THIS POST IS MADE FOR NEWBIES AND JUNIORS TO HELP THEM RANK UPHello newbies. I have been reading posts where people are literally begging to award them merit. Some of them could be given 1-2 merits as they had shown the intent and have started posting better quality post when compared to their previous work. But, I have only limited resources and cannot award every single one of them and it is always better to teach how to fish rather than give one.
I am just a month old and got a few without much hardwork. Though I have invested time in getting myself acquainted with the rules and procedures of the forum thoroughly. Always spend some time on Meta with the rules. Half the work is done when you know what you don't need to do on the forum.
I have complied a list of topics which has been collected by bisecting the previous data about Merits generated on the forum.
1)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3093768.0Also check these links as the above thread is very old.

This thread details out which Board has maximum merits along with the number of threads. To make it more insightful the author has also listed all the sub-boards with Merits. A careful analysis would help you better understand which parts of the forum are most likely to award merit.
2)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=recentThis thread is very important as it lists out the merits being given recently. If you go through the list you will find out the people giving maximum merits and on what kind of topics. A careful look and you will know who are the top meriters on this forum. I can easily see those 10-20 people who always award good work.
3)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3046077This thread lists out all the profiles of major Merit givers who have awarded high number of Merits. Impress one of these with your post and you would never need merits again. While there can be scammers in these lists but you can also read the quality posts.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=toptopicsatThis post contains top merited users and posts. I am not sure if the top merited users has users without the airdropped ones? If any one knows about it, please answer.
This thread was created to better strategize your activity in case you want to earn merits. Understanding the previous data can help and you can plan your actions accordingly. Still, you need to make constructive contribution to the forum to earn it.
If you are not able to get Merits after posting quality and targeting the correct forums, I will be listing out a few threads where high level members allow users tosubmit their appeal for merit if they have quality posts.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3048258.0This thread is quite old and I would be checking for more links and will update accordingly.
P.S. I have not created this list so that you can DM and beg for Merits from Merit givers. Such actions will cause more harm than good. Merit begging is frowned upon in BTT world.
All the above threads are not my work and have been linked only for research purposes.
This is a really helpful post, thank you! I am a newbie again but I was a jr member.... I don't use this forum very often but some bounties require you to be a jr member to enable you to take part so it's incredibly frustrating to be going backwards. I plan to wok on my merit and also my involvement. Thanks again
