What I have learnt so far, my advices for newbies.

[Philipping]

I will learn, collect points and get more knowledge. 3 in 1
it is harder than the past.
The forum is good for making money but you will suffer until you get it, it is not an easy way to profit but needs planning, learning and patience.
I knew the forum a while ago but I had work and I tried to go back after the closure because I knew that digital currencies would be valuable in the future.

Don't know how to sign a message.
Don't know how to get experience with Bitcoin testnet that is the thing they should do at starts.
Don't know how to consolidate their bitcoin inputs to save fees when they are in hurry with bitcoin movements.

How many times they visit the Bitcoin Technical Support child board?

This complaints sound as if I'm the one you complaining to, I can't lie, I haven't visited Bitcoin Technical child Board. I can't even sign a damn message, I don't even have an experience with Bitcoin Testnet technically. This is shame on me. I admit my mistake.

Excellent in work serious efforts or quality posts
Do a thorough research to get valid points, giving no room to execuses. And excellent work will contain only authentic information. With this, some smerit givers will merit your posts. If your post is not merited, you will still be confident to report it in a thread created for unmerited posts.

I think it is not about the excellent in work, but do serious efforts or make quality posts. Excellent in work means extraordinary efforts, in fact merits not only for extraordinary efforts or exceptional posts. But as long as you can make useful or valuable efforts/posts, then people may give you merits. However, I suggest to not think too much about merits as the focus should be on how to improve quality posts or do more useful efforts to the forum. We also can make helpful things, then people will thank you with merits if they want.

Very meaningful writing you wrote. The text is so well-arranged that it is easy for newcomers to understand. I think it's a big deal to write neatly and pay attention to the grammar. No one can easily understand your twisted or messy words. Write in a few words but highlight the main meaning. Your writing will be successful only when your audience understands it very easily.

This forum is for active people only, and all lazy and inactive members will not be able to achieve anything from it because until we can obtain a rank within the forum we need to work hard, accurately and carefully in addition to that we must be patient as possible and we must always write useful and valuable posts

Well, the forum is open to everyone, and there are many that come here to ask a question and do not participate much further than that. That is their prerogative, and not being active is certainly not an equivalent to lazy by any means. People will invest more time here depending on their likes, interests, available time and objectives (if any), and that leads to a wide spectre of forum members, both active and inactive, both contributive and non-contributive, with disregard to the amount of time they spend here.

Now if we centre the spotlight on Rank, then yes, one is going to need to be pretty active here to build-up to one of the higher ranks, but that on its own is certainly not enough, and what matters most is the content you create.

This forum is not a primary school to teach writing, make arguments, teach to ask, here it comes to debate and in that debate you learn; that learning gives you the north of the user that as a person you really are.

A forum, before anything else, is being a community, trying to raise a standard of how a user should be, it is contradictory.
It is cliche, but the rules of the forum are what should really define its behavior within the community.

In reality you do not help other users, make useful contributions or participate in the post forum because there is a standard to follow, or the merit awaits you, you do it because you really like it. The one who does it to pretend will surrender and leave, or simply in the achievement of his objectives, his priorities will be differents. But that's why he deserves to be judged or qualified. ( ! - ? )

Being in this forum is really simpler than it seems, just express yourself, be yourself. Whether or not the community appreciates your stay here, believe me it is no different than your offline "social" life, so it shouldn't affect you.

Introduction
I have noticed some new members on this forum are unable to earn merits, merits are important as they are used in ranking up from brand new member to legendary, most new members are unable to rank up because they did not posts quality contents, there are certain hidden things  but not hard to know about this forum to helping in ranking up. So, I decided to use this time to tell you some of these.

Before you can be qualified to earn merits on this forum you need to possess certain qualities, bitcointalk is not for everyone but for quality members, quality members are those that contribute to this forum in one way or the other, as a newbie that needs to rank up, you need to contribute, you need to have excellent knowledge about bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies and others sections pertaining to the forum, with this you need to posses these qualities:

Diligence
Even, without hardwork nobody can make it in life, some people are just here for money and got nothing because they do not know the forum is about learning and contributing knowledge, all they know is how to get money forgetting life is one step after the other. This forum are not for lazy people but for hardworking people, today can be tough but tomorrow will be better.

Patience
If I am not patient, I can not get to the full member position because I earned nothing but only posting on the forum, people only thinking about the bitcoin part but not about the contributing parts, you have to be patient because signature campaigns are not for newbies and it takes time before ranking up.

Believing in opportunities the forum can bring
This will be your fuel to make quality posts. I believe opportunities, but opportunities runs towords people that work for it. Work hard, be patient and opportunities will come, this is how someone can be one of the established members of this forum.

Admitting to corrections
Newbies are newbies and should admit to corrections,  I thought I knew all when I joined this forum but later knew I have known nothing, there are people here that read, sleep, wake up and everything they like doing is bitcoin and crypto related and for many years, that is why I always admit what high ranked members say and I later noticed they are always right, especially the legendary members.

Learning about the high ranked members
This is so important, learn what highly ranked members and merit sources do comment about, knowing how they comment and what and what exactly they comment, if you post or comment to posts like them, they will like your post and merit it.

Optimistic
This helps me a lot, I know with patience and hardwork I will get there one day, always thinking of better tomorrow, I have aims and goals of joining this forum and I know it will be done because I aim high and so you can do also.
 

How to rank up
Newbies do complain about one thing, that there posts are not merited, some will sign up all to ask how they can earn bitcoin or money, instead asking about the purpose, the aims and objectives of the forum rather than how to earn bitcoin and merits or to become a lengedary. Before newbie can earn bitcoin through signature campaign here, he needs merit to rank up gradually, and there are three main reasons your posts can earn merits.

Learning about the forum
The first step to earning merit is to learn about how the forum works, knowing what kind of posts can be merited, also know other things about the forum. Checking about merited posts is a prerequisite to earning merits because checking merited posts gives more information about how authentic and excellent the posts merited are, this really helped me.

Giving authentic information
No spamming, no plagiarism, no falsification of information to prove a point or write up,  no misinterpretation of valid points, reading from a legit and right source are requisites to earning merits, your write up and replies must be constructive, coherent, free from grammatical blunders and typing errors, it should be qualitative and useful.

Excellent in work
Do a thorough research to get valid points, giving no room to execuses. And excellent work will contain only authentic information. With this, some smerit givers will merit your posts. If your post is not merited, you will still be confident to report it in a thread created for unmerited posts.


Conclusion
You will have to work hard because this forum are not for lazy people, many newbies not getting ways to rank up because all they think about is to make bitcoin, but this forum main aim is to learn and contribute to learning which is the requisite to ranking up and earning from signature campaigns, that is why the most frequent saying of highly ranked members to newbies is that this forum is not about making bitcoin or money but about learning and contributing to the forum what you have learnt and experienced about bitcoin and other things pertaining to the forum.

The lazy brain is the devil's treasure. Nothing good comes out of a lazy brain. If you want to move your account to a better position then you have to write a good topic. Write your posts with good quality. If the rank of ID increases, you will be able to earn good income from here. Thank you for writing because newcomers will benefit a lot from reading this article of yours.
