Merits are given by the other members of the forum for the good quality posts you do. For Ranking you need both activities and Merits. Check the Ranking system below -

Quote from: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177

Brand New: 0 posts - 0 merit
Newbie: 1-29 activity - 0 merit
Jr. Member: 30-59 activity - 1 merit
Member: 60-119 activity - 10 merits
Full Member: 120-239 activity - 100 merits
Sr. Member: 240-479 activity - 250 merits
Hero Member: 480 activity - 500 merits
Legendary: Somewhere between 775 and 1030 activity -1000 merits

Activities and Merits are different and are not related to each other. Activities will be based on the number of posts you do. You can get 14 activities every fortnightly period. Activity is calculated using this formula -

Quote

activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Don't think about merits. You will get merits if you do some quality posts. Post some useful topics, spend some time to contribute on the forum, help the users by answering their queries. This will automatically get you merits.

Don't be afraid and pessimistic, you just need to know this. In the bitcointalk forum there are 131 service sources with a total generation of up to 21045 sMerit for each month. They are shared in almost all sections of the forum and will clearly provide merit to anyone who has the right to get them. You only need to do the best of what you have. The knowledge, experience you get in forums and various sources will make you the best "possible". Create posts that are useful for others, try to help other users of the problem and maybe they will be happy to give you merit.

Look at these people, they are the most generous people to distribute merit to all forum communities. Therefore, don't be afraid and you just need to start doing your best.

While you're at it, might as well follow some rules to make sure your post doesn't get deleted by the mods. For example, posting multiple times in a row is not allowed.

The forum rules thread should be easy to find. It's pinned on the Meta board.

I guess you realized by now that merits aren't based on activity. You could have 1000 activity and still have zero merits. Follow the suggestions made by tk808 and jerometash. Don't listen to people who say getting merit is hard, you won't gain anything from that. Perhaps you can also read stories of other members on how they ranked up on this link https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/inspirational-stories-from-self-made-promoted-users-5100307

I read some here saying it's hard to get merits, why not submit here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/self-moderated-report-unmerited-good-posts-to-merit-source-5093271 if you believe your posts deserves to be merited.

The rule is simple. Just make quality posts and also try to help other members. Merit will come to you anytime.

Just a word of advice. You don't have to make consecutive posts for each reply. You can quote different replies in one post and answer each of them in one post.
What you just did up there could be considered spamming and it makes the thread untidy and hard to follow for readers

The Merit system is something that is given on a voluntary basis to people who produce useful content in the forum. Producing quality content, not activism, plays a key role in order to receive Merit. Threads that specifically benefit other users, inform them, and offer new opportunities for them are often more often awarded with merit.

Oh wow! I got that now. But for a start, who has merit to give to others? if i want to merit a post, and I don't have any, can I buy to merit someone or i'll have to wait until I am being merited and can merit others?

Quote from: Fappanu on October 19, 2019, 12:07:55 PM

Just do what you are doing now, This is the way you will have merit, Just post and join conversations that will give you the opportunity to share what you know and help others too. And to thank you they will give you merit.

This is not particularly difficult if you know what you are doing and you have no violations of the law in our forum.

Thank you for this. i wish I can merit this as well.

I have been up and running lately on Bitcointalk cos of the much like i have for it, even mere the name is a turn on for me. After skimming through the community rules, I couldn't assimilate a part that deals with "the merit and ranking". So, I thought asking on here would give me the perfect answer i seek.

More so, I see often, some newbies having good amount of merits and wondered how they got it even while my activity is more than theirs. I am here to ask if anyone can please open my eyes to what i need to do to earn some merits or something I just need to lodge some cryptos and have my account overflown with it?

How about one day you will just see that you have a merit or more, only if you contribute on this forum though, what are you good at? there must be something you are good at that can help others, security, troubleshoots, idealism etc ,if you contribute or help others you will surely get ranked up

Now I see that. A good heastart for me. Thank you.

The merit system is pretty heavy stuff. Users have limited supply of sMerrit, I had ran out within a few days of receiving it when the system was first introduced and it was never replenished. I see a lot of good posts and threads but can't tip them merit because I don't have any Huh

. It really pushes the user to improve their post quality and grind to move up in rank. I have given up on chasing merit, but I still try to practice the Due Diligence of improving my post quality regardless.

Encouraging! I was just curious trying to know how exactly to get it cos i wish to reward some posts in here. I have seen good posts that i wish to reward but i have none. Thank you for sharing.

Merit is based on the quality of your posts and is almost entirely subjective. I've awarded you some merit based on this post and 1 other post that had decent quality, but most of your activity and posting is limited to bounty campaigns or talking about specific alt-coins (which I don't merit users on).

All in all, the best way to earn merit is through Bitcointalk Meta. On a regular basis, i award many users merit in Alt-discussions (this sub-forum) for quality of posts or engaging discussions.

Some other users have posted resources in this thread for you to understand the system further.

Bitcointalk's merit system is functioning very well. What I'm wondering is whether the number of Merit on the platform is stable. If it is constant, these merits will be much more valuable in the future. Because everything on this platform is on a voluntary basis and the system works quite well.

The more merit you have, the higher your rank, and the higher your rank, the more money you can earn through signatures.

A system that encourages users to produce quality content.

Well the merit thing is Good & Bad (advantages / disadvantages on the forum) at the same time(yep it' bad too in my opinion).

How is that?

- Merit i Good: since it controls the spam posts that members make just to get that rank of their membership without caring about the quality. It controls the selling / buying of BitCointalk memberships since it will be harder & harder for those to rank the memberships they wanna sell.

- Merit i Bad: it's bad because once you know it's all linked to merit in the first place to get that next membership rank, which make it really hard, you kind of loose hope.

Why Getting merit is really hard?
Well it's because the members that have merits are kind of " Stingy "giving it even for good posts with quality.

Besides some other people don't even know that keeping those merits (the portion they don't need) won't benefit their membership rank anymore.
