Topic: Self made Hero Member now marching on to rank up as Legendary member!!! - page 2. (Read 1056 times)

Finally I’m close to becoming a Hero Member at Bitcointalk, and I felt it was about time I spoke about my journey and answer the question did merits do more harm or good.

To be frank I was only days away from being ranked to a Hero Member, and suddenly merits system was announced and on the first look i was angry at it because I thought i would never be able to rank up here. After a few hours I got over my anger and again read @Theymos post and keenly read the discussion that followed and suddenly it struck me it ain’t that bad as I had thought it would be.

In order to rank I began looking around this forum for guides written by other members, who were collecting merits with ease and most of them had one common point don’t write a post to earn merits, write it because it’s helpful and it should make sense to all those who read it. I’m also thankful for my managers past and current who have taken time out of their schedule and helps me with valuable tips. One tip I would like to share is choose one or two topic boards you’re passionate about, and then continue focusing on those topic boards, once people see your posts is knowledgeable merits shall follow.

At the start of this year I was hoping to become a Hero Member by this year’s end, and I have covered certain distance in my journey and now I feel I can achieve my goal of becoming a Hero Member very soon.

Last but not the least I feel the merit system has done more good than we all thought it could do, yes I know I’m yet not able to rank up and I’m saying this but people on this forum often forget the forum is bigger than the Individual. If anyone else is stuck just don’t give up, just focus on the basics, and keep posting constructive posts you too shall rank up cheers!!!.

Great post,  many young forum users should read it.
It is very easy to complain about injustice in this forum and be negative.
You have taken a different, constructive approach and I congratulate you on that.
It's always better to focus on the things we can do than feel hopeless and simple give up.
I hope that your example will be inspiration for others.
I hope you will soon become not only Hero but Legendary.

Here's a challenge, putting into considering you achieve 470 before the 20-25th of December, you get a 50 30 merit boost from me or any remaining amount you will need to reach the 500 merit milestone, just have to reduce the amount (to prevent you going into a relaxation mode) since TMAN has already promised a 50 boost.

Merit wasn't meant to hinder any quality contributors chances of ranking up. Just keep putting in work, you meant even achieve this without needing my assistance.

What we have to do is effort and effort, merit is not an obstacle to move up to the next rank but it is an the reward must/ not be given to those who deserve it based on their efforts and consistency to contribute to the forum.

If Puggy joins my club, it should be the 250+ club rather than the 500+ club. See you there, @Puggy.

See you on 500+ club credit: Tranthidung

i'm out of source and S merits now - you got my last, Drop me a PM on the 15th of December when I am topped up and ill drop you 50 more fella.

1 month left is 2020. I think if you can reach 100 merit in 1 month this is will be great work.
Just never give up to reach your rank to Hero Member.

It will be difficult to reach Hero Member rank before 2020. Unless TMAN, suchmoon or theymos will drop you 50 merits each . Anyway, I think it's only matter of time when you will reach your goal. And I believe that it eill happen soon because you're really good poster.
I don't want to repeat myself, but I been in similar situation like you. If merit system would be released week or two later, I would be Legendary now. But being Hero Member doesn't makes difference from Legendary. And I'm Sr. Member according my earned merits. And it would be amazing if I will reach Legendary rank in 2020.

Snip

Someone says it impossible to you get 110 merit. Don't believe them.

@masulum that would be a dream come true if these members gave me so many merits lol, and even if I could get a single merit from @Theymos I would consider it as one my life’s biggest accomplishment. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to join that elite club, and thank you all for your positive words and inputs.

Maybe Theymos giving you 50 merit, TMAN giving you 50 merit and Suchmoon give you 50 merit too, it's not a joke, you can reach it some day. Remember about 10th anniversary contest, from that, someone can get 200+ merit on their post. Good luck bro.. See you on 500+ club credit: Tranthidung
