Topic: How many post I do post to get upgrade - page 2. (Read 356 times)
Due to changes in forum ranking sysytem, both the activities and merits are now compulsory to rank uo from current possition. I urge you not to mind merits until you acquire sufficient activity points, keep posting and once you have sufficient activity points for next rank, then you can point out some of your quality posts and collect them to a specific thread where you may be given merits
Is there any limit to give out merits for an individual? As a newbie can I still get merits or I need to be at least member to be eligible?
Read post from theymos, maybe can help u.
In addition to activity, everyone now has a merit score, and you need both a certain activity level and a certain merit score in order to reach higher member ranks. The required scores are:
You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. Additionally, when someone sends you merit points, half of those points can be sent by you to other people.
Certain users are designated as "merit sources". They can create new merit out of nothing, up to a limited number per month (which differs per source). I will not be posting a definitive list of merit sources (so that people don't bug them too much), though you'll soon figure out who they are if you pay attention.
There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.
I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
- Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.
- Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.
While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.
Do not beg for merit excessively.
Useful infographics
Forum users have helpfully created some infographics to explain the merit system:
paxmao's infographic
ibminer's infographic
8Habits's infographic
JetSet11's infographic
zentdex's infographic
alia_armelle's infographic
If you want to be a merit source:
1. Be a somewhat established member.
2. Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
3. We will take a look at your history and maybe make you a source.
I am especially eager to have merit sources in sub-communities such as the local sections.
Trivia:
For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank. Of that, a certain amount (less than the usual half) is spendable. The spendable amount was calculated based on your current rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.
If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.
There are stats here, and you can find someone's merit summary by clicking the "merit" link on their profile.
| Rank | Required activity | Required merit |
| Brand new | 0 | 0 |
| Newbie | 1 | 0 |
| Jr Member | 30 | 0 |
| Member | 60 | 10 |
| Full Member | 120 | 100 |
| Sr. Member | 240 | 250 |
| Hero Member | 480 | 500 |
| Legendary | Random in the range 775-1030 | 1000 |

As what others say, just continue posting until to rank up. Jr. Member is the firs stop. The only concern now it the merit program. because you really have to post constructively in order to gain this and it is also bitcointalk user can give you this.

There has been a change in ratings. to rank up. You need to have enough merit in each respective category. So rising ratings are now very difficult
Actually he doesn't need any merits to be able to reach the Jr. Member rank. Anyway, at OP you need to have 30+ activity points to reach a Jr. Member level. Every two weeks you'll get 14 activity points assuming your actively posting.
BTW, your on the wrong sub-forum. You must be posting this thread to Beginners Help sub-forum.
