Punctuations, proper paragraphing, grammar, lexical proficiency etc are all of additional benefits to a user, it definitely makes whatever you write appealing to readers and makes it easily understandable and appreciated.
But even if you do not have an impeccable command of the English language, it's never a barrier or a hinderance, as long as you can write out what anyone with even a primary school education can understand, then you can operate on the forum without any barrier whatsoever.

I have given you quite a few merits if think, and I'm sure you'll earn more from me as long as you continue doing good on the forum as you have been doing for weeks now.

Can it be anything more than just greed, there are some scams that are probably more difficult to detect than some, but the moment it comes to send X to receive Y, anyone who falls for that was just trying to ride their luck and double their money quickly, even though their heart must have muttered to them of how impossible it is. How can a giveaway still request for you to give to them first, what then makes it a giveaway  
TBH, I don't!

I do not think Spurs will be eager to sell one of their best talents in Eriksen to a premier league team(Manchester united), that will just be strengthening their fellow premier league rival, and spurs really know how to do business, so they will know better.

Now the deal must be wrapped up this January, the more it lingers, the more the possibility of Eriksen going out for free becomes possible, he'll be a huge addition to conte's inter Milan as they chase the seria A title after so many years drought, but imo I do but think Eriksen will suit their style of play(every player is bound to adapt anyway).

If Tottenham continue playing the way they have been doing in their last games, then this one wouldn't even be any test for Liverpool, Spurs must improve their game all round to take anything from that game. The only thing spurs fans can hold on to in that game is the fact that Mourinho is usually a tactical genius in this sort of games, and he would be scratching his head on what tactics to use in order to stop Liverpool, he usually comes up with something, let's see if he does.
This is really unbelievable, klopp is building one of the best teams in premier league history, and if they can achieve the feat of going 49 games unbeaten, then they themselves have created their own history, up next is Spurs, let's see if they can stop them.

I do not know if we bitcoin enthusiasts are to be excited about this news, I don't really think bitcoin was ever designed to be kept or saved in a bank, that a is centralized system imo, we are supposed to be in total control of our funds, that is why we use a bitcoin wallet and not a bank.

That's quite an exaggeration, and Manchester United are in 5th place and are just five points behind 4th place Chelsea, that isn't too far behind for them or irrecoverable in their battle for a top four slot, they are still well in it, even though I personally do not think they'll make it into the top four(there are still a lot of games and a whole lot could happen though).
Liverpool are favorites against any team in the epl this season, except maybe city when it's at the etihad. Sheffield are a good side, I'll love to see their approach in this game, defend and try to hit on the break, or be bold and just play their game.

I do not know exactly what happened there, but from what I could think of, it may be a repetitive thread and leaving it open would just create so much spam replies, but the thread may be a good read, so locking it is probably the best option as it'll still be open for users to read, but locked to prevent spam.

Looking at the way Bayern Munich have bought players from their rival Dortmund in the past, then I wouldn't be ruling this one out from happening, though if Dortmund are smart enough, they'll stop selling their star players to their rivals, how can they compete if they keep doing that.

However the cause of Haalands decision to move to Bourussia Dortmund is, the fact remains that he is now officially their player, and I just hope all the hype/media attention surrounding him wouldn't affect him, the boy has got some talent, so let's get over the transfer/dad/agent fee and see how quickly he'll adapt in Germany and how well his game will improve at Dortmund.

Well they didn't, I watched the game and city imo dominated this match from start to finish, except probably in the last ten minutes or so, after Bravo gave the ball away and Everton pulled one back, they put city under a little bit of pressure after that, but they were never decisive to grab an equalizer. Well that leaves Carlo Ancelloti with his first epl defeat on his return back.

Arsenal are leading united 2 nil, Arteta is on his way to his first win as Arsenal manager and it's indeed a big win for the young manager, I hope he can build on this as Arsenal seek to come up the table.

Yes, OP needs to improve the quality of his English for effective communication, the forum has helped many users on that and with s little effort OP can be one among the long list.

More importantly for OP to understand is that it's better advising others on what to do, to become good forum members when you have achieved something for yourself on the forum. When you have contributed to the forum in one way or the other and you try to educate others, it's appreciated, but when you have not, you wouldn't be taken seriously.

Talk about The-devil
You're already ripe for the member rank, you're just held back now by the required activities, so it's just a matter of time before you achieve that also, and with the good speed at which you're moving on the forum, you'll become a full member soon enough.

Congratulations, and do not slow down on your efforts, do not get complacent,do not rest on your laurels, just keep doing what you're doing right now and even more.

As we go about writing out our goals, let us also not forget that they wouldn't be achieved if you do not work for it, it's not about declaring them, it's about doing so and putting something close to a hundred percent effort to make sure that they all come to fruition at the end of the year, or maybe fee months to the end.
my 2020 goals
1) Firstly on real life matters, I'm in my final year in the university, so I hope to successfully graduate this year, and also complete my research project work, which I made numerous references to the bitcoin/blockchain technology
2) I'll also hope to rank up to senior member, and maybe hero member before the year runs out
3) I will definitely take few steps into day trading, I'm somewhat a hundred percent hodler, I'll try out other options, wisely though.
4) Lastly, I just want to enjoy another 365 days on bitcointalk forum, a really wonderful place to be in.

I'm not really good in creating a website(though I'll make enquiries)but I can also help in other ways. How about starting a new thread, you could probably get a forum user who can get this problem solved, don't you think.

It will indeed be fun, and it will be a nice test on who really has in depth knowledge of some of the policies used in and around the forum, and also it would trigger users to find out more than they already know about the history of the forum.
I'm sure there will be a lot of high ranked users that'll be willing to assist you in this, coming up with possible questions is one way they can be of help, giving out merits to users who performed excellently is another way, etc.
I'm sure they will, it all sounds interesting, so why not. Happy new year to you mate.

Op is maybe getting too excited about the next halving, you must understand that things may not also go quite as smooth as you're envisioning it, if you're investing, you must still be wise enough as to prepare for both sides of the coin: if it's a profit or a loss.

I wouldn't be holding forever, and I hope no one holds forever, we all should have an opportunity to have to make some profits from our investments and use them for our daily benefits at least when we're still alive  . Happy new year to everyone by the way.

He deserves credit not just for that goal, but for his contributions to Chelsea this season, that's his 13th epl goal of the season if i am not mistaken, so many didn't even expect him to hit double figure let alone score that much in just the first half of the season. At the start of this season Giroud probably thought he'll be Chelsea's main man upfront, but Tammy's form is doing well to keep him on the bench, I would not be surprised if Giroud leaves this January.
Arteta is having a tough run of fixtures, it'd have been better for him facing weaker teams at least in his fist few games. Losing to Manchester United would leave him with 1 point out of a possible nine, that'll be a really bad start for him, he needs to do business in the transfer market starting next month.

Merit giveaways are good and AFAIK aren't frowned at, but for you to start a giveaway, you need to be a user with quite a lot of smerits or best a merit source, you've been doing very well lately on the forum I must say, and it's great. You've earned 55 merits, that should give you about 27 smerits to give out, but you've sent out about 13 in the last 120 days(which is really good), that leaves you with less than 15 smerits, I'll advice that before you start a merit giveaway, make sure to have at least sufficient amount of smerits, it'll encourage many users to participate.

@Nakamura12, I made this topic few days back: Possible red tag offences if you aren't out of smerits, you can review it.

OP you need to be careful, if you really have that amount and want to start a company as you claim, you wouldn't want just anyone to pm you on it, because for sure more than half the people you'll receive pm's from will be scammers.
Also users should be careful when someone comes up with this kind of story, majority of the times, they turn out to be the scammers themselves.

If you want to start a company or whatever, why dont you talk to a lawyer, or maybe a business owner, family members etc, not any random person on this forum you don't even know the part of the world they are in

I get your point, but its not necessarily drifting into the hands of the rich, every and anyone who earns something in real life, no matter how little can have an investment portfolio, for sure some portfolios are hell fatter than others, and some will just grow out of satoshi's till its something reasonable, but the honest fact still remains that anyone can benefit from it, it's just a matter of patience, and starting, no matter how small the start seems at the beginning.

I don't quite fancy hoarding smerits to distribute them to a particular board via a giveaway(do not take my word for it, you can do what you wish with your Smerits), but for the love of God if everyone hoarded their smerits and saved them for giveaways on some boards then you wouldn't even have any smerits for your own giveaway on the Romanian board.
