As a top 10 merited user I feel qualified to post this guide, this is to help new users and users who are reasonably established to level up. I am adamant the no1 cause of no merits is poor English, this is something you can change if you are struggling to get merits so if you know that this is the limitation then you need to take some steps * Improve your English language, this isnt just spelling and grammar this includes using words like Sir & Mr when I see those I imediately asume the person is a 3rd world poster * Spend the time that you currently use posting incoherent rubbish to learn proper Written English, start with youtube there has to be over 3002 different videos about writing the English Language * Read a few English books, you can download free Ebooks as a starter, look how sentences are structured common words etc. * Remember a quality post isnt necessarily a long winded post, using words that make you sound like you swallowed a thesauras doesnt help your cause Take the above advise and stop trying to level up for 3-6 months you will become a quality poster if you use some more of your free time reading the forum, this doesn't mean bounties, altcoins, speculation all the shit subs.. and only post in a few threads every week, no need to try to max out the activity now, sure you want to keep getting towards the higher numbers but its counter productive when we see high activity and 0 merit. Read technical discussion, read all of the most merited threads, understand the significance of Pizza day, the 2011 bubble, Cyprus, HODL, the fall of all the securities that some of us lost the equivalent of $Millions now. one other thing, you need to stop these bounties, I know it hurts you now financially, but seeing someone in a low end bounty for $20 just makes me asume they are a 3rd world poster and with a great initiative by BTCforJoe there is an option to help https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3055616.0 That thread is a tremendous Idea so props to OP there Now take my advise as you will, you are entitled to your opinion but I believe if you took the above actions you will be in a position to apply for the higher paying sig campaigns in 2-3 years from a newbie that's right you could be earning $300 a week from your signature if you put in effort and took some short term pain think of it as a training course to get 3x the Philippine's average family income. This will all go above thousands of users heads, but if it just helps one user to get out of poverty by bettering themselves then it was worth writing. Edit - link for English lessons https://www.duolingo.com/course/en/ar/Learn-English-OnlineAlso read the forum rules, I am not spoon feeding you the link as you need to learn to use the search button as well, once you have mastered the search function of the forum you will be able to check if your topic has been posted about before Thank you for your advice. I actually joined in this forum to learn good and true English, on the appeal of rank or award and a lot of the knowledge I got.

ok - same challenge as indohunter, do not post for 2 weeks, spend an hour a day learning English and come back here and make a post. All you need to do is catch my eye, I don't care if it has the odd spelling mistake or some grammatical errors, I just want to see that you are trying to better yourself, do that and you can have 10 merits..
Take it caotringhia . It's a chance for you to get your english more better than now. Me too still on learning. You can find the useful tools by looking the whole reply on this thread. There is duolingo.com , ebook : English Grammar in Use Intermediate Raymond Murphy [3rd Edition] & Ebook English Grammar in Use-Raymond Murphy [4rd Edition] , and also youtube . I'm prefer to use youtube on my learning, but also duolingo and these two ebooks is much helped me. Keep spirit, Bud. well he hasnt taken me up on it.. I feel the new merit system is really good although it is very difficult for the newbie and me. But I still support this new system, if you have the knowledge and language skills in this area, the rankings will be extremely easy. So, increase your knowledge and you will get the rank deserve.
people like this need to read the fricking threads, just posting an opinion that mirrors 10 other people is not a quality post

This is really good for me, I downloaded the duolingo app and felt this app was what I needed, the basics in this app will help me consolidate vocabulary. I will study again from the beginning and try to improve my language, thank you. This is really true, my biggest obstacle at this forum is probably the language problem. I am really very poor English. So from now on I will try to learn more English and hopefully then I can become an active member with contributions to this forum. This article really motivates me to improve my English right now, thank TMAN.

Seeing your past posts, I do not think that English is the only problem. You can still get merits with the current writing skills. You just need o pay some attention while making posts. For instance, check this post of yours: The bitcoin increased to $ 1,000 I think due to the strong impact of the tax, people almost no longer sold off and began to believe in this market.
I think you meant that say that bitcoin increased by $1000 but content you posted suggests that bitcoin reached $1000. I can understand that it was not intentional but could be avoided if you pay some attention while writing.

Hello everybody i am a newbie, i am confused with the content in the reply of the forum, and almost i can not find the answer in the wish to become a true member of the forum. Here the heading is the guide to getting merit. But when I read to find out about it, people do not have a specific guide. Please put yourself in a newbie and lead the problem in a more understandable way, so that we can find the information we need. More specifically, can we detail how to write a quality post, a quality post is specified by what content? Give us some examples of what is appreciated for us to study. thanks
You should start by reading the checking the merit stats page. Look for recent posts that got most merits and you will get an idea of what to post to get merits here. Regarding what actually is quality post, different people will have their own criteria for judging this. Some will give preference to posts which are witty , some will like the use of stats and images and so on. In general, it should add value to the forum and solve the issues or query asked by OP.

MANY of these OP's are simply opening new threads to increase their activity and never come back to read the replies. For instance, this guy: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1991585;sa=showPostsEvery day he posts and changes his favorite ICO list and at the end opens a new thread: Best ICOs at the moment? You must be sh*tting me.

So many new(ish) members say that they joined the forum to learn English, and to find out about Bitcoin, but when you give them the chance, but without the possibility of sig spamming and earning merits, they vanish back into the woodwork.

This isn't just a newbie making new topics it has to do with it's alts , I'm not going to post any user's profile link right now until i investigate more about it but my point here is i have seen newbies like these create a new topic daily and see the same members replying to his new topic daily and mostly every single time. It might just be a coincidence but i will try to gather more proofs in the coming days

No matter where you are from! north pole or to the south pole. Not just the place where you live is not just basis to give you a merit. The important thing is, You think that you're doing right and you learn to this forum.

Of course. And I expressed doubt as to whether people were actually going to take you up on your new website for that reason. Most of the members here who have 0 merit, write unintelligible nonsense, aren't ranking up, and are in signature campaigns are only here to earn money. They're not interested in learning (though they incessantly write about gaining knowledge), reading, or interacting on any level with anyone else. They have cartoon dollar signs in their eyes when they start tapping out their word-waste. And these people are the same ones who are cheating bounty campaigns by using legions of alt accounts to increase their earnings. I'm trying to neg them all, and by so doing, scotching their chances to earn money here. I pinch them and they squeal like piglets.

What I was hoping for was some interaction between the "trainees" on that project, but that doesn't seem to be happening, probably because there aren't enough of them yet. I think I need a better title than trainee as well. How about 'acolyte' or is that too religious. It goes well with my Satan's slave theme though. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I don't allow signatures, and I don't give merits for posting - that probably says it all. I think there are more Legendaries and Heros there than there are newbies. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)
