Topic: TMAN'S guide to getting merit. - page 11. (Read 18033 times)

@Indohunter, you have posted these two posts one after the other, which is against the rules.
Rule No. 32, which says you can't post multiple posts in a row except for the one exclusion that you can read below:


Read complete list of rules once, and don't do these simple mistakes in future. It can cost you more than you might think it does. If you want to reply to more than one posts then you have the option to quote all of them in one post. You can quote as many posts as you want in your post. So you don't need to quote all of them in different posts to reply them. And also, learn to cut off the unnecessary texts when you are quoting a text and only keep the text that you are replying to. It looks messy when you quote all the texts and just write something for only one of them.

Thanks for the useful guide here. I will also like to give one more suggestion to members here. It is good that the forum allows you to make money by participating in signature campaigns and posting quality content here. Thus,  if you have to improve your English for this, you can go for it. But never rely on this income alone. Have multiple sources of income. Best way to use this forum is by learning about crypto investment here and then using those strategies to actually trade crypto. There is huge money to be made there and the bounties are nowhere in comparison to that earnings.

thanks for sending over the merit hunters, you dick.

Just kidding.

Thanks for the kudos and the plug, sir!

I don't mind taking in the bounty and merit hunters. I spend a lot of time critiquing their posts, and I really hope that they do take the criticism well and apply it.

For everyone reading this, TMAN is right. Although I've done it in the past, I rarely merit [non-technical] posts that are poorly constructed. While a lot of people complain that it's not fair that non-native English speakers have a disadvantage here, you have to remember that this forum is an English-speaking forum. No one is forcing them to be here, and there are no "rights" as a member here. Simply stated, you have to adhere to the rules and policies of the forums, not the other way around. Bitcointalk does not have to cater to you. Being here is a privilege, not a right. Same with bounties and campaigns.

So it's only fair that many OG members of the forums here are going to frown upon third-world posters who make very little effort to "fit in". Fitting in is definitely possible, as I have made friends with a few users here that caught me by surprise when I learned that English was not their first language.

With that, moving to and living in a third-world country myself, I have encountered a lot of ESL people. They ask me to help teach them proper English, and for the ones with smart phones and computers, I point them towards duolingo. They make it EXTREMELY easy to start learning English for 5 minutes a day. I think that 5 minutes is a minor investment of time to make in order to brush up your skills.

Give them a shot. It's free.

Thanks for posting this, TMAN.

If you're a person that can give a lot of time to study something then no need to be guided by some one. As long as the rules are stated clearly and it does make sense for every sentences that have been made then there will be no more questioning or even asking that have been answered already.
But pertaining to those people who doesn't have the ability to speak or even understand english fluently then they must be guided to their own local board. There is no excuse for being a lazy person.

This is just bad English and you either use a translate tool or need to take the actions in my op. Your choice but I do not see you ranking up posting like this

@Indohunter, If you tell us more on your alt accounts, we'll help you find the best Bounties, after all bounty hunters are becoming more like male rhinos. I'm lying.

Right do not post for 2 weeks as merit is your issue not activity this will make a huge difference in ranking up. not one post after agreeing to do this. You will then need to agree to watch 14 hours of basic English lessons on YouTube that's an hour a day and come in here and write a decent post. I don't care what it's about it could be your hobby, kids, job or favourite thing to do on a Saturday if you do that I'll give you 10 merits and level you up..

If you can't do it then just say so but think about the difference spending 2 weeks on your English will have and having 10 merits on your account. Is that worth more than the money you get from bounties now?

Not good, from december i remember, my etha adsress still count around $18.
As i said before, i don't have much knowledge here.
And seriously, you ask me i have another account?
My answear is No, you can see and if you found any mistake, just inform me.

Honestly, i'm nit goid enough in english. Thats why i still learning and learn on this forum.
If you see any mistakes on mine, just free to tell me. I'm realy happy to hear any guide from other. 

Out of interest how much do you earn for all this bounty work? Do you have multiple accounts for them?

I'm sorry,
My habit 

Wait, will edit it.

I didn't notice it at 1st clicked his profile and saw some bounty link still there, came back and re read his post and wanted to punch my screen

My first thought was "nice, irony". Then I saw his post history.

You called me fucking sir? Did you even read all of the op?

Well, thank you so much for your sharing.
I'm interested join on Joe's program, but for now the 3rd round already closed.
Additional for me on your sugestion above.


Read the topic carefully before reply on some thread, and study the thread case first. It will useful to make a good post reply and still on the thread topic as well


Anyway, still not get any merit on mine because before I'm only focus for bounty and now I just realized how important merit for my account   But will try to get it even a bit late.
Have a nice day!

Cheers!
Indohunter

Well these are all pretty logical, but for people who can't speak English very well they aren't going to magically improve overnight. It probably takes years to become fluent in English and it's not like they're going to go away and take a course and then come back when they're proficient. As long as they can get paid for their poor one/two liners then they're not going to waste time elsewhere because time is money. The issue is it's clearly people who can't speak English very well forcing themselves to make posts about something they know little to nothing about and that isn't going to magically change anytime soon no matter how much advice people try give them.

Great discussion points here, keep adding to it and I'll update the guide and change it to the merit receivers guide let's make it a piece with lots of input that is bound to work

Very nice tips and guidelines there. I just wanted to add something to that.

I think, beside well-written English, a person needn't to repeat something that has already been said in the discussion. That is one of the biggest things people (newbies, most particularly, but other members too sometimes) do which makes them look too bad IMO. A correct grammar and the fact of being on-topic are not the only things that represent a constructive post, but the post has to be unique in itself. And that is what most of the people lack while trying to post constructively.

Honestly, this is one of the greatest guides to getting merit points I saw. So as I understand, the main problem about getting merits is due to English language. There is a bunch of members of 3rd world countries here in this bitcoin forum, The majority of them are too weak in English, and they usually complain about the merit system as they can't get any of them. Some of them are good in English, Even if they write long posts they don't deserve any points, the problem is they never use the right words in their posts.

From what I think, To get merit points:

First, You should improve your English.
Second, Improve your knowledge about cryptocurrencies field.
Third, Improve yourself and create the Buzz here.
Finally, I am sure if anyone follows these steps will get a lot of merit points from now on.
