Topic: [Nearly Reached] From Newbie To Senior Member & Now OTW to Hero Member-Self Made - page 4. (Read 1878 times)

Although I know that meta is the highest distributed merit venue at the moment, the local board is the most important part for anyone who is not brave enough to give an opinion because that requires writing English. When a lot of writings and responses can not be understood by others, then most likely it will be a disaster for him. Therefore, the local board is recommended for those who do not good speak English enough.

I think almost all local parts now have a merit source, except local boards that are not active. So there is no reason for anyone not to get merit when they post well, are constructive and helpful.

I agree that those boards are good places to gain merits, especially local board. Most people will be easier to deliver opinions or ideas with their local languages. You also must have merit sources there, they will help every good poster like you. As far as I know, merit sources will distribute most of their sMerit on their board. Furthermore, some members usually prefer to focus on supporting* their local members than others. So, it is a true chance to gain potential merits there.

*give merits

In my opinion, now you have a good understanding of how this merit system works. You have received quite a number of meritfrom various sources in subsections.
There are three subsections that currently dominate your recived  merit:

• Beginners & Help your recived merit 75
• Local board Filiphina your recived merit 37
• Meta your recived merit 29

If you want to know the details, please visit the site made by DdmrDdmr:
Merit dashboard, Personal Summary by typing in your username to the right of the table.

If you can increase your contribution to these three subsections, then I am sure you will reach the next rank faster. You just have to try harder, and never give up. When you stop, it will make you increasingly left behind.

It's almost the same as my journey in here. I registered earlier than you, I registered on january 21, 2018 and joining bounty campaigns that I don't know much. Unlike you, you did a good job and you deserve what you achieved. Well, i'm still on my journey to senior member rank.

Nice and meaningful words. Thank you, bro. The point is, when there is a will then rest assured there will be an open path.

I didnt know I had inspired you so far to be rank-up. Thank you for letting me know, and now you are much better than me.
Because of your contribution and dedication to local board and global, you have become a  hero member and I have fallen far short of you now.

That is the dumbest mistake I have ever made, stopping wont give us anything. Fortunately, I wasnt stuck in this situation for too long so I had to improve my writing skills and get what I achieved.

Your story is not much different from what I experienced, a great experience to remember. You can write your story at any time, bro.

When we want to change for the good, then I think there will be support from others for us whether we realize it or not, but that is the reality. Hopefully we can maintain this contribution and continue to be dedicated to the forum and everyone.

Congratulations, bro. You've already reached Senior rank. Now, you can edit some words on your thread above.   

Anyway, It's so cool, bro. Not all members can change their mindset and find out the right way as you. Most of them gave up and quitted after following some bounties and got nothing. To be honest, I was ever in that situation. Even I ever think to quit because I assume no chance to rank up with new strict rules. Luckily, someone motivated me and showed me the right way. Then, I improved many things, changed my habit, and committed to dedicate my time to BTT forum.

Well, I hope someday I can also write my story as yours. I am still struggling to reach the next rank. I know that I am nothing without supports from everyone, especially dbshck, Indonesian DT, and all Indonesian members. Thanks, everyone!!

Everyone has the same chance to improve their ranks. Just give your positive contribution and dedication to Forum, and they will appreciate you.

>Contribution: make quality posts, help others, motivate/inspire others, report scammers/spammers, etc
>Dedication: care and loyal to the forum, obey the regulation, follow forum's events, etc

  Cheers up!!

Congratulations mate,

You are one of the reasons for me to rank up. When you have become a full member, I'm just a member rank, and I remember what I think in that day,
 "(Bitcoin4x is new member (and some other member), can be a Full Member, of course I can like them)". Keep your good work and I hope you can motivate other members especially for Indonesian member.

Beforehand I congratulate you for the rankings that you get today Sr. Member.

I've seen a number of topics that you created with ideas that are quite professional and useful to us here, continue to do the best for everyone, you are quite worthy of what you get now.

Nothing can't, while we have the will and conviction to do something good for others.

Everyone is born from a baby so they are adults, need learning and guidance to grow to be useful for themselves and others, everyone can do as done by @ BITCOIN4X today with the reasons for learning, belief, willingness, and doing that we can.

I remember someone's words.
Humans are created equal, lust, reason, and body shape, Eat the same, drink the same, other people can do something good, why not, we can also do it like that person.

You are very good as a senior member of the forum We the little ones can get inspiration and rank up to adults like you. But I think BITCOIN4X is much better for you and will help you to win the battle There are also many in this forum who are very easy to reach out to.

When you want to improve your quality, then start from now or never.

Right, I started from a small rank and I really fell when I realized that I had returned to newbi when the new rules were applied by theymos "1 merit for rank-up to junior member". Sad, but it will be a sweet memory now because I have passed that time now.

Because of support, motivation, and desire to change, I am now a senior member. When someone realizes how this merit system works, there will be no burden for him to move up to the next rank.

There are no high quality posts that are missed by merit sources, they even ask people to report these posts to be able to distribute merit. Thank you for liking my story, hopefully can help others and be motivated to do better.

A fairly large percentage. I will start to get used to posting regularly on meta well.

Thank you buddy. I will try to continue to improve day by day.

Instead of setteling for time consuming scammy Bounty and aimed for higher goals of upgrading your account in this forum


Hoping that your story will change thoughs like below threads:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-reality-of-merit-5208663

congratulations for those of you who have risen rank to Sr., Member. keep on working and be an important part of this forum, don't ever despair because if you are truly passionate about sharing useful information in this forum I'm sure you will be promoted more quickly to the Hero.

but at least you must fulfill the Activity, 480 activities will be reached at the end of March. I have calculated it for you. cheer

It depends upon which local boards. There are some big local boards, such as Russian, Turkish, Bahasa Indonesian, German.
Those boards account for 10% (Russian), 4.1% (Turkish), 3.6% (Bahasa Indonesian), 3.3% (German) of total merits distributed in the forum.

In most of local boards, your statement is right. Their percent fluctuate around 0 to 1 %.

Above all, the Meta board accounts for 14.5% of total merits in the forum.

See more details on Merit distributions over boards (24/1/2018 - 19/12/2019)

The most thing I liked about your story is that you started with a small rank, and then you did not achieve many Merits, but rather you returned to a newbie after you almost became Member account .
Many members earn a lot of Merits in the first days of account creation, and after that, the gain decreases a lot.

The second thing is the possibility of rank up even if you only post on the local boards.

I have checked your merit history, it speaks of your active work on this forum, this is really great. You have helped a lot of users (including me) on the forum. Thank you for your writing, it made me better understand the effective ways to receive merit.

Finally, I have seen the fact that everything is still possible to obtain. Now I have become a senior member less than 2 years since registering and thank you all for supporting me, have fun, buddy. It was quite fun when I reached it at the end of 2019. This is the best gift for me before the new year arrives.
Lets see if I will also reach the rank of hero member in 2020.

You are now officially a Senior Member. Congrats! You are another proof that forum users can improve and rank up over time if they decide to do so and not complain about the merit system. Continue contributing in your local board and in the main threads.

Hello BITCOIN4X, I have seen you grow very well so far. Quite often see you on the local board with your good posts so I am also motivated to do good things for the good of myself and also this forum.

Getting out of your old habits and starting something new is your big achievement that deserves appreciation from anyone, including me.

You just need to be patient and keep trying to develop yourself and also your knowledge in the forum. I congratulate you on your achievements and success to reach the next rank. Senior members are in front of your eyes now, just need a little more merit and it will be yours, happy for you and what defense you have achieved so far.

You did awesome efforts, buddy. Even if my account is older than yours, but you can step on a higher level than me. Of course, it is because of your dedication, strong belief, serious efforts, and constant attempts.

I would like to agree with your statement above about something that we must realize :

Unfortunately, I'm just aware of it. But I think it is not too late for me. I believe that I also can reach what you and others can achieve.
Thanks for the inspiring history above. Good luck to us. 

When I joined bitcointalk.org on March 3, 2018, there wasnt much I knew except joining the bounty campaign.

Trying to join 1-2 bounty campaign at that time is what I do without caring whether the bounty is legit or not. Without my knowledge I joined the bounty scam and nothing that I managed to get that far. Sad, but that is the truth.

Exactly a few months before I joined this forum, theymos had implemented an merit system in the forum. Although at that time I could still be promoted to become a junior member, but if I did not get 10 merit when the activities and posts were enough, I would not be promoted to the rank of member.

A few months later, new rules were re-applied. In order to be promoted to a junior member, I must get 1 merit. And at that time I was vacumm from activities because my rank had dropped back to newbi like before because there wasnt a 1 merit that I got even though my activities and posts had passed the member rank limit.

But I began to realize that, without efforts to improve my quality, expand knowledge that could be implemented in the post, I would never be promoted to the next rank.

Therefore, I decided to start concentrating and contributing mainly to the local board Indonesian by making constructive, informative and quality posts. My desire to improve quality has made me more diligent in reading and quite close to various rules.

It is time for me to be promoted to a junior member again after getting my first merit, so that my motivation and enthusiasm grow back to be better again and again. Nothing is impossible to achieve higher rankings when we can contribute to the forum, and I am again promoted to the ranking of members after successfully collecting 10 merit.

My journey still continues, precisely in May 2019 I was again successfully promoted to be a full member because 100 merit that I got through my contribution. And now I am on the way to senior member after so long trying, struggling, and continuing to improve quality so that at the moment I only need 12 more merit to reach my new rank (achieved). And now i am on the way to Hero Member and must collect 201 merit and activities accordingly.

I would like to thank everyone, especially dbshck and other merit sources who have helped me so far, motivated me, directed me in a better direction so I feel very confident to be promoted back to senior member in the near future.
Hopefully I can maintain quality and integrity until I reach 1000 merit and can be promoted to Legendary.

I want this story to trigger the motivation of other users who want to be promoted to the next rank so they can change, improve, and show their quality so they will also get the chance to move up to the next rank. I am very sure that nothing is impossible to achieve your goal ranking when you can contribute well in the forum.
