I have made 800 posts so far being very active on this forum. at the beginning I asked so many questions from senior members of this forum. Actually When I came to this forum My crypto knowledge is zero. now I have a fair knowledge thanks to this forum. I didn't create a bitcointalk account just to participate in bounty campaign. meanwhile Some one informed about them and I just looked gathered information about them and decided to participate them. currently I am following one signature campaign. But once I started signature campaign the new merit system comes to the stage. Now it is very hard to rank up. I have made so many posts. I don't think they are rubbish. but still I got only 1 merit, It will take years to rank up to member from Jr. member for me. So I won't be able to do any Signature campaign which asks for rank status of member. and I don't know when I can rank up to Member with this merit gaining rate. I think other new members who stay at Jr. member rank level facing the same problem. It is very very hard to get merits.
Even though I agree with a lot of the points of Tman, that you have a lot of shitty posts, I also believe that you have decent posts, too, and accordingly, I have decided to give you two merits.
Part of my point here is to demonstrate that there are going to be varying level of standards in terms of members deciding to give merits and on what basis, and in that regard your ability to receive merits is partly subjective, and members are going to view your posts and your intentions in different ways.
My giving you merit is no way intended to controvert Tman's assertions, because I looked at your above attached post, and I thereafter browsed through some of your post history. At that point, I decided to give you two merits before I even saw Tman's post. After I read Tman's post, I considered only giving you 1 merit, but in the end, I decided to stay with my original decision to give you 2 merits - because I had already decided to do so on independent grounds from Tman's valid assertions about the overall apparent low quality of your posts, which leaves a bad impression of your intentions to just throw a bunch of garbage without reading the threads in which you are posting.
If you keep attempting to improve your posts, learning and helping others and interacting with substance, then it is likely that you will receive merits with the passage of time, at least enough to reach member status (which is 10 merits). Surely Full member, Sr member, Hero and Legendary rankings will be more difficult to achieve, but I doubt that it is impossible for you to achieve as long as you attempt to contribute in the forum...
I also get quite annoyed when it seems that some posters are not reading any of the thread prior to posting and then interacting in a way that is not really contributing because they could have easily found out the answer to their question(s) by reading more parts of the thread (of course you should not have to read all 100 pages of a thread but at least if you read a few pages, including OP, and then you read a few of the last several pages, then you will be a bit better informed on the themes of the thread..
And surely finding topics that interest you will be helpful too, but perhaps it would be better to read significant aspects of threads first and maybe post half as many posts (at least in the beginning).. maybe averaging fewer than 8 posts per day rather than your current average of around 15 posts per day... .
I also believe that we are stuck with this merit system, and even if you believe that it is going to be difficult to receive merits, the longer you are on the forum, and the more people get to know you, the easier it is going to be to interact and to receive merits.
