Title: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: LonelyEcho on December 12, 2025, 04:53:51 PM I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Because I noticed that most of the time those who are here with big titles like Legendary, Hero members get more Merit. I have proof of that. I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit.
And the thread I created has been deleted. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: NotATether on December 12, 2025, 04:58:48 PM Make helpful topics, and people will merit you.
It's that simple. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: Hazink on December 12, 2025, 05:02:25 PM Aside from some people being here earlier before the merit system was introduced, every member started as a newbie and earned themselves up to whatever rank you are seeing them now.
You don't expect to create a topic like this one and expect someone who creates a helpful topic to receive the same equal merit, same way you have proof of legendary and hero members earning more merit that's how if you look deeper you can find lower ranks members who also earned lot of merit.

I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. It will make more sense if you can be more careful with your choice of words, I don't in any way perceive the forum to be toxic to the newbies, there is lot of flexibilities in this community generally irrespective of ranks, you are only being carried away to grow up overnight, Merits are only given out to deserving post anyone deemed it worth meritting, this is my observations and am willing to grow gradually through learning and making more meaningful contribution, don't be in a hurry rather we should keep doing the right thing of course i believe merit will come at it own time.

Because I noticed that most of the time those who are here with big titles like Legendary, Hero members get more Merit. They get more merit because their post quality on average is better than of a newbie. I have proof of that. Give me an example of quality newbie account that has issues getting merit. I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Nope, its never been easier to rank up than it is now. As a matter of fact, its so easy that even shitposters have no big issues reaching higher ranks. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. Write better posts.

Because I noticed that most of the time those who are here with big titles like Legendary, Hero members get more Merit. They've earned it. If you believe your posts, or any newbie posts are worthy of merit, you can request merit source to review your post history to award merits. Either way, users typically give merits to those who consistently or just those who share valuable or post-worthy content, just like some higher ranked members do just like you observed.Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies.

If your thread was deleted it's probably because it wasn't useful. The other threads which you have created that wasn't deleted are kinda good that's why the moderators didn't delete them. To be honest here, you are doing well, keep it up but you also need to improve your posting pattern, that the only way you will get more merits. You don't even need to create a thread before you earn merits, sometimes you get merits from your comments. And the thread I created has been deleted.

If you don't earn, you can't rank up, the majority of Hero ranks and downward all achieved their rank after the merit system was implemented.

This forum encourages newbies to learn and helps seniors to learn more. And helps them share knowledge with each other. You are probably showing more interest in gaining merit. Which will not be good for you. You may not need to explain, today's legends were once newbies. They worked hard, and their contribution to this forum is not less. Here no one is belittled based on rank. Rather, many come forward to encourage those who show interest in learning.Quote I have proof of that. I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. You have no proof. You are spreading confusion here. And the thread I created has been deleted. You should see this thread, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5185736.msg52491458#msg52491458)who has gained the most merit despite being new. The point is not that newbies cannot gain merit, the point is that if you do not gain proper knowledge, and keep writing nonsense, then your reputation will get worse. Write less and read more in the forum. Then you will know how newbies are gaining merit. The most important thing is that no one will look down on you based on your rank. Just stop writing unnecessarily. And be useful to everyone. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies.

It is clearly mentioned in the link above how to earn merit over time. Nothing is impossible, especially nothing can be achieved overnight. For this, patience and proper use of time are required. Keep spending time on the forum with patience, one day we will be able to achieve the Hero Legendary rank. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: Satofan44 on December 12, 2025, 05:23:38 PM Most newbies are fake (alts of existing users or farmers) and ill-intended (shitposting for money), so what do you expect? There are several examples of people earning merit easily, some by being nice and writing useful posts -- others by being mean and writing useful posts. Therefore the conclusion is clear, earning merit is possible if your contributions are good. It has nothing to do with who you are, even if you may be ignored by some merit senders if you are rude.
If you want to cheat the system just farm merit with random contests, many users do it that way. Look through local boards for contests, that is where most of the merit farming is happening.

Post by: Churchillvv on December 12, 2025, 05:40:39 PM It’s not basically toxic but it’s very difficult for newbies to find or do something pleasing in the forum that will attract a good merit because it’s usually seem like there is nothing you would say or do that is new in the forum, the hero members and legendary members probably have seen such happen before.
You can improve yourself as time goes by and find something that you think will amaze people who may have seen a lot already. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: Mrbluntzy on December 12, 2025, 05:56:58 PM At first, you are going to think like that but as you continue to learn, read the forum rule, align with the rules, understand what the forum is all about and follow along, with quality and educative post, you will receive merits. It wl also be a credit for you when you ientify some problems on the community and perhaps suggest good ideas, you will receive merits also for that. The forum is not toxic to any newbie, don't be in a rush for merit, if you make quality post you will definitely receive merit.
If you don't spam, shit post, plagiarize or post only AI craps, you will receive merit, but falling victim to what I have listed out will only have you being put on ignore by members that might have given merit to your post, that will limit you from getting merit even on merit worthy post. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: nutildah on December 12, 2025, 06:47:29 PM You're not a newbie. Just stop lying about everything in an attempt to get sympathy and merits. We've seen it all before and you're not fooling anyone.
An interesting fact is that a newbie guy joined the forum, started posting on the Nigeria local board on the first day, and discovered Buy the DIP, and HODL (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132720.msg65870322#msg65870322) (heaven for account farmers) thread on the same day, and their 2nd post was on that thread. Their fifth post (http://=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg65887507#msg65887507) on this forum is in the Wall Observer thread. Their 11th post on fillippone's thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412657.msg65895359#msg65895359) to be merit assessed, and now their screenshot clearly shows they are from Bangladesh. These things are not adding up. OP tried well pretend to be a newbie. But terribly failed. If these kind of people put half as much time into learning bitcoin as they did learning how to suck up to and manipulate others, they might have actually increased in rank to Hero or Legendary by now. But they choose to be stuck in this vicious cycle of grinding on new accounts, getting exposed as an account farmer, and then starting all over again. Its a very Sisyphean exercise in futility.

I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. Aside from your hunger for merit which the solution to it is making constructive post and adding value to the forum, is there any other way any high ranking member have been toxic to you? Can you give in small detail an example of toxicity you have experienced in the hands of high ranking members since you can into the forum.And the thread I created has been deleted. Most newbies think the forum is toxic because of merit, some will admit it but some won't. When a newbie doesn't make anything constructive but wants merit the believe that the forum is toxic. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: Ambatman on December 12, 2025, 07:54:07 PM I believe the essence of the forum is for discussion not necessarily sharing of merit
When you said toxic, I was expecting something new and interesting. Is it harder for newbies? Yes. And account farmers doesn't really help the case of newbies. Seen people that were generous to newbies got taken advantage of And Merit most time is tied to recognition. And recognition is a ripple effect of quality posts. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: macson on December 12, 2025, 08:27:49 PM Do you think everyone here starts as a legendary or hero member? Everyone here starts as a newbie, just like you and the others. But the reason each person has a different growth rate is because the quality of each account varies. Some contribute more by creating helpful topics, while others post more casually. Those who contribute more deserve more merit because they are quality members.
So, if you want to be like that, make your account more qualified by posting quality posts or threads that are truly helpful. Don't use the excuse that those with titles like Legendary or Hero members can earn more merit; that only proves your incompetence. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: GeorgeJohn on December 12, 2025, 08:49:31 PM The problem of newbies is that they always interested to earn merit but not interested to make educative posts
Sometimes newbies don't preview their article before posting and that has been the basic factor that denys so many of merit from good merit source Some of the newbies doesn't read to understand before responding to a thread, and some don't make research to know if the topic they wants to discuss has already been discussed...they only post anything they few and that's why nobody is meriting them Also improving a writing skill can be an easy tools to earn merit..and also following the rules and regulations and methods of how other people that earn merit is writing can be a tools to earn merit wisely.

I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. It has never been easy for newbies in any forum or organisation. As a newbie you have the duty to understand the rules and regulations of the place you are and also learn the how to grow. It's not new, almost every newbie eager to grow starts with blaming the system. But when they grow in the system they'll understand that nothing is really wrong with the system.And the thread I created has been deleted. Just do your things and learn to follow the system and not blame it. This system has produced so many legendaries from scratch. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies. Post by: Apocollapse on December 12, 2025, 09:41:39 PM I'm surprised to see an user who make 48 posts and earn 6 merits complain if getting merit is hard? how about many newbies who create 200 posts and only earn 1 merit? how many merits you supposed to earn after making 48 posts?
In my experience and my observation, it's harder to earn merit when your rank are getting higher, because they expect you to have higher knowledge or contribution. So, if you can earn merit for making specific post when you were newbie, it might not work when you're a Hero Member. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies.

What you are saying is not a secret, it is a phenomenon which is pretty much true and obvious and people here have learned how to live with it. Heros and legendaries are more likely to get merit than newbies because other heros and legendaries do not want to feed accounts which are made to fulfill ill-intentions, like farming in order to sell accounts later, or feed alternative accounts for people who already have several accounts, etc. The higher the rank in this forum, it becomes easier for one to accumulate merits. That is the way it is and it does not mean this place is toxic at all, it is just a collective way people have adopted here to keep this community from becoming a spam-fest. If you give useful information, you will eventually reach legendary rank. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies.

You are not seeing the forum as being toxic, that's not the right word to use from want you have expressed. You feel exhausted and don't know what to do. You are barely a new account, registered less than 2 months and you are already complaining, I checked your post history and you have received merit in some good post you have made, don't expect every post you make is equal to a merit, this is not some like thing and even it's like that way, not everyone will see your post interesting.

Date registered October 2025 and you have earned 6 merit's within that period of your being active in the forum, I must say that you are among the privilege members regardless of the rank, what you posted that earn you merits some Hero members will post more helpful topic and yet not get merited, a I don't mean to counter your thoughts, but you may be wrong in that assumption that title brings more merit's, just post helpful comments and you get your luck and merit's flows.

The problem is certain merit sources are so easy to con merits out of that all the account farmers would rather kiss their ring than formulate an original thought. "I agree with you. DCA is the best strategy to get the bitcoins. I did 200 push-ups today, climbed 1000 stairs, and got my node running for the 14th day.

I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. Any forum members with good posts, threads deserve to receive merit, and you can receive merit too if you make consistent good contributions for forum community by your posts and threads.Merit is for good posts, if you don't have them, you can not receive merit. When you start out, you are a Newbie, and you will run into various annoying limits. These limits will be reduced to the point where you shouldn't usually notice them after you have participated in the forum for a few weeks. If you are on the forum to talk, then that's all you really need to know about rank. Don't worry about it too much, and you will eventually rank up. If you want to maximize your rank, then you need to increase two statistics which are listed on your profile:
If you make ten thousand posts in a week, your activity will be capped and you will still be a Newbie. If you make ten thousand useless posts over any period of time, you will gain zero merit and you will still be a Newbie. You can rank up only by making good posts consistently. It's quality over quantity. When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting. Quote And the thread I created has been deleted. Useless posts and threads need to be deleted. It's good moderation according to forum rules.1. No zero or low value, pointless or uninteresting posts or threads. [1][e] 2. No off-topic posts. 3. No trolling. Title: Re: I think this forum is toxic for newbies.

I just think that maybe it is quite difficult for us newbies. Can you tell me what I can do to get more Merit. First of all, I suggest you to change your thinking because the forum isn't toxic for newbies and anyone who's a good contributor gets merits and respect that he/she deserves. The members who're ranked as Legendary, Hero, have been on the forum for years and they've contributed a lot and that's the reason they get more merits, but that doesn't mean the newbies won't get any merits. There have been many newbies who got many merits but those are the ones who contributed good stuff on the forum. I suggest you to write good stuff and share your honest opinion and if you can manage to create good and useful threads then do that as well. You'll see that overtime you'll start getting merits. |
