Topic: HOW THIS WORKS?? (Read 303 times)

That would be cheating!!!! 

Well, merits and leveling-up kind of go hand in hand. Once you get to activity of 14, the restrictions on how often you can post are lightened. When you post frequently (and good quality), other users reward you with merit which you combine with your activity to move up rank.

Good luck 

Actually I've been wondering, is there some kind of way to make a significant donation, money or work, that would get you full member instantly?

So I answered this question before, I wanted to share the answer with you too: the Merit system was introduced in January of 2018.  According to forum Administrator Theymos, "The merit system was done to increase the quality of the posts and to prevent the spam."  According to Theymos it does this in two ways:

1. 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.
2. Highlighting good posts with the "Merited by" line.

So 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.

"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."

As I said before there is much discussion about this on the "meta" section of bitcointalk.

Good luck to all us newbies!

There is no such option to update the membership . You have to write quality posts to increase your ranking. Ranking will increase based on Merit and activity. For more details go to newbiee section.

merits are based on the quality of your content. I would highly suggest you to post something which is helpful to others. your level will be upgraded based on your merits.

When you say membership, are you referring to copper member?
-Upgrading your membership status is paying amount to become upgraded.
or you just referring to Rank?
-as for rank to reach up Jr. Member you just have to increase your activity.

Visit this link https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-read-before-posting-1689727 and you gonna find the responses to your 2 questions and for your third question i don't think he exist a limit of post in bitcointalk

Maybe it's a good idea to read the sticky posts here in this topic!

What forum account levels are there?
There are multiple account levels on this forum, here is a quick list for all of them and how to get them:

You get merit points when someone sends you some for one of your posts. For more information, checkout Forum ranks/positions/badges and Merit & new rank requirements.

All answers in a single thread, and all you need to do to find it is to simply read the titles of all threads when you open this section (or any).
Here it is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-read-before-posting-1689727

We can level up if we ngepost to this forum. Every 2 weeks once activity only increases 14, so the difference between post and activity is, if post it contains posting in bitcointalk forum. If the activity is every 2 weeks will increase 14

The way this forum works is someone who does not know what a bitcointalk is asking and someone who knows better answers. The benefits of this bitcointalk forum we can share.

awesome resource... I'm a newbie too i'll go read it now

how to level up?

Newbie: Activity: 1. Merit: 0.
Jr. Member: Activity: 30. Merit: 0.
Member: Activity: 60. Merit: 10.
Full Member: Activity: 120. Merit: 100.
Sr. Member: Activity: 240. Merit: 250.
Hero Member: Activity: 480. Merit: 500

Legendary: Activity: 775 - 1030. The required activity to reach the Legendary rank varies for each user (random) between 775 - 1030 points.
Merit: 1000

In 2 week you just can add maximum 14 activity.

actually there are some ICO that gives opportunity to newbie member to follow signature campaign but of course very difficult to find it, even the end of this campaign signature to rank jr.member also quite difficult to find, therefore while raise your rank to jr.member better you also learn how this forum and what is in this forum, and after you reach rank jr.member you can follow signature campaign even at that time you surely have some knowledge ....

My friend of mine who referred me here says that I have to rank up first as a Jr. Member to be able to join some campaigns. 

If your problems are the interval time limit, you can increase your rank to copper member position that can reduce the interval post limit and you can also post images.

Check this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

Take note it's a paid membership so if you really need it you need to pay the membership.

However, if you are here for the signature campaign and you wanted to rank up then you must contribute here first in the forum to earn merits.

You just need to discuss things you know about, and learn new things before discussing them.
Never make a comment that's already been said 10s of 100s of times as that's what is considered a spam.

Refer to this thread: Comprehensive guide to Bitcointalk. Newbie friendly + calculator and infographic



Please refer to my thread:  Worried about Merits? I'm here to help.


There's a time limit that comes with each rank, it gets lowered down once you gain higher ranks.
Please refer to this reply by theymos: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2702160

There are loads of information on the subject in the "Meta" section of the forum. You can find that section by visiting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0
Just read the threads and replies before you post your question, It might be already answered.
Have a nice day.

Wow thank you for the info

you need to read this thread Comprehensive guide to Bitcointalk. Newbie friendly + calculator and infographic

you need to read this thread Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)

hopefully can help you to learn this forum, and you should learn it and read it carefully(read to completion and nothing to be missed), if there is still something you do not understand let us discuss further in this thread ....

Membership is depend on your posts' count and your contribution.

Engage in fruitful conversations and contribute to forums. It will all be good

Thank you that clears it up  if anyone can find more info that would be great!

By having the necessary requirements ( lower levels it's activity only, but you will also need merit if you want to rank up further down the road ( Jr member+).


A reward for making a good/constructive post, (usually). They're a requirement to "level" up as explained above.

The wait time between posts decreases if your rank increases.
There was a formula for it somewhere but i can't remember exactly where. It basically has nothing to do with the amount of posts you have, but rather your rank.

Can someone maybe a full time member or even a mod explain how these forums work?


How do you level up in membership?


whats merits?


does the limit of post get slower or faster the more you post?


If theres anything else I missed please inform me.


Thanks in advance )))
