Topic: Need advice on getting merits - page 2. (Read 1312 times)
If you are somehow jealous because of snr member, hero member etc tons of merit and you are a full member then how much more newbie and Jr member will be, that's by the way. If you actually need/want Tons of merit I think you should go check those your posts and replies you earn merit and compare with those you don't earn any and figure out something for yourself. Any post or reply that deserves a merit surly it be awarded. I wish I am the one with this your merit right now.
Hi guys, I want to ask some tips on getting some merits. I somehow feel jealous when I see other full members having tons of it even if they're just new to the forum. I know that there are some ways to earn it like being active in your local board, engaging in the gambling threads talking about particular sports, create an informational thread, or have some deep knowledge about bitcoin's technical like block size, hash rate, etc. And that's my concern, I am not good with any of those stuffs. I am not a sports enthusiasts nor good in bitcoin technical. Our local board is not that active also compared to others where I see some members' their main merit source.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking my time to read my post. Cheers!

List of Threads Giving Away Merits
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-threads-giving-away-merits-updated-12-march-2018-3048258
What advise can one give here to help, i can not give you any advice on getting merits, but am ready to take my time in explaining to you many other things you need to know or discover about the forum, starting with the rules and regulations, quality post, how to make use of the forum search, moderation policies and also read about all the pinned threads on each board you come across, maybe if you've taken your time and efforts in reading through all these you may not have asked about this OP.
How I wish is easy to make use of these things you mentioned, some newbies find it hard to stick to it especially the search button, I find it hard to use myself.
The only things that's useful in what you said (to me) is trying to make quality post, if the OP always give the Forum quality post I believe he would be noticed by many members in the Forum and his rep would grow then merit will follow.

I am telling you what I believe and what I adhere to when it comes to earning merit. The main purpose of coming to this forum or staying in the forum is not to gain merit, but the purpose of staying in the forum is to know the unknown things from the forum and to inform the members of this forum about the things that I know. When we share our own opinions in this forum and when the information shared by me is useful to another member or when another member learns something new, he can give merit to your post if he wants. Now if you are thinking that I have to post only to gain merit then I will tell you that by posting for this purpose you will neither know anything nor inform others. So think about how to post quality without chasing merit. When the quality of the post is standard and when the post is informative then you don't have to worry about the merit and you will see that you are getting more merit than expected.
You can apply for Hugeblack, merit help for local boards, Fillipone, thread on sharing your best 5 posts for merit and when you need 15 merits to your next rank, Ratimov, helps with the needed merit. And they're all on this particular board, you can take advantage of these opportunities to increase your merits, that is if you're not already doing so. I'm a beneficiary of this merit help, just like like many other members in this forum.
It's important that you're active in the forum and try as much as possible to make quality posts, because I believe that for someone to merit your post here, you'll have to convince them with a quality post that is relevant to the topic of discussion.
Finally I think that the merit system is not very fair in the hands of forum members, because no matter the quality of your posts, if nobody merits you, then there's nothing you can do about it.

I think it would be too early to start applying for those threads
Ratimov Fillipone Hugeblack.
If we're talking about a newbies looking for merit I think they should exercise patience before going to those threads, like get to know some certain things on the Forum before hunting for merit.
I can't say the merit system isn't fair at all, it has to do with what you have to offer, you having a very good post that "you" feel deserve merit doesn't mean you make other members to drop merit because of what you think.
To me I feel you just have to let the merit come when it's time, sometimes what you feel is quality post isn't that quality to others. That's why I think the merit system is just ok to me.
For your information the OP is full member rank, not a newbie, if he were a newbie, I wouldn't have given him such an advice. Check his activity in the forum and you'd have to understand where he's coming from. He's probably not putting in enough quality posts, but I'm not interested to check his posts.
My advice to him was to apply for these merit sources, that is if he wasn't already taking advantage of their merit helps. Of cause he has to up the quality of his posts to get their merit, the same goes for any forum member that needs help from them to rank up.
I however totally agree with you that newbies should focus on learning about crypto related topics and forum rules, before thinking of merit.
We're on the same page brother, I know the OP is a full member not a newbie, I can see that quite alright. What I said was channelled to newbies, that instead of rushing into getting merit or using those links, is best for the newbies to first of all go through things on the Forum before thinking of going for rank up or getting Merit from those mentioned links above. Speaking about how quality the OP's post are before going for those merit help, he already knows how much more he needs to put up to get his post to be up to standard and nobody need to tell the OP that, same goes to all newbies or new members.

The abilities of one person or another also have their own level, sometimes there are those who are experts in the field of sports and they always follow it. So, it is very easy for him to provide responses or answers along with explanations if there are questions.
So, to get a reward, of course there are terms and conditions, meaning it must be constructive, well-spoken and have benefits for the audience and I'm sure that will come.

Knowledgeable posts must be made to qualify. Moreover, since you are a full member, you must have acquired good knowledge about this and posted like people for which you have come up. For a new person to qualify, he must first make his posts look human and post various information about Bitcoin. Moreover, to gain merit one has to go to different places and give good advice to people which is beneficial and encouraging to all. Anyway, if you do well in your local boards you will get merit there, everyone is posting good to increase merit. Also, if you have good knowledge about Blockchain and Bitcoin, then sharing them to everyone can surely qualify you from there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking my time to read my post. Cheers!

Its have been human habit want to push their account higher level by receiving merit as many possibility, beside you need to make good qualities post you must active looking for board have merit source. I think in this board Beginners & Help have two topic as merit source and you can apply the best qualities of your post and hope get merit for them, be active looking the other account merit history and you can participant in their board post to get merit but first important thing you have higher post quality.
Usually each local board have merit source, you can check with your local board are there have topic for helping to receive merit? in my local board there are have topic with specially how to increase qualities post and get reviewed have good post or not for receiving merit. You need be active not passive if want reach to higher level account trough merit system.

I understand your complaint, and as an ordinary human being wanting to get benefits is a natural thing, but in my opinion focus on the quality of your posts because if the quality of your posts is good then the benefits will chase you, and in my you should be able to enjoy the process and should be able to enjoy the discussion . and in my opinion you have to have a goal to enter this forum, whether you want to increase your knowledge or just want to get merits.
op you don't give up keep working and keep fighting I'm sure if you fight then you will get merits. because in my opinion there will be no struggle in vain.and I also see people who get a lot of merits here because the quality of their posts is very good.

Yes, now I understand more and more, so in essence the final goal is not what I think but what I do.
This means I have to love and enjoy this process to the point where what I think becomes reality.
Everyone must love and enjoy the process if they want something better, because there will be nothing new that we can get if we don't love and enjoy the process in any case. Moreover, every thing we think about needs to be realized through action so that it can give birth to the results we previously hoped for, because any result will not come by itself except by going through the process and continuing to act wisely for ourselves in several ways. This means I have to love and enjoy this process to the point where what I think becomes reality.

Don't seek the merits; instead, let the merits seek you. If you care about the quality of your contributions in the forum and focus on enriching this vast space with your knowledge, posts, and purposeful topics, and if you try to become a helpful member to others, you will eventually achieve your goal. Concentrate on boards that align with your expertise and where you can shine and excel. Those members who have dozens of merits have indeed started with the Newbie rank and had no merits initially, but through their diligence and setting goals to enrich content, help the cryptocurrency community and beginners, and become outstanding and well-known contributors, they have now succeeded in reaching their goals. Yes, it takes time, effort, and experience from you, but with your determination, you will eventually succeed, and we may find you among merit source members one day. Nothing is impossible here among the many generous and experienced members. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking my time to read my post. Cheers!
It turns out I was wrong, there are many sayings saying things like that.
It seems hard as a starter but don't mind how other members have gotten far in getting much merit and their rank, they worked hard to get where they are todays, like @Orpichukwu rightly said, is true. When you make quality post merit would come knocking but ones your mind is clouded with getting merit in every post you make, trust me you're not getting any merit but you'll be left with a frustrating look and when that happens that's the end, you might even give up coming online to do anything because is not working.This means I have to love and enjoy this process to the point where what I think becomes reality.
Yes, forget about coming online to get merit, is something that comes without you knowing, I'll say it again. Make sure you put enough effort on whatever post you're making and your contributions too should be in line. To me ones you're going about business the right way things will definitely work out for you.
You know if merit are being gifted just like that, without doing anything to deserve it, nobody would be here or trying to learn, share important information and here won't be that serious as it is now. So I'd say keep doing the best you can, with time you'd get your first reward.

At first I thought that this forum was not the same as experience in working in the real world..
"Don't chase merit; make quality posts and allow merit to chase you."
It turns out I was wrong, there are many sayings saying things like that. 
And mean while don't always have it in mind that you must get merit in each we quality post. Just continue posting quality and you will receive merits when you don't expect.
The moment one conceives in his mind that any post that they make must earn them merit, that's the moment they start failing. Even the most reputable members in the forum and the ones who also rank 1st to 10th don't earn merit in each of their posts.
One thing that I have come to realize is that, most times, the post that we make and the contribution that we have offered in the form of providing help, answers, and any other form of problem that we might have helped a member solve or the forum in general might not even earn that merit, which he was convinced in his mind that he was going to earn by making that post.
Sometimes the merit comes when we least expect it, and most times it comes as one expected it, but always trying to make a post just to earn merit is what usually leads many people to plagiarism and using other tools in order to make their post stand out, which also don't help but rather lands them into trouble.
The best way is just to do what you can and remove the mindset that earning merit is hard in the forum or having the feeling that newbies are not being given merit, as such a mindset can discourage someone from trying harder. Being original is one thing I have seen help a lot of us grow in this forum.
