Topic: [Merits] Hodling merit is not the right way. (Read 358 times)

I remember when I get my first merit. I've tried every sector of merit giveaways but didn't get a single merit by asking. But instead of looking a shortcut I started to explore BitcoinTalk Forum and everydays I just get learn new things. Whatever I learn I just spread them to newbies and share my thoughts.
.

It was my first post where I get 1 merit. It realizes me that if I just run into merits I won't get anything. Just try to learn and share your knowledge. If you are realy a worthy to get a merit. You will definitely get them .

Inspire people to learn not just throw them into some shortcuts

I hope you get it my friend

Lolz it look like I have to make merit posts only if this is the way I had done many better posts no one is going to merit them.
One more thing you can see all legendary or higher members are most active.
In this same way BTCitcoin get underestimated no one believe you first then they internally say oh you're right.

Successful bait is successful

Just made a valuable post and don't expect merit a lot, I'm pretty sure the merit source knows what they are doing and they will give merits to posts they think are deserving. If you think more of making  good posts than earning merit, that would reward you someday with merits as eventually, they'll see your posts if they haven't seen it now.

I've seen a lot of members here starting from newbie to Legendary, so earning merits and ranking up is possible, so just enjoy staying in the forum, don't pressure yourself a lot of not getting any merit as it's not a must.

I Know he is following me and threatening me in same way so I start ignoring if he leave himself instead its increasing more and more so I use his own words here if he understand.  

You have been a member of the forum since 2016 and you have not read the forum rules yet?


Besides, this thread is not something new and original, if you had tried a little harder, you might have found better ways to report good posts to merit sources. Also, there are no rules anywhere on what should someone do with their sMerits, but they certainly should not be sent to random profiles just because you think so.

[self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
[Merit] Help newbies and those who have a little left to the next rank

Plot twist: it just means that the person is posting nothing worth giving merit to.

Seriously lmao. The "high ranks not giving merits to low ranks" has been proven wrong like a hundred times already with a good number of new people with lots of earned merits early on. It's the shitposters that need awareness, not the merit holders.

I will give it all away dont worry about it. If I start picking up account you got 1 merit 2 merit is it a good way to you, in this way you step up.
here is no comparison or competition of any kind no one is forcing you here its completely your decision how to spend your merits.  

So that's what this is...a merit thread started by OP with only 2 smerits. This is refreshing.

I believe most do, and have been doing so for years on this forum. Not to dwell on the arguments been often used, but earning some merits is not that hard at all. Earning many merits is harder, but in either case it comes down to putting time and effort, and not garling the first thing that comes to mind. Quite a few have understood that and shifted gears in a more "meritable" forum presence, whilst others have yet to discover the basic said ingredients.

Note: People often tend to think that all decent posts should get merited, and they don't, nor do they strictly need to. They simply opt to.

it's even better, he criticizes here how users are holding merit, and now he has 2 spendable, but he hasn't given any yet.


isn't it better to have more activities here, the chances are higher that you will attract users with more available merits?

Its better If we remain on OP or in discussion we can go any long with no solution.

main reason to create this op is to giving a way to spread merits instead of going on searching for it.

But certain members want to hodl it and grow.

Kindly Share links of your profiles only -

My request to all members dont discuss anything here main objective of this post is to spread merits to eligible accounts do it if you can or ignore it.

You're going about it wrong. You've been around for long yet can't quote properly. If one is to judge by the date you registered on bitcointalk, you can't be called a newbie. But still you post like one. IMO you don't give sufficient time to learning

If you check most of my merit, they are people not from my country (you can do the research), they are people I do not know before and never seen 99% of them physically before. As lovesmayfamilis implied already, change your mindset. Study this forum, post in a way to get merits. It is not about how numerous your posts are, it is about how quality and coherent your posts are.

You see a member of 2000 activity but no single merit, check the account very well, he/she is definitely a bounty hunter with no quality post to get merit. It can be otherwise for good posters where you will see low activity but numerous merits.

Merit source are active, if few are not active, but most are active. If there is low merit sent to users, theymos will approve more merit sources. But this is not the matter now, the matter is for you to change your mindset and have quality posts.

Merits aren't meant to be handed to someone because they need to rank up. Check the merit threads, some have task or quiz you have to complete to earn the merit. others go through your post history to find a post that's good enough to merit. Merit is hard when you make posts like this . I'm surprised the post had so many replies. I ignore those kind of discussion because they are not helping anyone.

My 90 activity is in previous 1-2 weeks, you can see I am too much active now a days as I dont like to do all this stuff, to keep account active i start sharing posts
Its a request not a command.

After going through threads in previous weeks I found mostly legendary or senior members are only replying everywhere which made me think that members are getting demotivated coz they are increasing activities with no merits how will they post I found certain accounts with 2000 activity with no merits.

Merit sources are inactive or they are supporting mostly there known coz how can it be possible with 2k activity and not a single merit?

We need more awareness as forum is old we can't ignore its issues we together have to work on it.

This Guy crop something from 100 post's and spreading crap with misleading information.
he dont know where he is posting what OP is about if you want to discuss about anything else create a new post?
You will get a permanent ban for spreading wrong information and targeting people this will not be tolerated.

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Have been here for few years now actually am also a low rank member but I believe if you make a quality post on the forum and if the post is of use to anybody the person will definitely reward you with merit.

Since I promised to take a closer look at the OP's profile, after reading all his posts, we can conclude that he has a completely wrong mindset.
You just take a look at this:

 
He is absolutely sure that he is on the right path. Something sincerely advising him is useless, the OP is too stubborn to accept the way the community lives.
What about his behavior? Someone learns from the mistakes and experiences of other people, the OP will have its own beaten path, with learning from their own mistakes.
And until he masters these mistakes, the lessons will be repeated regularly.

The only way to earn merits is to create useful posts. However, each user may understand usefulness differently.

I'd never add this as an argument of why I don't merit newbies, despite the fact that I do merit those. Even if you'd earnt them in a hard way, the merit count won't be reduced from your account. The only meter that gets reduced is your sMerit count which is useless by itself.

The purpose of the merit system is to merit.

They aren't valuable. They are units that must be circulated among the forum. Again, you keep merits, you give away sMerits.

There's no reason to say all that. Just say that if you merit newbies, you encourage them to continue making quality content.

The merit system don't work this way as you could have more and more merits by making good posts here and it's on you whether you send merit or not but who said if you send more you will gain more? But it's opposite you can send more if you gain more.That is pretty simple.

The newbies and all members need to make their personal efforts to rank up on the forum and contribute on their part and rest they will gain merits if they make up some worthy posts from high rank members.


This is not merit giveaway thread as we have some more as indicated by @CharlesTim so why will members share their profile here? Members who have smerits can open up a thread to help the newbies and low rank members in the way they like but you don't have any so what's the benefit of sharing profiles here?

The merit sources and all other members are doing the good work and giving away merits to members making effective contribution on the forum and you can have a look at the same here:

[TOP-200] The most generous users giving merits

You have also gained 3 merits but you have not given to anyone on the forum contrary to what you have mentioned in title of the thread so what are you going to explain to all other members here.You are making this thread with the hope of earning merit but this won't help you mate so start making good posts which will help you more.

I start to smile a lot when I see another OP topic. After all, he argued and taught how to behave correctly on the forum, being an older member.



And what do we see in the end? Our most famous person is engaged in begging while applying his strange philosophy everywhere.
OP, if it comforts you, I will give you merit. But do not flatter yourself that you "shared" or "donated"  me your knowledge and experience.

Honestly, you make me laugh with my morning coffee.

Simply because the OP was hoping to earn merit with this post, and so far he has already earned one.

I'm sick of seeing it: newbies or junior members like him who has 100 activity and so far only 2 earned merits, creating a thread about the merit system because somehow they know that creating a post about merits is likely to end up getting them some.

Did you know some threads are dedicated to merit given, but to posts that are worthy of merit.

[Merit] Help newbies and those who have a little left to the next rank

Sorry about this, since 2016, only 2 merits received before this thread. Are you commanding the merit source? Do not create a thread of what you are not capable of, if you are not capable of sending merit to newbies, then why creating this thread when there are some already existing.

Everyone certainly think that each of their posts is useful, but from the point of view of others (with higher knowledge) think it's nothing special. There are also people who have a great sense of humor, who assume constructive posts are posts that are entertaining rather than helpful. That's why, giving merit is subjective and seems unfair to some people. At this point you have to stop assuming that merit is the only benchmark that a member have contributed, you don't mean you're useless because you haven't got it.

To be honest, I kind of shy away from getting into the discussion about merit that has been tedious and boring to think about. This time I'm breaking again, to tell you not to lower your contribution just because you didn't get it. What the forum needs is your contribution, not your achievements.

This is a good idea mate so that our newbies to members, got a chance to Rank up faster cause nowadays it's hard to get merits.
But we must think that sMerits are given by those members who contributed well in the community and quality poster in forum.
[NOT ALL] but Some newbies here did not do anything good in the forum all they do is copy some text to the internet and paste it here without citing the source.

It's really not anyone's job to "motivate" new members. Like, we're not their mom. If merits are the sole reason for them to cooperate here on Bitcointalk, then they're likely bound to fail in the first place.

Not to mention that it really isn't hard to get merits in the first place. You just need to make decent(not necessarily super good) posts.

I think merit sources know this don't worry mate cause they are specifically giving merits constantly to users that deserved it. Merits shouldn't keep and hoard. Giving merits is also part of the ecosystem here in forum for quality posters and helpful guys. Newbies thinking how hard it is normal but they should go outside the box to fulfill their activity here and be given merits too. Thumbs up for bringing it a good statement.

 Anyway no need to share your link below. Giving you merit for your good assessment.

As we know only way to have more merits is to give it away.

To motivate new members we have to concentrate more on newbies to member's.

Their maybe certain questions you come up with.

1) Why? I earned it in hard way.
In respect of it, to get more better first you have to leave current situation ( Right way is to support where reqired to achieve satisfaction )

2) Merits are valuable, I can't give it away to unknown?
First you should know, you are getting in return things you can't see or think, you will never get it while dealing with known. People giveaway their whole wealth in search of it and you're getting it through merits I don't think this is not a smart deal?

From Newbie's to Member's those who are seeking merits can share their Profile's here.

Our request is to all Merit Sources and all respected Members, Kindly share your merits and support each other.

Kind Regard's
