How do you feel when someone gives you MERIT?
I don't think it is a necessary matter to be discussed. This question is the same as when you ask someone about "how he/she feels when getting a gift?". It is not a proper topic to be discussed in Meta. IMOWe know people view merit differently. Each person may have a different perception about the importance of merit, it can be an extraordinary thing, a usual thing, or a useless thing. Some people probably think merit as a form of appreciation for our post quality, so they try to improve their post quality. While in another case, people may think merit is only applied to valuable information, so they do more often share valuable information. But there are some people even don't care about merit because they think merit is useless. They never use merit for any purpose, and they assume merit never be a measure of member quality. According to this assumption, we can conclude how they feel once getting merits. No need to ask the question.
In short I've tried to include it in this thread, but it may not describe my true feelings about the merit system.
As far as I understand and experience, the merit system has motivated me to post something useful. Some people may still think it's bullshit but of course we have a different point of view. Every time someone gives me merit on a post, then I will usually try to read it again why the post is useful for them or others. I don't know if it's good or bad for me to keep doing it, but there's a nice feeling when I manage to hit a new milestone for the amount of merit I've earned.

I actually thought that I couldn't get any merit or even a single merit at all but I was advised that this forum is not about merit but doing the things that this forum is what it's supposed to be which is share, learn, discuss and help. Though there are some people who didn't do those things but only came here to spam, scam and earn without thinking the things that it bring to bitcointalk forum. Because of that, the forum's staff work double time to delete those spam messages. By the way, it made me feel happy that I received a merit which made me think that I also did contribute to the forum ny receiving a merit especially from those well known forum users.
Actually I become curious when I receive the notification from the telegram about received merit and what can be the reason why I get it, then happy as well but not that much excited as I did something remarkable since I am not a fan of giving much attention about the merit. Just happy and curious nothing else.
There is a power in merits. When you recieve merits, it's either you experience the positive or negative aspect of the power.
When I was a newbie, I didn't know the much essence of merits. I created a somewhat controversial topic which led to divers option and counter opinions from reputable members. I received so many attacks because the forum members believed I was relatively new to make such a proposal. The topic didn't receive a merit, but when I started engaging users in the comment session, I was surprised when I received merit from someone who didn't align with my idea, but due to I presented a resounding and solid argument, I was merited by him.
Honestly, that singular act gave me a whole lot of understanding about the merit system and how it works. On a norms, I wouldn't merit someone who is opposing my view, but with the merit system, the story is different.

Merit ruined my life.
The merit that ruined your life, let it ruin mine also(lols). I want to experience how it feels."Merit ruined my life" is something shitposters used to say. It confirms the Merit system works.

Merit ruined my life.
The merit that ruined your life, let it ruin mine also(lols). I want to experience how it feels. The joy it gives when you are on the top can be highly insane cause it's never an easy journey. It took a lot of sacrifices of making good posts. Thinking of how you started, and where it has landed you.
Am still an upcoming star(member), believing that I will turn out to be a celebrity someday(legendary) like you
Merit ruined my life.
I'd honestly love too see a brief writing about this! Would you ? Please!!!!Ion mean too bring back old memories, buh might be a motivation or lesson to me or any!
How do the people I have given merit feel? Do they have the same feelings as me like being happy and feeling valued. or each level has a different feeling.
I guess everyone here then felt the same way receiving merit the first few weeks/months it was instituted. Now I can say the feelings are different. Some users don't care any more whether they receive it or not, especially if they're highly ranked to legendary.When I saw merits on it which were 4 from different senior members I felt like someone that just won an academic award. And seriously that even affected my mood throughout the day and was where my love for the forum escalated.
This is reason enough to merit any newbie who has meaningful posts out there. You never can tell how that makes their day. This is why we all have to share love, life doesn't end in this forum.To merit or not to merit, that is the question.
... And 
Merit ruined my life.

before i became a merit source getting merits was important mainly in the fact that it increased the merit i could give others for useful posts.
also, as i am 99% a shitposter i am usually surprised when a post of mine gets merited.

When it was first implemented back in 2018, it was satisfying actually like you got someone's attention but overtime it felt like it is just similar to me getting upvoted in Reddit through comments (I do not post a lot lol) and it just happened that I do not look at the merit count anymore when I post in here. I just wanted to join into conversations about any topics that I seem to be interested and that's it.
It is also similar to me by the way when I get reacts from any sort of Facebook posts I made, and I don't even know anymore how much is that "99+" notification to me right now nor do I care.

Somehow someone will be so eager to express their feelings when they get merit 1,2,3,4 and so on. I felt burned because of the merit system at first because I almost got promoted to become a Hero member (I mentioned several times), and I've felt stuck for a while but for my efforts in terms of improving and improving the quality of posts since then I'm enjoying the results now because the Legendary has been achieved.
Some of the feelings about getting merit of course will probably be the same among most people as it can be used as fuel to burn your motivation to earn more to rank up. But I'm sure some would still be different especially if merit wasn't that important to him.

Final message: if you've accumulated sMerits, please do your best to pass them on. It keeps the merit system well oiled.
I barely even have it now. 
What's merit?
*ehem* *ehem*
Merits is something you receive if you're an expert in crybto and bitcorn and you participating and contributing to the lives of every single hooman in the entire world with your knawledge.
I newbie, but I understand merits and you should always contribute to hab merits to help forum.*insert generic over-used inspirational quote here*
Now gib merits.
It gives me a sense of satisfaction that someone read my post and showed some appreciation for my post, or my attempt to propagate some thought into a certain topic in the forum. Because the number of signature-led posts is in large number in this forum, many posts go unattended by merit sources even those genuinely handing over merits to every thread.
However I try to help newbies out on trading and in general how to handle bitcoin, which I am well versed in and getting merited there makes me say a mental "thank you".
Hence I do check back to see which post of mine got merited recently when I come back to the forum, and who was the merit sender.

To merit or not to merit, that is the question.

The thing I can't give you, because I've already sent you 50 this month. What's merit?
It has something to do with cycling. Jump to:
