And for BTCforJoe . Thanks mate for your information about duolingo.com.

Hey @Indohunter, enjoy the merit! I remember you! You deserve it, as you've shown that you are wiling to put in the time and effort in order to improve your skills. That's a whole lot better than 95% of the third world posters that I encounter on the forums, and it's great to see that you're showing such a great desire to learn.

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to take your statement and break it down for you line by line to show you what I consider to be proper English:


I wanted to tell you about my wife and children and how we spent our weekend, but it's impossible. Why? Because I'm not married yet.


Normally, I spend my weekend doing something fun, like playing music with my friends. When I was 16, my school friends and I formed a band called LAKEPRI BAND, but unfortunately, it didn't last.


Currently, what I do most on the weekend is walk around in search for a partner. I find this to be very important, because as a 25-year old single male, it's common to hear the question "When are you going to get married?" in Indonesia. It's horrible to continue to get older without finding a partner.

Maybe someone else can take over the second part. I just wanted you to have a reference to see how someone that speaks English as a first language (me) would have posted what you did.

Keep up the great work, and feel free to ask questions; we're here for you as long as we know you're trying

So many members in the forum, especially low ranked ones, tend to intentionally abuse Sir. as hilarious efforts to kiss asses of higher ranked users in order to earn merits. Of course, they tried to do non-sense, stupid things. Most of them come from the third world. It is not shame about wherever you born, but they should improve their English skills and should not overuser the word.
Overusing make their threads like a pseudo respect.
Additionally, they don't know that simply adding Sir. Into their threads will not increase threads' quality at any extent.

10 for you fella, keep working at learning English buddy, It will benefit you IRL more than here!
well done bud

Hi everyone,

good day. hope you guys doing well everywhere you are.
Two weeks ago I've replied in this Tman's thread.
And unfortunately I've made mistake here, the issue is because I'm poor in English. To see full conversation you can go here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32995813 . And then Tman's give me a chance to improve my english by following his guides and do not make any posts on my account during learning. And also I'm learning how to create a decent post by reading and study on the post from higher rank members..
and now I'll try my best after two weeks learning on youtube and duolingo.com and other mediums. Honestly, i'm still not confidence about my english, but I'll try. And really appreciate to all of you who want to correct me when you see any mistake on this reply.

well, I'm indohunter, 26 years old. I'm from Indonesia.
I wanted to tell you about my children and wife, and how we spent our weekend. But it's impossible. Why? because i'm not married yet. 
Normally, I spend my weekend by doing something fun. Like playing music with my friends. When i was 16, me and my friends on my school build a group band, we named it LAKEPRI BAND, but we fail to keep it. Music already ingrained on me. But the important thing that i'm doing on the weekend is walking around and finding a mate. hehe
hey, surely. it's an important thing that i need since my age are getting older and still single. In Indonesia when you were above 25 ya and still not get married, people around you will ask "when did you get married?" it's horror, man.

The first time I know about the cryptocurrencies is from my facebook's friend. Everyday i found he share about crypto on his timeline, and then I ask him all the informations about cryptocurencies and how its works. And finally, now I'm here. Honestly, before, my goal when I create this account on bitcointalk just for hunting crypto bounty. I wasted my time just to hunting and hunting, not paying attention on the forum rules and it makes me became a shitposter. And finally i realized this forum not only for bounties hunting. We can sharing here, we can learning how to improve our knowledge about crypto which is will affected to our income on this world of cryptocurencies. And also I've just realized that the strict rules on this forum is the way to make members can create a decent post and have useful information  (how to say this one). I hope you guys got my point.

the last but not least I would like to say this learning would not stopped at this time. I still need to learning a lot on english since this forum is an English-forum.


Cheers,

Indohunter

Here you go senpai ! Here's my Infographics for "TMAN'S Guide To Getting Merit". Hope you like it  

Infographics will hurt my fingers, lol. Please don't send them merits and promote them to overuse infographics. Please, Sir TMAN (just kidding because I love the idea of Theymos on Politeness point).

I agree with you , I think nothing the cheapest for a quality !
and infographic of the guide to getting merit, please check https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29880354

Just include a 3rd world poster in infographic and TMAN would really love it. it could be your last chance to receive some merit don't waste the time create that clean infographic now.

if anyone wants to do a fancy infographic of the guide to getting merit I will lay some merit on them

Thanks for this summary.

I have seen a lot of Chinese, Russish developers, coders who don't speak English at all and use google translator to communicate. I have actually worked with.

English is not my native language but I have barely few times posted in my local subforum. I am posting 90% in English but sometimes I read local boards and I have seen a lot of posts from scared people. They were always active only on local boards because of bad English skills. Now they don't see any other way to rank up as to learn English and for some of them, this is just not possible even in few years time. So this 3 weeks on youtube must be a joke.

It still is. Its privately owned and its major members are English speaking or at least can write English in such a way that others can comprehend it.

Yeah writing frequently to rank up - gone are those days. Time for you all to move on and get a proper life.

A good command on English is required to in such fields. I dont know who you are referring to but more developers I have seen have decent control of their English.

Its not possible for learn a language in that limited time frame - dont know about IQ status of the learner though. It was in all probability a joke, unless you spend several months on it.

Local communities can have merit sources. This was clearly said by theymos in his post about merit system announcement. Decide among yourselves whom you think is worthy and passes the requirements of being a merit source and ask them to post an application accordingly. Its all here in Meta, maybe you missed it.

I was always sure that Bitcointalk is a multilanguage forum for cryptocurrencies fans and supporters.

Sooner it was enough to write frequently in your local subforum to rank up.

I know many very knowledgeable people here on the forum and they don't speak English at all. These people are coders, developers, etc.

OP says that they can learn English in 3 weeks from YouTube   to start posting again on BTT and to finally rank up when they gain enough merits. I think this was a joke with this youtube learning OP or April fools?

We all know that if you don't have friends in your local boards and don't speak very good English you can just forget to rank up. There is no chance left for these people who don't speak English, don't have writing skills or aren't enough knowledgeable.

I used to despise the 3rd world shit posters, and for the most part, I still do. But just a reminder that the economic demographic of why Bitcoin was invented is to be able to empower those very 3rd world users the courtesy of a p2p trustless currency, which is everything that Bitcoin stands for.

While I do agree that many of those members are bad and contribute a bunch of spam and nonsense to the forums, I have to say that not all of them are bad. I run a challenge that encourages users to improve the quality of their posts and avoid shitty sig campaigns, and much to my surprise, I have seen the quality of posts from these very types of members improve, week in and week out.

That being said, it just goes to show that thoughtful posts with advice for these posters do, in fact, work, no matter how minuscule the effectiveness.

I gave you another merit for editing your post, rather than spamming the thread with another post, which I have just done of course.

I must be going soft.

I think this is more effort than most of the 3rd world shit sub posters will ever dedicate to anything. The advice itself is spot on, but if they were willing to do anything that actually took effort then they wouldn't sell their souls for penny bounty campaigns. Just my 2 cents...

Edit - Woohoo my first Merit Point thanks Jet!

Sound advice, but I doubt majority of the newbie and lower ranking members will have the 2-3 year patience you are talking about. Besides crypto and blockchain is a hot topic now, they need to get into the action ASAP, that's why all the desperation we've seen in the Meta section since the Merit system was introduced. Personally if mostly people do this to get into Sig campaigns, it is worth noting and advising them that Sig Campaigns have reduced a lot over the last couple of months, and also there are other plenty ways of earning money on this forum (my advise to newbies). That being said, if English is not most people's first language, then it's unfair to "punish" (for lack of a better word) them. We as a community on this forum should help the other language sections gain the same "market section" opportunities in their language. After all, we are one global community.
