29 posts in total and 2 merits and you ain't taking it as something encouraging? Maybe you have to do your research and see some profiles in the forum with higher posts counts and are yet to earn a merit from any member. Try to see how you get better with your post quality instead of making complains because am not sure merits are earned on emotions.
I advise you study how those that earns regular merits do it, and why they earned in by just a comment they make in your op post when the op itself didn't get any. Importantly, just to correct an impression, you don't get sure of earning a merit by creating an op, comments too can earn you one if it's of quality.
And what's this tantrum about not earning merit from your op...? Are you creating post with the first intent to earn merit or to share
and discuss knowledge and informations? Huh!
Topic: The scramble for merits - page 2. (Read 212 times)
Well this is common in this forum, is never easy to gain merit and I believe as time goes it may become more difficult for one to be able to build his account. But one thing you need to know despite that they are folks that are still going to grow , ask me why? Because they focus on the part most newbies do neglect which will literally help them grow their account. Which is the knowledge part .
Having good knowledge about this space , will enable one to be able to contribute to this forum and same time impact on others , and they will be appreciated with merit. Once you remove your mind from it (merit mostly cime when you least expect it), you will be able to grow and merit will start coming in . The reason why most time it is very hard to gain merit is that most users do abuse it by merit farming and other stuff.
So stick with the rule and always do the right thing and you will get rewarded with merit that's all .

Not all old timers though!
> The struggle to make a merit worthy topic seems difficult, and discouraging, like for example a newbie carefully comes up with a good topic, no merits! Lots of replies , then somewhere under the replies some members merit replies, still the main topic started isn't merited 💔.
It's somewhat discouraging.
If you think a topic is merit worthy and you're able to give merits, do so to encourage others.

One thing i will advise for you to know about the merit system of this forum is that it is not moderated and that does not give room for abuse on it use, another thing you may also know is that merits are given base on individuals discretion towards the particular post they encountered and see that its merit deserving, you cant solicit for merit, though there are merit application threads with their requirements, but everyone make decision on how to use his own earned merits.

BABA no reason am, continue making your quality post and you will earn merit, if someone merits a comment under your post, it doesn't mean that you didn't make sense as OP, it simply means that person's might have made some clarification that suits the mindset of the person that gave the merit, so you shouldn't be discouraged because of that. Not all old timers though!

I will advise you continue making your quality post without the mindset of wanting to receive merit because you feel the post is worth meritable, you might be disappointed. sometimes is not the post that you think will give you merit, that you will receive merit from, it maybe something you less expected, so be open-minded when making post.
When you're focusing on merit it's hard to see the limited quality of your post, sometimes the best thing is to go through your post yourself and see if they're actually merit worthy, this is something I do to improve myself though not ignoring the overall importance of learning and researching in order to improve yourself and not just to rank up.
I just went to your post history, I see you're a trader and you do make post related to that area though I think you can do better in improving it and also see that majority of us here are HODLers from the fact that we have had bad experience with trading and now decided to stick with the less risky and more profitable with time, which is HODLing.
Going through your post I will advise you try to work on your post structure like using, symbols like > and * seems unprofessional especially *, which you did use for listing whereas the forum as a good listing style format
Don't feel down critics makes us stronger here is something that would help Ranking up is possible! 2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!My 11 Hints!

Ahahaha Lolz 🤣🤣🤣. Op welcome to Bitcointalk. Well that has been on ground since and not a new thing in the forum and not only in this local board but na general issue. Dis has made Igebotz to create a thread in Meta sometimes ago. And he was complaining about why Legendary Members share merits among themselves and not to newbies. And since he was not a merit source, and dey was no merit for him to give them and I think this also compelled him to create the merit source application. And with di grace of God he is a merit source now. And di local users dey get merits from him. Op if you see any topic wey you know say na good quality then submit am to Igebotz thread in local board and if na general board, submit am to LoyceV [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source and also in the local board by Igebotz [Request] Report Unmerited Good Posts Here.
And another thing you have to do is to read more than posting. So that you will know more things in the forum. As I said if you know any quality posts be a comment or thread, submit them on those people's links wey I drop plus your own if you have any quality topic submit am.
And you know why people dey used your thread dey get merits because dem dey tell you (teach u) di correct thing and that one na be the main reason of the forum. You come here to learn and those wey don k ow am go teach/tell you and when you know, you too go teach others den merit go still come for your own too. No vex for now. Na so e bi for everyone.
