You will need 250 merit point to upgrade. John updated the OP so check the details on the link he posted.

[Kapz786]

Jr Members can no longer have signature links.

Great news this will hopefully lesson the flood of shitposts

Because you only have 1 merit and you need 10. Right at the beginning of the OP of this thread it says:

Ranks

Update on 2/3/18: Merit points are now added
In addition to the activity points, merit points (click for more information) are required to advance your ranking.

[Sagaris]

Does the time of being online affect these criteria?

[Therowlingk2]

Thanks for the explanation, i will active to become legendary 

[InvoKing]

Does the time of being online affect these criteria?

Time being online has nothing to do with activity nor merit.
You can login and just browse the forums without any contributions, your 0 posts will not make you even a newbie.
If you want to progress here, you have to make posts, if you want to pass to member status you have to get in addition 10 merit points by making contributive posts.

Hi, how to increas my activities ?

[zmago]

now there is a merit system, can jr member rank up to member although there is no merit, because for beginners like me it is very difficult to get merit, and have to fight hard to get it.

Thank you

I looked at some of your recent post history, and yeah, if you are posting in crappy threads (bounty, whatever the fuck that is), then it could be more difficult to receive merits.

The new merit system is described in the OP of the below linked thread... .which OP pretty much states that you need 10 merits to rank up from jr member to member status.

Looks like you already meet the activity requirements, you just need to get 10 merits.

sir this was an unexpected move to those who wished to reach full member and also higher ranks but a good way to filter scammers and others as well.. being here since july and bcz of the profession couldnt meet the requirements some how.. would like to really know how can we earn merit system.

None of us really knows how this merit system is going to play out exactly in terms of which posters are going to attract merit; however, there is speculation that quality of posts will go up by necessity of earning merit.  We are still in the early days.  I looked at a few of your recent post, and they seem pretty decent.  Therefore, I gave you one merit based on your mere quantity of posts over recent months.  

On the other hand, you may want to tighten up the quality of the posts with proper punctuation, capitalization, spelling out words rather than abbreviating, and just make sure you read several posts earlier in the thread to be contribute in a meaningful way with substance and possible insight and attempt to contribute to the ideas being discussed in the thread with ideas/facts/logic, and sometimes insightful questions.  

It seems that the more thoughtful your posts, then the better chance that your posts may have in attracting merit.. so getting the first 10 merits might NOT be difficult since you already have several posts out there and you can build upon your contributions... and also I think that it is good to just post within topics and threads that you like and attempt to be genuinely interested, interesting and to have fun with it all, and if you do those things while attempting to provide decent quality within your posts, you will likely attract at least some merit (maybe not as much as you would like ..yet  over time you will likely receive merit, without needing to beg for it, which would not be a good or credible practice).  

Also, once your receive two merits, then you will receive a sendable merit.  You can also possibly increase your credibility in the way that you award smerit - by identifying good post and highlighting those by either quoting them or writing about them or giving them a merit.

Wow, You made it literally easy for me sir.I was looking at something like this throughout and never could find any.But you have given me a crystal clear picture now and happy that u have highlighted where all i need to improvise. thanks again for the merit as well as pointing out where i need to improvise .

just what i was looking for. thanks for explaining.

How can you manage to find this thread but not the sticky right next to it explaining everything you need to know about activity? 

[Yannie27]

Thank you for this informative thread ill keep on reading forum topics  for a more knowledge about bitcoin.

It needs 1.5 month to be a Jr member... Looking forwarding to that.

Not exactly. You only need 3 periods.
You posted in the current period, the next period starts Tuesday 16, 2018 then the third one on Tuesday January 30, 2018.
So if you keep posting in each period and you reach +30 posts by January 30, 2018 you can become a junior member.
(more informations about when periods start could be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12saLhlUoqIdairxzuSPu6EYGrt7FN2lOstO1yDjCEbA/htmlview?pli=1)

Hello,
I am a newbie on the forum. Thanks for this post. I noticed that people get merit points. How is this determined?
