I a struggling to rank up myself what can i suggest you
I was therefore wondering if I am doing anything wrong. Is there anything else I can do beyond putting time in my threads and trying to use correct language to get merit?
If you post because you want to earn merits then your mind set is wrong. What will happen is your post will be long and beats around the bush instead of going straight to the point. If you post, ask your self, why do you need to post? Because of merits? Or because you feel your post will add something to the topic of discussion. If your answer is the later, then you are in the right track.
Dear all,
I know, this is yet another thread about merit, but I’ve been really asking myself if I am doing anything wrong, which is why I had to write this post.
I’ve been quite active on this forum for some time and have struggled to rank up since the new merit system was introduced.
When merit was introduced, I read many threads in which people said that the system would be beneficial for those who would write quality threads and display a decent command of English. I would argue that my posts generally meet these criteria. Of course I sometimes also write short posts (like everyone else on here), but I have also created some quality and helpful content, which sometimes took me up to an hour to write and research. The result is zero to hardly any merit. I sometimes have the feeling that there is simply too much content on this forum in order to get noticed by people who would be able to give you merit or people who could give you merit simply can’t appreciate the content due to their own lack of language skills. While quality seems to remain unnoticed, there are tons of shitposts that receive merit for reasons that are beyond my imagination.

I just started with cryptos. I would say that I spend around an hour per day, mostly when I'm on public transportation, since I don't have a lot of free time.
Therein lies the rub.
Respect, you actually seem to have read one of my early posts. While it was true at the beginning that I only spend some time I now use most of my weekend. If you read my posts you will notice that it wouldn’t be possible to write most of them on a mobile device or in a short period of time.
Btw I find bold letters in red colour quite offensive, but thanks anyway for proofing that bashing newbies seems to be a reliable merit source.
Rumor has it that the larger the red bold, the more merits one earns. Just watch and see if you don't believe me.
Hey, Mr. Shit For Brains, you now see how it works? The larger and more colorful the font, the more merit one receives. Case in point, I received more sM for the post I quoted above than you have in total. Apologies for not apologizing for sticking it up your ass further but that's the type of guy I'm.
One more thing in cause you missed it, FUCKTARD. I just won the reward for BitcoinTalker of the Year --> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33729235
Also, posting about why you don't get merits or the pros/cons of the merit system seems to get a disproportionately high amount of merit. Go figure.
Case in point, the post got merited. Thanks for the merit of course - looks like you agree!
If you want some of the best stats on where merit is being awarded and such, I tried to link them on my thread:

Newb To Newbs: Gaining Merit Fast!
I can tell you I learned a lot from starting that topic
#1 People who genuinely need help appreciate having one place to look for good information. Instead of wading through all the BS.
#2 For some reason merit sources and old accounts absolutely hate it if you create a thread that organizes and links to other important threads. They've already read it all, and you aren't doing anything that specifically benefits them.
#3 Don't make threads to benefit #1 because they don't have any merit!

"You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. Additionally, when someone sends you merit points, half of those points can be sent by you to other people.
Certain users are designated as "merit sources". They can create new merit out of nothing, up to a limited number per month (which differs per source). I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.
There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.
I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.
While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.
Do not beg for merit excessively."

Actually you are a good poser's, so don't rush yourself earning merits. Because gaining merit is a big challenges to all of us, like you I was dreaming to earn a lot of merits but on the other side of my mind I always asking myself. Do I deserve to earn merits even though I have small contribution of ideas to the benefits of the others? All I advise to you is to be patience, be more creative in terms of posting, make sure that your posts are understandable and lastly make sure that your topics to open are interesting.
More participants are giving merits the OP if the topic they're open is interesting, informative and giving them some knowledge regarding with the other matter in bitcointalk.

Posting in altcoins will earn you little (based on my own experience!) even if you write something informative and useful. I think alot of the good posts get buried in the 'noise' of low quality/spam like posts used to meet bounty campaign quotas. It's a shame, since I like learning about new altcoins.
Most that I can suggest from my limited experience is to try and mix it up a bit, and if you like or want to support altcoins, use your Smerit to reward good posts in that forum.
Also, posting about why you don't get merits or the pros/cons of the merit system seems to get a disproportionately high amount of merit. Go figure.
Also, if you speak Russian or another language, there seems to be a lot of merit going through some of those sub forums. You may think I'm joking but seriously, have a look. If English isn't your primary language that could actually play in your favour in some forums, depending on the specific language.

To be honest, I really hate such a over-bold, highlighted threads like those ones (Hate to say this but I can not say something different, it's my real feelings when I read them).Over-highlighted threads' authors should be added into Ignore list by serious users in the forum.
Just my recommendations. I have already put this guy into my Ignore list.
Therein lies the rub.
If that's a promise, I'll have them 3 sM you kindly gave me tattooed on my left cheek with the caption "PBS was here ... Oink Oink".
To me,earning merit is hard as well as easy. Hard,because most of the members don't read our posts. Some are very much eager to read the posts of high ranked members like HERO or LEGENDARY.. They don't have enough trust on our posts.Again,if you post where there are already many pages,then your post whether it is high qualitative or not,will not be read.So,you can't earn merit.So,you should post on the new questions required and the post must be constructive.
Easy,because,if you are confident about the quality of your post,and if any sincere member reads it attentively, then you can be sure to get merits. Only quality posts can bring you merits..

Yep sorry to say but you have been doing it all wrong. You need to start sucking up to people and you will receive merit in no time. That's how this forum works.
Yes an example of sucking people to receive merit is neighbor system, Friend system, family system with smerits readily given. Even if your post are shits they will just give you merits because of that system. 
Therein lies the rub.
You have got 4 merit now. Congrats friend !!. Teach me, friend .. I always try to be active in this forum like you, and let this forum work. pray for me to get a lot of merit.
