The Naija & BSFL Sherrif 📛

Strange not to see my name on the September list; I made the list for the first time in August and was overjoyed to have assisted two newbies on their way to the top. I know my bag was pretty empty last month, but I believe the main reason is that I rarely see quality newbies on the boards I regularly post (Meta, Reputation, Scam accusations, Gambling discussion, and local); perhaps I'll visit the B & H board more frequently now. @Ratimov, it's nice to see you at the top of the rankings in August and September, with your fellow Russian merits source making their way in as well, expanding your source merits from the Russian board to the rest of the forum. Rati, you're doing a fantastic job.

Quote from: ?? on ??

I hope those newbies whom I have helped over the past 2 months will be better than the previous ones, where many were banned for plagiarism and they were part of a large farm.

You simply did what you were meant to do and what was right; what they become after that is their problem, not yours. Don't allow what they become discourage you from doing what you love.

I have updated the table and chart on the front page of this thread.

Since the day the enhanced restrictions and requirements for newbies were introduced on the forum, 4,731 members have supported 18,083 newcomers.

I also published statistics for October and September 2021. Ratimov is the leader of this TOP-200 in both months. It looks like he will soon gain first place on the main list. Cool

Both Bitcoin and Bitcointalk can't grow without new users!

These are golden words. I daresay Bitcointalk is the best place to discuss Bitcoin. Smart and intelligent newcomers should always be welcomed into the community.

This is a feature of Coin-1's statistics;

I have also been in Legendary status for a long time. He, apparently, forms statuses not in fact, but according to the number of merits earned.

Ratimov is right. Since user activity is a volatile characteristic that may even diminish due to the deletion of posts, I added the following note when creating this thread in September 2018:

^[1] - the rank that is based on the merit amount regardless of current activity

So if i give a merit to a newbie who have already one merit, giving him merit won't be counted to be eligible to be in the part of this list ?
He or she should have 0 merits Roll Eyes

Yes. You must be the user who will send the newbie his first merit, this will be your help for the newbie. The newbie you want to help must have 0 merit.

Ratimov is right again. This algorithm takes in consideration only the first merit received by the newbie. It ignores other merits.

The forum really gives novices a lot of tolerance. I am a new member of the forum, but I see that many forum members are helping newbies. A lot of knowledge introductions and posts to help newbies. As someone who is new to Bitcoin, it is really lucky to have such a knowledge library.

Just for my understanding, the last 200th User in the list gave 10 Merits to 10 different Newbies or they can give a total of 10 merits to newbies (even 1 or 2 newbies ) ?

The number of different newbies is indicated, not the number of merit sent to the newbies. In order to get into the table, you need at least send at least 1 merit to 10-11 different users who do not have a merit.

So if i give a merit to a newbie who have already one merit, giving him merit won't be counted to be eligible to be in the part of this list ?

He or she should have 0 merits Roll Eyes

If i give 11 merits to the quality posts made by Newbie, i will be in that Top 200 list ?

You can. See my post here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49854683

For example, this link - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;boards=1,74,77,86,6,37,98,100,138,97,231,261,14,40,41,42,76,137,81,4,12;patrol - will show you all recent newbie posts from the boards in the "Bitcoin" section only.

You can also use this link to see newbie posts from all boards, but with bounty posts excluded: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=recent;patrol;nobounty

Ah perfect. I thought I remembered vaguely doing it before, but I assumed I just ignored a few sections, but didn't bother testing it recently. That'll be perfect for moderation as well as meriting new users. Making sure I make a note this time.

I mean, I've literally just used the link, and it has already brought attention a few users spamming. Cheers for the reminder, that'll increase my efficiency ten fold.

I often Merit users who don't post again after their first post. They come here to solve a problem, and after they're done, they don't need the forum anymore. Those aren't the best users for the future of the forum, but they are genuine (Bitcoin) users.

Yeah, this seems pretty common. They probably don't even understand the merit system, but I still think meriting these types of posts might actually encourage new users to stick around. At least, I'm hoping so. Though, I think most of my newbie merits are the types which come ask a question, and then leave indefinitely.

I wish somehow I was able to filter the patrol page, to avoid certain sections temporarily so I could look for newbie posts which aren't bounty reports etc. That would likely increase my merit distribution to newbie accounts significantly.

The problem (that I've ranted about ad nauseam) is that most Newbies just don't make good posts or, as I said, I'm reading threads in sections where newcomers are just posting crap.

Obviously don't Merit those Tongue

I often Merit users who don't post again after their first post. They come here to solve a problem, and after they're done, they don't need the forum anymore. Those aren't the best users for the future of the forum, but they are genuine (Bitcoin) users.

I certainly do want to help lower-ranked members, but I've had the opinion for a long time that most new members are here just to make money, so they're not putting in a lot of effort when they write--and it shows.

Usually I can guess their motives from their posts. And as long as I'm not too high on the Top senders to permabanned users list, I'm not worried.

Might I suggest changing this? My reasoning for Meriting Newbies is quite simple: the Merit system was introduced to stop spammers. If a Newbie isn't a spammer, he shouldn't be restricted by the Merit system. That means my "standards" for Newbies are lower than for others.
Both Bitcoin and Bitcointalk can't grow without new users!

Besides, holding newbies who are new not only the forum, but quite possibly Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general to the standards of others users is a little unrealistic. Plus, I believe progression is a big motivator, hence why we track progress in most industries. If they are receiving merit, they'll get the bug, and want to earn more, which will likely encourage better quality posts.

It's partly the reason we have a lot of merit sources, so that the distribution of merit is varied. It's good to some extent to have different standards, and different merit habits. Though, I'm not actually bothered if I believe a user is posting simply because they want to rank up, and eventually earn. We all want to make money to a certain extent, it is whether or not that post is detrimental to the forum, obviously if it is its likely to fall into the scope of moderation, but if not then merit takes care of that grey area. However, if they are contributing good content, I don't care what their motivation is in posting. Good content to me is good content.

Somehow I think my standards for meriting newcomers are higher than for other ranks

You absolutely may, and I respect your opinion--but I'm not sure if I'm willing to lower my standards or not. I will think about it, though.

I wasted a lot of time. About 1 hour a day.

It's not "wasted" if it's put to good use Wink

Meriting 200+ Newbies is just impressive!

Ratimov became the leader of this TOP-200. In July 2021, he even supported over 200 (!) newbies. Amazing result! Cool

Damn, that's a lot of merits being given to Newbies. Somehow I think my standards for meriting newcomers are higher than for other ranks (and I guess that's backed up by my merit-giving history). Or maybe I'm just not seeing the good posts being made by them in sections I have ignored.

But hey, I made it to #20 this month, which is an improvement. Once again I could have sworn I merited more Newbies than that, but I trust your data, Coin-1. I'm going to try to get better, though I think this month will probably be a lousy one as far as this particular metric is concerned, as I'm not off to a good start.

Another two months have passed, so I again actualized the master list on the main page of this thread.

I looked at the graph and noticed that not many newcomers were supported in June 2021, but in July 2021, after adding 14 new merit sources, a lot of newbies received their first merits and the chart line went up.

Thus, since September 17, 2018, 15181 non-banned newcomers have received at least one merit.

I also published monthly statistics for two months at the same time. Ratimov became the leader of this TOP-200. In July 2021, he even supported over 200 (!) newbies. Amazing result! Cool

For the month of June, I'm pretty sure I've already merited at least three newbies, so it'll be interesting to see what the stats show next time they're posted.

The stats show that in June 2021, you merited not 3, but 7 newcomers.

As always, thank you to OP for keeping this list updated. It's one of the ones I pay most attention to, because Newbies and Jr. Members are the ones I try to help the most. It isn't always easy, given how much garbage those ranks tend to collectively write, but sometimes I do find some gems that deserve merits.

Yeah, finding these gems among tons of rubbish can even be considered work. Thanks a lot for the newbie support! Cool
