Topic: I am on the way to Legendary rank, after 2 years (only lack of activities) - page 3. (Read 1964 times)

Anyone who have the interest of the forum at heart will agree to this especially if that individual have been around for at least two of those three eras (stages) you listed above. This system (merit) brought about more informative, educational and captivating topic. The merit system have achieve its initial purpose (that's bringing about quality discussion). We just have to build on it from here henceforth.

OP, congratulations on your soon to rank up. Thought you'll get there before @cabalism13 though you're almost there. It has been a journey, can remember our days of Full member like yesterday, another user I'm routing for is @r1s2g3. Took you guys long enough though congratulations.

It's definitely harder to rank up these days, and certain posts are more likely to get merit. For example, the statistics users are chucking out via data scraping, and all that will be more likely to receive merit, because its both informative, and out of the capability of many of the users here. There's been 3 stages of ranking up if I remember correctly here on Bitcointalk. First of all, ranking up was tied to amount of posts you had (activity wasn't implemented at this time) then activity got introduced, and there were a few moans, and groans about it. Finally, the merit system was implemented, and has had the most criticism, and impact on the forum. I personally believe its had a positive impact on the forum, and is the better system of all three. 

Reaching to any rank you wish of depends on how information you passed and research you carried out using statistics as illustrations. Bitcointalk then (2017) and now is not the same. Then you can ranked up without merit but now requires merit for you to be ranked up. Albeit your post has be lovely since from day one you registered as member on bitcointalk

I think I find a user which is similar with me that is not a good topic starter. I think that is the reason too why I'm struggling with merits (a bit ). I'm just posting what I know (stock knowledge ) but you're a few merits away too from becoming a solid Hero Member.

To the OP, what can I say . I have seen your contributions here on the forum and I can only say congratulations and don't stop contributing here . This is just one proof that the ones who are contributing are the ones who will rank up and those who are just spamming are the ones who don't rank up (including me).

You're almost there, someehat close enough to see the door, just like me what I'm suppose to do now is to knock and hope that there will be someone who'll open it. And unlike you my friend, I am not a good topic starter, I'm just using what I have learned from life to gain a common reasoning to share with the others, though some are not accepted by them.

You will definitely reach it, just a little bit more. And only a few weeks will it take as I can see it from your profile. Good luck buddy! Just continue doing what you believe is right.

P.S. make a new merit club already 😂 the "ILoveYou3000"

Yeah, and I really miss the campaign, we were a solid team that time and I thought it would last and you can rank up their to become a Hero Member.
Anyway, for sure more campaigns will come in the future with a better rate and a long term one.

First, I want to say thanks to all of you. Some of you are right that I should make this thread when I already rank up to Hero Member.
I thought of it previously, but I think that why do I have to share my journey, two or three months later? Because the earlier I share it, the earlier others whom still stucked with their dissapointment, might be motivated from my thread. Then, they can save their two or three months of dissapointments and do nothing. Instead, they will use those months to improve themselves. I do think it is better for them.

You will do hit the Full Member rank.
This guy: CucakRowo is a very good case study for you. Two days ago, he/she was a Member, and now he/she became a Full Member, with total merits stood at 128, currently. This account created on March 12, 2018, it means he/she spent 16 months to move from zero to Full Member; but within two days (or less than two days), he/she received 28 merits, that equal to 28 percent of total merits earned during previous 16 months.  
Merit system does not stop users to rank up, it motivates them to become better users, everyday. They can change from shit posters to good posters. After months of adaptation to merit system, their posting habits become better, and some day it will become their natural good posting habit. They can make good posts without efforts, without over-thoughts on merits.
Appreciated. It seems that we were in Bitblender campaign, right? I think I will do rank up sooner than the end of this year. In average, I receive around 40 to 50 merits per month.  

Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Fantastic journey of one Bitcointalk member.
You have my support for new Hero rank.

I am on the road to Full Member station

You're a try-hard. Try logging off your computer and visiting a local park or something... seriously.

This is a niche internet forum where 99.99% of the population doesn't give a shit about your status.

Great testimony, thank you for sharing tranthidung.
I know that many users on the forum are not happy with merits requirements and feel they are in a bad position compared to older users because it is much harder for them to progress in the forum.
Your example shows that this is not the case and that everyone here was rewarded fairly, according to their work and effort.

I agree, it doesn't have to do in meta anyway.

Let @tranthidung post it, besides the journey isn't that easy and we all knew that thus for sure everyone will be overwhelmed if this gonna happen to them. Congratulations btw!

Congrats in advance mate, I think you'll finally become a Hero before the end of the year, though we don't post the same boards but I can notice your posts that are seemed to be helpful, with that said, I think you deserve to rank up soon.

I meant I estimate my time to move between Senior Member rank and Hero member rank, from March to next one or two months. The estimated period does not start from today.
By the way, I think you should use default font of the forum, which is easier to read.
I don't think you should use this font. It is not a good strategy to differentiate yourself from others.

That font looks better on my phone. Anyway, I still don't like it. San-serif fonts are better.

What i like (mostly) from your thread and posts  are you always write using data & you always use parameters to compare the data that you present.
With all your activities, i believe (like you mentioned before) you can reach hero member ranks less than 5 months (not 7 months, start with this comment).
Congratulations on going to the next stage, HERO MEMBER

If this post is geared at encouraging others, then it should be moved to the beginners board and if it is otherwise, it'll be better to wait till you're a hero member to tell us your story/achievement.
