Bitcoin Forum

Can somebody please explain what is the merit system is Bitcointalk forum.  On what basis one can get merit and what is the easiest way to get merit. Its very confusing:(

I suggest you to read this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0
its not that hard you just need to read and try to understand it

You can get Merit by simply posting only things that matter on this forum. If you help other member of the BitcoinTalk community with your advices or in other manners, you will get Merit.
The merit system is still at the begining of it's road so it might take a while until people will get more merit. Most of the people either don't know what is it with it either don't give merit at all.

There is no easiest way to earn merit aside from making yourself a high quality person through your post. How would you do that? Just be active on reading in every section, avoid first yourself of creating post if not necessary in order to keep you from making spam posting. This task is very easy and it will only hard if you want to join in the signature campaign, but remember that ambition will not help you for sure to receive merit. Because you will be tempted to create posts no matter it is constructive or not just to have the exact number of activity to become a Jr member and can join in the campaign.

I have great confidence that others on this forum can provide you as much detail as you need on what the Merit System is and how one can acquire merit.

I'm really interested in the comment you made about the Merit System being confusing. Can you talk about this? How is the merit system confusing for you? How could the communication and information available be made more clear or easier to understand for you.

I don't have any say in how the system is structured or communicated but those that do will be able to see your comments, and I think we could all learn from it. There are a lot of people who are new here asking the same question around "what is this?"

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Merit system is created to eliminate the shitposters and spammers in the fourm because the forum has been flooded with these type of people who doesnt post good quality contents,some of these people are account farmers that is why theymos which is the owner of this forum decided to stop spam in the forum.You wont be given merits until you posts good quality contents,so people whom posting low quality contents from the past will be forced to put an extra effort so that they can have some merits.

You have posted a couple of times in this board so It's impossible that you haven't seen the "Newbies - Read before posting" thread  ::)

In short If you didn't bother searching/looking and reading, yes it would indeed be very confusing.

As a newbie, I highly recommend you to read the following topics:
1. Merits & new rank requirements (what you asked for)  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0
2. Unofficial list of bitcointalk.org rules. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0
3. Newbies - Read before posting (made by Lauda to help newbies with useful tips) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1689727.0

Key important ideas for you to rank up:
Be as helpful as possible to help other newcomers.
Be possitively about merit system and its impacts on the forum users.
Be ready to learn new things, new knowledge, new rules of the forum (of course).
Be prepared to stay away from illegal methods to beg for merits (exchanging merits).

Hope it helps and best wishes for you to rank up.

Don't think so much about merit.Just do your duty properly.Read more and more for getting knowledge about crypto world. Solve others problem by sharing your opinion. If your opinion is more helpful,Forum member give you merit.It is a automation system.So post high quality content that'll really help others.

thankyou

Thankyou for you appreciation.

much appreciated thankyou so much

At first you read. Gain knowledge. You can understand everything yourself. In that case, knowing from the person asking yourself is helpful to gain an indication.

To say in simple terms, you get merit points when others find your answer/post helpful and provide you with merit points. By earning merit points, you slowly raise in forum rank. Good luck!

Are there any benefits from gaining merits on your account?
Does this affect my member rank

Yes it does affect your rank. Without merit points you will not get a rank above jr. member. By getting merit points you're getting the ability to give points to other posters and with rank gain the ability to have an avatar and visible signature under your profile. If you don't care about these things you can ignore merit, but keep in mind that it also works as a proof  that your posts are being noticed by other people and that they want to award you with points. If weeks go by and you can't get a single point it says something about your style of posting.

many many thanks to you . it was very helpful

This is great. Thank you so much.

Merit system is introduced to promote quality content on the forum. However, it will take some time to inculcate the habit of sending merits in my opinion. Consider merits like a Facebook like, you are not supposed to like your own posts but if someone likes it then you get the count under your post. There is a limit on the number of outgoing merits, so you have to share your knowledge in the best manner if you are expecting merits from other members.

i think the only easiest way to get merit is to make a constructive post i e s post that will be of benefit to many which will now make them give you merit and you can also be doing social media bounty as the report will also be counting for you as activity....

As a neophyte in this forum I must follow the proper procedures on how to get merit. I need to impress the members of this forum by posting quality and relevant ideas about certain topics. Exert efforts to get things in a proper manner.

I do not like the merit system. I heard that some banyats even if to do "something suspicious." I'm afraid to post the merit, so I do not want to be sent to him. I hope in the future it will be removed. For example, increasing the requirements for points of activity. If the forum will increase the requirements at times 5-10, then I think it will be more loyal to its members  :(

I don't understand, could you clear things up? Are you afraid of being banned for sending merit to others? People who were being given negative trust for sending merit were trading it or meriting themselves with alt accounts. If you share merit with people like a normal person nobody will ban you for it. Don't try to buy/sell/trade it and you'll be fine.
I just gave you 1 merit and believe me, none of us is going to be banned for it ;)  Have fun and don't be afraid to give merit to other people.

yes there are benifits of gaining merit this is very important to your/ours account you cannot increase your rank if nobodies gives you merit.unless if you make a post that is high quality and impormative.

Try to read meta section @theymos and learn how to earn merit. Good luck dude.

thanks for the merit :), but now I began to worry :D. I did not mean that. What if two people give merit in the amount of 10 or more, for example. This can also be considered a violation of the rules. Although it can be considered that the posts of both people were informative and answers were given to each other (although this rarely happens, but still). :)

merit is your need to rank up your account. for example your current rank is jr member. you need to make at least 60 activity and have 10 merits before you reach member rank. and there is no easiest way to earn merit. you need to work for it. you have to make a quality post and if someone appreciate your post they will give you merit. that's the only way to earn merit.

Nicely described about Merit. It is good for bitcointalk thread. Thank you for your explanation but some people which english is not their mother tongue might feel bad (like me). We don't indent to post spams.  Due to lack of english knowledge our post might consider spam.  poor english knowledge people also seeking helps here and if they find any good solution from any posts they saying thanks on posts . they can just say thanks can't write more and can't expect quality content from non english speaking people.

As far as I know, when you have build quality posts you will get merit from people who have merit.

Just sometimes, and mostly merits will come later (might be days, weeks, or even months). However, keep contributing to the forum through high-quality, construtive, informative, creative, helpful posts is the only way (I only imply legally one) to earn merit points and rank up. Good luck, my friend.

Indeed there is now a merit system name, easy gan easy easy, as long as we read a lot of this forum about making useful and suspended writing,
Here is full of education, as long as we read before posting, and understand merit system, surely you can memprolehnya, merit get it from fellow members who meet your post worthy. :)

Honestly, I dont like merit because it seems really hard to rank up. I think it was not given if most of the seniors here were not the reason of shitpostings. They blame the lower rank but I guess they were the caused of implemented merit.

Thank you for this information.It can really helps me a lot to make me grow.

glade to understand merit system. this is wonderfull

Merit system is a upgrading theory of bitcoin-talk. We can get a lots of activity point by  posting anything. Every 14 days we can get 14 activity point by posting nonsense. And this new feature will help to protect upgrade membership of non sense post. As no one will give merit for garbage post. To rank up we must have to post quality content. without quality content we can get maximum jr. membership. To be member we have to get 10 merit. To be full member require: 100 merit, to be sr. member require 250 merit and to be hero/legendary required 500 merit.
And there is only 1 way to get merit. The way is posting quality content to help other members on bitcointalk.
