@JayJuanGee
Any smart advices you have for me?
Fell free to inspect my profile.
I try to contribute Bitcointalk as much as I can, and as time allows it.
Thanks in advance
Surely there are guys here (and perhaps a gal or two, too) who are much more capable and talented than me to provide an assessment of your post history, and there are going to be a lot of personal variation too, including if you are inclined to post in languages other than English.
Sometimes posting in languages, other than English could be a useful service, but there might not be as high of a ratio of members in those sections who have a sufficient number of smerits that they can spend.
By the way, like I tried to say in my earlier post, you are not really limited in your ability to post good content or to even receive a lot of informational value from the forum in terms of the number of merits that you have, but I suppose the number of merits could be ways to benefit in terms of lording over status or even some abilities to financially benefit.
On a personal basis, I don't really ascribe a lot of self assessment based on my receiving smerits, but there is a kind of appreciation that is felt when other members send merits, even if I don't necessarily feel worth of merits in some of my posts... so the whole smerit system is a little bit of a weird dynamic that does seem to, at least, make the forum a bit better as a kind of tool to weed out some of the abilities of spam and shit posters to farm accounts and takes away some incentives to benefit from mere quantity of posts versus causing incentives to improve post quality... which any longer term member is going to appreciate when s/he has to sort through less bullshit in order to find guys (and the occasional gal or two...
kind of an inside joke 
) posting content that is genuine and/or from thought through personal experiences.
Likely, I did not find your posts too repugnant because a bit over a week ago, I sent one of your posts an smerit, and that was as a result of a post in which you had pointed out some of your historical contributions to the forum, a way of seeking merit(s).
Possibly, I would not have come across your posts otherwise, because it does look like you have historically spent a decent amount of time in the bounty hunting section and also just in various altcoin sections, and those areas of the forum that are not of much interest to me and likely not too many members with smerits are going to be hanging out in those sections of the forum or wanting to spend their merits regarding those kinds of begging topics.
The suggestions that I gave to Decimation, above, were somewhat generic which means that those kinds of suggestions should be applicable to anyone, and in sum if you post in areas that are of interest to you, and you provide substantive insight regarding real issues - rather than pumping bullshit ICOs or alts, then you are more likely to build credibility over time which will likely inspire other members (including members with smerits that they can spend) to appreciate your contributions.... and get to know you, as a poster, too.
Actually, I have one more personal bias that seems to be shared by a decent number of members here, but if you spend a considerable amount of time focusing your attention on bitcoin, attempting to learn about bitcoin, looking through the whole space with bitcoin being the main game in town while other projects are frequently distinguishably less valuable than bitcoin while they are engaging in attempts to denigrate bitcoin to pump their own.. and frequently a lot of smoke and mirrors there, then you are likely going to get a decently long way to improving your own understanding of the space which will likely filter down to your getting more credibility and the respect of other forum members. Don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting that there is completely no value that comes from altcoins, and various scam projects, but I do believe that members who attempt to focus on bitcoin and to take altcoin, ICOs, bounties or whatever with a BIG ASS grain of salt are going to more likely personally profit from their abilities to attempt to focus in that kind of way.
i’m actually hoping it’s more than 30. It seems we need more... decent poster and as well merit circulation in our local board.
