I think you're mistaken, Did you actually read my post? I'm not here complaining about my rank, I'm talking about not being able to reward others merit without seeking out the merit sources. There's plenty of opportunity for senior members like I said above in my post. I don't assume any of these people are gods, I'm being sarcastic, no humor I guess Roll Eyes

. There was nothing negative about my post, didn't mean to offend you brother! To each his own.

I read your post very well, and I am referring to exactly the part where you say "I'm not getting ready to go to searching for the merit Gods in order to beg for more merit...Sometimes I wish I had merit to give to others, some people genuinely deserve the merit, because they make stellar threads/posts..." .

I understand what you meant by merit gods, and that you tried to be a little sarcastic, but I don't think you need to ask anyone for anything (in this case merits), but they need to find you. If you create good and quality content you will be rewarded for it, not only by merit sources, but also by all other members. Then you too will be able to reward others for every post you think deserves it.

I was not offended in the least, there is no need to apologize - everyone chooses their path and their strategy in life Wink

Some users are not interested in the merit system and they may ignore the OP, quality poster, and important information from send of merit. They didn't care about anything to do with merit until one day they realized that regardless of the number of post, activity, merit were a condition for rank up. Regarding spam behavior, it can't be avoided here. However, we can still do the eradication effort only by reporting a number of badly quality post to moderator.

The uses who do not care about the merits here are the one who do not come here often. They could be anyone who come here to get some knowledge or others who only use bitcointalk to advertise their services.

On the other hand, if there is anyone who do not care about about merits and keep on posting and one day see that merit is the requirement to rank up, then he is an ignorant person probably a shit poster who do not care to read the forum rules.

Reading here surely did reminded me this thread:

I was on the same shoes like you guys, getting ignored, criticize and wasn't able to do things that I wanted just like helping out the newbies..., 3 years surely is fast that I even don't remember well the things I've done.

The merit system seems biased, there is a lot more ass kissing for merits these days than there should be. I've been here for years since 2014, and right before I was going to become a HERO rank, BAM, they introduced the merit system. I mean it makes sense, there's way too many desperate new users coming onto the platform hoping to get in with a good campaign (we've all been there), that if they didn't introduce the merit system, all of those sweet opportunities would be gone. I'm not getting ready to go to searching for the merit Gods in order to beg for more merit. I'm comfortable being a senior member. It has it's perks.

I was a senior member when the merit system was implemented. Since then I have started to move and continue to make effort to improve the quality of post, increase knowledge and do so until now I have managed to collect 691 merit that have been accumulated with 250 airdrop.

I was once said to be a sycophant simply because I got some users on my Local Board to comply with the rule and improve post quality. They thought that I was trying to ask for merit from the merit source, when in fact they were the ones complaining. I get several message from established member both on my Local Board and global users not to post just because of merit. It is the best idea to enjoy all the processes and the journey to the Legendary rank. One day, I will also reach that rank. I'm enjoying the process now.

Also the spam was getting ridiculous from the new posters. Sometimes I wish I had merit to give to others, some people genuinely deserve the merit, because they make stellar threads/posts, I see them all of the time. They say the voice of wisdom often falls upon deaf ears though.

just my two cents Grin

I’ve already become Legendary before the merit system, but that hasn’t stopped me from collecting over 1200 merits and thus confirming that 1000 airdropped merits aren’t something I don’t deserve - as some imply when discussing it. I think you have the wrong opinion about how to deserve merits, because you imply that they should be sought from some merit gods - and since my merits come from as many as 249 different members do you really think they are all gods which require ass kissing as you say?

Everyone has the opportunity to be a useful and active member, which will result in a reward with merits - without having to do any inappropriate things along the way (of course I'm not saying that such things don't exist) Wink

I am not sure if this is fair to the younger members since the older members received higher forum ranks much easier.

In their defense, when older members joined this forum, crypto prices were on much lower side, they (probably) didn't join for the sake of incentives hence less spam and there was no need for systems like merit.

When merit system was introduced I was full member and hence was showered with 100 merits to begin with, at that time I had no hope to reach sr member but after 3.5 years here we are. My most merits came from two threads, which I shared just for sharings sake without any expectation, no any kind of bootlicking Wink

That calculator would make sense before the merit system, but that variable is now key and activity means nothing without a sufficient number of merits.

I remember when theymos released merit system, I was so close to become Legendary. I can't say that I was very disappointed or something back then, but it was kinda strange feeling. But I was confident that I will become Legendary one day.

I don't want to brag too much, so I will post here. I'm Legendary finally - it was nice surprise for me when I checked profile today which made my day better. Yeah, it took a while to rank up, but I'm finally here. I don't pretend to be best poster here, I'm just average guy here. So, I can tell from my experience that merit system works
I just want to say thanks to everyone who thought that my posts is merit worthy and merited me. It means a lot for me

From my 0 to 1000 merit experience, honestly, I stop caring about receiving merit after about 700 or so, after my merit count way ahead of my activity.

While the activity is predictable, the merit is not. Don't overthink it and keep posting whatever and whenever interest you the most. It's not a race, and you receive almost no benefit from being a top merited member. Last, if you think 1K is not doable, then you can count how many members who have done it.

I think Legendary is just a matter of pride in here since Here/Legendary gives you almost the same benefits on the forum.

The merit system is problematic for newbies who are struggling to get 1 merit and be able to post images, and here I am not talking about new Newbies, but about the ones that have 2-300 activity and they are still newbies. Not many users gives merit points to newbies just because they are newbies and they know you'll make him/her Jr.Member if you'll give 1 merit.

As for the calculator, is a good tool but for the old system (without merit requirement), with the current one the tool is just for curiosity as you'll get merit points much more harder than the activity required between the ranks time-frame.

To be newbie with 300 activity you have to be really dedicated to shitposting.

I don't agree that high ranked members avoid giving merit to newbies. Being relatively new member here I spent a lot of time in newbie&help subforum and I saw many newbies getting merit from high rank members after few dozens posts.

As of last Friday, there are 10.952 Jr. Members (that therefore required receiving at least 1 sMerit). It’s true though that if I narrow down on those whose account was created in 2019, the toll goes down to 476 Jr Members, which isn’t a large amount for 2019 created accounts.
(see https://public.tableau.com/shared/23435KRGF?:display_count=yes&:origin=viz_share_link)

On the other hand, I do believe that getting that one merit is a piece of cake if one applies himself to the task. It may take a month or two of perseverance (as was my case), but that is probably it.

If one wants to keep up the pace with the time required to rank-up as it did before the Merit System, you’ll need to gain a rough average of one merit per day (and that's when @DireWolfM14’s calculator comes in handy). That is pretty tough to achieve nowadays, but 1 Merit .. not really.

Here you have a point, and 1 merit/day sounds like easy task at first glance but you need to do this day after day for the next 3 years. Cheesy

@DireWolfM14’s calculator is no doubt a good tool, but is handy for the few, good posters active in here daily.

As for the 476 Jr.Members in 2019, I wonder how much is the percentage of total registered users to make the ratio.

Call me "merit farmer", call me "example of survivorship bias" (I dismiss both those statement, but who cares), but I can confirm it is doable.

I don't agree that merit is just a matter of pride for legendaries. The actual count is not important to me, as I will never be able to compete with the stats reporters. However, individual awards are useful, and they give me a feel for the general opinions in the forum, and they help me to "tune" my posts and threads.

Not the merit points are a matter of pride for users (maybe for some... I don't know), the Legendary rank is (this is what I've said) Tongue

Quote from: LoyceV on October 22, 2019, 04:22:18 AM

That's not a problem, it's exactly why the Merit system was introduced. If someone has 300 Activity without earning a single Merit, I'm pretty sure his posts are worthless.
But by all means, if you find a worthy Newbie with good posts: report them here so I can Merit them!

Will do it for sure, I actually say some good posts (from newbies) who deserved some merit but I didn't had anything at that time left to give it.

Thanks for the tip!
