Although I will pay attention to who posted the post. But I will still read the content.

Nah, OP. If you were reading around the forum a little bit, you'll notice this newbie ranked account that posted couple of articles by his own. It is kind of long and that is the only issue I had.
[Check out RainbowKun's article to see if forums really need depth knowledge.]

I have also read his post. I cannot answer some posts because they are too esoteric.

I think it psychologically makes sense, that we always look up to those who have higher labels, who have more than us. It makes us have faith in them, respect them, and want to have the same thing as them. However, we can't blindly do it and always consider other factors. In this case, there's always a possibility such higher ranks not always got their rank by working hard but buying others accounts instead (Although I believe those practices are near zero possibility looking at how strict the forum is). That's why even those high ranks are probably mesmerizing, we should always consider the content even if it's come from newbies. So honestly, I can't choose, but if I have to choose I'll choose the second option

As for me, it doesn't matter the rant of the poster, what matters most is the content of the post. I pay most attention to quality post, and when you see it, you know it.

I will check the posts of some active newcomers, such as KingsDen kaggie kxwhalexk RainbowKun
Their ranks are not high,But it didn't affect my discovery that they are quality members.

RainbowKun published many articles last month. He is often seen in the discussion forum now, and he is an outstanding newcomer.

I will not refrain from viewing a person's post just because he is a novice or a low-level member.

But there are some legends\hero posts that I will pay special attention to. They have a good reputation, such as loyceV, Ratimov, DdmrDdmr, etc. Their posts will be of high quality

Yes, I agree. And they are eager to help newbies.It is with them that the newbies become legend.

I will have an unconscious admiration for legends, and feel that what they say makes more sense, even newbies say the same thing.
I want to know if you guys feel this way Cheesy

They may say the same the thing but it is how they portray and make their post constructive.
I have observed many times that while Newbies describe a particular topic the high ranked/high merited users portray the same message more constructively.
I guess this is why they receive more attention than Newbies. That's my perspective and I may be wrong as well.
But as far as you are giving out good content you will surely receive attention from the old members on this forum.

Indeed, I have also seen similar posts. The questions asked by novices are not clear. Replies always ask about the problem of the post. Some old users even comment on every answer method below. This is that the novice is not rigorous enough, and has not yet clear the answer that he wants to get.
The posts of old members are rich in content, which not only allows me to understand the content of the posts, but also improves my awareness, and also makes me subconsciously think that old users’ posts are more valuable.

In fact, at the beginning, I only dared to read the posts posted by others, but did not dare to reply, because I was a newbie in the forum, and I was afraid of replying or posting errors, and no one would read my replies or posts. When I muster the courage to reply to a post, someone will not reply to me because I am a novice. Everyone feels like friends. I think there is no hierarchy. Everyone can post and reply.
Many people think that what the hero says is credible, and the same topic still has the weight of the hero. I will look at everyone's topics.

same.At the beginning, I didn't dare to reply, because I was worried that I might say something wrong. But I muster up the courage to express my thoughts, and there will be many legends who will reply and give suggestions very seriously. I am really grateful to them. They are concerned about the growth of new members. I think this is the reason why the forum has endured.

Yep. I completely admit that using Chipmixer participants as an indicator for finding quality posts is completely biased and extremely unfair to other members who make a concerted effort to make their posts constructive and informative. It's just another method I use to quickly skim all of the posts that are worth reading, especially if the thread is obviously full of BS replies.

Andi I also understand that they are all humans who make mistakes, but you can still cherry pick which of these users you agree with in terms of their ideas/concepts/opinions on a particular topic, giving their merit weight. Furthermore, this does not only apply to Chipmixer participants, but also to other signature campaign participants that have demonstrated their contribution and quality post over time.

Thanks for quoting my post and I learned a lot from your perspective.

At some point, you can also tell if a user has an interesting post when the merit they received comes from these Chipmixer participant regardless of their rank. Well, maybe I'm using Chipmixer as a measuring tool too much to see if the user is making sense or just posting nonsense if they are being merited by these guys.

That's a wrong way to look at it. Not trying to discredit chipmixer participate merits but don't forget the participants there are humans and might not always be right. This is just like meriting certain users because they're part of a well known campaign. An argument could be since the post wasn't a spam, it did deserve the merit (not minding the weight of merit) it got but neglecting the other users that put in some effort into their contributions is where I have an issue with.

For example I have been merited for my contribution while neglecting the users ahead of me. While you could say that, those user post wasn't as informative as mind but provided they did put in some effort and wasn't spamming, they deserve some encouragement.

Meriting me just because I have been known for my contribution isn't want the merits system was introduced for. You're to merit any worth post not minding the users history or reputation on the forum. Such act encourage more new members to put effort into their post and not get discourage with the whole myth of forum favoring certain members.

Honestly, I think it will still have an impact. Subconsciously feel that old users are more convincing. After all, the things that old users put into the forum are all accumulated over the years. The legends and hero logos prove their contribution to the community, so for me, I think what old users say may have more influence than new users.

I only look at the content in the post. Although some are newbies, their content is really valuable, but I can only say that the old members are more familiar and more active. They are passionate about helping others solve problems. I just joined the forum. This was the most exciting moment when I first gained merit. I feel approved.

At the beginning I will read more heroes and legendary posts. Their posts are rich in content and high quality. I can learn a lot from them. But recently I have seen a lot of high-quality and innovative posts. Their grades are not high, but their posts have a lot to learn from. So I think there is no level in the forum. Many people will pay attention to whether the published content is worthy of others to discuss and learn. As long as it is helpful to others and contributes to the forum, it is worth discovering.

Low-level members need time to advance to senior members. There is always a process where low-level members publish high-quality articles, right?

Of course, some have quickly rose the ranks because of those. But you don't have to go that route if you prefer to take it slow and steady. For me, I'd just participate in discussions at my own pace and if people like them or find them helpful, they Merit.

The forum has become selfless and beautiful because there are many people who think like you.
It is priceless to contribute your words and deeds to bring value to others.
Many people in the forum are very enthusiastic about helping others, which is why I started to like to come here.

I agree with you. I also think so. Pay attention to your rhythm and don't care too much about ranking. If it is gold, it will shine everywhere.
If you do something that contributes to the forum, even newbies will get attention.

I pay attention to both rank and content. As mentioned in the first page in this thread that there are higher rank forum users who reach that rank when there is no merit implemented which is many yeara ago. I am sure you are aware that merit is implemented on January 2018 which I should be ranked up to jr. member but failed to since I am 2 activity points needed to rank up and yet merit is implemented. At this time, no matter how low your rank is if you post high, good quality posts then you are most likely get attention and get merited becsuse of it as long as the content is yours to start with and it is not plagiarised.

No, I won't pay much attention to the forum rank. As already mentioned, there are newbies who make quality posts and there are legends who make shitty posts.

However, I am more interested in the posts of members I know. Over time, you begin to remember some names and they remain in your memory as quality members. I will always read their posts in full, while most others I skim over.

Your rank has nothing to do with getting reaction from users if your content is worth the time, either solving a problem, giving new ideas, answered someone's question then you should get the required merit that is due for your posts. I doubt if the forum users are bias. Every one gets what the deserve
