Bitcoin Forum

I have almost forgotten about that.
During recent days, when I saw the topic of CryptopreneurBrainboss (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1052091), namely Another win for the merit system. Thank you LoyceV (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5098486.0), who got promoted to a Full Member rank. The topic reminds me that I was ranked up weeks ago.  ;D

I joined the forum last year, then got stucked at Junior Member when the merit system launched on 24th of January 2018.
After a very long journey, less than one year (we have come closer to the one year anniversary of merit system), eventually I was a Full Member since December.
At the day merit system launched, I felt something like 'Oh no, I will got stucked at Junior Member or Member for years'. Fortunately, I have made my initiatives with appropriate approaches to improve myself at first, then contributed to the forum. Consequently, months later (months, not days), merits come to me automatically.
In a word, everyone can rank up with merit system. It takes time, but it is possible and we all can rank up, except Spambies.

Looking at patrol, it is clearly that spamming endemic has still been there, but at least it has been reduced at somewhat extents.
In addition, Spambies (most of them) got stucked at their deserved lower-ranks.

My topics:
1) Time Series Analysis on Distributed Merits in the forum (daily, weekly, monthly) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5069140.0)
2) Available courses on Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology from colleges and Universities (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4686783.0)
3) Time Series on monthly statistics of forum (new users, new topics, new posts) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5071903.0)
4) Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100307.0)

My plan in the year 2019:
- Mastering skills to use data dumps from Piggy.
- Getting promoted to a Senior member.
- Opening a give-away sMerits topic for lower rank users someday when I ranked up to a Senior Member.

I thank to all sMerit senders. All your sMerits made me happy and known that I have been on the right direction.

Thank you.
I am non-native English speaker. Honestly, it is too hard to fully understand what you expressed.
I think you should improve your English, and compose better thread [both vocabulary, grammar, punctuation] or I have to improve my English, instead (if I am wrong).  :D

Honestly - neither of you are ace, but at least op is trying, the other bloke sounds like a drunk at a bar..

Keep up the learning OP, your language isn't perfect but we can see the effort compared to your early posts and many of us appreciate that over the standard bounty shit we see here. Well done and keep at it

I don't think this is a nice way to encourage another user to improve on his/her command of English. The forum should be more friendly and users should also consider the feelings of others.

Congrats OP.


Certainly. However, I hear some of them went as far as buying "quality post" in order to get merits, and after that they'll resort back to spamming. It's impossible to stop, but in the long run I believe quality posters will definitely get what they deserve and cheaters won't be able to reach that point (unless they buy an account).


Or you should have a thick skin. Don't take everything too personally, use it to improve yourself (either criticism or anything else). If you can't do that, just put someone on ignore.

Congrats mate I'm glad I remembered you of something. About your goals they look interesting and achievable and love the fact you'll be giving other lower users that their post get missed a chance to rank up through your giveaways. I did a thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5091772.msg48991067#msg48991067) on setting of goals if you haven't uploaded yours there, be my guest.

Onces again congratulations we're the new generation of bitcointalkers 😂 Self-made full members next step Snr member.

I will consider about my objectives this year and will join your topic later.

Thank you. We have been on the same boat towards Senior Member rank.

The fact is I don't really think that Spambies have enough patience, knowledge, and skills to make quality threads.
Why?
Most of them joined the forum with their original purposes to earn easily free money. They simply have not cared about knowledge, and experience in the forum, in aspect of constructive sides.
Over time, they have been spambies in their mind, and maybe unable to make quality threads in any case.
Of course, they probably tried to make pseudo-qualitied threads, which do not make sense at all.

Sure, I will not give up and will keep up my current works.

Congratulations. That's great. It is an accomplishment. I would like to be a full member one day if it happens.
Best of luck to you.

Well, the least I could say is congrats and keep it always up and steady in progress. Cheers!

Congrats OP. You really have created decent threads.


Why you are waiting for another rank promotion, you can do it today.



I see, you did not sent any merits in last 120 days, your sMerits might made someone else happy, might tell that user ,that user is in right track.

I would like to let you all know that I have updated the OP with link to Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100307.0)

Enjoy it and contribute with stories you known.
