Like TryNinja said, you won't lose anything but it's worth mentioning that in your current case (activity = posts), If your posts get deleted, you'll lose activity and possibly your rank.

Why is it very hard to get merit on bitcointalk. I have been trying to participate in several topics and discussion but I have not gotten even a single merit. Sometimes it makes me feel depress

There's an easy fix/solution for that = Don't/never expect receiving something that's subjective (merits).

Almost all of your posts are in the Altcoin section, 2/3 of these posts are for joining bounties so It make a lot of sense. Why would anyone give you merit for posting your participation?

Besides, don't expect much in the altcoin section in general, people don't even even read posts there.

I do agree with most of your comments. But I must say getting merits as a newbie or a Jr member with even 200 activity is very very difficult. There must be a system put into place that would allow users with 50 to 100 activity to gain 1 merit point for doing so up until they reach 500 activity which would mean they earn between 10 to 20 activity points and in doing so, they will hopefully merit another member who has a good point they have made or a good post they have created. Your points are right but if you look closely at this thread the only members that have received rewards are those who already are full member to legendary and only a hand full of other members have received them. Most members with 1000+ merits act like kings and queens of bitcointalk and rarely give out coins to the average user unless they are a friend or something or another. Of course they have every right to do so because they have earned the points and have worked hard for them in most cases but see for yourself, check other posts and threads. I'm not attacking legendary members or anything of that nature but the proof is in the pudding. Check for yourself.

Have a look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusersat and then look at the post histories of the accounts you find there.
People award merit to posts that they find useful or informative. You might need to be here for some time and put a lot of effort into learning about Bitcoin before you are in a position to write anything that is likely to be viewed like that.

Never ask for merit; just read more and more.   Read financial news relating to crypto / bitcoin.  Increase your knowledge level by reading in and outside the forum.
After getting  knowledge; use this for the benefit of yourself and for the benefit of others.  Try to solve the problem asked, issues raised by any member.   Your positive work will definitely pay you something.

[Luke_Turner]

I came to this forum to learn more about bitcoin and all the other cryptocurrencies. Its cool that they have all these different types of ranks and that you can monitor your progress and compare it to others as well. I guess to be a Hero or Legendary means that you are suppose to have more knowledge and experience than the newbie. So it is always good to check the rank when seeking advise on this forum. are there any benefits involved if you have a higher ranking. where can I find out more about this. This forum is  a good place to find lots of useful information in making decisions.

Thanks, very interesting post, but it is very hard to get Merit

Thanks, very interesting post, but it is very hard to get Merit

If you have to say that it's hard to earn merit here, then you never will.

There are so many threads dedicated to teaching you how to earn merits. All you need to do is look for them and follow the advice given.

[vphasitha01]

Thanks, very interesting post, but it is very hard to get Merit

But not impossible. There is no shortcuts or easy methods for gaining Merits. This is my experience that I shared when I was Newbie, I hope it will helps you. Just be helpful for other forum members and make some extra effort before you post something.
