Topic: At last, I am a Senior member. (Read 485 times)

Congratulations! Indeed it is not easy task you had been into and that made you different from other members. I see too your dedications and how you made some of your posts as replies. You were just also like in some nerd guys who always gets merits. You could be a doctorate in it and for that I always going to be amaze by your ideas, shared informations and current events that is very crucial in learning about cryptocurrency. Keep it up in contributing and being a part for a more healthier forum as what admin wanted to happen of this forum in the future.

I want to congratulate you, mate, because you have achieved a Senior member rank in just a few months in the Bitcointalk forum. I think you deserved this kind of achievement because even I joined this forum in 2017, you are more committed and dedicated to making efforts and engagements to help other members in this forum. I also think in just a few months; you might already achieve to be a hero member by the end of the year.

I have joined this forum ahead of you and then you joined in this forum too. Even if you are new, you did try your best to do whatever is best for the community. Because of that, you earn merit until now your merit is for hero member but yes you did lack in activity points and that doesn't mean you are not qualified to be a hero member. Congratulations.

I think this thread won't be complete without me coming to give my congratulation reply. I remember your journey just like you started yesterday as I encountered your account from your days of been a member. Your efforts today are getting rewarded but many might think it's just luck not knowing the hours of continues engagement and dedication you have put into presenting yourself as a decent poster you're. I won't be surprised if in the Soonest time possible you celebrate your 1000 merit. Yes it's very possible.

There's no rocket science to earning of merits, I always advice people to be themselves and not try to copy someone else as that won't be of benefit to them in anyway although you can learn from them as anything good is worth learning. Paint your own picture, create the awareness for yourself due to the uniqueness of your style most importantly enjoy your stay on forum while it last.

Ranking up shouldn't be a priority but is worth working for but instead leaving an impact on the forum that if you may depart one day, your absence will be missed and your pass works will serve as a legacy for you. Don't just be average, strive to leave an impact and a positive one for that matter. Congratulations once again.

Congrats for the achievement. Feels great, huh?

I've many times admired you for trying your best to not only understand as much stuff as possible but to also be a memorable member of the forum coming up with their own opinions while listening to others' as well. Each of us here fits a little piece of an entire, very interesting puzzle. Good job!

Congratulations Charles-Tim for your rank up. Newcomers to Bitcointalk have a bad mindset that rank up is not possible due to merit system. But members like you break their bad mindset with your good work. This achievement of yours will make the rest of the newcomers interested in doing something good. If he/she do good work and contributes to the forum, community members will definitely give him/her merit

You've actually qualified to be a Hero Member, because your merit amount is 500+.

Keep up the good work.

This is a user that I have got my eyes on. It's not a matter of how long you've been on the forum to learn a thing or two from a user or get motivated by a user you've noted to be doing quite well. I fined it exceptional on how he viewed the forum and was able to learn and contribute his ideas in the shortest time frame of involvement with this forum. You stayed true to your course @Charles-Tim and that a lot of users idolizes you in taking a bold step towards being a good forum user, stay active and increase as much as improve on the various contents available on our boards.

You very much deserve all that you've got and bitcointalkforum and it's users has a way of giving that to you. As much as we say congratulations on archivements, we are also extending an appreciation for the many times you've taught and updated us on significant matters about Bitcoin, issues within the cryptosphere and life itself. Your truly what you've always been, a model for a change.

This is a great achievement I have ever see in this platform just a few months you are now at
 senior member. A big congratulation to you in your new rank up and commitment through out the process. I think we the junior member will take the same step to improve.

Congratulations and thanks to you too for trying as much as possible to post HQ stuff that teaches users on the forum something new and original, and that's what makes a user worthy of earning the merits that you've earned in just this span of time; I read all the threads in your op when you initially posted them, and they taught me something I didn't know before then, and I'm sure other members had that same feeling, that's why they didn't find it difficult to merit you every now and again.

I'll advice you continue this way, not just to earn merits or to get to Legendary rank (which is next), but because you want newbies and other ranks as well to continue to learn a lot from your topics, be it about Bitcoin, their privacy, protection, the responsibility they owe their funds, wallets they ought to use, etc, great job mate.

Please accept my congratulations. You have reached this rank in a very short time. I am impressed with your results and I want to express my recognition to you. I read a lot of your posts they are very informative.  Think that reaching the rank of a hero will be just as fast. Keep your line, you are on the absolute right track.

I see your application in the subscription BestChange. I hope that the manager will make the right choice in your favor.

A foolish path always starts at the same point where a legends path begins. What you become there of, it's always dependenth on the path you choose to walk. There is no luck in hard work, it does pays. Though, your a yet to be but soon to be legend as per forum rank but, your a unique individual of who's hardwork, focus and dedication has got you this far @Charles-Tim.

You stand as an indicator that their is no two ways about it as per ranking up and the merit/activity series of the forum and that by quality contribution and devotion to learning, one can rank up rather easily and I hope other users with this in mind and learning at heart picks up the pace though, you've not left it just yet and follow your fresh tracks.
Congratulations mate as you attain yet another high, as a Sr. Member 👏.

Hero member merit in about 8 months on the forum is very impressive, I am sure you'll have a high Total time logged in considering how active you are and how much effort you put into the forum which has reflected in your post quality. I have been aware of your progress and contribution for a while now and must add that you are a very valuable member. Congratulations on your new rank.

Next goal
> Hero activity, although do not chase this, posting naturally would get you there
> Legendary merit, next 8 months maybe 

Thanks for congratulating me. About relaxing, this forum is good and addictive, and I do not think there is any possibility of me relaxing, anytime I see a post to reply to, I will have to, no matter what, that is why this forum is alive, because we users are active. And, anytime I see an interesting topic to bring to the forum, I will not hesitate to bring such topics in here. Or, to make it simpler, this forum is now part of my daily activities, it is now part of me.

Thanks also. I understand what you implied, that is the nature of men, and saying it takes away the jealousness. I can see you ranking up too, and I expect you at the top and ranking up more and getting to legendary one day.

you have collected 500+ merit, then soon you will become a Hero member...
when seeing other members move up in the rankings, of course, there is jealousy but it comes back to each member and I see that the topic you made is quality and deserves to be given 'merit', congratulations.

Actually you are a Hero member now. You have passed the hardest part and now you could just relax and chat. If I was on your place, I would relax till xmas
You wont even notice how time will fly and you will have to create or rename this topic.

Congratz buddy.

Congrats to you @Charles you have been a quality member anytime i come a post with your name starting i always have that expectations of something not ordinary but exciting and knowledge impact. You are one user that i love to read posts from. Congregation for every thing you have contributed to the forum.

You must be very smart in acquiring such number of merits in a very short time, one can only imagine. You're now a senior member but already have merits that'll make you eligible for your next rank. I can only imagine how you'll be feeling right now as if I was in your shoes, I'll be overwhelmed with Joy. I join you in celebrating your new rank as I hope the forum will rejoice with me one day when I celebrate mine.

Keep up your good works, it never goes unnoticed they say, so I'll keep posting in the best way I can. Hope you rank up very fast too so you can enjoy the benefits that comes with having such rank on the forum

You registered in March of this year. And you already earned 517 merits already. That means you have earned an average 2+.... merits per day. I have to say that it's really very fast-moving. And it has possible because of your efforts that you put on by creating good topics. Congratulations to rank up and you are one step ahead to reach the Hero rank. It's just a matter of time.

Congrats! But at 500+ Merits, you're a to-be-Hero once the time comes

Just gotta be patient!

Now you are only waiting for your activity to rank up, I see some of your topics and they are all useful for every beginner of the forum, I see your efforts and time for constructing all of your topics and comments as well. It seems like you are really knowledgeable about cryptocurrency and so comfortable with the forum, I am hoping that I could be like you someday,

I want to congratulate you for your achievement, all are well deserved.
This is also one of my reason why I joined this forum, I know that there are many things that I could learn from this forum, this will also help me with my communication skills (english grammar) theough readinga nd creating topics/comments.

You are right, when I started, knowing nobody, I thought the merit system will be biased, but also I did not think about that much. I tried to learn about the forum, about how posts will have quality, this really changed my thought about merit system after I created my first two topics and having 8 merits. The only one secret which is also not a secret to ranking up are quality and authentic posts. That is why I always advice newbies to concentrate and know how this forum works so they can rank up.

First off, I want to say massive Congratulations to you on achieving Senior Member rank. It's a big feat as not a lot of people can make such an achievement in the same stipulated time. As you celebrate your new rank, I want you to know that your posts and topics I've been one that I have always looked forward to. Your contributions to the forum is appreciated.

Once again , Massive Congratulations. Also, I see that you're a potential Hero member due to your merits. This is more evidence that the merit system works. Thank you for all you do for the forum. Congratulations once again.

My way to senior member
Few months ago, I joined this forum, I was so content with it and happy to be among people here, I did not know what to do, but I wish to rank up. Although, after some times as days gone by, I was able to know few certain things about the forum, I do read what people post, checking the way merited posts are. I tried my best as a newbie and surprisingly received my first merit. It really encouraged me to post more topics and also posting replies. I was able to rank up, it was a great and pleasurable for me. Many ranked members corrected me, I was able to learn from them and know more about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in the process, thank you all. And, I am still all ears to correction(s) while also developing myself daily to make the best post.

Appreciation
This will be the first time I am appreciating members on this forum, I did not consider myself as a member before until my first goal was achieved, to be senior member has been my first goal on this forum, that has been what really helped me and get me this far, but that does not still mean everybody that register are not members, but just the way I thought to fulfill my ambition. And I am using this period to thank you people to get me to this rank, many of you always see my post worthy and quality. Without you people, I wouldn't have made it far, thank you.

What I have learnt.
First of all, I will like newbies to go through these two links:
What I have learnt so far, my advices for newbies
My experiences so far and my advises for the newbies

This forum is a great place to be, it helped me such much after I joined, especially while communicating with people, I am able to communicate with people more professionally, even in my home and everywhere I go more than before I joined this forum.
It let me know how people should really be independent of themselves in avoiding scam and how to avoid malicious actors. This is more than someone giving me money. A lot of people are depressed all because they were scammed, some people were financially shaken, some may not recover from scam, some victims can even die. So, this forum is  worth more than someone to give me money.
In short, there are many other things I have learnt, I just mentioned few, this forum helps me to know more about life generally, directly and indirectly.

Encouragement
I started on this forum as a brand new one March 07, 2020, within these periods, I was able to rank to senior member. There are some people that have the mindset that people do sell merit, that people only give merits to friends and people they know, if thinking about that it will be very difficult to rank up, thinking like this will not get you anywhere, it can only make you not to do the right things. Obeying the rules of the forum, researching and contributing what you think can interest people, posting in the ways posts that are merited are will get you far and high. Be hard working, patient and believing in yourself.


Conclusion
I have been on Bitcointalk forum for awhile now, it has really helped me in many areas of life that money may not give, making me conscious how to avoid scammers and helping my communication skills. But, also will mentioned the fact that I have been participating in campaign since I was a full member and earning bitcoin in return.
