Topic: well thats aren't far from the truth - page 2. (Read 454 times)

I believe the system is just perfect the way it is; the merit system was not created to favor anyone, but anyone who drops posts that are quality enough to receive merit will definitely get that as a reward. And with you making 24 posts since your registration and no merit yet, it should at least teach you something, which is that you should work a little on your post quality, and you will definitely get those merits you are searching for.
 
I will advise you to just devote your time to building yourself and learning properly from the forum, and in due time, before you realize it, you will notice that merit will start flowing on your posts and comments without you even requesting it. Everyone has different ways of judging post quality and if they meet their requirements for it to be merited.

But having this kind of mindset that merit is low only with the higher-ranking members might kill your desire to even push further, and posts like this one might likely put you on many users ignore lists, reducing your chances of getting merit when you make quality posts.

You're saying that in order to get 1 merit, you need to post 20 posts? That's your suggestion?

How about those newbies out there who are posting only Proof of Authentication in their bounty campaigns that they're participating? You are saying that they will just rank up somewhere in the future just because they are posting more than 20 posts per week with some Facebook, Twitter and other social media links? I mean that's unfair to the other users out there who are trying to make some quality, and constructive post just to have a chance to get merits. It's unfair right?

TBH, I don't know what's the other way for newbies to gain merit aside from making some quality posts out there.

I will not attack you, but can I ask you a question. What is your purpose in joining the forum in the first place? Because if you're just here for knowledge, rank doesn't matter TBH. If you're here because you heard from some stranger out there that you can earn money here (but you must have a high rank), then rank matters to you.

Most of your topics is only asking other user. I doubt your post helps other user but rather those who answer your topic is the one made a useful reply for others. If you want to get merit, be the guy who answer questions and not the guy who’s consistently asking for help.


You should make this thread a self moderated if you want to filter all the post here according to your preference.

What you propose would completely nullify the existence of the merit system, returning us to the time when for a higher rank it was only necessary to be active and write any posts. If for 20 posts of poor quality you get 1 merit, for 50 you get 2 merits and so on, where does it end?

The merits system exists precisely to prevent shitposters and account farmers from doing what they did before that system existed.

I suggest that you read the forum rules before you start giving advice, because you have already broken one rule.

Let's be honest with ourselves as newbies, I don't see it that way, if you deserve to get merit on any post or contribution it will be given by the community. So don't say Legends gives to Legend, do your best on reading more and making good contributions to the forum. It's more of educating ourselves than getting merit

Seems like this thread should be on Metal because OP talks about forum system, but other member will be butchering OP if this thread was on Meta. lol.

So, what you are proposing was the old system, before the Merit system we can just rank up by making 'Activity', if you don't know what actually is 'Activity' you can read this post, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-forum-activity-account-ranks-and-merit-2766177
With that system, Merit is redundant since it has no purposes.

I'm sorry, if I had said something wrong. There's no one here above any rules. If you have to earn merits, then you should consider learning and that's the simple truth. All that everyone has said so far (and more to come) might just seems to you like an insult but for someone who is ready to learn it would be taken as an advice. Just try and read all the post links you have been directed to and you will see from months to come, when you start improving you post quality and making good contributions merits surely will be given. There's no other way to go about it.

As for what you are suggesting it cannot be possible as other senior members were ones a newbie and if they had not made made good contributions to the forum then they wouldn't be able to rank up also.

Plans for what? For merit to be sold to newbies?

When a newbie that’s really interested in bitcoin comes to the forum it takes them lesser time to grow their account but the sets of newbies we have now are just fixated on acquiring merits and even to the extent that some of them are looking for shortcuts and if opportuned to purchase merits they’ll do so without having a second thought about it.

The main aim of merit is to appreciate those that make constructive contribution to a discussion so if you’re unable to receive merits it’s most likely that your post is not helpful or you’re only just reiterating what someone already stated in the thread, and to you it might seem like the lost you have made in the forum but to others is just another form of paraphrasing.

cmon guys no one read my post as it should !!!

it was suggesting

Actually the admins already give the solution for those people who want to enjoy like a member rank's advantage, it's through buying a copper membership.

So if you feel it's hard to get merit and you're not actively posting in this forum, you can just skip it by buy the membership.

The price is still cheap and the network isn't yet congested, so you will not pay too much for the fees.

Bro you said what makes me laugh out louder but I am pretty sorry if my lol will offend you, you said twenty (20) plus post gives you one (1) merit but now you have twenty four (24) posts as you mentioned but no single merit that means before you get one (1) merit you must have maybe fifty (50) posts lol  .
To get merit is not a big deal just make your quality post that's all, everyone here once started from crash, I don't think anybody get merits from their first post of learning.
Now you have been given so many helpful links read them carefully so you know the difference between quality post and shit post.

thank you !! you just proved my point

im not asking for merits if u read my topic well

it was suggesting plan for newbies

First I'm so happy that my post make u laugh u made my day 

second as I mentioned about you may attack me with your insults words and this isn't a begging for merits

since when high ranks members  become so naive ...just to throw insulting words and show that you are above everyone  and smarter

sometimes the smarting thing to do is to be silence

its really not the best way to grow your community !! I'm posting hello community/bitcointalk community .etc out of  Respect
if thats hard to understand then we have a serious problem here

i made this post to see how high ranks will respond and u didnt seize to amaze me ...im not posting at this forum anymore

im

Your topic, and the body of your message is getting me confused 🤔.
What is it, that is not far from the truth?
Now talking about merit and how to rang up, the rules are very simple, you can only get merits by posting quality post, nothing less nothing more.
Haven gone through your profile, I feel your not a frequent contributor on this forum, as you've been here for almost two years with just 22 post, whatever you have is as a result of your input, hence I urge you to start contributing meaningfully on forum and you will see yourself growing, This is the truth I that is not far from you(as regards your topic).

OP, you are not serious to learn in this forum because of how you sound on giving merits to newbies. You are not a newbie because you are almost two years in the forum with only 22 post and no merit. This shows that you don't have the zeal to earn merits like other forum members,and you don't want to improve yourself in the forum. Nobody will give you merit if you don't deserve it,there are so many ways to get merits and there are some threads by high rank members for application to get merits but you don't read anything and you want to grow,it is impossible. Or do you have another motive of being a member of this community because you are old enough to have attain the Senior member rank since the day that you registered if you were consistent with the forum activities.

I totally understand your poin(I feel same too, considering my rank and activities and how relevant my post and replies have been, you're courageous in saying this sincerely)On going through your post history especially ones you started I see that you've done well to ask some questions as regards Bitcoin, Ethereum hash speed and some comparison questions as well as kinda you sell some old timspot stuff via telegram.
In a way those questions must have left replies that helped not just you but also others but obviously it wasn't worthy of merit to higher ranked members
I'd say you do well to keep up your good post and monitor those who's been rewarded merit and see how they construct theirs ans how you can do same in different aspects

But one thing I observe it's like legends give legends merit and it's not really fair you help the lower ranks to grow and not 'enriching in merit already rich'...we may not have as deep knowledge as the higher ranked members when we post but it should be encouraged that we go to some extent learn new stuff and try to share... sometimes we the only thing that is earned is bully by some eyeservice members and nothing is learnt . I began to feel whether some members are afraid to give merits to others but since I learnt that smerit expires I was like why not give to encourage a post that hase brought so many people together bringing opinions than just hoarding it ... it's of no use if you're doing so. ...(message to higher ranked members)

OP keep posting relevant stuff I'm sure you'll get merit so much as to take you to the highest rank soon.

OP' if you made a comment where you asked for qualifications but essentially if you wanted qualifications in a post based way then that is wrong. You mentioned 20+ is a qualification in the post but if you think so then it will never be possible. There is no qualification based on posts no matter how many posts you post if you don't qualify you will remain a newbie. In that case you post quality to change your rank then you can get merit and your rank will increase. So you try to post better quality you will get merit. And there are many guides for newbies, observe and read them, only then you can learn and understand.

OP, a couple more months, and you'll be considered registered two years ago. Do you still think that someone owes you merit? If the forum proceeds from your worldview that quantity should prevail over quality, then we will go back to the past. It was from this that the forum ran away when merits were invented.
But back to you: why do you need merit? Will you look more manly by selling your products?
Sorry for the irony, but your posts do not show that you are interested in something here.
I like a good expression: "What you radiate is what you receive."

Merit system was added to recognize ones contribution to this community. It's not something you get for posting or increasing your activities. Rather if you make quality posts which would help the community to learn something or if you help someone in term of knowledge you can get merits. Try to make useful posts and don't violate any forum rules and you are good to go.

Begging for merits won't get you anywhere. Rather you could get negative feedback or trust. So don't do this.

If you did not get merit, it is because your posts are not good enough. Improve your posts and you will have merit.

Op, are these the posts you suggest getting merits from





It's very clear that op's main aim in this forum is to earn merits and not learning about the main focus here of which is Bitcoin.

It's so hilarious, and I still wonder why you always greet the community before creating each post. As I was checking your post history I couldn't help it lol
