Hi bro.Let me share feelings with you.
Im in same state at the moment and I'm pretty sure Merit wont solve the problem they are trying to solve.

They're trying to slow down the speed of ranking and the merit system is going pretty well with it.
this system is also negative for me but I believe that after merit system posts are going to catch quality than now.
It's obvious you're against merit. Just look on the text you typed, that's not the thing people would reply you with merit.

I would have to agree with pugman. The main reason why this forum is built is for all the members to express ideas and informations or help one another out when it comes to the aspects of Bitcoin and even other cryptocurrencies. This forum is not a platform solely made for earning money through signature campaigns. If you have genuine intentions towards this forum, the merit system would not bother you. It should inspire you to do better or just keep doing what you do if you believe that you have been constructively contributing to this forum. I understand that most people also felt the same way, but it's time to move on and work hard so that sooner or later you will get the merits that you'll need.
Yup i can understand your point brother and thank you for your honest opinion, i have genuine intentions toward this forum also i joined bounties to help me financially to cope up in what i need in school, because this year is my thesis year so i prolly need budget tho. But still im going to push myself further so that i can improve and polish my posts so that it can contribute well in this forum.
Thank you for handling each of the feedbacks here positively. I understand that you were caught off guard before, that's why you reacted that way towards the new system. I can see now how you changed your perspective in handling the situation and I do understand where you're coming from as well. Aside from learning about cryptocurrency, the reason why I joined this forum is to earn some Bitcoins so I can fund my thesis as well. Through what I earned from signature campaigns, I get to spend for my research without touching my savings which is truly a big help. Now that my research is nearing its end, I will still stay here in the forum for the sake of learning and sharing informations or opinions, the pay I will get is a bonus to the knowledge I will gain. Wishing you all the best for your thesis. Good luck, bro!

Rank has nothing to do with this fucking forum. If you're really here to talk about bitcoin, then rank should be of your least concern. Campaigns won't exist forever, what will you do after that?
Though you're saying you have "moved on" after the merit system has clashed your dreams and fantasies to a sad reality, it really doesn't look like you have moved on..

For most of the people here, they are very sad, because the upgrade is very difficult!
It's also hard to get Merit!
It's also hard to get Merit!
Well, the idea is very good. I'm just a bit afraid that it's very difficult to get some merit for newbies, as people tend to give more merits to hero members - as some of the people perhaps do not read posts/topics from newbies .. I've just created a new topic few hours ago with quite an interesting post (I hope), but only 10 people read it, nobody answered..
You are still lucky because you're in a higher rank now compare to us who just came here late.
Its ok, don't focus much on making higher profit because as long as you earn it is still profit no matter what.
Now merit system gives this forum a quality users which can help many projects to promote.
Just enjoy this forum, and merit will come to you for sure.
at the end it's the matter of time when we can actually enjoy the merit systems, good luck for you tho Its ok, don't focus much on making higher profit because as long as you earn it is still profit no matter what.

People who do not seek a rank, usually merit will come without being expect since their post mostly genuine and not being force by any campaign.
But if you're try to seek a higher rank it means that you're try to achieve something , usually higher payrate or account sales , IMO it will be difficult to get merit.
Hard to get Merit ?
It's difficult : YES
It's impossible : NO

That is true sir, although to be honest i'm seeking a higher rank to achieve a higher payrate, yes i know it is hard to get merit but it is not impossible also, so i'll just continue to post like normal days and learn some more to broaden my knowledge here.
We just need to adjust our level of posting here, now there's no easy way to earn higher rank. Your hard work will be paid off in the future and don't rush thing, this is just a new system and I know people will finally use their smerit. Everything is possible in the right time, let's just keep on learning here in the forum and just enjoy this new process.
well i know that feel, since one of my friend had the situations almost same like you ( he only need to wait another weeks more to become Sr. Member)
After all we all know this merit systems just like a "like" on facebook, an "upvote/karma" on reddit.
The different is merit has limit , AND THIS IS THE PROBLEMS here why it's hard to get merit
To me it looks like the ones that already has a high rank likes merit because they got a great number of free merit and also don't need to rank up.
While us new members don't have any merit and hardly gets any even if we post great quality posts.
To conclude:
- High ranked members like merit
- Low ranked members do not
i really do agree with this , man when i saw my friend reactions after the merit systems come , it's really priceless lol.While us new members don't have any merit and hardly gets any even if we post great quality posts.

When Merit system was introduced, I only had to get 19 activity to get chance to become Legendary member. Now I also will need to get almost 500 Merit points. I'm disappointed? No. Hero or Legendary member, it's not really big difference for me.
I know sir your not because your rank is just enough here when we talk of profit.
How about us? But that's okay as what i have said let's move on.
But you shouldn't forget that many people came here not to earn money. They just discuss, follow news, educate themselves or helping to newbies. For these people Merit system and Ranks aren't that important, I think.
I'm in the same boat so I feel your pain, but I also understand the need for a change. The merit system is obviously flawed but that doesn't mean it is broken. It all depends on how the community ends up adopting it. Don't worry too much about it and you will rank up eventually.
As far as earnings for ad campaigns, it is true that higher ranks can get paid well. However it takes time to write quality posts and meet requirements. To write a quality post, you also have to read the thread in which you are posting. All of this takes time! Maybe some poeple have better skills than me, but from my numbers, the time it takes to qualify for the ad campaign is always less than minimum wage. So in other words it is a fun way to make a bit of extra cash, but I would be far better off getting any sort of job, slinging burgers, whatever. Maybe it is different for the highest level accounts, I don't know because I never looked at those numbers.
@parodium, I disagree with a minimum monthly activity or face demotion. This would force us to post and seek merit (=shitposting) and thus totally defeat the whole purpose. If I don't have anything constructive to say, then I should not post. A minimum will make me post whether or not I have anything good to say.

Did you really hope to be more lucky than others? LoL Most of us will now raise in rank much slower than before, but this is the price to pay to keep this forum a place where it still makes sense to go. The demographic explosion of accounts and shitposting would have killed this forum in another year or less. The new rules will not stop shitposting, but at least they will not reward it - and this is a sensible progress in the ecology of this forum.

Dont be negative bro, merit system for me is effective way to solve things regarding shitposting and spamming since they cant get any merit from those post and eventually they will be fed up and stuck with their current rank.
To me it looks like the ones that already has a high rank likes merit because they got a great number of free merit and also don't need to rank up.

Well not all low ranked members dont like this new system, because with this we can read more constructive post in different threads and gain some knowledge about it.

Im here to talk about bitcoin at the same time joining a campaign so to become more productive like two birds and one stone right? im not saying that i already moved on, if i were already moved on i'll not post this topic.Though you're saying you have "moved on" after the merit system has clashed your dreams and fantasies to a sad reality, it really doesn't look like you have moved on..
PS: Anyway stated at my post 'sharing my inner feelings.'

Well as you can see my activity is now 252 which is equivalent to Sr. Member. Since early january i'm excited to become sr member because high rank = high pay in bounty as we all know. But due to merit system is being implemented i dont know when will i be able to reach sr member, but im not against the merit system because i can see the potential of it in the future, to reduce account farmers and shitposters in our beloved forum. I just feel sad because my expectation to become sr member wont happen sooner. Just want to share my inner feelings. lol

I fell you dude now i supposed to be a full member now but i keep in silent because we have nothing to do just obey the rule that they given to us, besides it gives a good reflections to our beloved forum. I understand those members here in forum starting with Member to Sr. memberthat the hardest part to have rank up, lucky for those member here that having a high rank like Hero to Legendary.
Let's move on and accept the reality on merit system were just like a small puppy barking on a Lion. LOL
When Merit system was introduced, I only had to get 19 activity to get chance to become Legendary member. Now I also will need to get almost 500 Merit points. I'm disappointed? No. Hero or Legendary member, it's not really big difference for me.

Honestly, I believe that all full members and above should be demoted a rank if they do not maintain at least 10/20 merit per month for the first three months of the new system (barring those who were totally inactive). As it appears that people who just missed the implementation of merit have an unfair advantage over those who were pending a rank up after the new system was in place. Perhaps the monthly merit requirement could be tiered, e.g. full member (5), sr member (10) and hero member (20).
By having a minimum monthly merit requirement, this would demote those who don't deserve their current rank under the new rules. I also think the list of excluded users should be longer (possibly green trusted hero/legendaries?) but this is just a quite thought of the top of my head.
