Topic: What many of us newbies are getting wrong about merit - page 2. (Read 300 times)

Thanks a lot for showing me a better way to do things to be sincere, I was thinking everyone would say the same thing about this thread, but instead of judging as ever other person did, you gave a smooth advice that I could follow take myself a better and useful person to this forum. I really appreciate thanks. At least someone sees the hardwork put into making the post despite the "he is just merit hunting comments going on here".
And i think important threads like this if there have been made before should either be pinned on top so new commers intrested should view too or the idea of telling newbies to search for old topics should also be publicised on this forum  too as we always encourage others them to do personal research.
I believe that many newbies haven't taken advantage of this forum as a source of information, and many are still finding it hard to navigate the forum, I've check on YouTube and they aren't even much tutorial about this forum, which in a way makes the learning process a bit difficult for newbies that still find it hard to navigate the forum.
And another thing I'd love to point t out is the idea of ranked member thinking they know far more than new members which could be a big illusion. So many comments here were built around the ideology that a newbie, shouldn't be teaching other newbie and I don't see how that is even the a thing. Then if so oy ranked members should be allowed to make threads, since the forum consider them most knowledgeable.
I believe anyone could learn for anyone even a newbie or someone that just created an account could contribute if he has something to say. And I'm so very sure that most the people commenting on this thread didn't take their time to read through and just came to conclusions after reading the first few lines of my post.

I must appreciate the ample time you would have put in to create this thread but, I wish you had used it to come up with something different you know, some other idea that would be while my informative to not just newbies or beginners but the ranked forks as well.
Like, I came to see yet another thread with merits for a header and am like, “another thread on merit again”…

Well, the idea is, some of the schemes becomes too polarized that, no body turns a second eye again or falls prey. Instead of being too concerned to create another thread, make this as a comment where you find a thread of this nature, it would be more valuable that way. Exposure might be your problem but, hope it makes meaning there.

There are newbies in rank but already knowledgeable about crypto therefore they are only considered as newbie in rank but never newbie when it comes to having knowledge so getting merits is not a must and it's not a race for ranking up an account. After all, this is a forum where we discuss different topics, share knowledge or information that is new like news and events. Merit system is not just for making people improve themselves but also lessen the accounts ranking up easily because of bounty hunters who post low quality posts that will only result in spam just for the sake of meeting the number of posts that is required to get rewarded from bounty campaigns.

One of the things that both real and obviously fake newbies (like you) are getting wrong about merit is that you have to share guides and appear as know it all in order to het merit, while in fact you can also earn merit by by asking the right questions and being genuinely interested in bitcoin.


Since he already managed to earn 6 merits, I would say that he is doing a  good job getting people fooled.

Nice thread sir, let's see how many user(s) get fooled by a newbie who's trying to teach newbies.

It's great, we need to have more people creating alt accounts, meriting each other, making each other achieving full member rank, applying a signature campaign and then start spamming in this forum. Don't forget to repeat and make money from it.

Why can't you allow yourself to be crucified yet before doing so on yourself, there must be something in that your mind telling you about this and you wish to spell it out before others help you do thesame, moreover who told you it's a major challenge on newbies to earn merits, have you discovered about the way people are ranking up, or maybe you should even know that newbie rank is the shortest any serious member could stay before leaving for others.


This aspect has been discussed hundred of times, what you're only trying to do is to get more attention on yourself to receive that same merits you're preaching about, a newbie indeed that knows how to quote and reference old post.

Despite your opening statements, it always rubs the wrong way when a new member starts a thread (one that has been discussed thousands of times before) teaching other newbies how to act to grow their accounts.

Use the search option and bump one of the useful advice threads that has already been made.

You or anyone else should not have a troublesome quest to make a post, that leads to merit begging threads and repetitive spam posts. The quest should be to read more useful threads and apply that knowledge in real life.

This is not me trying to claim as tho I know anything much, besides Im still a newbie like some of us here and I think I'm not to small or too early to give forum advice if I have something good to say. Since I'm also a newbie I think that one of our major challenge is to earn merit.
  Concerning our troublesome quest to make a post we'll deserving of merits, I have a few things I can share regarding this topic, it has worked for me and I can work for anyone who chooses to regard them.

👉 Firstly I'll say STOP BEING SO MERIT CONCIOUS : I know this might seem so misleading since my topic revolves around earning merit, but let me explain. I've seen many newbies make threads on topics they know very little about and at the end they would get Comments or reactions that would seem hateful or disciplinary (to me) from our seniors. And from my observation the root of this would be the fact that they are so much in a haste to earn merits than to understand how the forum works, what it wants and the basics of earning merit.
  If newbies take their time to read the forum rules on the merit system, they would find out that it states clearly that you would receive merit from making quality posts.
  But I think what they might be confused about is the idea of quality, which would have been simplified aa helpful. From my long term observation on this forum I have come to realise that the merit system isn't bias in any way and merit goes to those that are making helpful contributions to the forum, be it by Comments or making a thread.

With this point noted I think the next question should be, WHAT DOES THIS FORUM CONSIDER AS HELPFUL OR QUALITY POST?

👉 I would love to acknowledge the fact that different persons on this forum have different perspectives and interests and would react to different comments and thread differently.
 So I would give a very general answer to this question.

I believe that most people are on this forum for different reasons, but a major and inevitable reason would be to learn and improve on their knowledge on bitcoin and the crypto verse at large.

By this fact I can establish that we are all knowledge seekers here, and if knowledge seekers what we need is information. So what a person on this forum would consider helpful or quality would be the right information that would improve their knowledge or solve a problem for them. This makes the merit system even more clear, if you continue to improve on yourself and grow in knowledge, you can make better contributions and thereafter earn merits by favour of doing so.

Now if we have reached an agreement on this I would like to talk about my last point. Which is to grow and improve in knowledge.

👉 I've already established a fact that the merit system is in favour of those who improve themselves and learn more. And many newbies are still struggling because they lack this ideology. To earn merit you must contribute and to contribute you must grow.

The final and most important question should be HOW DO I GROW AND IMPROVE MYSELF?

👉 AS A NEWBIE YOU MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND THE FORUM AND ITS RULES:  

I'd like to make reference to a comment on a thread yesterday by Sandra hakeem

Im not trying to promote myself here, I just want to point out to fact that she said you have learnt the rules which I'm still learning, but as a matter of fact its still important. I've seen many newbies with about 50 activities and higher that are still making Common mistakes that are quite annoying to some seniors, stressing to the fact that very little newbies have read about the forum rules or doesn't even know about it. So every newbie must first take out time to understand forum rules first before posting.

👉 secondly I say ask questions, this is a learning community and everyone here is ready to help you out with answers to any questions regarding to crypto or bitcoin.

👉thirdly  IF THERE IS ANY TERM MOST USED ON THIS PLATFORM IT WOULD DYOR: this might be the most important thing every newbie should know and its doing your own research, it's every forum members responsibility.  If this is a learning community, i believe everyone should have something to contribute to the forum. But if you know nothing, what do you do. Become a crypto activist, join crypto related groups or communities on other socialplatforms, subscribe to news feeds. Just make learning about crypto your lifestyle and it would become part of you.

With all this said, I believe your growth in this crypto community is your decision and can only be achieved by you. This forum isn't bias and would reward you appropriately, so keep whining about how earning merits is difficult and Start learning.
Pls if you have any contributions to this thread, we would also love to learn from your information. We newbies would love to learn more.

I believe this is not all and I know our seniors can better contribute to this thread.

Everything I've said is based on my observations and what I've tried and worked for me.
