With that being said,no one can honestly state that he/she probably didn't have "earning" at the back of their mind before joining up..
It just happens to be the way one goes about it that matters,its true we're here to discuss about the bitcoin,but that comes with an incentive to earn,thus if the forum is benevolent enough to grant such privileges then it should honestly be treated "sacred",but it's really bad spammers hardly see it that way..
Topic: Bitcointalk Merit Winning Methods & Proposals (Read 725 times)
I would like to keep this article up-to-date after a long period of time because I was unfortunately unable to show interest in the article. I don't want to go without commenting that there is an article open to comments, suggestions and any discussion.
As a newbie, the essence of joining this forum shouldn't be to make money. I have traversed the various sections of this site and I can say it's a school for anyone who is interested in gaining valuable knowledge about Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry in general. Taking out time to read posts and contributions from members with higher ranks is very important in the learning process. Good luck to us all.
Unfortunately, every newly opened membership does not open like you, and it is also known that many new members are multi-membership. I wish every individual who has opened up a new membership can think or think of it as a basic purpose, but there is also a fact that almost all of the new individuals become members with the enthusiasm to earn money here. It does not change according to the nationality of the individual, so it would be wrong to blame a group of nations. But I would like to emphasize again that many new memberships are being opened with enthusiasm for earning money or multi accounts of former members. For that reason, the situation you mentioned is not a good fit for generalization and I do not think it will be a long time. I wish everyone did not fight with spam comments even though you are a member with the aim of getting information as you mentioned.

.Gaining information before income is earned and using it correctly will certainly contribute to better results. It is not possible to earn income unless there is information, and the users who register here with only the incentive of income are not very good either. For that reason, it is important to obtain information in the first stage, while income in the other stage will come automatically. The first plan should always be information exchange, the second plan must remain enthusiastic about earnings.
I think it would be good, if every member receives per month x smerits according to their rank. E.g. newbies 4, jr members 10, members 25, and so on. This would be in addition to the 1/2 smerits received when your posts are merited.
I like merit as a way to thank or like posts and it would be good if there is more merit in circulation and every user can like/thank posts that are useful to them. I see good posts often, but hesitate to give merit, in case I find a different post that I want to merit (low supply of smerits). With automatic monthly smerits this wouldnt be a problem.
I dont agree with these suggestions. Some people register to ask a question that they cant find in google or in reddit (other major bitcoin community) and to make these people wait almost 1 week to ask a question is unwelcoming. Bitcoin should be an open community for anyone who has interest in crypto, and forcing people to lurk 1 week before they can ask questions or contribute is counterproductive.

1.New members should have a total activity time of 120-150 hours before they could start posting.(there are lots of developers and programmers in this forum,maybe they could help how to implement it in bitcointalk system).This would surely make new users browse the forum and read begginers related topic until they completed the given activity time.
2.After completing the total activity time,new users are limited to post 1/day only.Post allowed per day increase as the rank goes higher.(bounties exempted).

I do not really think it would be such distributions or applications on a monthly basis, because many members of the forum will misuse this system. When there are many bad uses such as swaps, sales, etc., it will be difficult to deal with these memberships again and the forum management will have to go to a new application again. For that reason, I think it is beneficial for the current system to continue this way. Of course it will be nice to have an increase in merit resources.

Does anyone save me, I have read articles like this hundreds of times but still someone pulls it out to create more topics.

I appreciate this feature of merit points as I believe it will promote the qualitative content. However, most of the newbies are looking for the quickest ways to earn merits that results in the possibility of red feedback on their wall if they found guilty in the attempt of acquiring merit points in a wrong way. However, I believe that we should not completely restrict the ability to create content as that is the only way to gain merits in the case of the quality content. This feature is still new and hence it might take some more time to inculcate the habit of giving merit points to others for their quality posts and hence anyone should not stop sharing their knowledge just because they are not getting expected amount of merit from others.
The most frequent mistake and the most annoying mistake of the new members are the ridiculous and empty messages they have written with the willingness to win. Beside the creation of unnecessary message pollution, there is no respect for labor and many subjects are filled with trash messages. Very rarely, there are some members whose content they produce is of extremely high quality and they have the value they deserve. I can also point out that I am not complaining with the system if I think that many new members have received a red notification with merit fervor. We need memberships that are really laboring and producing quality content, not ours, polluting the forum for three cents.

Getting a merit? good luck. system leaves you at the mercy of others.
Reset everyone's merit to 0 and let them all start from scratch

I totally agree with you on this, so many people now making good posts but they don't get their right values because f this new system.
If they're making rules then it was better if they've reset it same for everyone.
The most ridiculous 2 comments made on this forum are probably these. Sorry, what kind of head do you have? Have you been holding your own memberships with members who have contributed to the labor and have contributed to the forum until this time? The old members, who had reached a certain level before the merit system, were here while you were away and were using this forum for information, not for money. Unless you go as far as paragliding, it will be much harder to get the systems and if everyone wishes to be limited to the merit system these conditions will be called. It is not a question of resetting the Merit system, but it is a great rudeness that you have to look down on the members of these people and see how much you are dismissed. If you spend a little effort, you can win something, but you can not make a profit by pretending like a vase. A little labor, then criticism!
You don't have to agree but it makes sense and fair to start from start. People abused the system before merit was introduced so they getting merit because of spams is one example of why this system should have reset for everyone.

For us newbies, perhaps before we try to hunt for merit I think it would be best if we should learn more about the forum and its cycle as a whole.
Here, this is it! I wish everyone who opened a new membership in the forum thinks like you and does not create message pollution with ambition to earn money immediately. Oh, how beautiful would it be ... Members who think like you deserve it until the end to earn profit without noticing the rank. I hope that in a short time you can reach the rank you deserve and start to earn a good income.
No, dude. The point or goal of having an account here is not to earn an income... While this forum is a good way to earn, that shouldn't be the overall end goal, but rather, a byproduct of being a good poster with genuine interest in the bitcoin field/industry.
That's similar ro reddit's gold it seems
That's actually a great comparison! Merit here is very similar to reddit gold in the sense of distribution and rewarding someone for outstanding content. Good reference!
I totally agree but most people see it as a way of making money through bounties but it is definetely not, you should contribute to the forum.
Well as i am new here i dont want shitposting,which is why i am one of those people who are happy with this new system as it is reduces the spam of those people who only wants to earn not to learn here.I have been reading for quite a while and most of the threads has some stupid comments though it is completely normal when we are talking about forums.I am looking forward to learn here,but i do think the spam level in this place is quite absurd.
It's a great post and i learned something new from it. Have been around for few months but unfortunately i mostly post under Digital Good section which does not brings any help to the community.
To be honest and frank, the merit system is great but not fair enough. "Rich becomes richer while the poor remains the same" - If you have a close look into forum, there are many threads, posts that is being posted by newbies but many of us don't pay much attention neither bother to praise them. Yeah, i agree with the fact that more than average posts that are being put up by newbies are spam or does not reflects any real help to the community.

Thanks for the tips dude. I enjoyed reading your topic, you had a great point. And for other people or for us to get merits, we should make an extra effort not just helping out other people. You need to emphasize what you are pointing out and you need some clearly executed explanations for you to get merits. Being knowledgeable of a certain topic is a must. Also english language is very important for an international communication thats why we need to be at the top of our english to clearly have an understandable communication. Build some good relation with other people here also.
That's similar ro reddit's gold it seems
Certainly these systems can be likened to each other. Both systems are being used as a reward mechanism. Members who produce quality content, useful messages and ancillary messages earn the benefits they already earn both monetarily and meritfully. For that reason I do not understand the people who oppose this system, usually they are labor thieves or stingy people. I do not have easy earning so easily now, I think it is necessary to dig it into their heads.
