its relly hard to get 1 merit i hope u will change this system thank u sir

Whats wrong with "Money-Makers"? I notice your in a signature campaign and from your history, your here for nothing but signature campaigns.

You are right! Users who have such negative attitude actually don't belong to the forum in any aspect. They should leave the forum forever, find others to join. The forum is a good place for eagerly-to-learn users, not for spammers, fudders, money-makers. They should and have to leave because the merit system launched to control and (if possible) eliminate them out of the forum.
Real users who have right attitude, really want to learn, to contribute to the forum via their high-quality, informative, constructive posts will be ranked up sooner or later. I have no doubt about the fact.
Good luck, my friend.

First of all, you need to get the basics right. 10 merit points are required for member level and not for full member. For full member you need 100 merit points. Even if you get 6 more merit points and reach 10 in total, your rank will not upgrade. This is because you also need the desired activity for each rank which is 60 for member level. You are short of it by 4 posts.

Do not hurry, if you prove your worth here over time, you will keep getting rewarded with merits.

actually i disagree with the merit system now. because a newbie like me would be very difficult to get the merit. but at least I will try to improve the quality of my posts.

so with this merit system every users will improve the quality of their posts. hopefully this forum is free from posting not qualified

It is hard to receive enough Merit. I have joined Bitcointalk for a long time & be active everyday... but I am still just a Junior Member. I cannot even get 10 Merit to upgrade my level to Full member.
So sad.

So much grateful for it. Thanks for being fair to all the members here who worked hard on making sure they rank up accordingly. Also, the Merit and new rank requirement is a good avenue for the whole forum community to have a better and healthy exchanging of ideas and not just sharing a blabber all around. This will surely empower the members to produce quality posts over time. This will also for sure encourage highly educated people to join the forum since they don't just see low-quality posts.


Merit for rank up 😘

Sending half of the merits right away.

Surely your post is a "must read"  because it has been bolded.    

I personally think by merit points it is extremely hard especially for new members to increase their rank and they might lose interest in forum seeing this
I might be wrong personally i like the idea behind this but let's see how it goes.

Might be your internet, it loaded immediately for me. I'd agree it is too big, ideally, I prefer infographics that fit on one page. Hasn't the whole Merit Infographic thing already been done to death?

Is it just me?  Or doesn't that page load too slow and the image is TOO BIG.  I did not even read it because it was loading too slow, and just seeming cumbersome.  If you make the image smaller, sncc, that might help it to load faster and to be more manageable so then others will read the substance? 

Yes.  I appreciate that each of you recognize that I was attempting to help posters to be able to help themselves into earning more merits.  Merits will not come from predicting the BTC price, for example, or providing one liner quantity (shit) posts.

Largely, members need to attempt to engage with those who are going to read their posts and show some kind of personal insight and contribute something that causes others to think, relate or laugh.  

Members may receive some substantive merits or alternatively some charitable merits, from time to time, and I don't even mind giving a charitable merit here or there or even sending a charitable merit to sitnikov (even though it could have been better explained with a reference link) for identifying the right context for why it appears that even with the passage of time, RivAngE continues to fail / refuse to learn how to post with better substance, even though RivAngE recognized that his/her first received merit from me was received as form of charity.

Correct me if I am wrong, sitnikov, I believe that this is the contextual post that showed that my earlier merit to RivAngE was intended as a kind of inspirational charity, but perhaps subsequent evidence of RivAngE's own admission and complaining about the merit system shows that s/he is failing/refusing to learn how to post in a more engaging and constructive way?

Theymos, can you add another infographic which I created a while ago to the above list?  I tried to make a more graphical and intuitive inforgraphic to help people understand the system easily.

Explain how someone reviewing posts will know if a "alt" commented or added to the summary?

Because they don't know how to read. they need you to teach them English. I have a suggestion for them on how to increase merits. everybody must post with one account. and if you want merits, ask a source to review your posts, if a source is reviewing posts, he would know if you are posting with more than one account or not.

My ignore list is getting so big. Why don't these idle beggars learn to read?

It will of course help you if you are ready to implement the suggestion. You seem to be ignoring it completely even after you have mentioned that you agree to it.

Now some members may find advice rude and judge the person giving it arrogant. But the fact that same advice is being given  multiple members is an evidence of this being necessary, valid and working. When a senior member is giving you some suggestion, it is based on his experience with the forum and we should appreciate it.

The irony.
