Topic: How to get Merits (Read 430 times)

Im not really sure that we can earn merits with our constructive and helpful posts only, because I have read posts that helps and still ignored because givers are saving their merits to the best post only, which are done by the veterans here. Even if assuming I can post a good one, I think there's a little chance I'd be given a merit.

I did a helpfully post after that but i do not have merit anyone, so how do we go up.First of all you should have khowledge on what is merit and how does merit work, as for us newbie we can't give merit to others but other members who has merit themselves can give it to us, make a creative post based on what you know, don't copy too much on what the gooey says, have a knowledge and use your own way of word, then someone might like your  info then he can give merit...

Thank you for such a detailed interesting speech, and for the recommendations, it helped me a lot and was useful!)

Merits are nothing but the points you received for your quality content. Assume merit like Facebook like the feature where you post your content and if someone finds it interesting then he likes your post, similarly on bitcointalk if someone likes your post them he gives you merit points. However, there is a limited number of merit points that a member can give to another member, this capacity increases along with the incoming merit points. The best way is to gain knowledge and share it with others without asking them to give merits.

True, dude. This is just a symptom of how few are really following their own activity. They just seek for merit and more merit instead of having a discussion (as ours), making a point or just simply, as you've said, making bigger a question. I've seen too many times by now newbies trying to look like experts in a matter they don't even know a bit. But, whatever.
I don't know if you have seen the Jet Cash's new project about making good topics and increasing your topics and English skills. He just made a new sub-forum in here https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php
I've noticed you English is really good, instead of mine, which needs more study. Maybe you can help all us non-native to improve our skills by joining the Jet Cash Project.

Jet Cash has begun a project dedicated to helping people to improve their posting skills. You can check it https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php

Can you please help me or guide me or advice me to improve my post to earn merit, because im not really good in expressing of whats my really thought.can someone look my post and advice me ¤

I certainly agree with this, in fact, you're the first person to respond to me in a thread I didn't create. People are too concerned with how to make money and don't stop to consider what they bring to the community. We all know that many newbies tend to go the route of pretending to be extremely knowledgeable when it's apparent they aren't. When people ask, I try to stress how important it is to not pretend like you know something and that even if you don't have the knowledge, there's still possibility for you to earn merit by bringing something to the community, whether it be additional questions that you'd like to know the answer to, or and inflection that highlights your personality, there are many valuable traits people can bring that aren't strictly knowledge based.

Threads should be constructive, high-quality (boring because it has been recommended repeatedly in the forum); and in-context helpful.
I think one thread is only helpful if it occurs at the right place, and right time.
Some users find a topic, read the OP, then jump  directly to answer the OP question; I dont' think it should be like this because the OP question maybe anwered already somewhere in the topic.

I hate infographics, something like the most annoying stuffs in the forum, especially when it is overused by spammers.

Be careful! And please don't turn to merit beggars, don't bother those merit give-away contests with PMs, nonsense threads.

You can get merits by:

1) Making a constructive post here.

2) Posting an Infographic related to forum rules.

3) Participating in merit giveaway threads.

I checked your posts and you have not made any constructive post yet. Now there is lot of competition among members to make merit points and you will have to give exceptional performance here to get merits here.

Dear friends, there is a comprehensive thread in the forum that sufficiently discusses how to

see here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350

You must work hard to earn merits. Merits is given to people who really earned it. Read the comments of the post and then you comment .Do not just read the topic. Nothing in life comes easy.

Post some interesting info, and they'll come 

I see your post history ... and you expect to get a merit with a one liner posting, even if you write a post with more than 1000 characters but if it is not constructive at all and no meaningfull then you will not get it (merit).

Actually if you hardworking when posting something / others like your post, then you will get what you want (but try not to expect too much) ...

Try to read more about constructive and better quality postings, and do not forget to do some research before you post anything.

Yes, but I just have mentioned how difficult was for many people to achieve a high rank. Let notice I was talking about earning money here in the forum. In order to be able to work here with a good profit, it is usually needed an upstanding rank. In my previous speech, I was meaning how difficult has been for us all to become respectable members, we have been here for years, asking and answering questions and a big etc. Now, there are too many people seeking money instead of knowledge around here. And that's one of the reasons why the merit system had to be implemented. I was answering a person begging for some recognition before even making a research on this forum, being part, making good contributions and so. For, lately, this is the normal situation: people with no interest in the forum itself, but on the possibility of earning a few dollars.
Regarding your question, when the merit system was implemented it would be really unfair to put all members at the same level. You have a point, there are many members which occurs to be shitposted since the beginning, and this is going to be really difficult for them to rank up now (which is what the merit system was seeking). Of course, they are also legendary members with zero quality posts and tons of activity. Of course. But most of them aren't shitposting!!
There are too many respectable members here with tons of information, they are sharing all this knowledge at no cost to anybody, and they deserve each merit of their ranks. My example: I have a limitate number of sMerits  and I love to give away them in order to help and encourage people to make good posts. But I have to earn my own merits too if I want to give smerits to the people. So I try to work harder, much harder than before. To all ranks the merit system means a challenge.

The only thing I ask to those desperate newbies is tfor them to show some respect and to not be so obvious in their only goal: earn money. The forum is much more than a few coins or a place where you can earn a couple of dollars: is a community working on sharing their knowledge freely, and, between this knowledge, there is much information about how to earn some money by using crypto!!! Is not enough?? No. The people prefer to, instead of reading, to beg and beg and beg. They just seem to can't understand this is nor a charity website. If you want your place here, work. If you want to understand crypto, read.
If you just seek for people to give you something free, keep waiting and begging, for this is not going to happen.

Not that I disagree with the rest of your post, but wasn't the merit system implemented because it was too easy for people to join and become higher ranking? And when it was implemented, didn't everyone who already had an account get 100 merit instantly, even if their posts weren't very helpful? I see plenty of people with spam-quality posts and exactly 100 merit. No one is really complaining about not being legendary, but the requirements to get to even 'full member' status are very difficult.

I've been looking into your post history with the will of giving you some merit (because you said you made good contributions) and find anything of use. So just improve your contributions, try to make useful posts and to write properly (as much as you can) in English.
The forum is not a place where you can come and beg for something that implies true effort.
What I recommend?? Well, take a look at the most merited posts, and try to understand why are they succeeding and you not. Of course, you will find many merits unfairly given, because they are many farmers around here (cof cof ), but you will also see very remarkable posts from you can learn a lot.
Do not stay just in one section, explore the forum, for God's sake!! There is too much to learn in here, you've been here for a really short time, so just be humble and learn well how this works before coming and asking for rewards you don't deserve at all!!
Looking into your profile this is clear all that you want from this forum is earning money. Well, then you should know this is a really competitive place and you need time and constant effort to become someone in here (years!! like all of us have needed!!).
Before the merit system you needed years to become a legendary member, now it is going to take the same time and more discipline in the quality of your posting activity. Look around you, all of us have been here for years, years of effort, years of learning every day new stuff about the crypto.
Can you just appreciate it?? Our effort?? Our sleepless nights??

Everyone can earn merits by posting helpful and informational content and threads or posts. People can give you merits if they feel like you have posted something good and informational or if you answered their questions.

same qustion me thinks how do merits counts as specified usefull posts gives merits where me already posted helpfull pot before but not got a single merit bitcointalk  merit only gives merits to service providers thats for sure
