Trust can be obtain once you made a good deal like escrowing. They will give you feedbacks  and good trust.
Merits can be obtain if members like what you have posted, you will see a merit on the right side thats the button for us to give merits to constructive posters.

You can get merits through quality posts but not all posts will be merited as per the current situation,because there are only 49 merit sources so it is hard for them to see you quality posts.
So you can collect 10 quality posts of yourself and post it on meta section then they will give merit if it is quality enough.

Trust can be obtained through trading,managing campaign but never ask anyone for trust feedbacks it is against the forum rule.

Wrong. IIRC There are undisclosed number of merit sources as posted my Theymos here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0
But I guess its easy to find out over the days and postings by the merit sources.

Merit was introduced to reduce the number of shit postings and the account level farming going on in the forum. The the more active and constructive your posts are the more they will be merited. Trust on the other hand speaks for itself. The better trust you have the more trusted you will be on the forum. Just go along with the flow of the forum and eventually you will be trusted and merited. Don't beg for it whatsoever

Merit is used for the low ranks to encourage them posts in high quality but its also applicable to the high ranks. If someone found your post to be informative, you will earn it.
Trust is used to give feed back if trade is successful or a member is a scammer.

Trust and merit are earned so yes they are both important.

To get Merit you should improve your post quality and if anyone find out your post is good enough and helpful they'll give merit for your post .

Beside if you want to get positive trust I think you should be a truthworthy member in this forum, fight against cheater using alt account, scammer, ponzi,....and help people solving there problem, I think it's the best way to get positive trust and when you get green trust you'll get merit much easier then normal

Owh,sorry for that.I thought we have to collect our posts then post on meta section to get merits.But it is to become the merits sources and then we have to find the quality post of someother as well,because that is the main job of merit source.Find quality posts and merit them.

How to get the merit you have to make quality posts and not spam, and to get trust you can make transactions in this forum so you can get trust

Bro most of the signature campaigns not accepting the post making on the meta section. Then how the members who is working in the campaigns will be comfortable in that. Merit source people are on the march to come here. Then we all people have to depend on them I think in future.
The merits we have now is the onetime set amount under our account. Hope as theymos expected everyone will distributed to the quality posts. I personally finds the coin analysis and technical related posts getting more merits than other posts.
I do not agree that your point meta is the only source for getting merits.

Well basically your trust rating and merit points here are important first you cannot rank if you don't have merits, and for your trust rating you can't afford to get red trust because you will be judge easily if you have it, better to start posting a quality one for.

I have other questions about merit, if I meet the required activity for Hero Member which is 480 activity. Do I need to gain 250 merits by default or I really need to receive it from someone who likes to give me merits by doing quality posts?
What if I do not get any merits until I got 480 activity so this will conclude that I will be stuck in my rank as senior member?

Trust and merit are earned so yes they are both important.

Still, very confusing about it because already people who has negative trust need not bother about their merits, mostly people consider only trust score acquired by him.

Thank you for opening this thread, I have been looking for answers to those questions as well. Now my questions have been answered partly.
I will like to know if ranking has any effect on merit and trust?

Trust is given to someone when you have transactions with that person and if you have successfully transacted with him/her then you have the option to give him/her trust. It would be a reference then to other people if that person is trustworthy or not. The more trust you have then the more people would be willing to have transaction with you. Regarding merits, it is a newly implemented rule by the admin wherein you need a certain number of merits before you can rank up. Take a look at this thread for more information regarding merits. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0

You also need to get another 250 merits from someone or from the merit sources if you want to rank up to hero member otherwise you will be stay at the current rank if you not able to get that 250 merits.And it is going to be very hard to get that atleast you need another 6 months even if you are quality poster.

You are right,if you can't get you cant rank up that i the beauty of the new ranking system and it is going to restrict the account farmers and shitposters from ranking up.But it is going to get hard the merits because there are only small amount of merit sources available now.But maybe we have changes in the merit requirements to rank up in the future said by theymos.

For merit there is only one way - be constructive and be helpful.
If you repeat what others already said probably no one will send you merit.
On trust it depends. You will be negative tagged for scamming, cheating, spreading malware and all other unethical behavior. You have to deserve green trust because it means people can trust you.

Just do constructive and high quality post everytime. If some members like what you have said or if your post helped them a lot, they can give you merits. Its like helping other people  by providing good quality post

[Flickkk]

Exactly it is like higher the quality higher the chances of getting merit. And this merit will now be required and useful for moving up the ladder to success. By success I mean to move rank up in this forum. This will also help you to get the good rates when you join any of the signature or bounty campaign and would be paid accordingly. So keep improving and keep learning so that the quality will keep improving for those whose first language is not English.
