Topic: Better way to earn a merit - page 2. (Read 596 times)

I think it is also safe if I advise everyone whose targets are to earn merit to try and niche down their interests to few boards. Maybe 3 to 6 different boards in the forum. Depending on how vast you can be and how easily one can diversify. Sticking to few boards will help you to become more familiar with the FAQs in the boards and learn more about specific topics as well as meaningful discussions.

My mate above, talked about reading more and working harder to improve your vocabularies. I will also say reading more will get you more acquainted with the terminologies of the topics in your board and will give you the know-how to be able to answer questions, in-depth. In every face of life, you need to work hard to attain mastery and it is not advisable to try to become a jack of all trades and master of none. It is actually great to have deep understanding of few things than having few understanding of various aspects. It is one of the reasons why scholars popularize Quality above Quantity.

The merit system is design in a way that other members appreciate your efforts into solving problems. It is like a reward system for your efforts and it is advised that you create problem-solving threads in the forum to get more merits. Noteworthy of other things is your ability to answer technical questions from the technical boards.

If anyone finds your post informative or useful to either the forum or to them personally, then they might end up meriting you. Just make sure what you are posting hasn’t been posted yet on the forum, don’t spam, and don’t plagiarize. Sometimes posts that you don’t even believe will be merited will end up receiving merit. You might make a post, some people might find it useless, but if it's useful to someone else's, that person might decide to merit you.
 
But what I will recommend to you is that it’s better you don’t join the forum just because of merit or because you just want to rank up your account and join a signature campaign, it’s better you change your mindset. If you join the forum to learn and also teach other forum users, then you will receive merits. Just post freely, and you will be receiving merits. Don’t post because you need merit.

Op you are very much welcome to this forum, I dey see say some of our boss Dem don provide links for you to take understand the question wey you ask, and I believe say you go find the links useful, actually if you wan really get merit for post dem, I go advise make you make good quality post and comment wey go dey useful for the next person wey read am, e fit be say na answer you dey answer person, and before you go know you don get merit. Make I advise you one tin, of you say na merit you wan dey chase e go hard for you to rank up oo and if you no get merit for post wey you feel say supposed get merit, that feeling fit make you give up sef, so the best thing na to just dey make quality post even if Dem no merit your post you fit still carry that post go apply for some thread wey dey inside beginners and help board wey dey give merit to post wey merit no reach.

What makes someone to earn a merit is when your post is a quality post, and what causes a quality post is a post that have meaningful point a post that you can learn from and people will also learn from you, its what makes post a Quality, sometimes our people doesn't think before posting or make a research before posting, for post to be quality it most be constructive in words and also with a good spelling words and good sentences that will make who ever that's reading your post to understand properly what your point is all about,  some people doesn't make research before posting and the post is not passing information to another person that means the post is made of rubbish and it can not earn merit, secondly some people paraphrase what has already being discussed in the forum and post,so that is why some of their elongated post doesn't fetch merits or attract merit

Well like I always say to everyone who feels earning of merit is actually hard, my advice for such person is just to read more and work hard because reading is what actually builds your vocabulary and help you out with lots of idea to go about constructing or contributing to discussion that can earn you one or two merit. The forum here is quite simple if you are willing to work on yourself and improve yourself in knowledge because there is no way someone can offer what he doesn't have upstairs and when it's comes to earning merit, your contribution is widely needed.

Okay.. First of all,  I will like to emphasize that life on this forum is totally different from life off this forum, and as such, how you relate with others, your reputation and ability to consistently render solutions to issues been discussed plays a major role to enable you grow on this forum. So on that note, the only advise I can give is that inasmuch as you can obey to the rules of this forum, avoid scam-related activities, creation of alt accounts and plagiarism, you are rest assured of staying safe here on this forum.
So when it comes to getting "merit", if only you can apply what others who are getting "merits" are doing, you are rest assured of getting same merit.

There is nothing bad with your question OP but as a new beginner it is obvious that other forum members would start thinking you came here just for merit sake and to jump up the ladder which is not bad because that is virtually the mindset of every one present on this platform but definitely for sure merit is a reward for your input and hard work.

So therefore as a newbie here, what is expected of you is to take out time to learn new things about the forum as you are new here. Read post and articles which would be of help to you in guiding you through to making quality posts and contributions. There are reputable members here who's post you could learn from. At some point after a devoted time of learning, you should be able to do something on your own here by making valuable input, being creative and making sound contributions to the platform. It is with this, you can be able to attract merit to your post.

You can as well submit your post you feel that is lacking merit to some threads here for merit source to award the merit as the case may be. From the posts above, I see many members have posted links to threads which you can apply for merit if your posts are lacking behind. All these could help you get merit as you want.

youre welcome to the forum but let me go straight to the point and inform you that this is not a merit farm and as a beginner, you shouldn't be focused on earning merit as it will definitely become a whole bunch of destruction on it own. The forum is designed to talk about Bitcoin and the only reason why the concept of merit became necessary is to encourage individual that are giving in their time and effort in contributing meaningfully to the growth of the forum. You only get merited when you've made positive contributions to the forum that has helped the next persons doubt to be cleared or when you've shared a meaningful information or insight in the forum.

Engage positively in the forum and merit will come to you by itself but if you chase after merit, it will become very obvious and it might lead you to creating irrelevant topics that might make members of the forum avoid your account.

You can earn merit if your post is quality, when we mean quality it doesn't necessarily mean the length of your post( short or bulky). Quality post is refer to a post that can benefit and be of help to forum members,  you can also earn merit by working in the forum yo make it be a great place for the discussion of bitcoin. Just be original and learn about bitcoin and  it related you will gain knowledge which you can share in the forum that will be helpful to forum members.

If I were you I wouldn't asked about merit knowing too that you are new member to me devoting time to read interesting materials that will help you know more things about this forum is always better than asking after merits. Usually it's being characterized that any newbies who just came online the first time and started asking for merits is a lazy poster who doesn't want to study and develop yourself. Naturally when you devote your time to read and comments according to what the topic or thread is saying you will surely received merits but if you don't read who would you know what to say to fetch you merits you are looking for?

It's not just only obvious that you're a newbie in the forum but also obvious that you are yet to know what you in the forum for, and you need to look inwardly to decipher your purpose and reasons to being here.

Anyway, if you want to earn merit this is what you do.
1. Deliver something unique to the community to learn from.
2. Build your knowledge about bitcoin and become a problem solver.
3. Create impact , give quality informations with your posts etc.

Welcome to bitcointalk my guy. Merit belike tap for back say you dey do well. Wetin you need to do na to package your writing make e be say anything wey you dey post make sense wella. When people read am them go give you merit. Na the koko be that. And if you Dey wonder wetin you fit do or write wey go make people baff you with merit do like Charles-Tim talk, observe other people doings make you know wetin dey sup.

My broda, abeg if nah rabbit you dey chase tok say na rabbit and if nah rat you dey chase tell us say nah rat you dey chase becos I no understand where you dey come from for this your post. You talk about how to earn merit and you're still driving the matta to a different thing. Here you say how is Bitcoin important to the Forum like you no remember say here nah place we talk about Bitcoin, learn and even teach other people wey no sabi how to go about BTC, like we get expert them here well well.
Just dey specific and about quality na where fit fetch you the merit you dy talk about, if your post no dy informative e no fit make people dy talk more about am just forget am, just try make am more unique and if e no fit cos argument then you need to try harder to get better post.

If all you need here is merit den getting it is not a big deal as long you succom to the rules of the forum. This forum is made up of well knowledge and skill full persons and all will say things based on their own perspective without compromising as long  your contribution is not up to their standard.. Your posts and replies requires enough construction and substance as to what benefit it becomes to the forum. So I would advice to keep learning the ways of the forum and that of Bitcoin as this is a forum for mostly Bitcoin activities and other cryptocurrencies as well. Seek knowledge first and every other things including merits will come to you.

Op I hope you know what brings you to this platform? Because we all here are working with the idea of learning because nobody is perfect but one thing you have to learn your positive interest in here whereby the quality of your post you don't have to ask for merit in here you just have to be fully focused with brought you here, me as a newbie just like you am always trying to cook something special for everyone. That's all you need (op)

We no need supri supri for here boss, as a newbie wey you be, if you dey interested in knowledge of how to earn merit for this forum, and you no sabi use our unique language ask us, then e better say you post your question for beginners and help board wey be global board, but for this our local board, make we begin to learn how to use our pigin language abeg.

Now, back to your question, I believe say with the number of replies wey you don get already, you suppose Don get the answer wey you dey find, to earn merit no hard, na just for you to make sure say you dey post things wey other users find valuable, and also make sure say you dey post am for the right board.
For example, if you be person wey dey always post for altcoin and it's child boards, you go hardly earn merit even if wetin you dey post make sense, this na because, serious users wey get smerit to give out no dey always check posts on boards like altcoin discussion, off topic and so on.
I believe say this little advice fit help you.

Merits do too matter for person who just come to the forum to learn 1 or 2 but as e come be one very important thing because to grow for the forum you need to collect the needed merits for your rank so e come be say merits na one of the most sort after thing for most members of this forum and for that e come to make sense say you need to learn how to make your posts merits worthy,  but of a truth when I start,  I no know how to get merits and me I was not writing to get merits,  but when I come notice say when I write,  people dey give me merits,  I come to increase in my activnenss and making more posts,  and that way I come begin dey involve in discussions both on my own topics or the topics of other where I see say I get contribution to drop,  like that like that,  na so I see say me sef done dey grow for rank and also I dey always give those people were dey give me merits back and also try to engage in any discussions they are also involved in, sometimes it is easy for you to get merits more when you are still a low rank because at that level,  it still very easy for you to rank up since the needed merits for ranks between hr. member to senior member still the easy to reach,  but to rank from senior member to Hero come hard because na double merits you go work for if you take from hr member to senior and then from senior - hero member,  this make it very hard to move from senior to Hero compared to from Jr member - Senior members.

So by the time you understand all this thing,  you will be able to arrange yourself and know how to go about your forum growth and development,  but the ultimate thing is to write quality posts and contributions and before you know it,  you will see yourself receiving merits,  and for sure merits is very very motivating for a member,  each time your posts receive merits,  you feel as you have impacted or share something that is useful to another member and that why they have rewarded you with merits.

So for at least this is what best I know about merits and how to go about it,  I hope this comment and the comments of others, help you to discover your way around the forum and what your motivations will be based on while being active here in the forum.

It has been said several times that merits will come naturally when you contribute positively to the forum. But one thing you should be aware of is when your focus is just merit I bet you will have more than 1000 posts activities without any merit. The moment you realize that you are here to share positive information and help others with meaningful contribution in providing useful comments merits will come.
