Topic: Happy to reach 50 merit - page 3. (Read 779 times)

Even if the post is simple and yet it is useful and informative then that post will get merited by other forum members either a merit source or not. There are merit source who start a thread for people to complete a task like sharing the link of your good quality posts and get merited like what fillippone is doing. I think you will earn more merits if you believe in yourself that you can do it.

Reason why I didn't congratulate the OP is because of how some members always open such topics as this type with a celebration of getting to this number of merit or rank etc, I believe the OP has something big to celebrate in the nearest future... I'm happy for the OP and I wish you success too.

About the merit, I understand what you saying about finding it hard to get up to that number 50, this merit to get it is like planting a seed, it won't grow immediately but with time you'd start seeing the fruit of your labor. When you drop a post don't expect to get a merit immediately but with time when your mind is off getting merit it might come in a big way depending on what you have given the public that's informative.

Study and acquire factual information at first. Earning merits will easily follow if you already established your mind so posting quality threads that will attract good discussion will be easier for you and that the other members will find them more valuable and beneficial. If that will continue, you will earn consistent merits because of your hardwork and determination to create good and quality posts.

I had to qoute your entire topic because I found them very touching and I can also relate with all you're saying because I've been in your shoe and over tye time, I've alot from the forum and I was a very poor writer and the forum has really sharpened me to a presentable writer and I'm absolutely grateful to everyone who has made it possible for me to climb up to this height and yes it is obvious that getting merits is very difficult this days and I've read threads where users would receive over 50 merits from a merit source and you can imagine receiving 50 merits at a time,how motivating  and exciting that feeling can be.

I'm not in the position  to advice since you've been here before me but I want to add a little  words of encouragement  that you shouldn't give up easily not after all the efforts you already put in your account and I also want to say that you should try to make some Informative posts and you shouldn't be so bothered by merits but rather do the right things and keep the forum active with quality  and informative post.

But I see nothing wrong if you congratulate the op for the  achievement he or she is celebrating knowing that it took him or her so long to get to the level he or she is right now because judging from his words, I think it was very difficult getting those number of merits and I believe if there is improvement in his knowledge of cryptocurrency,the forum and bitcoin it's going to be a smooth ride for him or her from now. I think the little achievement of the op will help to encourage and motivate him or her to study harder by giving more time for the forum to  learn more about bitcoin and I believe once the knowledge is achieved, contributing positively to the forum won't be difficult again for the op and that alone will help the op to get the merits to move to the next level of ranks. Let's always encourage the newcomers and low rank members I believe it will boost their moral to do more.

I'll only say good job, 50 merit isn't easy to get depending on how difficult it is to get to this level. When you get to 100 merit I hope you're going to throw a party for all members of this Forum 😁. I can't say congratulations to this because you still have a long way to go and if you keep praising yourself on getting to 50 merit I think is going to distract you on what you should focus on.
And it seems you want to become a merit source from what you saying, easy OP,  you have a lot in your plate... The journey has just begun.

I have posted something similar before in this forum. But, I am writing it again for you. First of all, congrats on where you are today. You may know which posts deserve merits since you have more than 50 merits. When I was in newbie rank, I thought the same as you, like earning merits is tough. It's somewhat true for a newbie or below full member rank.

If you expect you will get merits for all of your good posts, this won't happen, my friend. Sometimes good posts are overlooked as well. You have to be familiar with the forum people. You never know which good post will be evaluated. Even though you have spent over a year now, I barely seen any of your posts. Maybe you did not see me either.

Quality is better than quantity. Take your time to write constructive and exciting posts that people will find interesting to read. If you expect merits from all of your good posts, you will be disappointed that you wrote a good post, but no one noticed it. It's not like that. You have to prove yourself by writing multiple good posts. 

Great achievement and you are at a point where you have to do better. Getting the first 50 merits is an achievement that you achieve. But of course you don't have to settle for just 50 merits. Your journey is still long so there will be many tasks that you need to do. it is difficult or easy to get merit depending on how active the member is or making quality and useful posts. congratulation for you.

Those that are equal to the task will always keep going further. Everything is difficult to those who are not ready to learn. Learning is the first thing we need to embrace as a member of this forum and after that we can starts doing things amim the manner which we learnt from. Nothing comes easy so we need to work for everything we earn whether through stress or through extraordinary work input. If we keep saying or agitating that to get merits from the forum is hard then it will cost us so many months to understand that we need to work for it just like others that are getting it.
 

By complaining, they think they are making noise and will be noticed by merit sources, then receive some merit.

Congratulations for your achievement and most importantly for understanding how difficult it is to earn merits. It is only when you have understood a problem that you will solve it. I understand the feelings when you have stayed for so long in the forum, but  the people who seems to be newer are having good growth than you.
I can say luckily, you have started receiving attention because your merit count has increased from 50 to 56 after creating this post. But then it is not all about the merit count or rank growth but your growth in bitcoin knowledge.

In every beginners thread they are complaining seriously that merit if giving tough time to get and you will see good posts but they lack merit and theirs a way someone will complain about the difficulty of earning merit now and someone will feel like the person is desperate to earn merit but we need to exercise our franchise towards these, i know that to earn a merit you most make a quality post that impact knowledge to people, but many quality post's are out there and they remain unmerited

One thing I have to advise beginners is that don’t be too obsessed with this meriting system. The forum is not all about getting merits, but the most important thing here is we are learning a lot especially from the experiences that have been here ahead of us. And learn lessons from them so that we will never repeat their mistake and eventually regret later on.

However, if your primary goal is to obtain profits through participating from signature campaigns, then maybe you should work on how to get merits. Just enjoy your stay here and learn as much as you can. Soon enough you will be able to make constructive posts that will make you capable to earn merit.

And to add to what "Agbe" said, I will want to clarify the notion that earning merit on this forum is not measured by how long spent on the forum, but how active you were able to contribute meaningfully to discussions raised and offering quality solutions to questions asked, as for example, member "A" might have registered on the forum since last year August & yet still has only 50merits, due to the fact that he/she rarely come visit the forum & contribute to discussion, while a member "B" might just be 3 months old on the forum & have already gotten 200 merits due to his/her activeness & quality contribution here.

To get merit in this days is much more easier than even the time I started the forum. I really struggled to get merit but not in this days that newbies who registered in this year has received more than 200 merits. Though to get merits is not hard if you contribute qualitatively to threads then you will receive it.

Judging from the picture above I don't think you have enough smerits to send out after receiving about 16 merits for the 120 days and you already sent out 2 which you are now left with 6 merits, but however 55 merits should be 26 smerits left but from https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3492563 you seems to have spent only 10 or 11 merits now left with 14 smerit I might be wrong or true but I know is something similar.

Well I don't think you are on a higher standard to start reviewing post because first, your smerit can't cover the cost of reviewing people's post maybe I think you can freely give out to those post you feels that are good here in this topics instead of stressing people post their post here for a review. This really look so childish and I don't even expect anyone to post topics here for a review maybe a higher rank member would also support by willing helping to review those post for them to be merited.

However I don't really think earning merits are that challenging because only if you know what you are doing then you must surely earn merits that would probably propel you to the next level, moreover do not try to see this merit of a thing as a limitation to you rather devote time study broadly and equipped yourself with useful materials over here, maybe also try to be more supportive by showing interest in the areas were you found valuable or having much knowledge to what the particular thread is saying about.

Your efforts to help the members with few merits left to reach the next rank is highly commendable and I appreciate your kind gesture but don't you think you can actually send out your xmerits to others when you find out that the user teaches something that is useful to the forum or to you? I believe there are so many threads that has been created for review of posts and some forum established members has also created threads where users with few merits left to their next rank are advised to apply so they can be merited I think you can spend the xmerits you have got without requesting for reviews of post seeing that you have no much xmerit because you have a total of 55merit according to your profile.

OP, why are you holding your smerites? Do you need to create a separate thread and look important to rate the posts of several people? What posts do you find interesting? Isn't it possible to distribute your merits in the process of communication?
I am pushing all of this so that you can understand that if you are very sensitive about giving someone your smerites, did you think that other people would be just as careful with your posts?
I'm always amazed at the avarice of these people. You are looking for a worthy post, but you are sure that all your posts are appreciated according to your standards?

Be simple, and people will be drawn to you.

It depends on you knowledge and the quality of the post. Mostly people send merits whey they found a post useful. I can see you are very pretty well since getting 50 merits is not so easy for a newbie. But when you get used to it you will rank up fast. I can still remember my journey to become full member which still amaze me.

Just don't be obsessed with getting merits. Maintain your post quality you will get merits and rank up eventually.

The ease and difficulty of getting merits depends on the perception of each member, the 55 merits that you get indicate that you understand very well how to get merits. When you feel that Merit is difficult to obtain, that's when you start not believing in your own potential. If that thinking continues, then you will continue to be in a hole of failure. Positive thinking needs to be prioritized on something that is considered difficult, as long as you are willing to learn by adopting the way other members make posts, you will easily get merit.
