Merit Requirements too difficult to JR. Members

[Silvermist]

Actually earning merit points is kinda hard especially for beginners. It really requires them double effort to learn more, for them to come a good quality post and have merit points. But in some way, it teaches everyone to love and understand fully with the heart the whole cyptocurrency, so even a beginners can know a lot and used for the new merit system.

  I believe that a current merit system will jot be able yo attack new comers unfortunately it has a fault with the users them selve who have too much glud fovthe forum and then there are other threads about merit there are many more concern about a system or a forum should be posted on meta not here and this is a bitcoin discussion then you still have been familiar with but need to try to do a proper next time this the new  member and complained about it for all there is no choice really.should be follow on a system and for a forum sake as well and before all get amount of merit to get as menbim rank I will not find it difficult to all have a perseverance and wagerness to create and contributed well into the forum provide time in new system and each of them should be in good standing .

Nothing good will happen to you if you post this kind of thread that encourage others to post quality post and earn merits from other people, 80%of readers will just poke you and discouraged you! I wish there is a free page where in we can just say good luck! But I'll just do that in Twitter. Anyway good luck earning merits from others, expect to earn ten merits in six month!

Merit requirements are too difficult for people who posts useless content, It's not about ranks. Whether you are newbie or legendry, if you deserve some merit point, you will get it, even if you feel that your post seems to be a high quality and you didn't get yet any merit point on it, there is some member that can review your post and award you some of them.

I think Theymos was quite smart in setting the merit levels that he did. A new member doesn't need merit to rank up for at least 10 weeks, and that should give him time to learn about the Bitcoin economy, and the operation of the Bitcoin Talk forum, if he is serious about acquiring knowledge about Bitcoin.

If you're join this forum and expect for merit than this forum is no longer same like old time, you can do nothing except ADAPT !

This forum is great and I won't be surprise if more people getting interest to visit the forum from time to time but as for now, it's a bit challenging !

Yes, Bitcoin is a bit challenging right now because of merit system, yes it is not like before in signature campaign that you just need to be active from time to time and you just need to reply to a forum so your account will rank up. Now in merit system you need to post a quality a high quality rather, so your account will rank up, but still if your post was really a great and quality how many bitcoin user will propably notice it? Or if they able to notice it you will have low percentage of recieving merot from them and i think that is one of dis advantage of merit system. I am not againts the merit system because it really improved the quality, but it really defficult for those new here in bitcoin.

Here is my post regarding to your problem. I hope you find it helpful mate. There are some links for you to get some Meris there.

And kindly spread this for the sake of the other fellow newbies.

Imagine, if you are now already struggling to become a Member then how much more when you are aiming to become a Senior Member like me. But don't feel discouraged, take it as a challenge and use it for motivating yourself to make better posts.

Stop asking for merits because there's no assurance that you will received one. Just continue making quality posts and hope that it will be noticed by others but you could also try to push your luck on the Services where others offer free post reviews.

Merit requirements too difficult not just to JR. Members but also to other members who want to be promoted also, I really felt sad and discouraged about this MERIT REQUIREMENTS that they are imposing in this forum because all LOW RANKING MEMBERS like us will never have the opportunity to promoted a higher rank anymore because who do you think will spend their time reading our posts and then giving us a MERIT? everybody in this forum are busy doing their own thing so having a MERIT is next to impossible thing. This is just a big discrimination for low ranking members which denies them the opportunity to be promoted.

[GDragon]

That is true, some of people here said that we are late comer because of this system but we can do it as an motivation to learn more and improve our self. Let`s start our journey and achieve our goal together not for our self only but for the bitcoin community. Have a better future for us!!!

Looking at your post history, I think you have tried writing constructive, high-quality threads in order to receive merits, but you didn't get them.
In my opinion, your problem maybe you didn't put creative ideas into your recent posts.

Creativity is one of the most interesting factors that can catch attention of higher-ranked users, who are readily to send you merits if they think your threads deserved.

[popomaru]

I think so too, it is too difficult.
I have done translation work and SCAM warnings, etc but I have never gotten it.

[Mind Control]

I find it funny when I suddenly bumped into this thread. To think that I proposed the required Merit to become member be increased to 25 Merits

You idiots just don't realize how shitty your English is.  That's the main reason you're not getting merit. 

If a fluent speaker such as myself finds your posts to be meritless, what do you think the rest of the pajeets (if they even read your posts) are going to think?  They're giving all their merit points to alt accounts and friends anyway--which will earn those fuckers red trust, and it's much deserved. 

Yeah. This is gonna work out just fine.

Simply give merit abusers red trust. I think they should be banned (temporary, then permanent). It's hard to imagine the cases of merit exchanging from main accounts to alt-accounts, then return exchanging from alt-accounts to main-accounts, again and again.
For example:
Main account have 100 sMerits to send to one alt-account, then the alt get 50 sMerits to send back to main one, which will get more sMerits to send. Next round, main account send 50 sMerits to alt-acc, and so on like this:
Main account            Alt account
100                         0
100                         50
50                           25
25                           12
12                           6
6                             3
3                             1
And finally, over many rounds, main accounts will have 50+25+12+6+3 = 96 more Merit points
Alt-account will have 50+25+12+6+3+1 = 97 more Merits points.

In total the guy will get 193 more Merits points. It's terrible abusement.

I think those ones try abusing merit system should be banned.

I, too, believe, that the current system merit not friendly for newcomers. Unfortunately, this is the fault of the users themselves, who have too much FLUD on the forum.

Not friendly for newcomers ? I really think with the current merit system, it is easier for newbies to rank up. They just need 10 merit points for this. This can be achieved with a single thread posting some unique and useful content like stats related to members or an infographic. For the senior members, who now need 100 merit points or above to rank up, this is little hard to achieve. I also believe that merit sources will try to encourage new members more in comparison to the old members by giving merit points.

[Motookerva]

That sounds weird but there is still some bounty programs for even the newbies. you just have to search them

[afanase]

You need to rethink and try to focus on sections getting good number of merits. One such section is this meta section itself. But do not think that just adding 20-30 pots here everyday will give you merits. First learn about the different forum rules using the past threads. Also, go through the responses of senior members to questions asked in official thread. Give more time to this aspect and less to making posts here. Very soon, you will stat writing helpful posts and attract lot of merits.

Yeah, and that's why Bitcoin Discussion is a spam-infested section.  The noobs who can't write anything coherent in English are all posting the same generic "bitcoin change our life because it is a decentralized crypto currency and we get big profit..." shitposts, reassembled countless times in countless permutations.   But it's all crap. 

Please don't suggest that these people start infecting Meta in order to earn merit points, because that's not going to happen.   

A shitpost is a shitpost, and it doesn't matter what section it's in. Meta is one of the more interesting areas of bitcointalk, and it would be a shame if it got corrupted by the moron mob.  The whole reason they never posted here in the first place is that they don't care about forum issues--and they still don't, unless the issue is the missing merits which are retarding their progress.

[Sasuke102001]

Look you won't get merits just by asking and begging people to merit your posts you have to earn those merits by making some eye-catching posts and maybe then people would definitely merit your posts, that is what the idea was but the thing is many people are complaining about still not receiving merits by anyone. you are having problems reaching Member, I need way too many merits to become a senior member. The real problem would be starting from Member to Full Member.
