Just make sure that people don't start using clickbait.

That's one thing I've noticed. Many people who have poor grammar try to over-compensate by making their posts way too long compared to the info in them.

Nobody is going to give merit for a long post if it doesn't say anything guys.

[Foxpup]

All these threads by shitposters purporting to give advice to other shitposters on how to gain merit are reminiscent of the cargo cults that sprung up in World War II. They see other people's posts receiving merit as though it were a gift from the gods, and think if they make their posts look similar, they too will receive merit. But like the bamboo control towers and wooden radios and coconut headphones, it's all form and no substance. They do not receive any merit, no matter how much effort they put into their mimicry. They don't understand what they're missing, so they inevitably complain that the merit gods are mistreating them. But the gods merely shake their heads and struggle to understand why the cultists ever thought their plan would work in the first place.

And the merit cultists' prayers continue to go unanswered.

Perhaps a merit rain dance will work wonders.

Maybe the shit posters could offer one of their alt accounts as a virgin sacrifice into a volcano and gain favor from Satoshi himself?

So many possibilities guys. Don't let your dreams be memes. Strive for greatness and hustle for those merits!

Sometimes just reading does not get a reward

[Kaniel-ouots]

Your rank affect merit if you are legendary you will receive merit if you not you won't receive merit

[goigiacmove]

You are right at this point. Topic title is important to get attention of users in the forum (same effects like topic sentences). If it is impressive, interesting, users will jump to it, and read it.

we should be able to create a title topic that is able to attract members.

However, you are missing another important point. Topic title is not all things because there are several more components which contribute to form high-quality topics, including topic sentences, ideas and the way topic creators express and expand their main ideas; vocabularies (appropriate or not), grammar (English writing style is broken or not), etc.

Your rank affect merit if you are legendary you will receive merit if you not you won't receive merit

This is not at all true, write quality posts and you will receive merit, you could argue that you may receive more if you are legendary but that is simply because people may be willing to take more time to read your posts as they are from a respected poster. However you don't need a high rank to be respected and have people pay attention to your posts.

While there are many that certainly are doing as you say (OP included), I'm sure there are some who simply do struggle with English and are trying to make their post quality better. We know that post length is not relevant but they may not.

Given that they may not have other ways to better improve their English, mimicry is perhaps one of the best ways they have to improve. Do not forget that as babies we learn almost everything through mimicry.

AND LOL..

Only title cannot get you merits. But you are right about the part that if someone has a good title, there are chances that members will read the thread. But, thereafter, the content in that thread has to be impressive as well. Then only a member will get convinced to send you some merits. Also, I think this trick will work only on members. The merit sources are experienced people who are ware about things like click bait being used commonly in this field.

With your opinion like this it indicates there will be no se newbie who will go up the rankings. if so many people will cry blood

yeah, with the type of negative thoughts, you will probably can not contribute to the forum through constructive, high-quality, helpful threads, which in turn lead your account to the possibility of never earning any more merit scores. You should change your attitude to adapt with new system, new rules of the forum.
Many users did that, and you should do it too.

Jet Cash just hits the mark with writing in english for getting some merits
you don't need to be a thread starter, being a good constructive poster can get merited as well

Your rank affect merit if you are legendary you will receive merit if you not you won't receive merit

so you're saying that even if the post is considered meritable,
people would hesitate clicking that merit button if the poster is Jr.Member or lower? Wrong!
people gives out merit based on post's quality (objectively) not based on user's rank (subjectively)

*Ahem* OP. *cough cough*

I had OP on my ignore list, but I had to click on this thread to see what it's about.  I read his post and I still don't know.  This is a typical sloppy, no-English shitpost that he probably is hoping to get merit points for.  

These people just don't understand that there's nothing of value in what they post, because it's too hard to decipher.  With everything else to read on this forum--and the rest of the internet--there's no way I'm going to spend any extra time to interpret some pajeet's shitpost because he's too lazy and/or ignorant to write coherent sentences.  

And not only that, once I figure out that a bitcointalk member will be incapable of writing something worth reading, he immediately goes on my ignore list.  That's getting to be extremely long, let me tell you.  I wasn't kidding in another thread when I mentioned that bitcointalk is providing whole villages in Indonesia with income.  There are so many members here who write the same shitposts over and over, that my statement almost has to be true.  When you add in the alt accounts that people have, the number of users here who are shitposting becomes astronomical.  When I click on some mega spam threads, there are sometimes entire pages where all the posters are on my ignore list.  It's crazy--and then we get threads where they wonder why they have no merits...<sigh>.

people would hesitate clicking that merit button if the poster is Jr.Member or lower? Wrong!

I can speak for myself only, of course, but if you look at all the merits I've given out, a lot of them are to low-ranked members.  There haven't been a lot of posts by noobs that have caught my eye, but there have been some.  The problem is that there are just too many posts and not enough merit.  It's competitive.  Get used to it.

Yep, here's another one going on permanent ignore.

No. Most merited posts are replies, and I think 99.99% of the forum doesn't bother changing the reply subject. The few threads that I have made that have gotten don't really have a creative title, just one that is descriptive of what is in the post. Look at the top merited topics:



Only one of them has a "creative" title in my opinion.

Writing in English can help you to be awarded merit as well.

Topic titles should be written with good English, both vocabs and grammar, linking words, clear topic sentences.
Nevertheless, the fact is only topic title is not enough to get merits, because it is not enough to make quality, constructive, useful topic. The general quality of each topic depends on its internal contents by several following components:

1. Does the topic has relevant questions? (that means is the topic neccessary to start a new topic, is it not been answered wherever before)
2. Was the topic written in well-formated style? (don't use capitalizations, hightlights, underlined, oversized-images when not needed)
3. Was the topic written with proficient English (with little inapproriate vocabulary usages and grammar errors)?

Might be more important components, I am not sure; but in my view, those three are the most important ones which can help topics to get merits.
