Why some of the beginners always focus on how they will earn merits and always ranting when there is no merits on every single post? Sometimes it's like you are having a meeting and begging approvals to your co-workers and CEO on your common proposal. We should focus on learning about crypto and making some informative posts that is very helpful rather than focus on earning merits. Some of here are just making another version of an actual post, just putting some incredible attachments for us to say this is unique. Maybe you should focus on how really things work in cryptocurrency because this is the real object you must encounter.

Begging for merits while your posts are qualified and ready to be put on the trash, is very annoying. Merit system is very helpful to us 'cause it inspires us and make a quality post but still, copying and recycling some post is a shitty doings.

We all care about achievement. Me too. I want my post always attached to the top of the list or the most voted. To achieve achievement in bitcoin is very rewarding. But not because of achievements but fraud is not supposed.

For me merit is like my goal in life that is hard to reach.

If getting merit on an online forum is your life goal, you need to think about the priorities in your life.

Quote from: jose111 on February 17, 2018, 11:12:55 PM

But i think not only focusing in merit is very important in this forum. If people has much concern,love and embrace this technology sooner or later it produce much useful and progressive system. It helps much more number of people or maybe all people can join here. Having merit is not easy. People need to be more productive, constructive and have a positive mind to build a meaningful post.Merit is a thing that lead us to the right way in room of improvement, but the very important thing is doing our best shot to be much better here in the forum. To donate much meaningful and helpful information to others especially in newbies.

All this could e summarized into "Merit system is good for the forum". No need for fluff.

Many are focus on merits, because these are considered as one of the rank requirements. For us to have merits ,we should provide quality posts and contribute to others knowledgeable info that can share ideas to others.

Also, many of the current signature campaigns only offer positions to members+ so accounts are going to need at least 10 merits to level up. Maybe this will be good news for the higher level accounts who can enter signature campaigns with possibly higher rewards. Either way, I guess I'll have to try my luck with the bounty campaigns until then. Roll Eyes

No, you are wrong, higher rank has no benefits for merit system this is for the sake of the forum and not for the individual, yes higher rank can participate in signature campaign but as you can see right now there are required merits per ranks are required to join in signature campaign that is why this is not an advantage.

Agree with you bro that we should not focus on earning merit. This merit thing will just serve as a warning to each and everyone of us that we have to make our post relevant and helpful. There is no such thing as "HQ" because we can't even give criteria to it. For me, as a rookie in this field, i try to ignore that there is a merit system and just continue to help in a way that i can. It may not that big but at least i could help.

You are right about this. Focus is on merits only because they are now essential to rank up. If someone has joined here for signature campaigns, he will try to get these 10 merit points asap. However, in my opinion now one has to be patient. It will take more than 3-4 months on average for new members to become a member.

Really sad, there are so many members here that joined this forum to earn income in bounties, they never intended to help others nor share info because i think that they dont know much either in crypto. Begging merits wont work here in the forum, why? because the higher rank members know the real essence of this merit system. They wont entertain someone who begs for merit so its useless but still it is sore in the eye seeing someone who begs for merit.

Not true, I did entertain a reputable DT member, refer to my merit stats and check out 30 undeserved merits I received.

The sad reality is, people are asking for merits for the sole purpose of(having matrimonial intercourse with an orphan girl) ranking-up

The sole purpose of having merits is to rank up, in a few years from now, top merited posts would be the most helpful posts, now is just to stop illiterate beggars from lifting their facking lives.

Since the release of the merit system so many people have been disappointed because it is the way to lose or reduce spammers. Nothing will change if we train the previous task, like posting with non quality post and posting with no limit a day. We need to post a good quality because the time will come that the manager's required high merit for their project promotions.

Another thread regarding merit..

It's going to keep happening as long as merits are required to rank up.

More noobs=more accounts=more people needing merit points. The points are not unlimited, and thus I think there is going to be a drought at some point. I was handing them out fairly freely up until a couple of days ago. I now have about 50 merits left to send, so I'm being more selective. My opinion is that this system is supposed to frustrate newbies and it's not supposed to be easy to earn merits. Given how low the quality of posts has been, this is the way I think it should be--and I don't think Theymos is going to change it anytime soon. Maybe we need more merit sources. I've definitely seen a lot of posts that probably deserve to be merited, but I just don't have enough merits to give.

I think it's a bit unfair for a Full Member to judge newbies who want to rank up. You have more privileges than them and based on those privileges you can actually make a profit in this forum easier than them. And yes, some of them come to this forum just for this. Would you really blame them? Not everyone is here to learn and enlighten.

By the way, posts that complain about newbies who want merits are not unique either Wink

It seems like you don't care on our forum, you just want some profits and thinking about yourself only. You're selfish in a way that wants equality treatment but doesn't care what is the obstacles we've been through reaching this rank. That's why we're helping you out to move yourself out in this merit system and learn because we have so many experiences in here. you should change the mentality of yours. Goodluck, have a good day.

I didnt said that "all" of beginners doing this, if you read and appreciate the content of my topic im sure you'll understand how we feel. By the way, im not judging them 'cause the things i see is a matter of fact. This post is an advice for those who focus on merits, i dont care if this unique or not. As i said earlier, i just want to clarify things to help the beginners.

I always saying this to all of you that this forum is not for making profits, maybe you can get profit but this is not the real purpose of this so maybe you must find other forum that focuses on profits and be active there.Then if you hate this i think you belong to the people that just want merits. haha

Merits now is considered as one of the tools that measures, the capability of each users how broad their knowledge when it comes to crypto. They used to come up a very good quality post, which can really contributes to crypto world so others may inspires and as a result they can give merits to you. Also, merits are now one of the requirements of bounties for us to participate and join campaigns because you can truly contribute to their services not only for the sake of earnings.

Another thread regarding merit..
Well there are two types of member here in bct forum one, first one 'The Genuine' this users are the one who really cares about whats happening in crypto, the ones who truly want to learn and broaden their knowledge here in crypto, and the ones who truly want to contribute here in the forum. This kind of user usually dont focus enough in merits.

In terms of the "genuine" users you were referring to, realistically, how many of them are here? Or let me put it like this, if we're talking about learning about what's happening in the crypto world, broadening knowledge etc... Is this the right place for that?

I literally opened the bitcoin discussion section (the most populous board that is displayed at the very top) right now, and the first five threads are these:

How long will bitcoin survive
Why I love this bitcoin crash
Bitcoin price is recovering!
What will you buy if bitcoin will be $1M
Why you believe in bitcoin?

Is this really the quality content you want to see, if you're trying to learn more about crypto? I think once we realize the following, everything will be easier to understand: Pretty much everyone here is here for the money. In the past, this forum may have been the best source for crypto related stuff, but not anymore, since there are a lot of other and better resources you can use. So let's establish that everyone wants to make money, and shape the merit system accordingly so that it makes more sense.

Everyone including you would expect to get merit, that's fair because merit can help us to increase the level of account we have. Perhaps nowadays merit can be said as a very important thing, everyone is competing and motivated to be able to contribute to the forum. I think it has a lot of positive values, so everyone will always try to be active. Imagine that when everyone can provide a positive discussion, Bitcoin's development will increase and the number of Bitcoin users will also increase, it will be very helpful to provide a bright future for Bitcoin which is said to be a new digital financial era in the future.

How do you say im expecting merit on my post, I'm participating in this forum with positive intentions since i realized that our forum is becoming substandard. I just want to clarify things and help other people to get over this merit system. It is better to say that you're creating post because you learn something than creating post because of merits. I'll change a little bit to your statement, Through knowledge and learnings, (insert your last statement) also, the users of bitcoin and members here will have more lively discussion 'cause we are full of knowledge. Merits can't make an outstanding debate, discussion, talks, conversation and many more. Expressing things through knowledge widens your capability of learning to your community.

Regarding with their mentality, people would exhaust everything just to earn alternative money and begging for merits may be their solution (which I believe seems to be desperate).
