Title: Posts of Old vs Posts of New
Post by: Jadesola on April 09, 2019, 08:15:56 AM
There have been a lot of criticism on posts in recent times by top ranked in the forum,refering to many post as shit,thereby making it look like we have got more quality posts in the past than we have got in recent times,contrary to that,i feels that we have got more quality post now than in the past years,let's say,the last three and half years is the recent years,going through some of the posts of the top ranked,i discovered that,time and chances happened to them all,if it were to be now,it will be more difficult for some of the posts to earn merit then to make $5000 in a single campaign now,though we might claim that we have got some shit posts in the recent times,and that is as a result of too many people coming into the forum all in the name of making money through campaign,but the fact still remain that,we have got some great guys with great post in the recent times than we have got in the past.Seriously,if you bump on some posts,then you want to ask,if the post was written by a newbie,an Hero or a Legendary.no disrespect,just trying to fill the gap and clear some air.Some of our Hero and Legendary have remain true Hero and Legendary.
  Am not been disrespectful like i wrote before,Just to view the opinion of others.

This topic is forum-related and should be discussed at Meta (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0)
Try to move your topic there (or maybe post a new one after deleting this).

Just to clarify things, not all of the hero/legendary members are good at posting or creating good topics, some of them are just focusing on business. So there's a lot of newbies who think it's a good thing to do some one-liner posts. Being fair with each other is a good factor to have a pleasant community, higher-ups can make one-liner posts without being questioned while newbies are being questioned and sometimes receiving red trust without any warnings. I'm not saying that focusing on a business is a bad thing, I don't have any problems with that. I also agree to that scenario where newbies are just focusing on bounties and doing shitposts to finish the bounty, they're the one should receive red trust here.

It's easy to answer your question.
Not beginners and Legendary.
Example:
You go to school in your class there are 20 students, the same age and class are the same as you, so what rank do you get, 10 or 20.
Why is your friend getting a general (1) champion class ranking.

The answer, of course learning and learning so smart.

This is the same as the person at the Bitcointalk Forum, crypto and Bitcoin or other things can be obtained outside the Forum, so when you enter the Bitcointalk Forum all problems or solutions can be solved, thanks to science.

too many people coming into the forum all in the name of making money through campaign
This is literally the only part of your post that I could understand.  I think if anyone is responding to you, they're pretending they read your gigantic wall of broken-English text and comprehended it.  Do us all a favor and learn how to construct sentences properly so that it's clear when one ends and another begins.  And for the love of Beelzebub, please use line breaks so that you don't harm our eyes.

As to the above quote, you're absolutely correct.  I envision billboards on the highways of Asia advertising a way to work from home just by writing--bitcointalk signature campaigns!  And who cares if you don't understand the language you're required to write in?  Nobody will read it anyway!  And if there aren't billboards, there has to be some serious word-of-mouth referrals happening in those countries, because somehow all of them end up here wearing signatures, posting nonsense, and then either complaining about red trust or appealing a permaban.  It's mind-numbing.

Can you give us a TL;DR of your post, OP?

No disrespect to the people I call "New generation of Bitcointalk" like myself but comparing our post now and post of then is a disrespect to the true heros of bitcoin those who believe in bitcoin when bitcoin was nothing. The main reason most of them registered on forum was due to the need to associate with like minds and share idea on how to make the technology what it's today. Yes if you go through some post you would consider them shitposts (based on the rating of quality post today) but guess what then, there was no need to construct your post to impress some meriter. everyone was free to air their views the way they liked. Also then, ranking up was very easy that's why spammers could easily cheat their ways to the top and when most people see such accounts they tend to generalize that they were all shitposters but technically those legendary accounts you can find extreme worthless posts on their post history were all spammers ( and mostly alt accounts).

Even in the discussions been discussed today, you can't compare ours to theirs just as the later users of Bitcointalk won't have to compare thiers either. Although we do still have quality posters that can compete with the best of their time so we aren't doing bad either. Both generations have quality posters and if I were to vote my vote goes to them.

In my opinion, the problem started a few years ago when signature campaigns started up. I'm sure there were worthless posts before that, but they weren't a problem at the time. Now it has gotten better with the merit system, but there are still people posting whatever nonsense that spills out of their brains in order to make money from their signature.

Signature campaigns remain the source of the problem and the forum would be a much better place if they didn't exist. You would have people reading more and posting less.

i feels that we have got more quality post now than in the past years

If we havnt got quality posts in the past the result would be not at it is now !

it will be more difficult for some of the posts to earn merit

It isnt difficult , you have just to improve yourself for posting !

that is as a result of too many people coming into the forum all in the name of making money through campaign

Thats not the result , the reason why the most people come into the Forum and want to make money is that they only have " $$$ " in there eyes , the most of them dont know about blockchain and things i guess.
