Topic: What does a Jr. Member do? (Read 502 times)

I will do. Again, thanks.

You are welcome!
Nevertheless, I think that it's right time for you to lock the topic because it seems that you got enough recommendations.
For now, you should start improving yourself.

It makes me think twice. Thank you

I thank you for the advices

I’m living in their circle. My neighboors are bitcointalk users and traders.

A few days ago I posted, half-jokingly, about trolling annoying ICOs with tons of shit-posting spammers. Ditto for stupid sig-campaigns. I wonder if there's a rule forbidding troll sigs: let's say some shitty sig campaign enroles an army of petty forum members. Would it be OK to wear a sig letting people know how much I think their project sucks? At least I could vouch for my sig, unlike those wearing it just to make money

You can also "earn" (sic) post count and activity if you post in any section of the forum without a signature as well.


Do you come to this forum for this sole purpose of earning for signature posting? If you do then you need to leave the forum and get a new job or some new hobby to kill time. Because the massive amount of spam that you people create is dragging this forum down the abyss.

Merit was created to make it difficult for shitposters to rank up.

Keep up the desperate attempts to earn merits and watch yourself get exhausted.

Of course, there are campaigns which accepted Junior Member rank to join, so you can definitely.

---

Users will get postcounts and acitivities simultaneously with their threads, despite of they join campaigns or not.
Why not?

A junior member can join signature campaigns and participate in some specific bounties.You can also look for other people on the platform for people who are scam and report them.

Also, good campaign managers check the past posting history before accepting members. Since there is competition between so many members, one has to focus on the quality aspect while making posts. This will increase your chances of getting accepted in a good campaign.

Exploring in this forum gives me a clear idea on what should I do as I go and promoted to a higher rank. You got it by posting right? Then that is the only thing you need to do, just post as always, reply or any you want just make it something beneficial and related to crypto, and if you are after for a money go and join some signature campaigns out there they give payments for a certain task.

Participating in signature campaigns is a good idea. You will earn post count and activity. Participating in bounty campaign was not so good idea. If you want to earn btc in jr member, you must join first sig camp. Earning merit was not a easy thing. Its not a easy quicky way to have merit but you, we, must try harder.

I want to add to point number 1, before you follow the signature campaign you should really pay attention to the quality of your post. because spam is strictly prohibited in signature campaigns.

The discussion is about jr members so it will not help you.

Most of the suggestions that OP got from his friend actually applies to all members. Like reporting merit abuse in forum is something that all members should do here based on their knowledge and experience. It is true that some experience is required to spot these accurately but you can try this. This forum does not have any special section for higher rank members (as per my knowledge) and thus you can get all information as newbie or jr member also.

That is the sole reason why people like you are going to be added to Ignore lists. Soon enough this forum should change its name to "bountytalk" for the safe of recognition for the shitposters.


LOL that typo caught my eye. Shitposters are so engaged in posting spam that they forget about spelling and punctuation.

This, obviously but regrettably, is what this learning forum is now turned into. I guess it's because of the so called price money attached to campaigns. Investigate and report, investigate and report while teaching and learning are sadly jettisoned. But OP, there's little you can actually do to earn in signature campaigns because Jnr Members aren't allowed participation in most of them. Except you are talking about altcoins or social media campaigns.

Consider rank and signature campaign as a bonus.
Do not seek the merits but let's the merit comes to you.
How to do it?

Contribute on forum and try to help forum technical

as a newbie all you should do is read.. spend 3 months reading every fucking day.. don't post in speculation, megathreads or anything that just gets your post count up. Think about how you can contribute to the forum, Good questions lead to good threads.

There is no fixed criteria for things that  junior member should do and it should be decided based on your own interests. Just because your friend is suggesting you to join a signature campaign does not mean you should go for it. Note that these bounties also require you to perform certain tasks and your current time schedule might not allow you for this. So decide accordingly after reading all the requirements.

And for the rest two suggestions, you should do this irrespective of your current rank.

Actually I am a Jr Member too , I spend my time mostly reading different contents and trying to expand my knowledge instead of hunting for mertis, because to get the merits you need to give an amazing content really

Being a jr member is a good privilege for those who wants to start joining in some bounty campaign. A jr member is starting point of everthing here in bitcointalk forum because you can do anything what other higher members can do like participating in signature campaign is one of th good advantage of being jr member. Because a newbie has a limitation here in this forum even though you can join in some campaign but sometimes it is rarely unlike jr member.

I wonder who this "friend" of yours is or if they are just another reincarnation of the same person who made this thread.

Read more and post less. That is the way you should grow your account. If you are a born shitposter then you wont get any "recognition" from anybody.

Tough to do on a daily basis if you dont have a lot of free time to waste.

Why do I have the feeling that this was another pseudo-merit begging crybaby thread?

If this tops the list of what your hero member "friend" thought you, that means the friend don't want you to grow. You are quick to start looking for signature campaign, you need to study the forum and know how to make reasonably, good post.

Bounties are just a reward you get for working for certain advertisers but not the focus of the forum.

good advice, I will try to follow your friend's suggestion to raise my rank. but look for an account that violates whether there is a sign.?

keep reading and posting as long as you can discuss a good stance in a certain topic is good because you can enhance your knowledge here in the forum second investigate and reports spammer is good as long as you have a reference that your report is true. you can join signature campaign from bounty while you were reading and learning.

Good to see your started (almost started) your life in BTT forum with such interesting question.
However, it seems that you have several misunderstandings about what you should do in the forum, mate.

Never should do like this.
The main reasons are:
- Joining signature campaigns almost immediately after joining the forum might lead you to totally wrong directions.
There are hundreds or thousands of bounty campaigns in the forum (some of them available for newbies or Junior members), but the bounty space are abundant with shit posts, with totally shitshows from farming accounts, and you might never learn any valuable stuffs in those topics.
- One of side effects is you might fall into wrong approach, become familiar with shitshows, and changed gradually to be one of shitposters.

This point is right! I also strongly recommend you to spend your time to read those very helpful, informative topics:
1) [Tips] Guide for forum search
2) Newbies – Read before posting (Lauda)
3) TMAN's guide to getting merits
4) Full Member thanks to merit system (iasenko)
5) tbct_mt2's Guideline on some forum functions, English texbooks
(in which I give links to my other three helpful topics)

Read them, learn from them, improve yourself and rank up. After having more knowledge, skills, ranked up to higher level. It is right time for you to join campaigns in the forum. Please remember don't forget to keep your contributions in the forum through your high-qualitied threads/ topics.

Of course, it is really good if you find them (abusers)  by chance and report them to admin or moderators of the forum.
Nevertheless, I don't recommend you to spend all or most of your time in the forum to find them. It doesn't make sense.
Instead, you should spend all or most of your time to do the first step I mentioned above.

Important recommendations for all forum newcomers:
Never beg for merits, beg for campaigns/ bounties!

You need to help another users , write useful posts and people will give you merit. But it's not easy , you should be write a really qaolity posts. Good luck you

These tips should be used also for Newbie. And so in general short and clear)

Seriously?  I'd probably have to put an ad in the newspaper looking for a local bitcointalk friend with a Hero member account, and there would probably be a lot of driving involved if we decided to meet up for coffee.  How do all of you people have these friends who are members here?  I just don't get it.

Jr. members do a lot of spamming, because where there's one Jr. member account there are probably 20 alt accounts at the same rank.  For the past couple of years or so, this trend has exploded because of all these shitty altcoin bounties (and some legitimate bitcoin-paying signature campaigns).  I would entreat OP to read some posts in Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion and see how much of it is spam, and how many posts come from low-ranked members.

I would discourage anyone from getting involved in a signature campaign immediately.  There are a lot of members who are ignorant about bitcoin and really have nothing useful to say--and at the same time, they have to make X number of posts per week, and the result is mountains of crapola.  Not that I expect you to even read this advice, but I would suggest OP do some reading here first and less posting.  And much, much less thread-starting.

Or you can just read and learn, and not give a fuck about the rest. 

Can I change that to "Keep reading and think before posting in good threads"

A lot of threads started by newbies and juniors are redundant and repeats of other threads. These are annoying, and pollute the indices. You should also think before you add a low value or spam post to a good thread. If you aren't making meaningful contributions, then you are likely to alienate members who value that thread.

 Great topic for newbie like me. i hope this will help more newbies like me.

A hero member giving you advice and the first thing he gave was to join signature campaign? Probably not a good member to look into.

You should go with number 2 and for 3, you don't really need to investigate, you can basically see spammers everywhere you can report them, put on ignore list, or just literally ignore them. As for merit farming, if you have proofs, then report them and/or you can reply here: USERS THAT ARE ABUSING MERIT SYSTEM / Suspected users that are abusing merit 3.0 i think Mods and DTs are still looking into this and are still trying to address the matter.

Again, we are avoiding our objectives of joining this forum.
We are doing signature campaign for money and investigation for merit. C'mon, we are here for learning more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

In my opinion, you should focus on learning, improving your knowledge, skills, rather than spend most or all of your time in the forum to find cheaters, spammers, abusers.
Of course, it's good thing when you find them by chance and report them to moderators due to their abusements.
But, I strongly suggest you not spend your time solely to find them, because it is one of best way to waste your precious time.

Instead, I recommend you to find prestigous guys in the forum and their invaluable, helpful topics. Someone like Jet Cash, TMAN, The Pharmacist, Lauda, iasenko, mdayonliner, hugeblack, etc.
You can learn bunches of amazing things from them.

In truth i'm not sure what you can do as i am not quite at that stage just yet.

As and when i do arrive at junior member i will continue to create content that i think will help, be useful to someone, and is worthy of meriting.

I have a certain style of writing that almost tells a story- a bloggers style if you will. Some people like it and some people may not. I just hope that the eyes that like it, happen to glance over my work!

Just create some decent/worthy content, and hope for the best.  

This thread is not an example of a good thread. Hopefully, you can see why without being explicitly told the answer.

And please stop recommending people to join signature campaigns as soon as they can. With barely any knowledge of crypto, what can you actually discuss? How the trends go up and down?

Firstly, I'm happy becoming Jr. Member. But I have no idea what to do and I have a question in mind "what does a Jr. Member do?".

I met my friend (a Hero member in this forum) and asked him "what should I do?". He gave me some advices and I would like to share with you:
1. Join Signature Campaign
2. Keep reading and posting good threads
3. Investigate spammers and  merit farming then report them

Hopefully this thread will help you too and I would be greatly appreciated for the advices from you all.

Best,
