I just came across this thread and i must say its a source of motivation, seeing that the op, being among those that are highly regarded on this forum today, have some point in time wanted to know how the merit system works is one that spells hope to those of us who feel the top is to high and hard to reach Grin

.
I am highly intrigued by this level of achievement in such a short period of time, this is a push to those of us still struggling to climb the ladder, to acquire more knowledge, as it is the source of power and energy required to reach the top.

I accidentally bumped in a user with over 1k posts and almost the same merit.

I do not know why i feel you should have mentioned this user ~ Maybe because a part of me really want to compare you both right now, to see who's achieved more on the forum as of today.

Thats OP ( Over Powered Profile) Time makes you successful thats the Only fact over here 4 years back a new user now to the one of Top Ranked Profile. Thats what we call inspiration 😉. Keep it up to the No 1 Standing with you. Topic trends now Look back from where you are standing and thank your inspiration and get more confident that you did it now nothing can stop you.

Actually @OP in forum context means the original poster or the person who has created the thread not over powered profile so make it correct.

Yes he has effectively managed to rank up on the forum in such a short span of time and if you see he has all the merits earned at current 10158 which is great achievement for him while others like @o_e_l_e_o has got 100 merits airdropped and still they are constantly peddling up the merit cycle.He has been motivation to many members and you can also check this thread for some more help.

I looked at the date on this op and discovered how determined he was on joining here and focused in making constructive posts to rank up. I love his determination and it paid off for him. I wish am like him. But not everybody has the same mental ability, I know. I will keep striving to improve myself.

You can also rank up and the way could be different but the key to it is growing your knowledge for the same and keep learning from different sources you can for help.When you are curious to find answers you will solve many problems and your mental ability will also enhance so be positive about it.

Hello,
I am quite new to this board, so I am trying to provide the best post I could as I find the merit system a good way to raise the signal/noise ratio.

Time is even scarcer than bitcoin, so I want to effectively use my time to learn from user that posted quality stuff using effectively their time!

Thanks,

Of course, not in my wildest dreams did I think that would have ever become possible.
But I distinctly recall posting my first guide (the one which gave me my 100th merit) and relevant thread to surpass the merits of a certain user (not going to disclose the name, not in the top 100 merited users btw): I thought it was insulting having fewer merits than him.
And yes, I have a click for a collection of merits, charts, stats etc. In my previous life, I had quite a successful run on www.trueachievements.com

Hey pal, don’t worry to much about this ratio.
I see you are now approaching a very high number!
This only means you are trying hard to provide the forum with good content!
Keep up the good work!

Lol. I was just reading this thread, thinking that you either sold your account, or this was a troll thread of some sort.

I was about to be like "bro, you have over 10,000 merit" 😂🤣

Interesting statistics, i've just crossed the 2:1, merit:activity. On the way to cross the 2:1 post:merit, which is not that bad taking in consideration that many posts were just lists with users

Receiving 1 in every second post and only 2 posts in WO (i actually have 2 posts there but no merit).
Maybe i should start hunting for merit to improve those stats...

Funnily enough I thought doing lists of users WAS merit hunting! Who’s not giving a merit to a list with your name in?

I get the sense of what you are saying, but bear in mind that “merit hunting” is a very loose concept. What you think is a worth and honest post, can be labelled as merit hunting by other users (happened to me in the past).

Also regarding WO, unpopular opinion: there is a lot of noise, for sure, but a lot of signal can be found there: concealed in memes, lateral humor, inside jokes, often you can find true pearls of wisdom.

Hehe, i was excited to reach the 1000 merit for sure, but i wasn't in hurry because the lack of activity. After i hit that milestone it's not so exciting anymore as you have no ndw goals to chase. To be honest i pushed a bit only to rank up to Full Member, because I wanted to have an avatar, so there were 2-3 merit giveaways i joined. That was it.
Now does not really matters if i have merit or not, same with the signature, im just pleased to be on one of the best campaigns in the forum, its more like reputation.
What i really miss is the fun reporting those homograph cheaters, it brings a lot of pleasure to hunt them, now there are just bumping bots...

Hm, my earned merit is only 561 vs activity 1708, it then puts me in a category of shit posters by your categorization. Although I do not consider myself a top poster, the fact is that I have never received a single merit from some highly ranked and respected forum members.

Let's put it this way: you started collecting activity long before you were able to rack merits! This is why the ratio is skewed.

Although this data belongs in this topic, I'll post it here anyway:

User Lucius (full history)

Received a total of 558 Merit up to last Friday.
Received 3 Merit (0.53%) for 3 (0.14%) of 2113 posts created before the introduction of Merit (0.0014 Merit per old post).
Received 543 Merit (97.31%) for 293 (7.56%) of 3875 posts created after the introduction of Merit (0.1401 Merit per new post).
Received 12 Merit (2.15%) for posts that are now deleted (or off-limit (Staff/VIP Section)).

I figure that anybody with a higher Merit to Activity ratio must be a pretty good poster. Having less Merit than Activity once you’ve been posting regularly & registered for 6 months or more hints towards being a little bit of a shit poster.

Anybody agree?

However, I am comforted by the fact that I am in the top 100 members by number of merit earned (76) which probably means something.

I think you don't need it. Merits will come to your posts themselves because you always created quality and useful posts.
Got 1717 merits with the activity still 854, it is more than enough to describe your post quality and your contribution to the forum.

OMG. Don't say that, buddy. I doubt I'm one of them (shit posters). Cheesy

I've registered in 2017. Total posts 804, my activity 448, and merit 206. Am I a shit poster? At previous, I can say yes, but now I'm trying to be a good one.

No, I don't agree. It doesn't mean that if they have fewer merits, they are posting a shit post. Maybe they are posting good contents and it is not noticed or it is already posted by someone else(already discussed that point in a thread). Not every post in a thread can get merits. Some deserve merits and some do not deserve it.

Also, the users who got more merits, they would have got maximum merits on a single thread. The threads which are too good, would have got more merits. Not every post will get merits.

Uhm... not totally. Although I claimed that merits can be earned easily if you are a decent forum member, and other members (such as nullius) thought the same, I wouldn't go that far, to think that who doesn't have at least 1:1 Merits vs. Activity ratio after 6 month is a shit poster.

Merits can be earned easy, but not that easy. But a ratio of at least 0.5 should be enough, in my oppinion, in order to differentiate a good poster from a shit poster.

Of course, this wouldn't apply to everyone, but to some (most?) of the posters.
