Topic: Do you think merit is by chance or lengthy article? - page 4. (Read 1174 times)

Yes Obviously the quantity of the post does not matter rather the quality of the post matters a lot let's say you have written 700 words of a lengthy words post but it does not contain any informative material, Helpful material, or Interactive material so it will be counted as the shit post. Just focus on your post quality and improve it as possible if the senior members find/feel your post interactive/helpful/informative they will obviously appreciate your posts. All that is possible only when you will start to contribute in the Discussion on the Forum keep in mind my one advice here for you is that reply the post with informative material in such a way nobody has contributed like you in the same thread before you are replying.

Then the chances of Getting appreciated by the member will increase for you. On the same side, don't be demotivated so early as I have seen so many people who have made a lot of posts but their merits are too much less the thing is they are still participating in the forum and they are still motivated. Just keep the focus on Quality, not Quantity.

You can earn merit when you join discussions where your reply is constructive, high or good quality post that clearly deserves a merit. It's not always making articles that lets you earn merits. Anyway, a forum member either a merit source or not have his/her own criteria on how he/she will reward merits to other forum members. Some people are merited because of their post that is funny or hilarious. Always remember it's not all about article or something like that where you have to post in order to receive merits.

That's right even while sending merits I don't consider the length of the post rather I consider how helpful the information has been and it's a misconception most of the people carry that the post should be lengthy inorder to get merits but that's a false assumption because the content is more important than number of characters. It's simple you contribute towards community by sharing knowledge be it one liner or one paragraph if it's helpful then your chances of receiving merits are higher and vice versa.

It's about the content, you dont need to have a large amount of text that doesn't make sense with the content or does not really beneficial information, many users gets merit because of the content they have, the substantial how they contribute the information, help with the other members with the recent or even in the future members will face the same concern. Youve joined last year and you don't need to get bothered in the merit if you know how much you help and contribute to the community. Keep enjoying the learnings.

Sometimes they fall into wrong thinking that if they create a thread automatically they receive a merit that's why we can see some of the newbies push their self to post something like tutorial thread but they don't understand what they are posting and it doesn't change or contribute anything in this forum.

They should always think that quality of the post is more better rather than the length since to many people will not read those long post and sometimes they want a direct to the point opinion then once those generous people like it people merit those post if they find it merit worthy.

We have many ways of earning merits on the forum, not only by writing lengthy articles or replies. You can even do both of these, but you won't earn merit because you may even write something with many paragraphs and still you won't earn any merit because it may be off point. However, some things are just full of English grammar without any merit because what that user writes is off point. So, the only way to earn merit on the forum is just by writing meaningful content for the forum members, and people will merit you.

Sometimes you can also earn merit by asking a very good question, so just understand that earning merit is not done by writing a long post. Even two lines of your post can give you merit. The main thing is that what you are writing should be on point. You should know what you are writing. That is the main thing, and that is the only way to earn merit.

It's because they are of good quality and the details and information shared in them are useful and worthy. You can't expect a long post with a bunch of gibberish written in it to receive merits because it's all about quality and constructiveness.


What's so complicated about it?  It's very simple, a user who is informative and posts only when they know they can contribute something to the topic tends to get merits all the time, and those who try very hard for it, create lengthy but useless posts and are barely interested in learning how things work will not get any or enough to grow in the forum. 

Quality over quantity as always is better but from my view I have seen some lengthy post receive merit, everything depends on your knowledge and what you pass out from your post, from my opinion read more and learn before you can be able to post quality. Excepting merit from a lengthy post with zero quality makes no sense and it looks like a wasted effort from my view. I have seen several topics with comment like the topic got no merit but members who commented received merit, so let's say those topics had no value, understanding how merit works is complicated and I think you should focus  more on something else.

Luckiness and randomness are some of factors to receive merit. Random means you need other forum members to read your 'assumed' quality posts, and luckiness is at the time of reading your quality posts, they have available sendable merit to send it to your account.

Length can decide a post quality like a post with one or two words, hardly contains any helpful content.

Too long posts don't always equal to quality posts. Idea needs to be expressed and converted to words in writing as shortest as possible to avoid wasting reading time of readers and to avoid misleading them to your main points.

Other factors than quality like fun, emotion, support are all against use cases of sendable merit and purpose of merit system but no way to control the system and merit distribution at 100% correct rate. We have to accept this fact.

Luck could indeed be a factor, as a person who would merit your post might just not read it or be out of merit, etc. But it affects everyone equally and you can't do anything about it, so you can just not worry about it. Length is also a part of quality. Posts that are just one short sentance rarely get merit because they are rarely qualify as "quality" - they don't provide unique or rare insight. But long posts are not automatically quality posts - there are many-many long garbage posts that are hard to read and are full of useless information.

But quality is not the only factor that determines merit gains. It's easier to get merit by posting what people would like to hear than by posting something that upsets them.

Just do what is right in the forum and you’ll earn your merits more than you expected. Don’t be too hard like creating a thread even if you’re not highly knowledgeable about just to impress everyone, just focus on the forum and always be genuine with your answers, eventually people will notice it and acknowledge your efforts on sharing your own insights. And don’t chase merits, instead never stop in learning the process in the forum until you’ll find yourself becoming a quality poster in the forum.

Why are we so fixated on earning Merits? The question is, even if we as newbies manage to earn merits in any way, what next? If our aim for joining this forum is to earn money from here then we are wrong in the first place because as far as I know, earning opportunities are simply bonuses and we shouldn't consider them as side jobs or part-time jobs and work on our accounts and everything so that we can start earning money as quickly as possible.

Our focus should be to learn and grow after joining this forum and we should be doing that as the first thing I'm pretty sure that if we deserve it, we will eventually earn Merits and rank up but if we don't, we will always stay newbies because, in essence, we would still be newbies because a person without any knowledge or experience is called a newbie.

Since the day I joined this forum, I have been trying my best to surf all the sections and read and learn as much as possible because I know that will be helpful for me in the future both in this forum and in the industry. I'm not chasing Merits because I don't care much about that and you shouldn't too.

Okay, haven’t come to this conclusion,

Do you call this a quality post?

I don’t know what you did intend to archive with this thread but, it’s so generic and have been seen one two many times. Come on, you could actually develop a thread more than you’ve done here. Perhaps merit isn’t given by the length of a post, there have been one liner post that made so much sense to be given the highest number of merits that could be given at any given one time in a month.  That doesn’t neglect the fact that, at times,

Your creativity needs to be seen in your write up too,
The length you go to state facts,
The time you put into your thread creation,
Your interest in what is been projected in your thread with respect to it’s relevance,
Your articulation and how you present your arguments and postulates,
And more of those…

It takes time for sure but, you get to learn these and more from users here, build on them and improve them. You wouldn’t struggle so much to come to certain realization while walking your Bitcoin journey.

Time and devotion are required to excel in any activity, including this forum. This forum also requires your entire attention so that you can quickly learn what you want to study, and paying close attention to quality discussions will provide you with further knowledge. You do not need to be in a hurry to get merit; if you have studied and executed everything you have learned in the proper manner, such as assisting others with their questions and sharing vital information that will benefit others, you will earn merit.

Constructive, useful, high-quality contributions that benefit others are what receive Merits, whether short or long. Most importantly, your article or post is understandable, clear, simplified, and free of spelling errors that hinder understanding. In addition, your article should not be duplicated. Ideally, it should be exclusive; of course, it must not be stolen from other sites or other members and be compliant with the forum rules and the rules of each section.

Merits will undoubtedly come if you try to be a useful contributing member, which is its main purpose. As you mentioned, the number of posts and topics does not matter. It may be that what you previously posted did not present anything new and may not have been liked by other members. Focus on developing your expertise, acquiring knowledge, and staying updated with everything new in this field so that you can raise your rank here.

Emphasizing on merit, it's obvious that what fetch merit is not base how elongate your is posting or how ambiguous is your posting, meriters, especially merit sources who does not share merit base on personal relationships between them and original poster, give out merit base on the content of the post and also your positive response on a post, it does not necessarily means that you will post to cover like twenty paragraphs before your post because a quality...a two stanza of post can give you twenty to ten merit depending how meaningful is your post..I could remember when I registered in the forum newly once you make a good point in any thread people will merit you, but right now you discover something that is unknown to the forum how highest merit you can earn is few....in summary you have to be good researcher and also be innovative in your posts before you can earn merit, just work harder that's my advice for you as a beginner.

actually you are right indecency that every quality poster earn more merit than average poster, but it depends on your merit fans, what gives rise to merit fan is people who like your methods of writing, base on your composition and use of English spoken languages that will make people to understand your area concentration or area of your writing.


It's better for someone to write what is comprehensive than writing ambiguous post that is not comprehensive, that is while some overlooked some of the contents that Carrie's much characters of words in this forum,  it's better and well understanding that quality writing or quality article is base on how formative is the post, if someone make a research and post definitely the person will earn a  merit,  some of us does not advocate time and make research before posting, that's one of our major problems.

Doing what is the right thing will save your time and will earn you merits, instead of creating this thread, you should have just work on your ways of improving your post pattern to increase their quality.
Writing lengthy words and paragraphs cannot earn you merits if the content did not have any quality contribution to the forum or of the content did not teach anything related to Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, or any technical idea and guides that will help us secure our Bitcoin.

Chance? Like an RNG in a MMORPG game isn't it? You think merit is like you getting the most expensive item in a game, but this time, it's in the form or merits.
Lengthy article? Hmmmm, I might posted some lengthy posts, but not a lengthy article.

It's just me being me. I guess this is the reason why I got some merits though it took me a long time to rank up to Legendary since I'm just an average poster here, and I'm not like the expert ones who are hoarding merits. Kidding aside, I guess being "consistent" is one of the ways for somebody to earn merit, but I've seen users here who are consistently posting here, but they are just spamming. Patience? I don't think so. Just be yourself. Share what you know about a particular topic, and just be constructive with it. That's the key.

Don't get discouraged by your Jr. Member rank OP. Learn more, and share it here. For sure, you will get merits along the way. The more knowledge you know, the more constructive your posts are, and the more constructive your posts, the higher the chance that the high rank members and merit sources will give you merits. Good Luck OP.

I mean that is usually the case since posting your own topic is going to get a lot more attention than just replies because on one thread, there are tons of replies so it's going to be difficult to notice your post on that considering there are as well even more quality post than your post there, I mean that just normal if your going to ask me, In my experience doing your own thread it quality articles will tend to have higher chance to gain merits than just doing replies. But doesnt really mean that replies are going to be useful I mean it's the easiest way to do it than creating a full-length topic.

In the end, these are all not going to matter the important thing is your learning and at the same time posting quality posts here in the forum, if you are on your journey in the cryptocurrency space just continue with it, and make the forum useful, help other members and ask them for help as well, it's going to be a win-win situation to everyone here in the forum. If you just continue to do that there is no doubt that merits is just gonna come naturally you are going to get it.

I gonna need to agree with you the secret here is consistency and patience, but it's going to be difficult to be consistent unless you are doing it yourself, you're experiencing it, etc. so I always suggest that newbies start right away on there crypto journey.
