I'm new here, I want to know how many post or activity one will make a day

If you are new to the forum, just check these threads, if you haven't read them already:

1. FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit
2. Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)
3. Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ

In general, however, you should not put much importance on merit and activity as a newbie. If you stay active and write meaningful, helpful posts, your forum rank will (magically) rise all by itself.

If you are only aiming to increase your forum rank in order to participate in signature campaigns, you will not have an easy time. I can promise you that, haha.  Wink

there will be a lot of changes if implemented, Legendary rank will have 6 gold without purple in the end.

Sounds like those Samsung/ iPhone naming convention. Plus, Pro, Max Grin
That would be awesome, like if anyone has over 10000+merit he would be Legendary ultra pro MAX.

Adding the ranks you mentioned above would be a fresh journey for the Legendary members which in turn make them hustle for more merits in the forum, but it'll demoralize some lower ranked members knowing that the journey is yet too far to get to elite. I think the best method is to change the color of the last coins on the legendary member's account who manages to hit the desired merit and activity count for a new rank. Instead of changing names that'll be a better way to distinguish between different levels of legendary ranks. On the other hand, the bitcoin sign you suggested, has been set aside for the core bitcoin developers and that will cause some complication when trying to determine who is indeed a developer, or worked with Satoshi.

What we should also consider when talking about adding another rabk to the legendary rank is that am sure after a new rank is been added, there will always still be a new urge for more, which to me will make it seems a kind of competitive race as to who are the eligible legendary members to get there first, being a legendary already is good enough to proof that you've done a lot in the past that has earned you to that rank you are.

Like somebody said; it'll add to more qaulity post in the forum, but your response depends only on the mark of elegibility; number of merits, and activity. If it's kept somewhere around 20,000 merits it'll be a difficult task and only a few would strive for that as it seems almost impossible. But, if kept around 2k merits then over 150 members who have already earned 2k merits will be instantly promoted to the new level which won't make any difference anymore. Frankly speaking, this is just a suggestion and may not get implemented, and the fact it's not implemented shouldn't stop legendary members from investing more knowledge into the forum. I mean earning merits looks good regardless of the rank a user found himself. So, legendary members shouldn't reduce the quality of posts because the ranking level ended there. In case a new rank arrives then it won't be a tedious task for them anymore, that is if shifted to a long merit number like 20k or 30k merits.

Actually there is no need for new ranks tbh. The current system works fine. People that post quality content rank up and shitposters won't make it.

Apart from that, you should visit Bitcointalk to communicate, talk about Bitcoin and socialize with other Bitcoin enthusiasts - not to hunt for a new forum rank.

What would you call something after Legendary anyway? Super Legendary? Elite Legendary?

I think we're good.

Legendary seems enough in terms of rank and i do not think we need another higher rank than the Legendary. And yes, people can still stand out among Legendries if they have more positive trusts. But i don't think we need a new rank.

Maybe don't change too much from Legendary, just add + and add more gold from 5 to 6 like the picture below.

Legendary/ (pronounce: "Legendary Slash") sounds much cooler.

These might "sound" cooler, but what about adding a BTC symbol instead of anything random.  Tongue

Legendary BTC or BTC Legendary

While I remain opposed to another rank, I would argue (if there really is a new rank) for a clearly visible difference from Legendary status. Like for example:

Epic
Elite
Veteran

Please no, haha.  Cheesy

I remember that day, when the merits become a thing in the forum. Since I was a Legendary user at that point I get instant 1000 merits, and when I realize other users have to get those 1000 merits to become a legendary user I really feel bad for them.

It’s okay to feel bad for the new users that later joined the forum after the airdropped merits, it isn’t kinda easy keeping up and contributing worthwhile informations to the forum.. I would say the airdropped merits it’s your reward for joining early and believing in bitcoin at that moment when the whole world was against it.

It has been a long time, this week was the 5th birthday of the merits system as we can see in this thread ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350 ). And a lot of people have worked hard to become legendary user in the forum.

It isn’t easy moving from newbie to legendary but every move is always an optimistic step towards achieving the main aim. Working hard to rank up is for the new users now, the early birds have already benefited from this through the airdropped merit.

I think BTC Legendary looks more unique and defines what you are called a Legendary in this forum. Whether or not any changes happen with the Rank system but if it happens and there is voting I would support it. Epic, Elite, and Veteran are some titles that have been used or are being used in other forums. Creating something unique like this one gives a unique identity to those who have achieved it.

Do you know how hard it is to make it up to through those ranks already?? Ofcourse I shouldn't find much difficulties in making illustrations over them cus you were once a newbie and you know what it took you.
No, we don't need a new rank...it's just gonna make the whole thing clumsy and senseless -- I'mma be asking myself, am I actually playing on a mortal Kombat? Cus we've even stages more than those mortals...lol ... that's shitty dude. I always keep saying that Theymos isn't gonna look through a Post like this for the second time cus he's got alot of things on his waiting list already.

Well, if the consideration for new Bitcointalk rank is open to ideas, I see no reason as to why only merit score should be the only criteria required.
Those who have stayed too long on a particular rank,  have shown consistency in contributing with improved post quality and have promise to get better, should be considered for the new Bitcointalk rank too, don't you think?

Having a new rank implies making the system more taskable for user to get a newer rank, I believe now many people are complaining of the restrictions and limitations, so if added another rank I wonder how quickly they could get to the newest rank and imagining how tough it will be for the beginners. However, I don't see any reason to add additional rank while people are still struggling with this limitations. Instead of new rank there should be something pretty more better, maybe anyone who attains a particular merits (10k above) can get a "Title". Meaning him or she have to chose a title then send it to Theymos to be customized on their profile imo. At least this will actually make it very interesting and fun.

theymos has never replied on this idea and likely he did not feel comfortable to deploy it officially.
That means its impossible to have a new rank and based on the discussion here, I doubt it will ever be deploy. But it seems some of the veterans are interested to have this new rank. The idea isnt bad after all, since we have something to look forward besides being a legendary rank already.

Let's rest 1000 merits to all the legendary users from those who get 1000 merits and make a new raking for those who haven't hit the 1000 merits. For example, if you have 1990 merits, then you will be 10 merits away from legendary, but you will have the new rank until then.

What would be a good name for this new rank?

That's called power creeping.

A certain flaw in game balance design, where content released later tends to get more powerful as time goes. This can be seen in multiplayer games that have regular expansions or balance patches.

The merit system was created because people were creating account farms and it was too easy to do it. Merits didn't stop the farmers but slowed them down. Maybe the old farmers got away with it because they already had an army but it did stop the newbies from creating new farms.

I don't think we need more of this thing. Getting to legendary is already hard enough. No need to turn this forum into an RPG where you upgrade items and ranks.

Reading the topic, too, in my head all the time, I did not leave the thought of turning the ranking by the gradation of the rarity of heroes into an RPG, it remains only to add the divine rank and there will be complete completeness. Smiley

Since the current ranking system requires a quasi-similar amount of Merits and Activity for the mid-to-high Ranks, I’m assuming that this pattern would roughly follow (not exactly), and therefore the most logical potential candidate requirements would be:

2k Merits & 2k Activity (greater or equal on both accounts): 95 Accounts
3k Merits & 3k Activity (greater or equal on both accounts): 22 Accounts
4k Merits & 4k Activity (greater or equal on both accounts): 1 Account
Elite rank sounds interesting, Btw Legendary members have for long been left out with nothing to look forward to, but this challenge of a new rank is a welcome development as this will give them a reason to hang out more often on the forum & share with us their knowledge. And just to make this not out of reach for many, I suppose the 3k Merits & 3k Activity should be a good reach Roll Eyes

Mr. A can be in Legendary rank with Mr. B. But Mr. Having upto 5,000 merits while Mr. B has 1023 merits will likely show that Mr A contributes meaningfully than Mr. B. If this continue to work, what then is the need of adding another rank?
With this logic, there might be no need for any ranks at all. A user with 500 merits is assumed to contribute better than one with 10 (not always),

Not always. I believe the logic is reasonable to this context because the only major contributor to rank up is merit. The activity is constant. If we both remain active in the forum for 14days we get same number of activities but we cannot same amount of merits.
So after legendary rank where activities and merits no longer contribute to rank up as there is no rank up, the value of merits is expressively seen and felt as the higher number of merits apart from merit airdropped is seen as the better contributor.
