Title: Short story: A Journey of Newbie Become a High Rank Member Since Merit System Post by: masulum on November 26, 2019, 02:19:14 PM Short story: A Journey of Newbie Become a High Rank Member Since Merit System Motivation for newbie I see a lot of newbies afraid they are can't be ranked up in this forum. The first factor is "merit" system. Many newbies starting to post with questions about "how to earn merit?". Is wrong to ask about that? No, it's not wrong. Newbie register on this forum just seeing about merit on their profile and start to ask about that, before reading FAQ: Everything you need to know about forum 'activity, account ranks and merit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2766177.0). Why it happens? Because (IMO) many of them don't look at Meta board first, and prefer to get instant answers and decide to create new topics on Beginner and Helps board. Do I Need To Become an Expert, to Be a Legendary and Got Merit In This Forum? This question comes from my mind on beginning 2018 when the merit system started (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0) by Theymos. I think, I will not become a "Full Member" and will stick on "Member" status during that year and thinking if my merits was receive it's just a lucky gift. I never think about becoming "Hero Member", what I think always about impossible, impossible and impossible to become higher level in this forum. Why I think impossible?
There are many reasons, why I think wouldn't become a Hero member like today. Hero Member position just a dream for me in the past. But, everything is change on this year. I can be a Hero member from nothing. Lots of my post deleted by moderator and mostly from the local board. Moderator deleted my post because OOT or even tagged as spammers. When I think already create a good post, it still deleted with some reason. ;D From that story, I try to make a good post with my limited knowledge about Bitcoin, security, privacy, trading strategy. I make few threads, few posts with my knowledge and share it in local board, I am happy many members help me to learn something new about crypto, trading strategy and anything related to this forum and crypto world. With this limited knowledge, I share it and some of members happy with my post, as a gift from my contribution, they give me some merit. In conclusions, Do I need to be an expert, to be a legendary member and got merit in this forum? The answer is. No, you don't need to be an expert to be a higher rank in this forum. What you need just starts with these little things
