Yes, of course you have to get merit to change/raise your rank, but you have to meet other requirements besides getting merit, in the form of Activity.

New/Beginner (0 activities, 0 achievements) Member
junior (30 activities, 1 achievement required)
Members ( 60 activities, 10 achievements required)
Full member (120 activities, 100 achievements required)
Senior members (240 activities, 250 achievements required)
Hero members (480 activities, 500 achievements required)

Yes absolutely correct mate not just merit can take you to a high rank but Activity as well. Yes merits is very useful for everyone of here in order to to see ourselves if we are doing great or not because once the other user gaves you merits. It because they will like your post or they learn something from your topics. And lastly like what other said above the moderator implemented the merit system in order to prevent spam and low quality post.

Unfortunately without merit you can't rank up and this only happened as a way to fight forum spam and low quality posts that went rampant few years back , but don't sweat it, the merit system is easy to understand using the analogy of how humans need food to grow and that food is in the form of merit here & without it you won't grow...

The Merit system improved the forum to a large level according to old timers here

It was a means to help fight spamming and bounty hunting machines who post all for the sake of earnings.

All that really matters now is how well you cintrubute to the forum and make your post educative fir others to learn. You need merit and activity to get higher and higher. But becoming a better poster and improvement in on self is all that mean now

I'm also newbie, as a beginner so if you want to rank up and earn merits, you need to contribute and make quality posts to show that you're active. When you put in the effort to produce quality posts, you'll start earning merit for your contributions to the forum, and as soon as you do, you'll rank higher than you think.

As per the rules enacted from 24th January 2018, a user of the forum must earn adequate merit to achieve the next rank. It is definitely an effective rule that enables forum discussions to be more meaningful. Since the forum is a platform for discussion of different kinds of things with receiving and giving merit against meaning full knowledgeable or informative post, no one can achieve any rank without having it. But if one uses his or her talent it is possible to easily achieve the rank within the specific time frame. We know the clear road map on how a newbie can achieve that top rank. If a newbie wishes, then he or she can gradually move towards the goal.

Posting on bitcoin discussion and beginners may be a good place for you, you can follow the discussion by providing weighted responses and not just one line. if you have limited insight, you can first read about the topic being discussed, then you can respond to what you can respond well to. the more often you do it the more accustomed it will be. You've been on this forum long enough and you already know what to do.
someone will not give you merit if your post does not deserve it. you really have to try. it's not easy to rank up, but if you keep learning you can do it easily.

I understand your frustration because you have 112 posts and not yet rank up to JR.Member and still in a newbie rank, I checked your post history some of them deserve merits but unfortunately, they're unnoticed, I merited one of your posts that deserves it and encourage you to keep up creating posts like that, the one I merited, once you get the habit of posting relevant and good posts the merits will come automatically.

I just created my account today after scrolling through these forums for a few months. I am a newbie who doesn't have the intricate knowledge of cryptocurrency so how can I contribute to topics if I have no knowledge on them? I am going to start researching and reading a lot in the next few days and hopefully get merited. Thanks for your suggestion!

you don't have to immediately have to contribute to topics. if you have no knowledge on said topics you can either search them up or ask here on the forum. to be honest, if your only reason for reading and learning is to get merit you might get disappointed. not every post gets merited even if it is useful. my advice is to read and learn not because of might get merits when you post but because you are actually curious and wants to learn.

Now the main thing is that you should be active in the forum regularly, share good information, give constructive posts regularly. Then you can change your rank in future days. If your constructive post doesn't get merit then you can earn merit by sharing your posts in below threads.

Without merit, one cannot advance in rank.

Your total number of merits indicates the significance and quality of the contributions you have made in this forum and how many of those posts have been recognized by forum members. A good poster and a poor poster can be distinguished from one another using merit. Every member of this forum requires it in order to advance in rank, maintain relevance, and reap the rewards, such as taking part in bitcoin-paying campaigns.

It doesn't like in the past before 2018 where you can rank up if you only have activity, merit is a way to prevent from spammers and low quality post users. So if you don't get any merit, it mean you're a shitposter.

Your conclusion is a bit controversial, but it's true that shitposters won't get merit in most cases. But you know, today's shitposter are smarter than old shitposter who are probably more busy with shitcoin bounty, they tend to have a way to get 1-2 merit from different users in a particular thread.

I also didn't get many merit in November 2022, only about 4 merit from 4 different users. Then am I a shitposter? Cheesy

If you want to rank up on this forum, you have to make quality post, if any member of the forum think your post is useful, then they might merit it. If you check this thread, you will understand the amount of merits required and activities required to attain a particular rank (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbies-read-before-posting-1689727). If you keep on posting, your post count and your activities will keep on increasing but your merit will never increase automatically if anyone did not merit your post.

Just as other have mentioned you need both forum activities and merits to rank up in the current forum ranking system, your merits must meet up with your fun activities requirements and merit are awarded by other members of the forum for your quality contributions, but from activities come organically from you posting on the forum your activity is generated automatically in every two-week cycle 14 activities in one activities cycle will be awarded base on your posts counts.

Quote from: LDL on December 31, 2022, 12:58:11 AM

18 June 2013 to 23 January 2018 requires activity with Bitcoin forum posts. Brand New requires 0 posts 0 activities, Newbie 1-28 posts 28 activities, Junior members 30 activities, Members 60 activities, Full members 120 activities, Senior members 240 activities, Hero members 480 activities, Legendary members 960 activities.

Since 24th January 2018, activity as well as merit system has been introduced. Now it's not just about activity but it has to have merit number.

The higher the rank, the more merits you need. Also you need minimum number of activities and merits to attain each rank... So, merit is not just the thing that you need for ranking up.
You can have maximum of 14 activities every two (2) weeks (please correct me if I'm wrong), meaning if you have more than 15 posts on that time frame, only 14 will be added to your activity count. This is also the reason that most users here has more post count than activity count.

Pretty much explained by the above posts, being this one particularly insightful into your specific case. Take it constructively, but many merited posts are not generated by a quick thought, but rather require the author to elaborate a bit more based on either his already pre-acquired knowledge, or cross-referencing reading different sources on a matter, in order to become more fluent in it. Generally speaking, conversations taking place in off-topic are not going to be of much interest, and subsequently, won’t postulate to obtaining merits.

Fun fact: You can, in fact, be re-ranked, though that is more of an anecdote, and takes place when posts are deleted by one or other party, to the point of losing Activity:

Of course, those who don't get Merit will never rank up. even though they made 1k posts on the forum.
We've been told a lot about the rules, and a few threads you should probably read first.

If you think your post is of good quality but seems to be being ignored by other users, sure, there's a thread for you to request a review.
Merit shouldn't be difficult to obtain. many new members have proven it. they rank up very quickly.

OP, now you get 2 Merits, that's pretty good. now you are a Jr. member and will soon reach Member rank. but it's up to you, want to try, or will remain in your seat.

Merit and activity is most important thing if you need to rank up. Like what Despario gives you the link above, all you need to know about how to rank up is already there, all you need is to read and understand it. Also you can not earn merit if you don't create a good post cause if you post a spam reply or low quality post then it's hard to ea merit. As we all know that merit source or all user here in in forum finds a good and quality reply to give a merits.
