Newbies/Jr members please don't beg for merits.

What a shame for those newbies who are begging for merit without doing something to earn it.

Right now, we really need a much more effective user here, those who can share knowledges, thoughts, ideas, information, and etc, effectively.

If you will only beg for merits then you should change your mindset. It is not that easy to earn merits that's why other users are doing their best so that they can earn the merits that they deserve. This forum are now composed of newbies who are lazy enough to learn and understand why we have a community like this.

It also happened to me that I was getting private messages from newbie members asking me to give them merits.
That tells me 2 things, that these are members who don’t think they have the knowledge or experience with which they can contribute to the forum and help other members and secondly they obviously came here for earning opportunities.

I as a new member is very grateful for this direction. This prompted me to find something very useful and worthy of discussion in the forum.

Post count and merit means nothing.  Don't be fooled by either.  Both can be gamed.

IMO, registration date is most important and provides the most credibility.

It's not hard to get merited on this forum, instead of begging which I'm sure you will get nailed for by mean members who can insult everything that passes their way just make sure you contribute and help others, I believe that those asking for merits from others believe it's so hard to get merit but it's not

Credibility towards what?

Account registration date per se does not lead to anything. There are hundreds of old accounts that just spam the forum, just as there are hundreds that wakeup years later, still bearing only a few posts under the belt, and still lacking any shed of being savy or trustworthy.


On the topic of merit begging, it does not really seem to be a volume based trend, and I’ve very seldom seen it happen via PM (experience will of course vary from one person to another). There are quite a few threads that facilitate earning a couple with an ounce of effort, besides regular posting, which probably reduces the temptation to ask for it on a higher scale.

Sure it's not. But not all time though 😂😂i have an experience concerning that. But i really thing the best is just to ignore ranking aspect of the forum. It will come at its perfect time. The moment you're thinking you're due for ranking, you will start commenting on all posts just because you want to be recognized even when u have no idea what the post is all about. I witness that in my native group when we're speaking pidgin English (which is totally different from the English you know) an Arab came from no where and wrote only what God knows 😂

If you have the mindset of earning merits for the sole purpose of ranking your account to join campaign signatures, then receiving merits would be significantly difficult. But if you have the mindset of contributing in the forum by sharing your knowledge, experience, or expertise in a certain subject about cryptocurrencies, then people would appreciate your post which would garner you merits.

Begging for merits would lead you nowhere. You would just contribute to the spam and people would avoid your post and just move on. Instead of chasing merits, contribute something worth-it and merits would be the one chasing you.
