I've found lot of merit topic in this forum, perhaps now I am not considering and paying lot of attention for this merit as can be seen also in my profile without merit at all Grin. For me, just still to learn a lot and also reading. But perhaps for you with much longer than me in this forum, merit is now a problem because of getting it is not easy. Hmm I am thinking also someday to know how creating good/high quality post in this forum.

You need to improve your English posting skills. I would have skipped over your post, but I decided to read it, and use it as an example. It takes work to understand what you are trying to say, and most of us here are pretty busy, so we just skip posts that don't flow easily.

I want to correct your notion. Getting merit isn't complicated and why it might seem complicated to you is because everyone is on a quest for it. Assuming we all allowed the merit system to play out and not want to get it all then it could have been different. All you need do is make reasonable posts that contributes to the forum success and viola merits will come.

The thing is that to get merit you have to post really, really, really, really good comments that catches people. While before to rank up you could just post regular and in the flow of things. While the merit systems guarantees that spammer won't rank up, it almost guarantees that a regular, average user won't rank up either.

Any consideration of lowering the merits required for the rank up requirements?

This wouldn't be possible as for the ranks are also being abused by some users. They're using their accounts just for earning in bounties, and within that case the number of spammers would definitely increase if we lowered the Merit Requirement of some RANKS.

or any tips you good guys have on how or where do I have to be to get them merits?
JUST BE PATIENT. That's what I can only contribute for your question. Don't waste your time on finding any other ways because as you can see on zentdex's post the Merit Distribution as of now is decreasing as time goes by. And only our posts will always be the answer on our needs in Merits.

Honestly I find it really complicated jumping up a rank; the merit gap between ranks is really high. I mean I have 10 merits I need 90 to jump up a rank it has been really really long and not even a single merit scored.
Getting merit is not difficult as what you're saying about. You can simply get merit if your post are good enough and contributing good to the forum but I saw your Latest Posts but most of them are on "bounties" which doesn't deserve any single merit.
Your count posts is at 1135 but didn't get any merit and has 182 activity with "10 Merits".
I just notice on every "bounty hunters" that they do not received any merit yet because most or commonly their posts are "crappy" as what you have mentioned.

Because just like trust merit is very hard to earn you have to do very constructive posts (see nullius posts) in order to get merit. if you want to get merits there are a lot of tips and trick to get merits just go search TMAN's tip in this section.

Instead of reading what other people have been saying or gossiping about merit and all dont you ever feel that you should work on your own and develop good skills of writing posts and engaging the general public to read your posts? That along with well written constructive posts on topic is what is needed for getting merit - of course at the proper exposure from merit sources.

sentences don't have to be long, actually if you do that unless you are nullius you are unlikely to get merits. The quality comes from content not length
Its a pity that some bottomfeeders think that writing large walls of text will fetch them merits. They dont realize that doing so causes retinal detachment in the reader and thus they have exactly zero chance of getting merited. Grin

This is the best counter to OP's suggestion. People should really look into their quality before asking this kind of question and making threads all over meta. One way to know it is by submitting their posts to the review/giveaway services of high ranked members and see if they got merit or not.

Actually ranking up in the forum is not the main thing that you need to do. It is just an indicator for the experience in the forum and the knowledge you gain while you refer this forum. You should definitely get a lot of knowledge about bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies if you refer the forum well. There are so much threads and topics to discuss and talk about the crypto and the market. and also mining and etc. If you truly refer those posts and stayed with the forum, you will definitely increasing up your knowledge. And also it is the way that you can rank up in the forum. If you have enough knowledge,you will post valuable stuff in this forum. And the rank will be increased according to the posts. So try to gain some knowledge here rather than just try to rank up without anything in your mind.

Well, merits is not that complicated to get, just have a good, quality and constructive post then you get merit. Merit system has a big influence in this forum, lowering the merits might disabled the use of it.

Minimum level of received merits to start a thread outside of newbies is the next step

OP if everyone could get merits easily wouldn't it defeat the purpose?

If everyone could get merits then it would break the wisdom of the merit system. Say for example every bitcointalk users are merit sources, then it is just like saying that there is no merit at all.

Many don't realize what is the positive huge impact of Merit system. Imagine those multiple alternative accounts ranking up by just being active, replying unrelated post, meeting the number of activity every 2 weeks using the old ranking system. Today's ranking system is different. Since merits are hard to achieve, those alternative accounts and have higher ranks are now afraid getting a negative trust and very careful on not to spam the forum and not joining the same bounties and airdrops.

Hey guys

I understand that the merit system is meant to illuminate/minimize the number of crappy posts...etc
Honestly I find it really complicated jumping up a rank; the merit gap between ranks is really high. I mean I have 10 merits I need 90 to jump up a rank it has been really really long and not even a single merit scored.

Any consideration of lowering the merits required for the rank up requirements? or any tips you good guys have on how or where do I have to be to get them merits?
I understand that you are a member right now and you need 90 merits to become a full member. Don't you know that most SHITPOSTERS in the forum are ranked jr. member and member. Maybe there are some low ranked users here that are contributing but most as in MOST of them are just contributing nothing here in the forum but just do some shitposts, one liner posts etc.

Regarding to  your question, there is no consideration of lowering of merits right now because rank here is useless. If you want to learn something, rank is useless.

Oh I know now, you are complaining because you want to gain higher stakes in the signature campaign right Smiley. You can get merit by contributing here. As my observation, people who know the complex things about bitcoin like mining, transaction, wallets, nodes etc. are the ones who got the most merits. Maybe you can learn them too Smiley

Where you are complaining about merit to be high, there are people who got it and have been ranked up. It's all about who deserves it. Stop crying for merit and work hard for it if you want to get promotion.

You meant to write "eliminate" I'm sure, right?

It's supposed to be tough.  If it wasn't, then we'd basically go back to where we were prior to January, and most people who've been on bitcointalk a while and have seen how toxic the shitposting problem is would argue that that would be regressing.  I'm among those. 

What's your rush to rank up, anyway?  You don't need to answer that, because it's rhetorical.  You want to increase your earnings and need a higher rank to do so.  We've heard this before, many times.  I'd suggest locking the thread.
