Topic: Why it's so hard to rank-up? (Read 1735 times)

If a user doesn't post answers or topics that are beneficial, pertinent, amusing, or any other characteristics that would allow someone to award merit to the post, it is difficult to rank up here.
In general, users must possess knowledge in order to be recognised and to perhaps acquire certain merits, whether these merits are awarded subjectively or objectively.

There is no doubt, it hard to rank up. For some people to get it easily does not mean that it is easy to do. Some people can be lucky about it and some can be hard luck. That is why one post must have high merit than the other even if both of them are of the same quality level.
The day I know that it is hard to rank up was the day I saw someone with 1233 activity but without any merit. I was surprised but when I open the person profile I notice they were posting just links upon links upon links. That was how I knew about bounty hunting in the forum. Those kind of people don't get merits.

Sure, 5 years is a long time to learn. So he knows and sees how the users here write, it should inspire him.


But I also thought there might even be him having merit just for getting an airdrop. So that he was too satisfied and comfortable with it. So that he does not want to contribute usefully to the forum. There is no need to learn. Although I am actually also sure in this forum that there are many helper threads to obtain merit. But indeed if the quality of the post is not worth it then don't expect it. Perhaps the best advice is to maximize learning and expand the discussion in his local thread.

 If you have stayed up to 5years in this forum, you would have mastered where the mistake is from, for you not to rank up as expected of you. Were you less consistent in the forum posting back then around 2017?

Having said that, you can't earn merit in this forum if you can't put effort into your posting. You start by being consistent in the forum, You posts when necessary, and expecting nothing in return. The mistake some users make is to be less active in the forum, and expect a miracle to happen.

You're right, we can explore to share useful crypto related content to all forum community members without the primary goal of increasing rank or gaining merit, but other members will appreciate your topic by giving merit as motivation to continue contributing to the forum. So beginners should know the basic rules of the forum because in some cases beginners ignore the basic rules and in the end they make mistakes that affect the reputation of the account.

Thank you mate for enlighten us the new comers to this forum because we will need all the knowledge and experience from older members to actually grow in the forum.

Like they say you can't learn very well without you must have making a mistake or error at the long of learning something

And we only grow when we,ve learnt from our mistakes and take correction from others around us

Many thinks ranking up is as difficult as they had thought but things does not really work the way we most times approach the ranking system of the forum, how do you expect a shitposter to rank up, or an occasional member that rare go active on the forum to also rank up and the main thing as well is that not everyone has the intention to stay after getting onboard to the forum, then what we also post determines the tendencies to make us rank up because the merit system is what has been adopted to restrict some undeserving members from ranking up.

Why should a higher-ranking user give merit to quality, constructive and informative posts.? You and low ranking members can also give Merit on useful posts as long as sMerit is still available.
You can also give Merit to users who rank higher if the post is considered quality, they also need Merit to get additional sMerit so that it can be distributed to other users. There is no need to hoard sMerit or save it because it will not give you any benefit.

You are not up to a month old on this forum, and to be frankly speaking, I must say ranking up here is not that difficult, in as much as you are consistent, and you could come up with good creative content/ideas about Bitcoin, how it affects the forum or the environment at large.
So as a new member of the forum, I will advice not to ever go against the forum rules, and remember that plagiarism is highly prohibited here on bitcointalk

If you want to increase your Rank at Hero or Legendary Member. You have more skills and knowledge about the cryptocurrency. If your post will be helpful and constructive then Higher Rank Member give you merits. Then your Rank will be increase.

Every employee is eyeing points to be promoted by the company's leadership for good work in meeting the target.
Promotion of position is the motivation of employees at work. I've experienced that. The most basic thing to be promoted is to love work and work with heart.

Here I also think it should be like that that is "Loving Work and Working with Heart".
Here I only take advantage of the opportunity to learn from great people who have extraordinary knowledge about the future currency

This is what I've learned, to have more patience and just continue to doing your best to achieve your goals.
Ranking up is only be hard if you just focus on that, there's a lot of ways to be more productive here, choose that better option and always open to new ideas and opportunities.

Of course you are welcome, just continue reading all the details you want to know and you can be good. Just follow the advices on the comments here and ranking up are more possible for you.

Correct. The first step is that we must try to understand the system and rules in the forum first. then we must continue to develop ourselves by continuing to learn and add insight and that requires high consistency. Patience in the process is also required. we don't need to rush. we enjoy the learning process while sharing every knowledge that has been obtained. and we will be surprised that ranking up becomes easy if we live it while enjoying it. so keep learning so that insight continues to grow. because if our insight is lacking then it means we can't share anything that is useful for others.

I have read the eleven hints very well, trying to follow them.  A hint is very good, the quality of my post should be very good and should not end with one or two words.
Post should not be off topic, reading my post to learn something new.  If you gain some different knowledge through my post then i can get merit in that post.  And slowly i can rank up. Moreover, if i am active regularly in the forum, i can learn a lot, if i am not active, My rank will not go up easily.

I'm new here, I hope I'm welcome into the forum, while reading and replying of topics base the area of discussion, I hopefully, I will be rank up the more I'm active on the forum.

If you are not good in quality post, it will be difficult for you to rank up on time because some of the senior members you see in the forum ranked up by quality post and patience for the right time for the ranking to come.  Don't post because you want to rank up today  like senior members who followed the due process to get to were they are today.

Indeed knowledge is a central aspects of merit sharing.

I made my point clear in this thread:

Ranking up is possible! 2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!My 11 Hints!

You need to understand how to contribute effectively to the forum, before asking for rank-up and merits.

Ranking up is all about consistency and self development. If you have knowledgeable ideas about bitcoin you can easily rank up. Ranking up seems too difficult only when you don't know what to in the forum. The forum about learning and share good information about bitcoin.

this is what many people need to be aware of including myself. That is realizing the importance of knowledge. because we will not even be able to make a post that is useful for others if we ourselves do not have enough knowledge to share.
so start with learning more. and continue to share every new knowledge we have gained. and don't care that other people will appreciate it or not. because if we focus too much on Merit. then when we don't get Merit in every post that we share, it will make us easy to give up and feel useless. but if we don't expect too much then our mentality will stay awake. and keeps us consistent in making quality posts. and let Merit naturally come to us.

and we also need to know that many Merit sourch are kind and they are even willing to take the time to review our posts. and they will give Merit if our posts are considered useful.

Here are some threads that I hope can help everyone who wants to submit their posts for review.
√ [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source by LoyceV
√ [Merit] Share your best posts/threads with Fillippone to be merit assessed by fillippone
√ Rules for my post history review offer to the community by The Pharmacist

and maybe there are several other threads but they are no longer active. so I didn't include it.

So keep trying to contribute well in this forum by making useful posts. And don't worry your posts are not appreciated. because if you are quite sure that your posts are of high quality then you can ask for a review on the Merit source which provides a thread about it. but you have to read and obey the rules.
because reading and obeying the rules that are made is to prove that you are among those who respect the maker of the rules.

I think it is because people see someone who earn money that is much more compared to what other earn then that person will ask that what and how did he/she earn much more money than the others so, in merit when they see someone who earn with a lot of merit with a simple post and yet acceptable to all or merit worthy then they would also try it. In short, those who always complaining that it is very hard to rank up wants to rank up in easy way (faster way).
