TMAN'S guide to getting merit.

[TMAN]

Thanks for your guide it's very useful mostly for the newbs, i really dream to become Legendary user will be very an honor for me, i'am old member forum by 2012 and trying to rank up but it's very hard

Where are you from? Your English isn't that bad and you have been here for 5 years..

I am not that much desperate to earn merit, but this guide might be actually helpful for newbies. I would appreciate if anyone could look through my posts and tell me if there are any serious mistakes. It is much easier for me to translate something from English to my native language - I don't have to give it much thought. Still, punctuation is the most difficult for me.

Dude I understand you, no issues - small errors mean nothing, my grammar and spelling are not perfect. Don't worry about that aspect of this, just worry about where you post, what you post and why you are on the forum.

Thank you for your guide. It is very useful for new members, and for others who don't have English as their first Language. My dream is to become a Legendary, and it will be a great honour for me. I have been a member of the forum since 2012, and I hope to improve my rank, but I am finding it very hard.

Not good, from december i remember, my etha adsress still count around $18.

wow from December  to march   you only got 18 $ from bounties ?  and  with all the posts and stuff  

 i got like +200 $  from airdrops and bounties that have no relation with Bitcoin talk forum   . it took 3 months since i joined those competition in February  

and for the main topic  i would like to add  that people can and should use  the auto correct function  since it will help them alot   in their posts  also it is available in phones and pc   and  if they cant use it  they can simply use google translator

Merit is rather complicated than just a quality post. I'm using this forum for learning and testing various ways to be involved in cryptocurrencies ecosystem. From what I see quality is subjective, many low quality post got merited and high quality one being ignored. Yes I know it's not a perfect system. And if I'm not mistaken merit system started from last year, so.. many old members here cannot really grasp how difficult it is to have a good quality post -> be read -> read by members who have merit point -> getting merit point.

Still waiting for the "real" merit guide by newbie who really get promoted fair and square.

your posts dont lack quality fella, it is where you post that is the issue.. shit like the below in megathreads is not quality, even though you are a native speaker.

As a newbie in this bitcoin world, I wanna hear some of your unforegettable experience with bitcoin.
More like motivating and inspiring stories, to keed us inspired and motivated and to become successful in this world of cryptocurrency.

For me, it changed my perspective about money
Before bitcoin, i thought fiat is backed by gold (i'm pretty sure it's not just me to think like that)
Then i dig about fiat and the history of money.. well and here i am now in bitcoin talk forum

Altcoin discussion/bitcoin discussion - all megathreads.. its all been said before so no one will merit it.

I see, let me try your recipe. Thanks for pointing my mistakes!

Its not mistakes bud, it is just that anyone with merit doesn't even read those cesspools.

Well I've just been listening to Joan Baez on YouTube, so I'm in a good mood, and I seem to have a load of sMerit to award, so I'll have a look round to see if I can find some great posts.

Note - don't ask me to look at your posts, because I will just put you on ignore.  

I looked at page 1 and page 4 on Beginners and Help, and didn't like any of the titles, so - moving on.
Bitcoin discussion made me wonder if my mouse would get eviscerated if I opened any threads, so onwards again
I was going to award this post - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3316404.msg34955714#msg34955714 , but it's plagiarised from Quora, so I'll need to report that.
I awarded a merit to JackG for this post - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3316404.msg34955714#msg34955714 - I nearly didn't because he is a global mod on Fit to Talk, but I thought he had put some effort into this post to help someone. It's in Tech discussion.
This post got a merit in Development. It's nice and short, and answers the question - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3316404.msg34955714#msg34955714

Well there you go. Yet another not very productive merit awarding tour.

So TMAN cares only about quality of users' English and people can get merits without knowing the point but just with excellent English?!  You must be kidding me.

You obviously struggle understanding things buddy,

I'm surprised that nobody has commented on my post above, although I guess it all been said before.

[shahzadafzal]

Although one infographic is already posted but here I did summarize all the comments posted in this thread.
I have added and compiled some valuable suggestions given by seniors and made an easy to follow Do's and Don'ts

Edit: Please let me know if missed any thing important or I should add something more valuable

[luigi3]

This is really helpful just like me im beginner and i want some realistic experience about earning merit because there are some people abusing merit by selling and buying.

[Ayuluv2001]

Awesome mate @TMAN! Thanks for the sharing. Currently am personally trying to know more about crypto so I can contribute more in my own context for the crypto world

But having good understandable english is needed as we are dealing with mates from international over the world

Kudos

That abuse is also real. What follows such cases (negative trust) is real as well.

You can do good if you take care of some points:

1) Try to post more instead o just one liners. I am not in favor of posting essays here but be more communicative.

2) Please use capital "I" instead of i in your sentences which you have done in all four posts so far.

[edhp]

Wow this is one advise everyone should listen and take into account. Thank you Sir, I'm doing also some of the advise mentioned there on your post and proud to say that I'm improved a little bit.

Need some exercise, I am not rushing things here to be good at posting but slowly buy surely will make me there. Thanks again mate, I've regain my energy to study more because of this.

The word sir should never be used to address someone in this forum. You will never be mates until you unlearn that.

[TheUltraElite]

Hello Sir, I'm addressing this as a sign of respect to everyone. Hope you can grasp what i mean to say cause even though we aren't mate, this is necessary even the person your speaking with is unknown to you.

You really dont need to address anybody with "Sir" - everyone here is having the same status as you have. Although there is something called "Rank" still it holds least value in having a "status" here. Moreover it irritates people because they think you are trying to act nice and be polite for no reason whatsoever. Can be taken a type of goody-goody before doing something bad. I am sure you can site examples from real life in this aspect.

Overall dont "punctuate" your posts with "Sir/Madam" - honestly its begshit and I would ignore all people who do so.

[TMAN]

That's your opinion sir, I'm not trying to beg for anything here just expressing what I know is right even in real life. I know you have high rank here in forum compared to mine but that is not your status in real life so don't say this attitude is begshit, but that's your perspective I'll rather continue mine if you dont mind. By the way if this how you wish being address then its fine. You are one of the alu services right? from now on I`'ll never address you sir on your telegram group as you wish.

You are going on ignore as you are obviously retarded, you praise my post then fucking ignore one of the key points - stop calling people Sir, it is fucking annoying ok..
