A few words to introduce myself and officially start the challenge.
I joined the forum in August of 2017, with some basics about MNTC project, that has turned to nearly a dead one now. In fact, during my early months in the forum, I joined without any real purpose, I even don't know the importance of Bitcointalk in crypto. Fortunately, I stood at the Full Member rank when merit system began
. Then, I nearly failed to earn single merit around one or two months after the beginning of merit system. The first shocking thing come to me when The Pharmacist left his tag on my account due to my bad English "
This user is a garbage shitposter who writes redundant posts in shitty English."
Being motivated by the feedback from The Pharmacist, I started to collect English books, first for my own interst to improve my English skills, especially the writing skill. After that, I decided to publish my collection there:
Collections for someone who would like to improve English skillsI moved very slowly, and more than one year after January of 2018, today I have 238 merits in total, just 12 merits left to reach the next rank for Senior Members.
I accepted to join the challenge, just for fun, but the main reasons is I would like to show that everyone can surpass challenges from merit system and rank requirements related to merit system. If someone does not give up, keep learning, improving, and contributing, someday that person will definitely can reach next rank. Importantly, merit system started to help real users to rank up to higher ranks, not to keep them stucked at low ranks.
There is the list of my topics:
Tips for newbies, who want to avoid over-quotingGuideline on posting images (with size adjustments), hyperlinksCollection of comprehensive guides on identify and avoid scam projectsTools for managers to check quality of posts (both merited & unmerited posts)[TIPS] to avoid plagiarism[Suggestion] Rules on Animated Images should be changed[Suggestion] Should the forum have new rule on campaign[6]: Reduces potential improvements on crypto knowledge: I meant by brainless spamming the forum, spammers will have less (or without) exposures to comprehensive boards, child boards, topics, posts, that in turn will result in decreasing chances to be exposed with knowledgeable things in the forum. Then, maybe spammers will spend years to spam in the forum without any improvements on their knowledge about crypto things.
I also run my own merit contest
1 merit per applicant who find qualifying posts or topics on Scam Related Issues
By the way, for next challenge-makers and challenge-takers, I suggest the OP to edit current rules with one new rule:
- Challenge-makers can only nominate candidates whom earned at least 80% of required merits for next rank.
This rule mostly makes sure that challenge-takers nearly start the challenge at the same line.
