Bitcoin Forum

I’m a new to crypto field.I know about the ranking system in Bitcoin Forum.when I read the post and replies,I saw some members are still on the Jr member Position.but they earn lots of activities.some ones are on 200 or 300.but only gain one or two merits.some Hero Members and    
Legendary Members have more merits than activities.How can I get merits to climb up.....

Only activities are not enough for ranking up anymore. You will need merit as well.




So, It does not matter the number of activities in an account. Someone can have few thousands of activities but if they fail to earn merit then they will never rank up to Member or above anymore.

Rank                 Required activity             Required merit
Brand new               0                                     0
Newbie               1                                     0
Jr Member              30                                     0
Member              60                                    10
Full Member     120                                   100
Sr. Member     240                                   250
Hero Member     480                                   500
Legendary   Random in the range 775-1030  1000

This the rank metric of bitcoin talk forum.

You’ve barely been 24 hours on the forum according to your account details. I could go on to a lengthy posts trying to address the topics you mention, but I think that the best piece of advice I can give you is to is this:

Just as you are following your higher studies as you yourself declare on a post, study the forum and try to answer all those questions in the process. The questions you address have been answered multiple times, so searching around should suffice (use the forum’s search feature or do it from google (site:bitcointalk.org rules, site:bitcointalk.org ranks and merit, etc.)).

Activity is easy to obtain (it's just a matter of posting an average of one post per day), merit is most certainly not, and requires you to give something of value through your posts. Study the posts that do get merited in order to understand what is expected. That way, if merit is a concert to you, you will save a lot of time.

I will none the less give you a few links to start with:
 Merit & new rank requirements (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.msg28856522#msg28856522)
 Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0)
 Re: Who can award merits (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4468782.msg40078982#msg40078982)
Merit Stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats)

The higher level people they need to make a big contribution. Those contributions are recorded by the common parts that we call it merit. The more merit you have, the easier it is to level up

You should read these recommended topics by @mdayonliner more carefully because it is likely that you did not really understand what is merit system, its operational mechanism, its benefits to forum users.

There is a topic "Newbies, read this before posting" with all information you're looking for:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0)

Meet the required rank requirements given by mdayonliner and then you will rank up. Regarding on how to get merit is focus on contributing to the forum or to the people and you will rank up.

Cool, another "how can I get merits?" thread. I've been missing those.

List of Threads Giving Away Merits - Updated 12 march 2018

There, you'll find some best threads to look for, while trying to earn merits and promote your rank. Good luck everyone, had been busy but will now start back to look for some cool posts to share my merits with. ;)

This is really help full.My other BCT account also have 700+ Posts & still a Junior member.Thank you.

thank you for list of topic that can we earn merit. Your answer help we so much

Getting Merit is hard though!

Honestly I am confused by what you meant here but I assume this has something to do with potential activities. Some users have this if they haven't reach their max activity (meaning they haven't posted enough). Users get 14 potential activity every 2 weeks (activity update).

You can read more about potential activities here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2173796.0

This is because of the newly implemented merit system where you have to get merits and activities at the same time to be able to rank up.

Merits are not earned because of the activities that a user have. It is earned by not spamming the forum (ie. being actually helpful and constructive).

I highly suggest you to first fix your sentence construction and know how to use the proper punctuation marks.

May I ask why you are so eager to rank up soon?

It’s a not a good news , in the before you can update your level by activites , but now you can not do that. Because of update to jr , you still need 10 merits .

As far as i know they implemented the merit system just this year to prevent spamming. Some users here keep posting topics which you can find in other posts, meaning they are doing it to increase their activities. Im actually in favor of this merit system cause it will help a lot of users especially us who are new in this forum to read and study. Its like being in a school for the first time, we need to learn what are the rules and regulations and if we want to excel well its in our jurisdiction to decide. If we keep on posting irrelevant matter or keep posting same topics over again well we might be stuck in Jr Member till we die.

Absolutely right whatever how many activities you have completed unless if someone will give you some merit maybe that's the time your account will be ranked up and besides if that person is really deserving and has a potential in posting also.

thanks for this it's really helpful

May be useful to you :
Rank   Required activity   Required merit
Brand new   0   0
Newbie   1   0
Jr Member   30   0
Member   60   10
Full Member   120   100
Sr. Member   240   250
Hero Member   480   500
Legendary   Random in the range 775-1030   1000

It's not hard, you just create a high quality post and help other member. and never think you will got merit after helping them. we are here for helping each other ;)

Still a Jr.member until someone is able to attain some merit and quality numbers of post.

As what I think you should have also nice compilation of sentences, grammars and also how you put punctuation in every line in your post. There are sections in this forum which they discuss about merit and you can actually find it here in the Beginners&Help Thread. Every post it should have quality and no off-topic, users need double effort so that you will be given merit from a higher ranking accounts.

It is very important if you want to be given merit you should make a constructive post that have sense in topic its up to you if you are going to quote or post and make sure that the readers will actually understand what you are up to or what do you want to deliver in order for more to understand.

Fortunately, it's not too hard to grow up to Member rank. One quality thread and you are the winner.  :)

Why would you even concentrate on getting merit straight away? What exactly are you planning on doing with it? Most probably you still have a lot to learn, try carrying through with the studying business and the merit will be awarded to you eventually. Patience is a virtue  ;)

Rules have changed and now you have to write good posts to get merits to rank up.

Hey, I appreciate your concern. I agreed with you. I just joined here but I have more than 5 years experience other forum like forex,trading,warriorforum,blackhut, etc.

From my previous experience I came to this conclusion that only activities are not quite enough for rank up. You need to increase your activities as well as merit. But without quality content you can't achieve your desire merit.

So learn more and more. Without learning you can't climb up your position.
So don't worry just learn more and be careful about your content quality.

Have a great day...

It takes months or years to be a Hero or Legendary, they are here since 2014-2017 thats the advantage of creating account early. You better keep on posting good threads

What is the difference between activity and merit? Merit evaluates the quality of posts whereas activity is just the frequency of posting?

I'm in the same position as you, i also have a lot of activity but no "merit" points. The difference between activity and "merit" is that "merit" points you can get from other members of this forum, but activity points are one point per post. So you have to work harder to the "merit" points gained by others. You have to write quality contributions, beneficial to many members, simply HQ posts.

I am still a beginner in this forum, whether to ride to Jr should have Merit too?

You are still a junior member like myself because you don't have merit. Merit is gained by posting quality and beneficial post on the forum. You need atleast 10 merit to upgrade to member. So keep the quality post rolling in and in no time you will upgrade to the level you want.

Because promoting in position has been changed. You can't promote your rank by only posting such a think but the solution is to post really good quality posts that can really be helpful to anyone in the thread. You need to make sure that your post is always good and easy to understand for those who need help. In that case, you can have merit from others.

If you check the new rule , you will find you need 10 merits , merit is different with activities . You can get activities by posting or creating new thread . But the merit is not , the only one way you can get is from others .

Just make quality thread and you will get merits for up your ranking in bitcointalk. But make quality thread is so hard I think. Another people can rate your thread and make some decision to gift you merit or not. So you just make more quality thread for get more merits.

The policy now become complicated and strict, Normally merits will be based on content and relevant of your post or reply to thread by others. if it creditable and sometime if they see your avatar and signature with ads surely they will not bother to give you merits because they know already your purposed. so if you want to gain at least 50% be sure you dont carry any ICO bounty stuffs .

You need to earn merits bro after the normal number of activities to get promoted to a Member status.
Just make sure you post some quality posts.

It is all a matter of time...i think one must follow all the key rules and regulations in order to gain promotion from the Jnr member to the Snr member. Moreover, the key post to every question is needed in here. Also gain more activities as stated.

Great resource! Thank you!

Merits are not merely given on every quality post that a person makes, I think it is a matter of hard work through quality posts that promotes the forum and good luck. I have seen a number of good posts on this forum but no merit was given to the authors. I think they were not lucky to be rewarded with merits by those who have the power to do so.

Most of those Jr. members that you saw are only after bounties. They have lots of posts and activities but lesser merits since they focus more on joining bounties. Some of them doesn't deserve to get any merits from their shitty and spammy posts.


They are the genius individuals in the forum. They have more knowledge when it comes to the technology and exerted so much effort for us newbies to learn from. It's from legendary members that we ask important questions and will surely get very good and helpful information from them.

You need to read first before posting. Learn the basics of the forum and the technology then focus more on helping out the community rather than focusing on begging for merits.

Merits are based on the quality of your content. if someone likes your shared contents he can reward you merits. but its not easy as not everyone practice it

You must be really useful that people give you their Merits.
You can convey to people the necessary and important information. Also you can help another person to find the answer to the question that interests him.

Because you don't get Merit, you want to get Merit and you have to publish excellent articles or help more people!

It's not that hard if you do quality posts and share some valuable information.

It is hard to have merit. You have to make a lot of useful contributions to the community and they will feel your articles help them to answer their questions and they will repay you by giving you their merit.

Merits is given by making a high quality post that is helpful to the thread or forum. People who have sMerits can give Merits.
Read here hope this help:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

Activities can't be enough for gaining level up as merit is much more important here even beside all of these you must have to make constructive post.

The merit system is a pain. People are so protective of their merits as everyone is looking to climb.

 It's so hard to get into air drops as a lower ranking member, and this will only make it more difficult as some air drops only accept above a certain rank. The rich get richer!

This helps a lot.  Thanks for that chart.  I hope to be a member one day.

Gone are the days when ranking up on this forum is done based of the number of activities you have got. It is now combined with merit. You have to be merited in order to rank up on the forum and you can only get merit by making quality and helpful posts. So now you can remain on the same spot if there is no equivalent merit for the next rank, this is regardless of your number of activities.

Hey,

Forum changed their rule to ranked up & now all are asking this topic in here... Now a days it's really a important questions.

Look you just only need 30 activities to be Jr. Member. After then you need also Merit with your activity.
You can earn 14 activity every week but you can't earn merit by your activities.

Because if you eagerly interesting to get some merit you need quality content to post and reply otherwise you can't earn merit.
Point that though I'm new here but I have experienced in different forum since last 6/7 years.

So, don't take panic just learn how to right quality content.
