Topic: Rank in Bitcointalk - page 2. (Read 1090 times)
Ranking on Bitcointalk use to be automatic. You contribute quality post and the forum promote you base on your number of your post and activities. Then came a lots of newbie who only want to spam the forum to get what they want that was the point where merit system came in to safe the forum from spam and scam.
After the introduction of the merit system, it became difficult to raise its rank. Especially for a beginner. I think that we need to revise this system somehow.
After the implementation of the merit system, it will be much more difficult to earn the higher ranks. It will not only require the activity but also quality posts that earn merits. Earning the merits is the most difficult task of ranking up.
Have been feeling the brunt of this change as I do not have any bitcointalk groups to work with to increase my merit.
You need to have enough activity and merit to rank up .

This answer is enough to answer your question. Now be careful in making post, make sure you make it with your knowledge of cryptocurrency, and try to make a quality post it will make you a little faster to up your rank, because the merit system will make you more excited in making post.Here is tha activity you need to rank up

It is very hard to up a rank now. You can make a good post and get only 1-2 merits) But I think the quality of posts is increased.
Wonder what will the criteria for a rank change in this forum? I mean to move form Jr ->Member ->Full member etc. is it number of posts you contribute orhow long you've joined the forum?
before, every 2 weeks, your activity will update by adding 14. and if you reach the activity needed, you will rank up. But now, from newbie to jr.member you need to have 30 activity to rank up, afterwards to rank up member from jr.member, their are two factors needed. You need to reach the activity requirements and merits too. Activity is not that hard to have, but the merits one make it hard.
After the implementation of the merit system, it will be much more difficult to earn the higher ranks. It will not only require the activity but also quality posts that earn merits. Earning the merits is the most difficult task of ranking up.
Honestly, just a few people will reward useful posts with merits. Everything will turn into an exchange business and some black business will proliferate

This forum had been a lot of changes since it was published in public last 2013 and they indeed made some adjustments on how members will push their ranks into higher level.
The Merit system is until now a debate if it's effective or not, most of new members are indeed affected especially English isn't the native language of the most members in this forum.
I just fount it a good purpose to push rank when they deserve. I mean, meaningful replies, comments and posts will do have a good chances to step up UT otherwise most members will be stuck in their current rank since early January after the birth of Merit system.
Anyway, you could find some answer to this thread when you bump on Meta Section in this forum.
Read them and learn from them and don't bother to act non sense activities so that you'll not being awarded a red ribbon on your profile like me.
Good luck.

I hardly doubt the merit system will be removed from BitcoinTalk. I guess we all have to start making guides and tutorials in order to get a higher rank.
The norms of this forum will change know the merits system is going on, you can only upgrade your rank if you have required merits for that level which you can obtain from any other Sr. Member and above rank Member like your posts and rewarded you with some merits.

This formula is now changed and now you can only upgrade to next level if you have required merits for that level which you can obtain from your writings if someone like your post and give you some merit. You need to have enough activity and merit to rank up .

When I registrated it was only need activity for changing ranks (28 posts every 2 weeks). Now you need also merits from other participants. They can give it to you if you make useful posts.
It`s was 14 activity maximum every 2 weeks, if you are active and that means 2 comments minimum every day, 5 comments every day for 6 days. People were selling some profiles with a lot of comments, you could buy and wait certain time to pass and you would become higher rank, now that can`t happen.Merit system changed all, now people have trouble to get to higher ranks. I don`t think that merit is the perfect system, but it is what it is. Now people advance to next rank slower and if you want to advance to next rank you really need to make huge effort and to be unique in some way, only like that you can draw some attention and get some merit.
Truly the number of the posts you made determine your rank but recently, the rule has been changed from the way it is before, now it based on the new implementation which is merit system, I.e the number of merits you have and you can get "merit" by making a very high quality post.

To rank in this forum nowadays is very hard. This is because of the implementation of the merit system and we cannot do anything about it. To rank up you need to consider two factors: activity and merit. Both of which are hard to earn because when you talk about activity, it is time based and it depends in the time duration since you created your BCT account. Merit on the other hand, requires quality posting which this forum truly lacks and remember that your posts is what makes this forum. Keep in mind that you will not rank up even though you have reached the required number of activities because you also need to reach the number of acquired merit. That is all and goodluck in ranking up!

activity is not his only one to increase the current rankings. there is a new system that requires getting merit so you can raise your rank. quite difficult, until now I did not get any merit. but I'm not worried I'm still trying to get it

Need activity and merit to upgrade Bitcointalk rank,
Here is details,
Rank Required activity Required merit
Brand new 0 0
Newbie 1 0
Jr Member 30 0
Member 60 10
Full Member 120 100
Sr. Member 240 250
Hero Member 480 500
Now, this forum maintain it. Suppose you have 30 activity of your forum id, then no need merit to upgrade rank.
But if you gained 60 activity, then need 10 merit for getting rank higher.
ranking on the account bitcointalk to ride is determined by how much of our activity and there are already minimum requirement if you want can take rank, besides merit also very influential in the rise in rank on this account.
Without having enough merits points those activity are useless after all. Merits will the primary reason for an account to rank up. There will some a time when forum users will have so much activity and will still be on the same rank as they were when the merit system was introduce.
