Rule Number One: You do not talk about merit.
Rule Number Two: You do not talk about merit.
Rule Number Three: Merit breaks lives.

I was just thankful that this past month the issues were about the continuous drop in BTC price and the issue about merit is subsidized, when everyone will stop talking about then it's like a normal thing that some of us doesn't have merit but we keep pushing on being helpful in the forum.

It seems to me that the best way to get merit is posting in the meta section. A lot of you guys here have merit, everywhere else, I don't see it as much.

Meta received 8,81% of total sMerit from the 1st of June 2018 onwards, so 91,19% has been awarded to other boards. There are therefore plenty of other awarded sections. Meta probably has some of the most interesting conversations going on, and that attracts higher quality posters probably than boards that are a complete swamp of spam.

The base of it all is still being capable of creating a decent content. Without that capability, it doesn’t matter where you post. Placing a three legged into a race is going to lose wherever you decide to place it.

When I was younger, I joined a Karate school ( I didn't respect the style and switched to Wing Chun, but that's another story), and one of the first questions that the instructor asked new members was "Why do you want to learn Karate?", and one of the members replied " I want a black belt". His reponse to that was to take off his belt and give it to the new pupil, and he pointed out that he had achieved his ambition, but it was worth nothing. So many new members here have the same attitude. They want merits just to be able to make worthless posts to earn bounty, and they don't consider the far greater rewards that come from learning a skill. Bitcoin Talk provides a wonderful opportunity for new members to expand their knowledge, and to improve their communication skills. This will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives. Merit should be an measure of your personal development, and not a ticket to a few scammy coins that probably won't be worth much anyway.

Wearing a black belt won't help you to defend yourself, mastery of Chi Sau will. What good is it to become a Legendary, if you still can't communicate in decent English, or have a working knowledge of Bitcoin.

Good story! I thought about learning English only after visiting this forum. All new and interesting information first appears in the English threads. So for me, this forum gave another impetus to the development of myself.

Every one wants merits, Specially when you are a bounty hunter just keep posting don't think too much about merits,

I totally disagree with this line. I am a bounty hunter myself and to be honest I am satisfied with my rank now. Why? cause i know that i'm still lacking knowledge about the whole cryptocurrency in general. There is a saying that knowledge is power which is true but I also believe that manners and good deeds will earn you respect. Try to observe this forum and you will see a lot of posters who are losing their dignity and manners just to earn those precious MERITS. Knowledge + Respect will surely make you a great person and nobody can take that from you.

NOTE: Not only quality post can earn you merits but also a helpful post.

Actually, it is probably better if you do think about merits right from the start, and not go down the “just keep posting” road without it in mind. Now the idea is not to have merits in your mind like if it were of divine nature. Neither are they something you get in a lottery or raffle that you participate in, with better chances the more you post. Posting one-liner non-contributive posts as if there was no tomorrow will never get you any merit.

I’d rather people did have them in mind, as a feasible (yet scarce) feat, but understanding how your posting habits need to adjust to a better nature and contribution to the forum. It is way better to write less posts with much more thought/research, than being a Forest Gump poster that will eventually either be nuked, or arrive at Forest’s abrupt conclusion: "I’m pretty tired" (of posting jibberish). "Think I’ll go home now" (quit posting and do something else).

I broke 10 of the 20 merit's commandments.

1. Nobody knows when he will get a merit
2. Never rely on receiving a merit
3. Do not tell anyone about the merit
4. No one owes you merit
5. And merit himself does not
6. Because it simply merit
7. The volume of text does not affect the reception of merit
8. And the pictures also do not affect
9. And even humorous pictures do not affect
10. Merit is received - when they forget about it
11. The more you chase after the merit - the faster it runs away from you
12. To deceive yourself by "hammering a bolt" will not help - it measures the true desire
13. Do not listen to anyone - write what you think
14. It happens that merits do not go by themselves.
15. Merits have allergy to bounty and copy-paste
16. Love for merit is non-reciprocal, it is worth understanding and living with it
17. Merit does not like being asked
18. Merit does not tolerate pity and does not come to tears
19. Merit will not give new knowledge
20. And does not add zeros to the bank account

Only after gaining knowledge - merit will cease to be the main goal.
And when he measures it, he will come himself

(I found these commandments in the Russian topic, but perhaps this is not the original - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.35267149)

How many commandments have you violated? Wink

It is very hard to get merit because your posts must have quality, sense and valueable. For you to recieve merit. And also not everyone will see your post. You need more experiences in btc to learn about it.

Most of the merits comes from merit sources. They are higher ranked members only but I am sure that they keep in mind the current rank of a member before judging his posts or awarding merits to him.

I am also hopeful to this one. I think the expectations of Merit Sources should vary from one rank to another. You cannot expect superb post from a newbie compare to a full rank member, hence we must extend more grace to the newbies.

Guys, guys, guys! Why is it so much whining about merit? What do you need it for so badly? If you came to this forum to get a communication and to learn something new - you can have it with or without merit, no differense about rank. If you came here to make money - then it should be hard for you to get merit. Yes, before this system you could get rank up just for posting and now you can`t. So what? Life changes, people. There is no "free money" in the world. You want that rank up - you try your best to be useful to the community. And stop complaining, for God`s sake. I`m like 2 weeks on the forum and I got sick already. Noboby going to cancel it anyway, and thanks admins for that.

particularly to the lower-ranked participants that sincerely preference to rank up not only that you're so blessed to emerge as a complete-member prior the merit gadget subsequently we should make bigger some sympathy to them but the information being shared inside the forum is already large in quantity making it tough to begin a specific and original topic. In my case, I striving to have great posts and removing the burden of wondering the way to earn an advantage. however, I can not completely say that I already acquire that nation of thoughts. If you may inquire from me to state five reasons for posting, then I will say that getting a benefit is one among my pinnacle 5

Merit system is blessing only for those who have created accounts on bitcointalk prior to Dec 2017. They were rewarded merits just because they are old on this forum.
New comers joining this forums now are going to have tough time to get merits, in fact really hard.

Making it worse for newbies because they only know little stuff and all of their current knowledge come from the forum - how can they start a topic that interests a higher-ranked members (please be reminded that only higher-ranked members can give merit/s) if what they know are only so-so?.

Most of the merits comes from merit sources. They are higher ranked members only but I am sure that they keep in mind the current rank of a member before judging his posts or awarding merits to him.

No doubt, that making a unique post now is a difficult task but it is not that hard. What I have seen is that posts with personal experiences related to crypto or this forum always gets merits.

While I think that new rules are very useful for forum, and people with knowledge will still get thir rank up, it's undeniable that a lot of people were just lucky to register here before new system and earn their ranks without real contribution, I believe that's what he is referring to.

Partially true but there are people who are in the forum for years and done a lot for the forum. For them only, we are seeing the forum we have now. How about them? They deserved it. Every system starts from some points and feature like merit was needed to protect the forum. Instead of focusing on negativity OP should focus on the good stuffs happening on the forum since the merit has been introduced.

OP really needs to see there are people who started from 0 (like he has now) and achieved 100s of merits. List of members achieved 0 to 100 and plus merits - hope this will give OP and others some encouragements.

PS: Truth is - people like OP will hardly change unless they change their mindset.
