[LOG] The ranked up members - Congratulations!

[Coin-1]

The logs and chart have been updated. I also published the third part of the logs in the separate post because there are already too many Full Members on the main page of this thread.


AlcoHoDL, Royse777, Charles-Tim and DooMAD earned many merits and now have more than 2000 merits.
Lafu who is active on the German local board has also crossed the same threshold.
Excellent!

Bitcasino.io Support and bitcoinPsycho are new Legendaries.
xzone who posts in the Turkish local board has also achieved this position.
icopress who is active on the Russian local board has received enough merits to be a Legendary, but he does not have sufficient activity.

libert19 has ranked up to a Hero Member.
Stalker22, bakasabo, BTCLiz and noorman0 who are active on Croatian, Russian, German and Indonesian sections respectively have also reached this level.

PawGo, cwil, Raytheon, xxjumperxx, hisslyness, Awaklara, rozak, Mahdirakib, Rruchi man, Liquidoptions became Sr. Members.
baeva, Luzin, sam00 who post in Russian, Indonesian and German local boards respectively have also achieved the same rank.

naim027, SatoPrincess, vd309, Steeley, titular and GbitG have been promoted to Full Members.
Apytioh, vonutage and Retro Harmony who are active on Russian and Turkish sections respectively have also attained this position.

Hurray!

Have you forgotten about me? You haven't mentioned me, even though I said in this very thread that I ranked up on 11/17/2021. I don't see me in the first page either.

I just looked at the first page of this thread, pressed "CTRL+F" in my browser, typed in the line "Poker Player", hit "Enter" three times, and found the following row in the table:

311 users received enough merits to rank up to Hero Member:

280)

8/25/2021

Poker Player

I see that you have earned 500 merits on August 25, 2021. I mentioned you here on September 10, 2021. Perhaps I didn't notice that you didn't have enough activity points at the time.

It should be noted that my analyzing tool only adds a row to the logs when a user crosses certain merit thresholds.

Forum users can rank up to the same position many times. Imagine a user have made 120 posts and earned 100 merits. Of course, he has ranked up to a Full Member. Then one of his posts was deleted by him (or a moderator). Thus, this user became a Member again. After that, he made a single post and for the second time "ranked up" to a Full Member.

Therefore, my logger analyzes all merit transfer transactions, but does not track user activity.

Thank You very much for the Update. Yeah, I noticed something wrong with my account. My account was 4 years old and I had some old posts for Hunt, Races Purposed on the Gambling board. I had reached 260+ Activities a few days ago. But, yesterday A Mod deleted my 7-8 Old posts that were made back in 2017-2018-2019. The posts were like Username: naim027. Because the thread creator asked us to post usernames on their ANN to participate in the game. I Don't know why moderators deleted the posts. And Now my Activity stepped down to 168. It will take Four months to achieve the activities again.

[GazetaBitcoin]

icopress who is active on the Russian local board has received enough merits to be a Legendary, but he does not have sufficient activity.

Again, while congratulating all the members which ranked up, I am more than pleased to see also someone I am close with listed by Coin-1. This time I see icopress reaching Legendary threshold, which is a great achievement. Congrats, icopress!

I also noticed that your activity is 775 now so starting next activity period you may become Legendary also with the rank per se. I wish you good luck to obtain this title in a small amount of time, thus avoiding waiting a possible maximum of other 260 days. I am in the same situation as you here and I am wondering after each activity update "will it be now?" However, the most difficult part has passed, that's what matters. Now we just have to wait.

Cheers!

Yes icopress has enough merits to reach legendary rank as his current merit stats is at 1039 merits but still he's hero member due to activity restrictions as he still lacks legendary one and have 770 activity at current but soon he will achieve the next and highest rank on forum.Similar is the case with you also man as you have crossed the most difficult part attaining merits and now see you have 1898 merits which can make one legendary,one hero,one one senior,one full and one junior member from scratch.This is Big achievement if you look that way.

But just a little wait and you will easily cross these levels and only need to remain active for some more time and next activity distribution period you will see new rank on your profile as well.Mark my words.

I had reached 260+ Activities a few days ago. But, yesterday A Mod deleted my 7-8 Old posts that were made back in 2017-2018-2019. The posts were like Username: naim027. Because the thread creator asked us to post usernames on their ANN to participate in the game. I Don't know why moderators deleted the posts. And Now my Activity stepped down to 168. It will take Four months to achieve the activities again.

Doh!  That'll happen when the content of an entire post is just your username, because if I'm not mistaken those tend to get deleted sooner or later, either because a mod is cleaning up a section or thread, if a thread gets deleted entirely after a game like that is over, or if someone reports those posts when it's over.  So counting on low-value posts (even if they're meant to be such) to contribute to your activity when you're below Legendary is risky. 

But you're doing all right, and I'm sure if you keep making decent posts (that aren't for games like the above) you'll get back to where you were before you know it.  If it's any consolation, I've seen people get busted down a rank or two because someone reported a bunch of their crappy posts and a mod deleted a bunch of them all at once, and those were actual discussion posts.

Congrats to everyone who ranked up!  It never fails to amaze me how few members are climbing the ranks every time this thread gets updated, because prior to the merit system a list like this would have had probably a hundred or more names on it.  So the members who rank up these days truly deserve to do so IMO.  Props to all of you.

Because they are low value posts, basically. You may want to read Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ so you avoid future surprises.
So as long as you're on the right track, just take the small setbacks as learning experience.

I suspect there is more behind this.
 For sure those were low-quality posts, but also I guess there was not really a need to do that unless there is a problem with the message database being too big.
Also, I have been reported more attention to consecutive posts (subsequently merged by mods)  and things like that.

Thank you very much. I understand that my old posts were of low value. But, somehow forum allowed thread creators to ask their participants to post like this. If that was not allowed, why did they delete my post that time? Why were they deleted after 4 years? And why only my post? I checked the thread and most of the other participant's posts are still exist. So, I guess someone visited my profile and saw this guy got a lot of merits in the last few days (225 in 50 days which is a lot for starters). So, I should fuck him up. After that, I also deleted my few old posts to help moderators. I thought why someone needs to report my posts? I guess I can help them by deleting my own. To be honest, I never knew that if I delete my posts, my activities will be reduced 🐸. I also did some mistakes. But I don't regret it anymore since the posts were valueless.

So as long as you're on the right track, just take the small setbacks as a learning experience.

Yeah, That was a good experience. There is a saying,

From where do you learn?
Where I stopped

[skarais]

But, somehow forum allowed thread creators to ask their participants to post like this. If that was not allowed, why did they delete my post that time? Why were they deleted after 4 years? And why only my post?

Mods don't work like robot because they are humans too. So sometimes they need time to follow up on low value posts for deletion, maybe 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or maybe 4 years (as you experienced). It's still possible for someone to report some of your old posts for breaking the rules or just being of low quality, so I don't think you should blame them for that either. - Someone might try to warn you not to post like that again in the future after they find out that you've had quite an impressive upgrade recently that they report some of your posts (only you), so think on the positive side.

But I'm wondering why the activity drop is too much when you already have more posts than your activity count. If I'm not mistaken, your activity shouldn't decrease when your post count is still above the amount of activity you have. But maybe I need another reason why it happened to you.

Man, your words delight my heart! But do you understand that this is just a formality? Since, as well as overcoming the threshold of 1000 merits, the waiting for the Legendary rank will pass unnoticed for me, since I have long found here those whose messages I read with a smile, those with whom time flies unnoticed. 

Congrats to everyone who ranked up!  It never fails to amaze me how few members are climbing the ranks every time this thread gets updated, because prior to the merit system a list like this would have had probably a hundred or more names on it.  So the members who rank up these days truly deserve to do so IMO.  Props to all of you.

Don't be shy, you had a hand in this ... by the way, if this thread existed before the era of the merit system, then it would be extremely difficult for Coin-1 to make regular updates, since updates would have to be published every day. Although, on the other hand, even if there was no merit system, we would still observe a decline in activity, (judging by the dynamics of the effectiveness of advertising on this forum). 

[naim027]

But I'm wondering why the activity drop is too much when you already have more posts than your activity count. If I'm not mistaken, your activity shouldn't decrease when your post count is still above the amount of activity you have. But maybe I need another reason why it happened to you.

I guess you know how the activity works. You get 14 activities every two weeks or 15 days. If you post 14 times in the last 14 days, your posts and activity count will be the same. But, If you post 30+ posts in this period, Your posts count will be increased but your activities won't increase. There is an exception, Whenever you post 1 time in 15 days period, 14 activities will be reserved for you. Suppose, You post and activities were equal. Now, If you post 1 time today and are inactive for the next 13 days. Your post count will be increased by 1 and 1 activities + 13 reserved activities. After these 15 days, if you post 27 times after that, your activities will increase by 27 instead of 14 only. Because you reserved your activities before.

Is it a bit confusing? I guess so just because of my bad explanation.

[GazetaBitcoin]

you have 1898 merits which can make one legendary,one hero,one one senior,one full and one junior member from scratch.This is Big achievement if you look that way.

Hehe, thanks! I never look at it that way, but now I see that indeed, with my merits 6 users, each of a different rank, could rank up

But just a little wait and you will easily cross these levels and only need to remain active for some more time and next activity distribution period you will see new rank on your profile as well.Mark my words.

I wish your words come true, but for reaching Legendary rank it's not that simple though, as to reach this rank you have to have an activity between 775 and 1030. When you create your username it has a seed, to say so, which nobody knows (probably excepting theymos), saying at which activity level you will rank up to Legendary. So it can happen once you reach 775 points of activity, but it can happen as well when reaching 1030 activity points (which is 255 days later than the moment of reaching 775 activity points). Or, it can happen somewhere in between - e.g. at 800 activity, at 900, at 1020 or at any other number between 775 and 1030.

Now of course, I wish your words come true and my rank will change at the very next activity period update (which, according to this spreadsheet should occur on December 29th), but the truth is that I will never know until it'll actually happen. But I have enough patience

[Cazemiro]

Congratulations for compiling all this data,  the classification is much fairer with the use of merit.

I'm waiting for the next updates, with the names of the users who leveled up in 2022.

[Coin-1]

I have updated all lists and chart on the front page of this thread.

Over the past months, buwaytress, BlackHatCoiner, hosseinimr93, Steamtyme and BitMaxz have earned a lot of merits and now own more than 2000 merits.
GazetaBitcoin, hugeblack and khaled0111 who are active on Romanian and Arabic local boards respectively have also crossed the same threshold.
Great!

dragonvslinux and BITCOIN4X are new Legendaries.
Ale88, joker_josue, Daltonik, dwyane36 and delfastTions who post in Italian, Portuguese and Russian sections respectively have also achieved this rank.
The VIP member laszlo and shahzadafzal, n0nce have received enough merits to be a Legendary, but they still lack the required activity points.

GeorgeJohn, Gozie51 and Oshosondy have been promoted to Hero Members.
Polkeins, patrickus and Ulven who are active on Russian, French and Arabic local boards respectively have also reached this level.
Hispo, ZekiBeyy and PawGo who post in Spanish, Turkish and Polish sections respectively have earned up to 500 merits, but they do not have enough activity.

decodx, Shamm, Tash, payjoe93, _BlackStar became Sr. Members.
FS2018, Boristhecat, ~DefaultTrust and m2017, MK-74 and Phoenix Anka who are active on Russian and Turkish local boards respectively have also achieved this position.
naim027, titular, EZ0010, SatoPrincess and BtcTalkShow have received enough merits to be a Sr. Member, but they have no sufficient activity.

blackjack.fun, brollikk, nullama, Accardo, mynonce, Rockstarguy, Wiwo, duelbits, Cornia, Cookdata, Escaflowne, Andriian, BernyJB, betnomi, uchegod-21, takuma sato and _act_ have ranked up to Full Members.
vincenzo, abduramann_, Melja, Groundbit and darxiaomi who post in Italian, Turkish, French, Indonesian and Spanish sections respectively have also reached the same level.

Cheers!

I'm waiting for the next updates, with the names of the users who leveled up in 2022.

Thanks for your patience. The names of users who have ranked up this year have just been published here.

[buwaytress]

^ I don't normally respond to Meta mentions but happened to read the first few lines in preview. It still feels very recent when I got bumped by kind users to pop into Legendary, and most merits since then I would say have also been out of generosity.

Always trying to pass on that kindness, but happy to recognise familiar names in the list. Well done to all, merit serves its purpose very well in those usernames I recognise

[_BlackStar]

-snip-

Now the merit system is working fine for me and so far I have managed to earn 382 merit from 71 different users, and have also send some existing sMerit for 70 different users. I got the Sr rank a while ago and it was quite fun, and now I just need to buy some time and try to keep contributing to the forum with the best quality possible until Hero and Legendary members are reached. Right now I only need 118 merit for Hero and 618 merits for Legendary, but of course I should have enough activity.

Coin-1, thanks for this update.

[BITCOIN4X]

Right now I only need 118 merit for Hero and 618 merits for Legendary, but of course I should have enough activity.

By the way, so far you have had a great forum journey based on your history of merit and if you manage to maintain or improve that quality then in no time you will get 500 merit. I think it's not impossible, so just do it well and don't think too much about getting merit in each of your posts. I really feel you need to learn more about bitcoin than think about achievements or high rankings on this forum. There's not much point in being a Legendary if your knowledge of bitcoin never improves. That's all I can recommend.

OP, good jobs, Cheers.

and now

[The Sceptical Chymist]

dragonvslinux and BITCOIN4X are new Legendaries.

Eyyyy!!  Congrats to all the newly-ranked up members, and it's good to see there's a lot of them this time around.  I could have sworn BITCOIN4X had already reached Legendary, but I guess I was mistaken.

Merit sources must be doing their jobs well, and I'm hoping non-merit sources are doing their best to distribute merits to those in need.  The system is over three years old, so it has a decent track record but it'll fail if members hoard their sMerits (I think I've said that like a million times already, but it's a persistent fear that I have).

Once again, I'm going to offer post history reviews to any member below Legendary rank as long as they don't already have 1000 merits.  Just drop me a PM asking to review your posts and I'll be happy to do it.  I'd actually be grateful if more members took me up on the offer, because I haven't been doing as much reading in the past few weeks and so haven't handed out as many merits as I usually do.  I'm trying to improve, but it'd help if I had my attention focused on where to send merits.

Thank you once more for mentioning my name here, Coin-1. As always, it's a great pleasure and the happiness is greater considering that chances to me nominated here decrease as you rank up. And, in time, there are less and less chances to see your name here after reaching Legendary rank. However, with continuous hard work and good contributions, there are still chances. And now I am happy to see I got to be listed by you again. And this reminds me of a previous discussion we had 1 year and 3 months ago. Your words came true, Coin-1!

So I championed this account as I said! I kept my promise. Of course, I won't stop here, as at the moment I am just a Sr. Member and in order to finally become Legendary I still need between 1 year and 1 year and 8 months of activity. But the merits for this position are achieved, with two ranks ahead.

Yes, you fulfilled your promise. I'm not surprised you earned 1000 merits so quickly. I have read your threads about cypherpunks and the history of Bitcoin and found them very laconic and informative. I guess soon you will be included in the list of users who have over 2000 merits.

Your confidence in me was amazing and I am happy I managed to make your words come true!

Well Congratulations Sir For being one active and quality users. I just Found this thread 😂 My rank is not going up i think some activity issue. I think now you are one of most Merit holding users Keep it up.
My Activity is stuck don't know why 3 days or more may be its not increasing.
