I need proof when you know most users here are selfish. Just look at the bounty scene. Most of those people don't even know what they are supporting. I don't need proof or data since it is already there. Why must I argue with you about most people here being selfish? It is obvious. Most people don't even merit people. Go look at the total merits in circulation vs the ones given out. You cannot argue with facts sorry. You should know these things seeing as you have been here for such a long time I don't know why I need to explain this.

I never said their quality was not good. You looking for an argument now. I won't argue since I know I am right.

Your topic replies were most likely on the first page and you most likely have some popularity. Most users comments get buried in shit. If you have advice for me and honestly believe you can help me get to legendary then tell me how I'm all ears. If you can prove me wrong then please do. I also do not really want to be one of the better-known users because I honestly do not want to get involved in the politics of this forum. I would rather be a quieter member that most frequently posts about things they enjoy. I just don't see why your average person cannot rank? When you post you need to have the right eyes on your posts and thus post in the correct places. It is just logical.



Absolutely you don't need to type out paragraphs. One line can contain more helpful info in it then 10 well-written posts. What if they post a link that was really difficult to find. I'd merit that. I do prefer a short and direct answer to things though.

You can follow this thread- https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28250551. Where it has clearly mentioned about the merits and activity so that you can get some idea that what should you follow while posting.

This represents the number of accounts that have ranked-up, needing merits to do so (Data as of 25/10/2019):



The top chart represents all time data. It shows that 15.012 accounts ranked-up via merits. It displays the initial rank at the time of the introduction of the Merit System (rows) and they rank they moved on to (columns).

For example, 3.532 Newbies have so far made it to Member rank via merits. 26 Legendries required merits to reach their rank: 22 were Hero Members at the time of the Merit System kick-off, 3 Sr. Members, and 1 Full Member.

The second part of the chart narrows down the accounts to those created during 2019. The maximum expectancy in these 10 months would be to reach Sr. member (240 Activity alongside 250 earned Merits), and it seems that there is only one account to have managed that feat (it depends on the moment the account started posting within the year too). Nevertheless, 586 accounts created this year have managed to rank-up, albeit the vast majority to Jr. Member.

Overall, getting to Jr. Member is not really difficult. It’s surpassing the Member rank where most people struggle.

I will just repeat what they always say here to the newbies who are asking things like this regarding merits.
Just make constructive and helpful posts and you will get merit.

To be a member you need 10, Full member = 100, Sr. Member = 250, Hero Member = 500 and Legendary = 1000.
Sounds hard right then you will remain as a newbie or probably a Jr. Member and accept it.

You are your own worst enemy. I just quickly browsed through your post history and a large amount of your posts are in sections like Micro earnings and Alt coin sections where people do not want to give merit points for posts that are done there. Serious merit providers do not hang around in Micro earning sections to look for posts that could earn merit points. 

Also, once people see a signature attached to your account, they almost instantly associate you with being a shit poster. Take a tip from a fool, remove that signature and post constructively and you will get a lot more merit points. 

This is only 1 what we need to increase rank?
And what about next ranks? 

Oh
Can, please someone tell me, what need to do, to get new rank?
Im sorry if someone already ask it, just want to know

The merit system is a life safer, the forum is now free of roaring spammers and now to rank up you have to work for it by posting reasonable posts and avoid plagiarism

You do not have to write full paragraph and essay to get merits.  Half of mine posts are one liners because i do not have much to say but what i say is relevant. That's why i am able to get the merits.

Any decent poster will reach Jr Member in couple of months at the most, and anyone that fails in achieving that is seriously dedicated to one-liners and shitposting, and system is designed exactly for that reason- to prevent those kind of users achieving higher ranks.

By the look of your post history, you fall in that group, writing one-liners with minimum effort, so no wonder you are still stuck at newbie rank. Once again merit system proves working in your case, as unless you change your posting habits you will stay at low rank for quite some time.

You already mentioned about the main reason why merit system had been created.It isnt really that long or does require too much time for you to stay up for this rank newbie to jr member does only need 1 merit + 30 activity points then 10 merits for member and so on.

You wouldnt find this as a problem if you do just try your best to post up meaningful things in forum and then merits would come along the way.

A lot of your posts are just one-liners and not really informative. If you can improve and add more value to your next posts, you can get merit faster and rank up.

Welcome back btw.

Do you have any proof/data for this?

Think about it. Maybe, just maybe, they actually make good content hence why they're the top merit receivers? This is pretty much the newbie/jrmember argument again.

Well, I've only made a few topics throughout the years, and I've received 600+ merits from topic replies(probably around 85%+) rather than spam creating topics.

...the newer merit system means one now has to make an effort at quality posting before being able to wear a signature or personal text, and earn from the forum.
A newbie will normally take 28 days to have enough activity to become a jr member, this is enough time frame to earn at least one merit

I missed this kind of post, they were quite popular back then when the merit system was first introduced. Back then I was a newbie too and so the other members here. some of them became a Hero from Zero merit and some others manage to rank up, of course with their hard work. as for me, I didn't expect to get up to this far. I'm very thankful for all of the users who support me from day 1, yesterday I got my 300th merits. Just imagine I only got limited knowledge about the English language and manage to get up to this far, if it's possible for me, it will be possible for you too.
