I have become very familiar with the beginners and help section of this Bitcoin forum talk that even when am just surfing or reading any post that interest me, I gain exposure and insight into the functionality and technicality of new innovations involved in Bitcoin.
With topics created out of curiosity or for information purpose or for directional purpose, as long as it is discussed or inputs in form of comments are made I learn. Same goes for all.

And it's actually very appropriate because it refers to the Beginner & Help board, I mean the presence of beginners usually only asks questions about how to adapt to forums, ranking up and ways to avoid any restrictions that are not allowed on forums, actually that's not wrong and they really have to read to avoid that. But the problem is when they don't study and ask these questions repeatedly by opening up new topics, even though what they have to do is study to understand and also the many suggestions given are sometimes neglected because they are lazy to read.

Whereas for those who are good at adapting it is quite short to learn something in the forum, thus helping them grow and develop quickly. Everyone has contributed according to their abilities such as giving directions from every question from beginners and there are very many people who care about each other, this shows the strength of the forum and we complement each other and even though sometimes we never know each other.

Do ranks actually mean anything tho? I’m in the earliest ranks and I see a lot of high ranks who don’t seem to have any idea about even the basic stuff about Bitcoin. They just post to.. post or to pass time I guess? And then I see some new members who seem to know so much that you’d think they worked with Satoshi behind the scenes for a decade..

Well for some it matters like OP. But the truth is it isnt important at all when it comes to discussion. But since there is a hierarchy here that means its become a strong criteria if you are good in discussion or not. Why? Cause there is a merit application to those who done good or witty post. More users doesnt mind that but for others we can feel it is. Thats a shame that some high rank disregard some lower rank cause of their knowledge here. But you can noticed some that are really helpful.

Signature campaign matters when it comes to hierarchy but thats not the purpose of this forum but a certain privilege to some who really contributing useful discussion and topics.

You know what?
You are very correct...
There are alot of high ranked accounts who doesn't have an idea of the basics of bitcoin. When you see them post, you will be pushed to question their rank. They could also be newbies who bought high rank accounts.
In the other hand, there are some newbies who are very grounded in bitcoin before they discover this forum. This is the reason why what matters in this forum is the quality of contribution you give and your reputation.

It's rare to find a forum without the ranking features, but this forum's ranking method is quite difficult such that members are being encouraged to rank in the forum and also some members feel happy to get to the top rank. I've noticed that when something is made simple but not simpler people would want to climb just to standout from other users or get to the same rank with some users. However, the hierarchy in the forum has two beautiful rewards; trusts and reputation. Brands trust high ranked members because of the reputation they've got in the forum. If a member is at the top rank and doesn't have a good trust history, such a member may not enjoy completely the gifts the forum has to offer.

A system of heirachy is just to show organization and this forum has shown it is very organized in both the way it handles its issues and others relating to spammers.
I have surfed through the boards so much so that I have understood what meaningful contribution is, this post is not out of place too as contributions from everyone makes it interesting irrespective of race, class, gender, technology.
I am hoping to be informed right with the experienced hands here so as not to loose out on the entire cryptocurrency market.

It's only important if you want to post an image (you need to be at least Jr. Member rank or buy a copper membership) or you want to wear avatar (you need to be at least Full member rank), mostly each rank has signature space restriction, reaching Hero member rank will unlock all of the restrictions.

Most of high ranked accounts were got merit airdropped before the merit system, this begin on the early 2018, that's why you see they're mostly shitposters.

They posts to get paid, if they joined a campaign.

Members who have joined have their own way of contributing to the forum, not all members who rank higher have high knowledge, some of them can be ranked higher due to the Airdrop merit. I really appreciate the slightest contribution given to the forum, quality comments can come from Jr members or Members and we need to appreciate their efforts in conveying information or guides that can add to the knowledge of other users.
The 126 merits that you get while joining the forum are a form of appreciation from other users for your contribution to the forum, you can be better or exceed other users who are ranked higher than you. As long as you are willing to grow, you will be part of the new beauties of the forum.

This is one of the very few places that I have noticed, there's no room for racism like other places. What matters most here is the quality of your post. You can see a users from a third world countries been appreciated for the quality put in their posts created and when that's done, you can observe how impactful that merit rewards is to the user. Immediately they start working on their writing skills trying to improve on their general discussion as well. The forum made it possible that what we care about is who is giving out the right and quality information and not who has the highest rank.

Excluding some boards that lower ranked users can't post in (and that criteria was put there to prevent spamming of those boards as discussion there are more serious like the serious discussion board). Excluding those boards, the general forum is opened to everyone to discuss and that's one of the beauty of this forum. There hasn't been anyone that has been consistent in his quality contributions to the forum that hasn't been recognized.

The beauty of the hierarchy of Bitcointalk ranks is that it virtually doesn't matter when talking about discussion purposes. It only matters when talking about campaigns and marketplace purposes.

You are right because hierarchy of bitcointalk doesn't deprived anyone not to engage in serious discussion and any board, while some are curious to rank up in the forum is as a result of earning in signature campaign without that ranking or hierarchy can't deprived to associate or participate in any forum section's, we have to be careful and slow down to escalate thing's concerning the terms of the hotel

Not once or twice I’ve seen very good contribution to a subject matter from a low ranked member in the forum. All members should be appreciated for their contributions to the forum irrespective of their ranks. Rank is just an hierarchy but doesn’t define the level of knowledge once has in the forum or about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general.

There are old accounts that barely earned any merit yet hold high ranks. Those users are complete shitposters despite technically being high rank.

I believe that some people are no longer interested in making contributions to the forum, and that the majority of them must have technically received their merits through airdropping and may not know what it takes to make a decent contribution and be given merit to appreciate one's contributions to the forum. Whatever the case may be, the implementation of the merit system has significantly reduced spamming and low quality post on the forum.

I also really appreciate it too from what our seniors have done and strived for, none other than so that we don't fail to understand because many people have not been educated about Bitcoin, either the community or others as a whole, without any hope of appreciation or financial rewards.

Their biggest motivation is sharing knowledge and having a sense of responsibility towards the community so they spend a lot of time on this Forum to make it clear and clear and if anyone has constructive suggestions they are happy to give small gift for that, because it is deemed appropriate and worthy of giving .

My respects and appreciation goes out to us too, I didn't mean to leave us out of the bracket. Am glad no one distinct ranked member knows it all, thus the importance of each member.
I also am reminded of how rank is not necessary for comments and discussion in threads and posts, but its main reason is for campaigns and marketplace. Thanks again. I appreciate.

The beauty of the forum is that it gives every member equal opportunity to express themselves. Newbies and other low-ranked members can contribute to threads without discrimination. Low-ranking members also receive the same recommendation and rewards as high-ranking members if their contributions are exceptional. But this will not push aside the fact that most high-ranking members are more knowledgeable. So it will not be wrong to state that these high-ranking members have been a source of help and support to newbies in the beginners and help sections. Their wealth of experience make them versatile in multiple areas of Bitcoin giving them an edge over most low-ranked members.

Those who have ranked up in their time here and have taken out time to inform those of us just joining with the information we need are the real VIPs.

VIPs are members who donated 50 BTC to the forum. They are very old members from years ago.

A lower member rank for members who donated BTC to forum is Donator, with 10 BTC. A last donator is Claymore in 2017.

List of VIP donators and Donators

I believe VIP members in your post are not about VIP and Donator members but members who have excellent helpful posts and earned a lot of merit.

I just love it when I see legendary or hero members or senior members or other high ranking members make great insightful comments that helps really.

It confirms that you are talking about high earned merit members.

There are old accounts that barely earned any merit yet hold high ranks. Those users are complete shitposters despite technically being high rank.

Also, rank simply means having a lot of merit, and merit is not awarded strictly for being helpful. People on local boards, meta board and megathreads like wall observer generously shower each other in merit for very simple posts.

There are outstanding users with deep knowledge who earned thousands of merits, but people with hundreds of merits often just earned it by posting something that others agree with.

Ranking system's purpose is to reduce spam on the forum by making new users impossible to rank up if their posts are low quality.

It is not always top ranking members that provides directions and information about bitcoin as you said. There are some newbies who also know the technical things of bitcoin and they also help. Where you will exclusively emphasis the importance of the high ranking members is in the experience they have built in the forum.
Some of my questions about bitcoin got answers from low rank members. So, it is just a discussion forum and the person with the better knowledge of what is being discussed provided answers and in most cases are the higher ranked members.

I couldn't have said it better. While it's important to acknowledge the presence of the higher ranking members, it's also necessary to applaud the lower ranks too because they help with activities in the forum due to their zeal and initial excitement.
I can't give accurate statistics but I know that majority of the activities on here is championed by the lower ranks, whether it be informative or spam.

Everyone would agree it is quite hard to even know the right questions to ask these days with current market trends in crypto world, fiat world, and with all the development and innovation taking up space and filling the web everyday.

Please give credit to everyone on the forum doing their possible best on the forum regardless of rank, one of the things I did not like has always been trying to get in the good books of top ranking members leaving out the hard work many low ranking members has been putting in, I appreciate everyone doing the right thing and rank here in the forum doesn't automatically mean you have more knowledge than another person, you can only have a better forum experience.

As a newbie or lower ranking member keep pushing for more knowledge and thanks for your contributions already to the forum, keep following the rules and the only thing that can happen is personal growth and of course forum growth.

The forum rank was indeed one of the best initiative ever implemented, as that tell the difference between an old experience member and a newbie in need of help. And secondly, that was implemented so as to differentiate between quality posters who add value to the forum and spammers who only come here to partake in bounty offers.
But however, ranking up on the forum has never been that easy, as it takes time, dedication and hard work for one to attain such height, which possibly anyone can achieve same result with the right motivation.

The togetherness among forum members stems from our shared passion for Bitcoin. Everyone here is eager to offer whatever useful Bitcoin information they have, and everyone is eager to reply positively to any Bitcoin-related debates or questions.

Some newbies were familiar with Bitcoin before joining the forum, and they are willing to share their knowledge with others when a need arises. Because even a newcomer can be a problem solution in this forum, and all suggestions are appreciated, the forum rating does not determine how significant a user is to the discussion in the forum.
