Topic: My journey in 2019 - 2020 (Nothing is impossible) - page 2. (Read 940 times)

nothing is impossible in this world as long as you do it sincerely and work hard, your experience is very interesting

I have not yet received Merit because I realize that I lack focus and the quality of the posts I made is still low, in the future I will improve the quality of my posts again, hopefully I can increase my Rank to SR Member

congratulations friend, you have successfully reached your target.
You motivated me to start building an account. I'm new here and need a lot of guidance from you all
making a good post seems not difficult, here we as forum users must help the difficulties of fellow members.

It is indeed that the implementation of merit is very useful for starters who push their limit in order to become a valuable member in this community. We admit that developing this kind of posting behavior is tough especially when a user is not dedicated in helping himself/herself to grow.

Adding from the list of factors you have mentioned, I think this kind of daily habits of reading and listening to podcast and reading technical books which I myself do will help your learning curve to expand exponentially as this is the common denominator of old and high ranking members in the community.

Keep aiming high and help people as much as you can. You are doing great. 

Congratulations, you have the right to be happy now because you have succeeded in achieving full member ranking. If you can maintain and improve your quality and abilities, the ranking of senior members will soon be achieved.

I dont think that complaints can help us get promoted, without effort and concrete evidence we will never achieve them. I have seen that you have been quite active in posting great things lately, there have been many sacrifices you have made and maybe you have reduced your daily rest time to write as well as possible.

I feel the same way as you, spending more time when I want to post because almost all posts are made as an effort not to be categorized as spam, junk and low quality. Your journey is still quite long, I hope you do not stop here and continue to try to provide the best for the forum and community.

You did it. Congrats!

I was once asked this question when I ranked up to Full member and I think it's good to pass it on to you

Thank you, sir. Now, I am ready to struggle for the next level. 

Yes. It is true, I have proven it. People will give us merit if our posts deserve for it. We just need to make a reason for the merit. Quality, valuable, or useful is some criteria that we must have on our posts in order to earn merits. Then, make creating good posts to be our habit, so that we have more chances earning merits.

It is the duty of all forum members. Yep, I will try to more often use that feature. I also have the responsibility to keep our forum clean.

It's fantastic having to see members with regards to their journey, and you didn't let merit stand in your way. There are just some people who don't want to give the needed effort to make posts that matter. Once you get to that habit of posting quality posts, you would surely receive merit for it. With everything you listed, I think it's already safe to say that you are on your way if you follow these tips. I hope the report button be used more often by members so we could keep the forum clean.

On to your next rank up, OP. Congratulations.

Thank you so much, sir. I am really lucky having someone like you that supports and appreciates my efforts. I promise to keep my best efforts and dedicate my time to help others and the forum. Once again, thank you so much sir..  

*I still can't believe that now I'm already a Full member. Thank you to all the people that already supported me.  

I hope so. One of my goals to create this thread is to motivate newbies and Jr ranks. So, they will realize that it is not impossible to earn merits and reach the next level if they do serious efforts.

I agree with your opinion, sir. Newbies who want to try having a positive contribution such as creating good posts, deserve to get appreciation. Yep, they are the next generation to support the existence of the forum.

Definitely, sir. I will keep my best efforts to reach the next level. 

Congratulations ! You are full member now, just sent you more 8 merit. It's not consider for post quality, I sent it for achieve you rank to Full Member. It's just my little try to encourage you make good post and help other people over forum.

I believe more newbies will start contribute when they will see your thread. And I am always friendly with newbies those want to contribute themselves. Those users are newbie today they are the future for forum. Perhaps once upon a time we will not here, today's newbies will keep their role for forum. So keep it up buddy, hope you will be Sr. Member very soon.

Thank you for this information. To be honest, I just know about it. You are right, sometimes I am looking for good posters to distribute sMerit. And it will better if they are newbies or Junior ranks. But I don't exclude higher ranks for the merit. If a higher rank deserves it, why don't to give it. 

Cool. One tool has double functions, it seems interesting. Of course, if I see a spam post, I will directly use the "Report to moderator" feature.

If you want to find good posters from newbie, you can used patrol features https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol sometimes you will find a good post from there. Using patrol will allow you to find spam post too and feel free to reports any spam that you find. 1 reports from you will make this forum clean from unwanted post.

Good luck

Updated!

Edit in the OP: Now, I have 58 90 Merits and still need 42 10 Merits to be Full rank.

Okay, understood. I will find the good posters or who deserve it without a merit giveaway. Thank you for reminding me.  

Of course, my intention is surely to find out good posts of JR or Newbie that deserve. Will be glad if I can contribute to help a good JR or Newbie.

NO, don't do that, it's too early. When you will read all the boards then automatically you should find good posters. Why is it necessary to open merit giveaway thread? Yea, I know some people opening merit giveaway threads, there is some special reason. Likely they have enough merits but didn't have time to distribute that and of course there is some bad intentions for some users as well. Some users thought merit giveaway means quick merit earning method. I know your intention isn't not bad but there is so many things you have to learn.

Try to find good post by yourself, not by merit giveaway thread. Even I am a merit source but I don't like to open merit giveaway thread. Because I am around all boards, so I can find them easily. Now my source merit is empty even there is almost a week remaining to refill. So you have only small smerit, just spend it yourself to some newbies who at least creating good post. Hope you got my point.

Indeed. I agree that it is not a big problem as long as the post/reply is understandable. Having good grammar and punctuation is just an extra point for a poster.

Thank you, sir. Your support is greatly appreciated. 

With my pleasure, buddy. I'm so glad if people can be motivated or inspired by my post. I always happy if I can contribute to help others.

Yeah, some people still debate about the difficulty in getting merits. However, it doesn't solve the problems. Even merit sources or sMerit holders probably bored with that complaint. So, it is better to stop it and try harder. 

Definitely. I will do my best and never stop to do efforts.

Only a few people can have higher merits than activity. Those are truly special members, including you sir. A lack of activity means your account age is still young, while your merit achievement shows that you have extensive knowledge. Incredible!!

Yes, it is totally the wrong way. The focus must be on improving post quality, make it valuable (useful+informative). Merits will come when people think it is meritable, they shouldn't worry.

I hope so. I will do my best to reach Full member this month. The next target is surely Sr - Legend. Even though it is hard, I will try with best efforts.     

Certainly. I have a plan to make a merit giveaway for JR & Newbie only. I'm still trying to collect an adequate amount. I will make it once I have collected more than 20.

I always tried to highlights "today's newbie is future Legendary. When I have joined on this forum that times merit system was already implemented. So I become current position by earning all merits. My merits was always greater than my activity. Even still now I have earned merit for Legendary but just lack of activity. If you do good then you will return good as well. So it's true nothing is impossible although its quite complicated for newbies but always keep your confidence that its possible.

What I believe, some people become disappointed after made some post when they do not received merits. That thoughts is totally wrong, you should not give up. Who know when merits will come? Posting intention should not for merits, post should be useful and informative. If community think that you deserve merit then they will do. I always try to spread that word, "share your best knowledge and experience with community" no matter what is subject. Even there is off-topic board, so feel free to share your thoughts if your thought something likely off-topic.

Keep it up op, hope very soon you will be Full member and if you continue your contribution it will not very hard to achieve Legendary rank. Best wishes for you & please always try to help newbies with your smerits.

Great testimony Rengga Jati, thank you for sharing.
Many new users often complain how difficult is to get merits and feel they deserve merits for their posts and feel angry because others don't think so.
You chose the right way, improved your post quality and wrote posts which can help others or post which contribute to the forum.
It's right way, please continue that way and other members will reward your effort and contribution.

Well deserved rise in as much as you did not register here last year but had a turn around from the looks of thing's last year shows how energy and enthusiasm can revive anyone.

I just want to point this out. The replies/posts doesn't really need to be grammatically and punctually correct at all. A lot of people here on Bitcointalk understands that people here are from very diverse countries hence having different levels of fluencies of the English language, hence having not-perfect grammar and punctuation is no problem at all. All that's important is that the reply/post is understandable enough.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck to your journey to Full member!

Thank you, buddy. You are also great, it seems to reach Hero rank soon this year. Good luck for us!

Yes, it's true. They will. Just focus on improving contribution and our dedication, they must appreciate who take serious efforts.

Indeed. As long as what you wrote is understandable and readable, don't worry to continue posting. But if you can write with a correct grammatical function and use proper punctuation, then it surely will better.

Thank you so much, buddy. Your support is absolutely very needed. I am very grateful for your appreciation.
