It's not hard to get merited on this forum, instead of begging which I'm sure you will get nailed for by mean members who can insult everything that passes their way just make sure you contribute and help others, I believe that those asking for merits from others believe it's so hard to get merit but it's not

If you have the mindset of earning merits for the sole purpose of ranking your account to join campaign signatures, then receiving merits would be significantly difficult. But if you have the mindset of contributing in the forum by sharing your knowledge, experience, or expertise in a certain subject about cryptocurrencies, then people would appreciate your post which would garner you merits.

Begging for merits would lead you nowhere. You would just contribute to the spam and people would avoid your post and just move on. Instead of chasing merits, contribute something worth-it and merits would be the one chasing you.

Sure it's not. But not all time though 😂😂i have an experience concerning that. But i really thing the best is just to ignore ranking aspect of the forum. It will come at its perfect time. The moment you're thinking you're due for ranking, you will start commenting on all posts just because you want to be recognized even when u have no idea what the post is all about. I witness that in my native group when we're speaking pidgin English (which is totally different from the English you know) an Arab came from no where and wrote only what God knows 😂

Credibility towards what?

Account registration date per se does not lead to anything. There are hundreds of old accounts that just spam the forum, just as there are hundreds that wakeup years later, still bearing only a few posts under the belt, and still lacking any shed of being savy or trustworthy.

On the topic of merit begging, it does not really seem to be a volume based trend, and I’ve very seldom seen it happen via PM (experience will of course vary from one person to another). There are quite a few threads that facilitate earning a couple with an ounce of effort, besides regular posting, which probably reduces the temptation to ask for it on a higher scale.

Post count and merit means nothing. Don't be fooled by either. Both can be gamed.

IMO, registration date is most important and provides the most credibility.

What a shame for those newbies who are begging for merit without doing something to earn it.

Right now, we really need a much more effective user here, those who can share knowledges, thoughts, ideas, information, and etc, effectively.

If you will only beg for merits then you should change your mindset. It is not that easy to earn merits that's why other users are doing their best so that they can earn the merits that they deserve. This forum are now composed of newbies who are lazy enough to learn and understand why we have a community like this.

It also happened to me that I was getting private messages from newbie members asking me to give them merits.
That tells me 2 things, that these are members who don’t think they have the knowledge or experience with which they can contribute to the forum and help other members and secondly they obviously came here for earning opportunities.

Thanks for your nice advice. I learned a lot from your post. Getting merit by begging can never be a matter of pride. I will always try to gain merit by posting well. Because I believe that the thing that is hard to find is very satisfying. If I can collaborate with others with informative and knowledgeable posts then of course I will get merit. It may hurt me and take a little longer. But in the end, this habit will take me a long way.

Mostly people want it to join the signature and bounty campaign. One part wants it to create trust for others in currency exchanges(In this case I think feedback is of more importance.)

Indeed most newcomers that come to this forum want to rank up for that purpose although there's no much campaign which accepts jr members. In regards to currency exchange with the others I think having jr member or higher rank doesn't immediately increase the people trust on you and as you said before feedback is the most important in this case, it's worthless if you have lots of negative feedback even though you are in a high rank.

However begging for merits is the wrong way to rank up no matter whats the reason behind it.

This is a notable factor. But i actually noticed that newbies and jr members spams the forum the most. And this is because they want to increase in rank so they can have higher chance of signing signatures. I think enlightening them is the best giving and deleting a spam message and sending a warning message to spammers but giving them negative trust won't help them.

It is not too ideal to private chat other members for merits, it might look as if the person is actually desperate to get one, patience is the main key to earn good merits. As a new member, it is advisable to take your time to contribute earnestly to the forum by having a critical thinking on whatsoever post or topics we are contributing to. Although, the merit is not as easy as it seems bet I beleive that persistency is one of those keys to earning an excellent series of merits on this forum. There is no need to be in an haste to earning merits, our meaningful posts would earn us merits which I believe.

You have a pretty good mindset, mate, that we should not be hasty and too desperate to earn merits just to make our account rank up because we will only get ourselves in trouble that our account could get banned or get a negative trust. Newcomers or beginners should definitely read the rules and regulations of this forum first before they engage so that they would know the dos and don'ts.

It's not really that hard to earn merits on this forum, it's a big shame asking people for merits when there is informations on this forum about how you can easily earn merit, the fact is don't put focus on earning merits but instead focus on making contributions, help people out in whatever difficulty they are facing consigning any crypto related issue and you will earn merits one way or the other

For newbies and Jr members out there please stop begging for merits to any users here since instead of ranking up you will possibly get a red trust from the other user since begging is been discourage.

Just do a pure effort to have a healthy discussion and became a good contributor here since the merit you want will follow if people see your post is merit worthy.

I receive a message today from a user see pic below.

For high ranking members If you see any newbies or Jr members please advise them the proper way to earn merits so that they can improve and became better member, reporting then cannot do anything good.

Hopefully newbies will take this advice/message and will not beg for anything here.

How wish they can just have patience out their head to work. Sure they will get merits. When I take a look at my merits I will be like how did I get this far trust me it's not magic. It's just a devoted time I pulled in to help the forum especially the newbies to understood what they never knew before now.

They don't know merits are easy to get when you devot your time to bring up something that will help the forum to grow. Not on begging. Put your brain to work and you will surly get a reward.

I've recently received a PM from a user who was close to ranking up, and who proposed me to check out his posts and consider Meriting them. I did not find that problematic and I didn't interpret it as begging.

However, sending messages purely begging for Merit - meaning: without actually explaining why you would deserve Merit - will probably lead to me leaving (neutral) feedback on your profile, like this guy.

Even, from the guy's username, it is obvious the user isn't a serious minded person. I don't bother reading mails from users like that for they're clearly spammers.

Newbie users like that are so annoying because they want something instantly.

It is really hard to give them the things that they want without even doing something to earn it.

Do your best always so that you can earn merit that you want because merit is not that easy to earn especially that it only belongs to those who deserved it.

Looking for gigs

Some of my crypto contacts from the past who are inactive on Bitcointalk right now are begging or exchanging merits. This is why they are getting a ban hammer on this forum. They even asked me back then, but I choose to ignore and just earn merits naturally. A scammer named elmanchez also did asked me to have merit exchanging (before he exit scammed via loan default), but I choose not to and told him that it is a very bad idea. Because of that, he removed my green trust (coz' I've "donated" a small amount to him and didn't know he was an exit scammer back then) like he was frowning I believe.

Anyways to the newbies and Jr. members, if you really want to earn merits, try come up with a valuable topic or reply or info that catches good attention to the community without any expectations at all. For sure, you'll get one. Patience is a virtue.

After closing those topics, I received several unwanted private messages in which newbies begged me for merits.
I didn’t give them a negative or neutral trust but I will think about it next time.
Newbie members should learn how to be patient and how to raise the quality of their forum posts.

If they were normal users, it would still be good. I myself get such PNs on a regular basis after writing that I am a merit source. Over time, I noticed that the usernames of the Merit beggars are similar or follow a pattern. Then I looked at the mostly one or two line posts of the users and also noticed similarities. So I came to the decision that it was a matter of professional account farmers who would quickly develop them into higher ranks and then be sold.
