I really don't understand any of this....

Please can some one explain it more...
Cos this newbie tag on my profile got me depressed... Have been here for a year plus

The question is how many periods did you post in? Age of account is largely irrelevant if you didn't post at least once during each period. There's a guide all about activity and ranks that should answer all your questions:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177

These questions used to get asked almost daily in meta but yours is the first I've seen in a very long time. I wonder if most are actually reading the faq now.

That's a whole lot.... I will have to read it again to understand the whole merits part... Thanks. For the help

Hi. Im a newbie here. Could someone please tell me more about how to gain merits here. how many posts should I post to move faster up in the ranks? Is there a optimal way to post and where should I post? I enjoy this site because it is very informative with many experts online. How come it isnt more advertised on other social networks. Is there anyone here who has been on for moe than 1 year. If so could you please you please share with us your expereince . I would liek to know about the ups and downs of this site. So that I can leap frog some of the challenges.

The merit system was implemented only a few months back. After becoming Jr. Member you'll need merit points If you want to rank up any further.

If you want to get merits, you'll have to be helpful and hope that someone will read your post and merit you. What I have noticed is that people get more merits in Bitcoin-related sections (Including Beginners & help, Meta etc.) because in alt coin section, It's usually spammers who don't even read posts, so they can't tell whether your post was helpful or not.

You have to make sure you post the once in each two week period to get the full activity points. If your post count is 14 or more higher than your activity then you'll get the full 14 points just for the one post, otherwise it'll move up per post (up to 14). You can collect the full activity points at a later date though as long as you have posted once in thosr two week periods.

Read through this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-definitive-explanation-of-how-activity-works-495948

Thanks so much for this easy explanation, I have been searching for an answer to some questions that I have regarding how the activity works, this thread and your comments are really helpful.

all of the newbies back then now becomes hero or legendary already. I dont know when I will be come full member. I still dont get how the activity is calculated.

At least 1 post per period (look at the 2 previous posts to see when periods start) grants you 14 activity. You can claim these activities by making posts, 1 post = 1 activity.
Now for you, you have activity not yet claimed, you can calculate it easily (how much periods you post on it x 14 = max activity you can claim until the next period).
For example you find 70 activity. Required posts for full member is 120 so 120-70=50 then divide it by 14 and round it by adding 0,x to have something like this 50/14=~4. Conclusion : in this example, you need to wait 4 periods = ~2 months to become Full member considering only 1 parameter which is activity. But in reality you need also MERIT points : 10 to become a member and 100 to become a full member.

thank you very much for your explanation. Last night I was still a newbie, today I am up to Jr member:)
Btw, how to get Merit points? what is it used for?

It is simple, make constructive posts or help others members and people will give you smerit points. For more information, take a look here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350

How does this activity/post thing benefits the forum? Can someone explain?

Your account will level up once you reach a predetermined activity. The activity depends from posts and cannot be more than 14 activities per period of two weeks.
Or else everyone could become a legendary in less than a week!

If you had for example 28 activity and 30 posts, making one post during that period will give you 2 additional points which will result in having 30 activity and not 42. If you had 42 posts or more and you just posted once too, you will gain the whole thing and have 42 activity. Basically, your activity cannot be bigger than your posts count but even in the first scenario, you will have potential activity so these activity points are never lost, you will start gaining them after posting (even If done months later after the activity period) as long as you posted at least once during the activity period.

thanks for the info. in short. i will gain activity after i post but not eveytime.thanks a lot. it was enough clear to me now.

thanks for all those who have explained how activity periods works. for now i just want to clarify if my conclusion is right. in the frst page there has a spread sheet that contains the correct timing of how activity period will start and also end. when your post is qualified for that period you will receive 14 activity. so with in the 14days activity period(2weeks). it does not matter when you post only once or too many. within that period for example. base on the spread sheet activity period start feb 13 19:00 and end in feb 27 19:00 and i post only once. versus. i post too many. is that the same that i will receive 14 activty for that period?. i just want to clarify.

Hello I was hoping someone could help clarify this issue I'm having. I have made 55 posts and I'm having 28 activity prior to now I was having 28 posts 28 activity dunno why I'm stuck on 28 activity my account was registered on the 28th of January can someone help me out with a solution thanks

Your activity level should go up to 42 on Tuesday/Wednesday of next week, since you have more than 42 posts and you made at least one post during this 2 week activity period. The same will be true in the future, as long as you are averaging 1 post per day, you will receive 14 additional activity points, as long as you post at least one time during the previous 2 week activity period.

Okay, thanks for taking out the time to explain things in details much appreciated.
