Topic: TMAN'S guide to getting merit. - page 10. (Read 18033 times)

Give it some time and efforts will be appreciated fella, whilst all this backlash is going on the 3rd world spammers won't listen. When they finally realise merit is here to stay they will finally get in line

I was saddened by the fact that my english language thread was taken over by non-english posters giving advice, and people spamming web services. My idea was for a series of public inter-personal discussions, and I thought this would be useful as examples for many members who are actively improving their English. I still think this idea would be useful, and I hope that someone will start a similar thread in the future. It won't be me though.

This guide looks great for people who are struggling with English language. But some English people, though they are good in their language struggle to receive merits. These guys blame the system as faulty. Some points which could be added to the guide so that English language posters too could receive merit.

1. Post your comments for 0 reply topics. Though it may be a spam board such as Bitcoin Discussion or Altcoin Discussion you would get noted for your sensible comments by other higher ranked members. Even though you have posted high quality post in any of these spam boards and you have not been merited, post your reply for a review in "smerit post review" by bill gator or any other members doing such a service. Never reply to a 500+ or 1000+ topic as it could waste your time.

2. Read a lot in Technical Discussion, and if you feel like replying to a thread there, just do some research on the topic and post your reply. I have seen so many people who got merited to their useful posts.

3. Altcoin Discussion is the grey area where lots and lots of spams are generated for signature campaigns. There are hell a lot of technical topics out there in Altcoin Discussion which were never replied as they were easily buried in spam. It could have been started by a senior guy who has no knowledge in Blockchain or any altcoins seeking for some simple answers. If he gets pleased by your answer, he would merit you. And such kind of simple reply topics will never be answered as they will easily be swallowed in spam boards.

4. If you are member or lower rank, never try to join in Bitcoin Campaigns. Campaigns which are giving out payments in Btc demand a minimum of 25 posts to be posted in various boards. 25 posts in a span of 7 weeks is really difficult for you lower ranked guys which would result in the generation of spam replies. Higher ranked members are really good for their wit and humor and even a one liner reply of them would be really good to be merited. Altcoin Campaigns just demand only 10 posts/week which would be quite enough for us to write at least 5 quality posts per week which could earn a minimum merit of at least 3.

Hope these points would help at least a single member to gain a minimum of 2-3 merits. Please don't accuse me for writing long posts.

Cheers klaaas.. keep the ideas coming guys then the people struggling cannot moan

Nice going TMAN.

after the English lessons... https://www.efset.org/free-english-test/

No one is here to hold the hands of members who won't take the time to properly learn English in order to post on an English-speaking forum. If you don't have the basic knowledge or capability of learning how to use Google to find what you're searching for, then you don't belong on the forums in the first place.

Not only did you include the entire quoted post of the OP, you obviously didn't read it. You addressed TMAN as "sir", which he highly frowns upon. It's also in the very third sentence of his post. You are a classic example of the type of user he is recommending not to be. Quoting a post to make your post appear longer is not fooling anyone, and you shouldn't do it. You stated that you learned something new by reading his post, but you obviously did not, as your entire post is not constructive or contributive to the topic. In fact, if your post wasn't posted at all, it would have absolutely no effect on the direction of this thread (except for my obvious reply to you).

Ironically, the two posts directly after yours were nothing but shit

Thanks to this useful guide, I surely do this from now and then. I am using Duolingo already to learn other language and I'm gonna add English course. You are enjoying and learning at the same time, and of course I do give much time now reading here in forum.

Alternatively, the subject of this thread could be "TMAN'S guide to not making shitty posts"

I think you should suggest books to read, If a non-english speaker went to read huckleberry fin, or the original treasure island I think that would be counter productive.

I don't understand how you can suggest reading books if you don't understand the language how is it supposed to help 

You think I could just pick up a book in spanish and read it and better understand it?

Did you even read the OP here?

Quoting long posts, or great hierarchies of posts, is one of the reasons I put people on ignore. If a poster is on ignore, then his thread can't be seen, and so he can't get any merit.

I've started to use a meow ( >..< ) to replace a complete 'quote' if I want to reply within a few posts of the original.

Improving English and knowledge about cryptocurrency will take a lot of time but as I can see almost members are trying to earn money asap in here that why they don't choose this long term way, they cheated merit system to get to higher rank )). Unfortunately, a lot of cheaters got caught by DT member )). Poor lazy guys

Please learn how to clip quotes. You’re a Sr. Member, which means you should know not to create big ol’ walls of text. You’ll rarely get merited for posts that quote entire original posts... also, just because you make a long post doesn’t mean that it’s a good post. Given your post history, you seem to think so. This is just me being over critical; feel free to ignore me if you like. You’re hardly part of the overall problem that TMAN is trying to address with this post.

Anyone suggesting trading to noobs is retarded. Just buy btc and save it

Nice guide pumpkin, I must have become bumpkin after strolling in Philippine.

However this place is much more home than a country just like oneself take granted what is really given.
it is up to a persons decision whether s/he needs bettering him/herself.
 

I'll second that advice. Remember, you start off at a disadvantage because of the spread. 'The spread' is the difference between the buying and the selling price, and it is the profit made by the exchange, and their safeguard against losses. In times of high volatility, the spread will be wider. So how does this affect you as a trader? If you buy coins, and then sell them immediately, then you will lose the spread. You do not make any profit until the price has moved enough to cover the loss from the spread. If the price goes against you, then the spread is added to your losses.

I know about arbitrage, but I think that is outside the scope of this thread.

Sorry to derail this thread momentarily, but I need to address this statement. Be careful. You're not a financial advisor, so please don't act like one. Trading crypto is not the best solution for earning, especially when most newbies will have no idea what to research. This forum alone isn't nearly enough to arm someone with the tools to become profitable at trading, so please be careful with giving this type of advice, as it's never as sure of a thing as your post made it sound.
