Well, since the begging system (sorry, the Merit system) was implemented, every day we all see new threads asking, begging, getting desperate about how to get those appreciate numbers under the users' names. For those all that feel they deserve merits but, for some reasons, they don't get it, and with the purpose of helping to stop these kinds of threads, here goes some (useful??) advice:1. When you enter into a community that happens to be there for years, you should
be patient. I mean:
just read, and learn all that you can about it before even trying to get your place in there. Show some respect for the work of the other users, for they have been in there for years, and you can't just be at the same level by a week of work. So, first advice:
be respectful and humble.
2.
Asking for some recognition is not going anyway. As much as you ask for something you don't deserve, the less respect you will receive, so, second advice:
never beg for merits.
3.
The forum is a very big place with a lot of hidden corners, so just explore it fully in order to find where you can be a useful person. Third advice, then:
explore the forum.
4. I have done threads offering merits in exchange of knowledge, but
most of the people didn't even read well the instructions, and they posted whatever they wanted, most of them off-topic. So, fourth advice:
always read well before answering.and, of course,
Don't post unless you have something to say.5.
The merit system is relatively new for all. It will need some time to be fully understood and well-implement. Also, many people here are just getting desperate for they don't receive merits, so, fifth advice:
do not get desperated. The most you obsessed with merit, the less you will receive.
Just chill for a while, relax and read. 6.
There are some new users writing really constructive threads, and they have been rewarded. Explore, again, the forum, and
learn from them. So, in the sixth place,
learn from other users.
One example: there are some users here trying to really help Newbies to improve their skills. This is the case of Jet Cash, who has created this website https://fittotalk.com/english-talk/index.php for you people to learn how to write good posts in English.
7.
Take care of your personal posting activity. Before meriting someone, most of us always take a look at his/her posting activity in the users profile. This is because the merited people (at least under my consideration) must have a good attitude towards the forum. I
f your posting activity sucks, probably you will not receive merits as spected.8.
Never NEVER commit plagiarism. If you find something of interest on the internet, then share your thoughts, maybe a resume and then give the link to the original.
Copy-pasting will never receive merits, and, also, you can be banned for that. Of course,
there are too many other pieces of advice I can think about. For instance, the language issue. I am not a native-English-speaker, so every day, I try to study and improve it a bit. How? By reading in English (newspapers, books, etc), by studying the English Grammar (there is some app, like Wlingua, really useful to learn a bit per day). If you want to write in another language, then you will need some study (Google translator doesn't work, folks, just try a bit harder). Hey, my English is far from being perfect, but, at least, I do my best!
The biggest problem most of the beggers have is money: they come here into the forum seeking to earn some bitcoin. Well, people, it will take a while, and you will need to work hard. You can't just go into a place and say "Hey, give me some money, I know nothing, I am not willing to learn nothing, but I deserve it!!!"... Um... nop, it just can't work!! So, if you are here just because you think this is going to be easy to earn money, then first learn about Bitcointalk, ok? For in here you have a lot of useful information about cryptoworld and, for sure, you will find your own path if you are willing to learn.
So, last advice: just LEARN. This is free, people, free!
