Topic: Need advice on getting merits (Read 1492 times)

One can be merited here if you provide a quality and informative post, a problem solving post, most time people think is by making long post before you can be merited long post without any useful information will only give you zero merit.
Being actively consistent in the forum and also reading and understanding the concept of any thread and providing a useful information regarding to it has 98% merit chance also been consistent in reading other merited post can also help in getting merit in time front.

Merit as a paramount part of this great forum can't be underemphasized. I can imagine the quest @op, this can be felt or have been felt by so many if not every one.

However, if care is not taken merit quest can be a discouraging factor just as I experienced personally. Like others stated clearly, actively engaging here can open merit doors even as I am yet to massively experience, since you will not only have insight of good post as op, but informative responses also.

There are many things around with usually when someone try to earn merit it's never works we mostly need to have things which are helpful and informative then we can do better work and also can earn merit with if we will go just for the merit it's never have positive reply now this forum is having many options and chances for all members have their own way of earning and getting information.
But mostly we need to be stayed at the point which is important for us and also helpful for all others then things can go better, and we can earn more than our expectations as well sometimes we stuck just because of our mind-set is not doing as we needed.

I'm just curious about the big winnings that will becoming on one's path. It's just a matter of consistency and we should always look upon the bright side of light. Making constructive posts is not an easy task but with time, member will learn and adapt for the smooth running of the system. Merits is not easily earned in the forum because every member holds tightly and given the necessary pushing efforts for winning.

Op, my happiness is that you know what to do in order to earn tons of merit according to you but your inability to do those things has become a problem for you but I believe you can deal with it and start earning merit like others. I understand that feelings when you are old in the forum and a new member is earning more merit than you that is old in the forum, it's always annoying and discouraging at times.

However, the forum is not partial and they don't comprise when it comes to awarding someone merit, if your post or reply is merit worthy definitely you are going to receive it. You are no longer a newbie or member but a full member I am happy for you and I believe you have delt with that inability to fit in, inability to make up post or reply that will give you merit I hope you learn more so that you will continue growing.

Basically, to get merit, we must not be lazy about studying and reading because by doing these two things we will automatically gain knowledge and insight so that when we make posts it will be more useful and constructive. Of course, being frequently active in forums is also a factor in getting Merit, because the more often you are active in forums, the more familiar you will be with the discussions in the forum, which makes us more comfortable in discussing.

Yes I agree with you. Don't focus on looking for merit, but focus on your skills in making quality posts that are useful for people to read, then the reward will come by itself. Because believe me, if you focus on hunting for rewards, you will quickly give up and end up leaving this forum.

To get Merit you need to make quality and informative posts, create posts that people can benefit from and know some unknown subject through you, everyone will give you Merit, and always research to create such quality and informative posts. You will become a good postman if you know everything. You can better understand your own local board on such matters. There you will get everything detailed in your own language.

You have just said it all mate. contributing positively to the forum is the major thing that will help one earn merit and in order to keep earning more you need to be consistent in those your contribution but do not make contribution with the intention to earn merit, it will be given to you if you deserve it there's no compromise. Contribute what you think it will be helpful to the forum remember information is power and i believe this forum has helped a lot people from been scammed because of the information they received.

I have to agree with you, being active regularly in the forum will help a lot in establishing your knowledge and personal experience in the forum. Hence, one cannot expect to acquire merits if he is not present or does not post most often as the more you engage in the forum, the bigger chances you will improve your potentials as a quality and valuable poster. If you fail to do that, you might also fail in your goal to earn merits knowing the people around may find it hard to acknowledge you if you don’t consistently post in the forum.

Is already obvious that before one can earn merits in this forum it depends on your knowledge and contribution and being active in the forum that will make someone to earn merits and grow account, because once you just make a quality post that would what merit once our high rank members go through it and see that you are making sense and they have (Sendable merits) they are going to merit the post.

And secondly following merits source is actually good because they always have s merits,  but for someone to earn merits from them is for you to be always active and always contribute on their thread once you can be able to convince him on his post them you can start earning merits from them.

In exactly this section of the forum is the sticky thread by Lauda Newbies - Read before posting

Have you seen it? Have you read and understood it? It's no rocket science, seriously. There are also two Merit related links in Lauda's first post there. Did you see them? Did you follow those links and read further? C'mon you're not a toddler anymore, I hope.

Anyway, Mayor of ogba has already taken the liberty of giving you an answer in condensed form.

You shouldn't care too much about Merits but rather learn how to search information and answers in this forum. A lot of questions have already been answered here, but it's sometimes not the easiest thing to find them. You can also search this forum on https://ninjastic.space/search. Some people prefer to be spoon fed, some people grow up. To which camp do you want to belong? 

Merit is a reward given to users of this forum who are providing useful information that will help and guide users who are not getting a clear understanding of something or how things work here, just the way you want to know what merit is all about. Merit also shows how good you are in this forum. With merit, you can achieve different ranks in this forum if you can earn the required amount that will make you achieve a new rank here. If you receive 2 merits, you will have 1 sendable (sMerit), which you can send to another user of this forum. Another reason for the merit system is to prevent users from gaining new ranks by just posting shitposts. For you to get this merit, you need to be active and help users get answers to their questions.

I didn't see anything wrong with your question, and based on what I could tell from your post, you seem to have interest to learn. At first, when I read your post, I thought that if a full member would ask a question like this, the account should be suspicious. But after looking through your profile, I discovered that you have been a member of this forum for a years, is just that you haven't been active. Back then, the merit system wasn't as it is now, it was easier for members to earn merit than it is today.
The new merit system rules make it more challenging for newbies to concentrate on their learning here because they know they can't rank up to the desired level without the necessary merit and that creating a quality post is mandatory for receiving merit. This should indicate that producing your best work is an important for ranking up.

The only advice I have for you on how to gain marits is to contribute to the forum positively (meaningful and quality posts). You have already pointed out certain areas where you may get merits, but it is tough to earn merits in the gamble section now.
Avoid forcing yourself to respond to every post if you don't have anything meaningful to say. If you do, you'll end up adding nothing of value to the forum, which won't help you gain merits. So focus on what you know you're good at and avoid becoming frustrated trying to achieve merit instead, let the merits chase you.

You're right. Learning should be the focus first. There is no merit if we have zero knowledge. No one wants to grant our post with merits if all the posts aren't valuable and meaningless. We also need to understand how to make a constructive post with appropriate words and correct language rules. This is not something that we can do easily without learning.

Agree. If we are too focused on hunting merits, we will forget about the fundamental aspects in this forum. We also probably forget to improve our knowledge because we think it is not really needed anymore.

Whenever I see a comment like this from a newbie, I am heartily glad that there are still people out there who are more eager to learn and I have often seen people with that mindset succeed.

Greed is something that can't keep us focused for a long time to do something even if that greed is to get merits here because when we do not find our meaning, we get tired of that work and we leave that work or we develop negativity about this thing. Only desire to learn and understand is something that keeps us engaged with anything for long and it is the only thing that can make us very successful in life.

Just as a diamond is known for its brilliance, gold is valuable for its utility, so educated and experienced people become popular and desirable because of their experience and knowledge. No one knows how long the accounts and this forum are there but the knowledge and knowledge learned from here will stay with you forever so everyone should try to learn something from here.

Getting merits actually takes time because you need to secure your learning first by being active most often in the forum. And when you think you have gained sufficient amount of knowledge and experience, that’s when you will see getting merits come so easily after they have acknowledged your posts because it’s helpful and meaningful for them.

Don’t focus on hunting merits first but rather give full attention on what you can learn in the forum. That’s the best possible way so you can maximize earning merits as well as maximize learning in the forum.

Why do you care for merits? Your account's rank is "Full member" simply by it's age. You only gained 1 merit point since the inception of the merit point system. Well, that on itself says something about the value of your postings.

But again, why do you ask how to get more merit? To read and post in the forum, you don't need to care about it.

If you're interested in signature campaigns, I can tell you that your account and forum interaction habits are not interesting for signature campaign managers and those you pay for signature campaigns. You opened this thread, gave one additional reply and are know inactive for more than 200 days. From nothing, comes nothing, simple as that. I didn't dig deeper, why should I.

Merit is in one part an appreciation token given to user's whose contributions add value to forum's content and other users. If you can't add such a value with your posts then I'm sorry, you don't deserve to get merit points.

From what I can see, you have been in the forum since 2017 and the last time you login to the forum was 2023 which shows that you are not an active and regular person in the the forum.  You will have to be regular in the forum for you to keep getting merits. If you have been active since when you write this post, it would have been quite okay and people would have seen the need to give you merits. You are not active and you are not in any signature campaign, it could be difficult for you to get merits since you don't write nor try to make good post that would make people find you as a regular and good poster.

I won't say that I feel jealous seeing other people's merit because when I joined this forum I was already told that it is very difficult to get merit here so I never wanted it. If I post or comment here, I will get credit for it if I deserve it.

The main reason of joining this forum was to gain knowledge in many things that I am getting. The rest of the things you mentioned in your post that you are not an expert in them, so I am also not an expert in them, so that means I will never be able to get merit, but I feel like getting merit once I'm knowledgeable enough. So there is no need for all these things if you are capable and your writing is good. The senior members present here will definitely help you because once they were also newbies and they also know very well that those who work hard deserve support.

One thing you need to understand about the merit system implemented in forums, merit flows automatically in quality posts, there is nothing that can prevent merit from flowing in quality posts that you produce because this system is not moderated directly by the forum. Choosing the right topic/post content such as containing information and knowledge for other members, is one way to improve the quality of the topics/posts you make. You also need to pay attention to the forum rules which strictly prohibit copying and pasting. This prohibition needs to be avoided to keep your account's reputation clean.

Be a quality poster if you want to get merit, I know you will get bored if you stay in the same rank for a long time. You have to rely on yourself to reach a higher rank, merit assistance from other members will always come to quality posters.
