There are many users who do not contribute to the forum even though they have been involved for a long time, which will make you never have merit. If there is a donation, someone will give you a merit, or you can post in this topic if you have a donation.

That one is mine. OP should read these tips, too. 
To promote with merit system and new rank requirements, you should do following things.
(1) Never begging for merits
Reasons:
- Doing this will highly result in Red Trust, it is just the matter of time. Sooner or later, if you keep begging for merits, you will get Red Trust, certainly.
- Doing this don't help you to improve yourself. In long-term journey in the forum, it's not good for you, generally.
(2) Spending most of your time to read and learn
Only start composing your posts when you have something extremely constructive to discussions, topics.
Reasons:
- You are noobs, newbies (lack of knowledge, and experience), so what you think are constructive most likely unconstructive in reality.
- When you actually have reasons to start composing your posts, after finishing it, please re-read again and again to check that your posts are good in grammar, vocabularies, and good enough to express most of your ideas. I wrote most of your ideas because sometimes it is difficult for non-native English speakers to write down and completely express ideas by words. It's a challenge for non-native English speakers, who don't have English as their mother tongue.
(3) Never copy and paste without links to sources, or without quotes
Reasons:
- It is plagiarism, and punishments on plagiarism is kind of strictest ones in the forum.
Plagiarists who got permanent bans almost won't be allowed to come back.
There are new changes by @theymos, that allow perma-banned users give proofs, evidence of their contributions to the forum to come back.
But, the probabilty to have second chance is very very low.
- How to insert quote, please look at the image. It is very easy, click on the quote button at the upper corner on the right side of each post you want to quote.
You need statistics on perma-banned users due to plagiarisms? There you go:
How many banned users have you merited? (by LoyceV)
(4) Never mind of bounties, campaigns when you are noobs
Reasons:
- Campaigns are there, open then close, then others open and close, from time to time. You should never worry that you miss this chance, that chance, this campaign, that campaign, something like this.
It is the same as merits. Lots of users complain that merits are rare, I can not get merits due to it is rare. Nope, merits (more exactly, sMerits - sendable merits) are available, everywhere in the forum. There are so many merit sources, normal users, who have lots of sMerits readily to send out. They kept them partially due to quality posts are rare, not sMerits.
- Instead of paying too much attention, and time on hunting for bounties, especially bounties that have easy rules and joinable for low rank users; you should start learning, reading, and build up your accounts.
When you hit your finish lines, it's time for you to seriously think of joining bounties.
(5) Learn from inspirational stories. Learn from merited users, topics, posts
Reading and learning from most merited users, and most merited topics, posts are one of the best way to improve your post quality, coherence and cohesion when you compose your posts, topics.
I have a topic on: Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users
(6) Spend your time to improve your English, especially Reading and Writing skills
Reasons:
- If you can not read posts or topic in English well, can not get ideas of posts' / topics' authors, it means that you have nothing to do in the forum.
Remember that you have to get their ideas well enough to not misunderstand their core ideas.
- Next, after reading good enough to catch authors' ideas, it is time for you to express your own ideas in case you have something to ask for help, something to discuss, or something meaningful to help others. This is the time you need to have good enough Writing skill.
This is why I mentioned you should improve your English skills, step by step, from Reading to Writing. Of course, you can improve both skills simultaneously.
The forum is the place almost solely for discussions via Reading and Writing.
You can find available sources for English learning in the References at the end of this OP.
There is another one:(1) Never begging for merits

But, the probabilty to have second chance is very very low.
There's been no policy change. redsn0w wasn't permanently banned due to several factors which made me think that permabanning him would be a net negative for the forum. Nobody is banned strictly because of "the rules"; it's always handled case-by-case, but almost always, plagiarists deserve to be permabanned.
If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.
You should not expect that chance when perma-banned due to plagiarism.If you think that a ban should be ended, make your case in a new topic from a "good for the forum as a whole" perspective.

I have seen a few infographics about (s)Merits and how the system work, but not about the do's and don'ts.
Therefore I have tried to make an infographic with the do's and don'ts of the merit system. I hope that this helps other forum users.

It seems that you only receive merit when you contribute to the community, your information can help others.
There are many people who have experience in the market since 2013 but I don't see them using the MOIT, it seems that they are not interested in this forum.
Similarly, you can have decades of experience, your account has been created since the forum started, but if you are not active, there is no contribution to the community, you will not receive merit.

So you got a merit after-all.
It is not just a matter of how long you a re registered on the forum. There must be a quality post or a post someone finds it helpful or interesting.
I admit some quality post might be missed but on the long run if you stick to a quality you will get merit for sure.
I suggest also you remove bold font out of this message. It looks like you want to step up with a font rather than with a message itself.
Keep it up and you'll be rewarded.
I hope you did not find my message offensive but rather helpful how to proceed to get more merit. I am not full of merit, so maybe read also other suggestion of more experience users how to get it. There are tons of suggestions on this forum regarding merit topic.

Q: I can't post / embed an image and I'm a newbie. Why?
A: Embedded images have been disabled for newbies due to abuse (see https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/images-in-posts-disabled-for-newbies-1172918). You'll be able to post images when you become Jr. Member or if you pay a small fee. See more: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-can-now-pay-a-small-fee-to-enable-images-2385104.

In the Cryptocurrency industry, 3 years of experience means you probably have more experience than 90% of the current users of crypto overall.
Having a 3 year old account on an online forum is not equal to having 3 years of experience. Your account's age barely means anything. If you really have 3 years of "experience" concerning bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, earning merits shouldn't really be a problem for you.
July 19, 2019, 03:07:06 AM
It not the length of your experience, but what you have learnt from it that matters. You have been here for 3 years, and you still haven't learnt that some members skip over emboldened and coloured text. Some of those will be busy merit awarders
July 19, 2019, 02:52:04 AM
So;
BUT
Are you a newbie, or a 3 year-experienced user? It's quite uncertain
Back to OP a bit; merits are earnt if someone consideres any of your posts as "good" and decides to merit it

And one more genuine noob question.
How do I post imgur uploaded images into the body of my posts? It never shows the actual image. Just a link.

You just "woke up" last December 22, 2018 (about 10months from now), so we can call it your "start date".
Also, experience isn't all about the account's registration date, some members who've recently registered probably have more "experience" than me.
But you seem to be a genuine "gambler", I will look into your posts to find meritable post(s).
The thing is: users don't usually give merit to those boards, that's why.

Very helpful. And you are absolutely right about me waking up. Although I’ve been dealing in crypto since July of 2015, it wasn’t until recently that I realized the numerous benefits and the many uses that this platform offers. It’s an incredible resource.

I've read your posts.
It's better to open a scam accusation against the casino/site if you think you're scammed than posting it to their own thread, that way DTs can tag the user.
A red flag is much "louder" than posting evidences to their own territory.
