How can I overcome the merit barrier?

[BitNaija]

The introduction of the merit system has been applauded by many. Others too have spoken against it. I have been on the side of the merit system.

But looking at my activity points and where my rank still is, makes me understand why so many are against the merit system. I, though, still support the merit system.

There are those whom it seems know the key to earning merits. So I am asking, can such members share their knowledge here?

Go to Montreal, bend over to a person nicely. Barrier crossed. Or ask TMAN to slap you in the cunt. Whichever you prefer.

People are against the merit system because it makes it harder for them to level up.  People want to level up to make money posting garage in signature campaigns.

That's not what this forum is meant for.   You are unhappy because you want something that doesn't exist.  :/

I think,there's no other way of getting merits,but we should make a one constructive post,and be appreciated by the others. We need to obey and support the rules of this forum.

What are your merits exactly? What have you done to improve this forum? Harassing and abusing other members?

I've heard you keep a scammers list, is it legit or is it just the list of the users you don't like?

You and your clique is what this forum is meant for?

[bitmover]

I don't get those shitposters.

You are getting paid to write few comments per week. Why can't you put some effort in your posts?

If you read all comments before you post, then make a 3 minutes research on google, in all your posts, you would have many merits already.

Sure, I can share my knowledge.  Most users who have yet to rank up since the start of the merit system are probably either posting idiotic trash that no one cares to read, OR they're posting where no one will ever read it, i.e., in Bitcoin Discussion.  Those are two surefire ways of never earning any merit, and only the latter is a barrier that most people have much control over.  I have not checked your posts, but if you're posting in Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion or Economics, it's a safe assumption that anything you write is immediately going to be in a 2^21-layer sandwich of shitposts, and even if your post is decent, there's going to be nobody with patience enough to find it. 

Starting threads about how difficult earning merits is, is only going to get you put on some people's ignore lists that you'd probably wish you weren't on.  Yes it's hard to earn them, but it's supposed to be that way.  You can still contribute normally, and the only thing you're missing out on--as Vod has pointed out--is higher sig campaign earnings.  Nobody is going to shed a tear over that.

I think,there's no other way of getting merits,but we should make a one constructive post,and be appreciated by the others. We need to obey and support the rules of this forum.

Here's another cookie-cutter piece of slop for the ignore list.  I have a strong sense that people who write stuff like the above are just saying words they think merit-givers want to hear--and missing the spirit of things entirely.

Post history is as bad as you'd imagine.

INB4 someone connects this complainer to 12487 alts!!!!!!!! LOL

I think the key to getting a reward, is just a good post, like information and sharing knowledge about bitcoin. will be rewarded in the form of reward, as a form of appreciation.

if it gets any other way, maybe it's bad.

Based on legendary members, the basic and easiest way to gain merit is through good quality postings. It should be of quality at the same time useful and meaningful not only for the beginners but also for the BCT society. It might be hard but as time goes by we grow on our posting. Theres no short cut in it but by learning. Some merit sources offers quizzes about crypto world. Hope you find one buddy.

How did you expect to receive any merit if you only post one-liner posts in mega-threads? Look at my post history, even I'm not getting enough merit, but I'm not bitching about it.
Damn son!

[Silent26]

You're starting to understand those members who can't earn even a single Merit because you knew to your self that you can't also get Merits. I know that you already knew that your post won't receive merits, then why don't you try to improve your posts? You really like to rank up isn't? Then the only way for you to earn Merits is to quit posting one liner post or should I say "shitpost" in Megathreads and improve yourself. No one will ever give Merits in such posts in Megathreads except if your reply has a great contribution.

All I'm telling you is, you have two option.
1. Keep posting posts like what we can see in you post history then suffer from being a Member for the rest of your life.

Or

2. Improve yourself and activate your super powers to receive enough xp and rank up. (I'm talking about knowledge and Merits, hope you get it).

[TMAN]

I heard doing the limbo is the latest craze for getting under barriers, must mean the high jump is best for getting over them.

so. Increase the quality of your posts, this does not mean write 500 words when 3 suffice.

[Jet Cash]

You appear to be intelligent and articulate enough to make decent posts. My advice would be to stop chasing merits and scratching pennies from sig promotions. Start reading about the economic and financial changes that are happening. The fiat money systems are collapsing, and you can start to see the trend in the possible replacements. Bitcoin Talk is going to be a great place to discuss these new digital currencies, and an undertanding of them will make you far more money in the future than you can get from scamcoins now.

[TheHas]

This is a forum not an essay. You're adding a lot of extra words to something straightforward.

I suggest you get to your point/contribution in your posts.

As an example, instead of your paragraph for this topic, you could say:

"I like the merit system, but as you can see from my activity, I struggle to get merits. Can you give me advice on what I could do differently?"

It's exactly the same message. It gets to the point in about 1/3 of the words, which increases the likelihood others will read it. This also means that your contribution/ideas will get read and not buried

[puzzling_rvat]

From my point of view, if you wanna receive some merits, especially for low rank members, you have to make this forum as a part of you life or lifestyle. Spend more time here, read and learn. I don't see any other legal ways. Illegal ones are not interesting for me.

Very good thought , i'm totally supporting you point of view , i'm try to know more information about cryptocurrency and  improve level of my english.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Nagro, please.  You don't earn merits by reading and learning and you know it.  This whole "we must educate ourselves to grow day by day because bitcoin has a bright future" is just a standard cookie-cutter line mass produced by shitposters, and it's tiring.  Don't give people advice on earning merits, because you've gotten a grand total of ONE since January.

I did not put up this post as an avenue for attack. Please refrain from such. I need ideas, view points and suggestions that could make me and others improve in the quality of my posts so that I can attract merit.

I have observed that there are members who knows how to construct quality posts. I also noted that there are those who post some quality reviews. Such posts give them merits. Since the platform is a learning one, I believe there should be willing members, especially those who gets merits easily to share their experiences so that I and others can learn, improve in our posts and contributions and likewise earn merit.

I am a happy person. Not as you think.
