[Merit Analysis] "Self Made" Jr. & Member users that have earned merit

[vlad230]

After creating the [Merit Analysis] "Self Made" users based on earned merit I saw that there was a lot of interest from newer members about how many users have made it to the Jr. Member or Member ranks by receiving merit and not having anything "airdropped". I didn't include this in the first thread as I consider receiving 10 merits in 9 months trivial.

So, to all newbies out there, stop complaining and start: posting less, reading more and learning more about bitcoin to be able to produce good quality posts that will be merited.
Please consider this an encouragement to start your path in ranking up.

1. How many "Self Made" Jr. Member & Members users would there be if we only considered the earned merit and what rank do they have now?

Code:

16041 Jr. Members
5562 Members

Yes, you read that right, there are a total of ~21k users that have received between 1 and 99 merit.

2. Who are the "Self Made" Jr. Member & Members users would there be if we only considered the earned merit and what rank do they have now?

I wonder if there are "Self Made" higher rank members. It's good if you can analyze those who positively contribute to bitcointalk forum. I think many members can learn much knowledge from them.

[cryptovigi]

I like your analysis and have another challenge for you ;-)

Ranked Members - Member and above who was given merit airdrop (while introducing merit system) according to their ranks and didn't earn even one "by themself" this one maybe interesting!!!

[HiDevin]

Feels good being a self made member to be honest, really separates me from the spammers in this forum lol.

[kawetsriyanto]

~For sure, It's not like impossible mission to get merit since there are many newbies can get it and become junior ranks. New regulation should be a good way to improve every newbies and lessen the pointless posts.
~I have just realized that higher ranks in this forum care to newbies and other lower members as long as we want to try to make useful posts and learn more about forum and cryptocurrency as a whole.
~The thread above "Merit Analysis for Jr. & Member users earned merits" should be a new encouragement to improve our knowledge and stop complain.

Let's improve ourselves and contribute with useful things. Thanks vlad..

[The Cryptovator]

You made another similar post about it : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5039605.0

I think better update existing thread instead of make new thread.(IMO)

I agree this will look interesting and maybe we'll reveal some spammers too

How long will someone keep learning Bitcoin? Before I join this forum, I have been learing bitcoin. I have been posting good posts here and no merit given.

Unfortunately its no mater of time... In most cases is a matter of creating good content and sometimes luck. It's possible to be given merit for your first post if it's really valuable, important, interesting sometimes funny etc.
You wrote, that you have been posting good posts... I've scrolled down your history - it wasn't hard work because your started to make real posts one week ago after hard bounty report training... 

So which of them deserve merit in your opinion? link it and write shortly why?

[NightSabre]

Happy to have made the list! 

When I first came across BCT I treated it like Reddit, I lurked for a long while before joining in to see what the general vibe was like

I'm still not confident discussing blockchain tech or high level shit like that but there are places on the forum to discuss most subjects, just find a place where you can speak with some prior knowledge or interest and don't go looking for merit and it will somehow trickle in.

[dogbackwards]

Pretty cool to see me on one of these lists, I'm all the way down @ number 4466! I'm not the most active member on the board. My activity and posts are usually the same! I'm mostly here to discuss on the altcoins I'm invested in. I wouldn't say I'm self made! I started off with 10 merit. I've always been into the drama that lurks in the meta section though, one perk to this forum it can make your day go by.

Your merit Analysis' are very intriguing and I can only imagine the effort it may take. Great content to skim through though! Keep it up. Give good encouragement to all members, new and old.

Forget about merit, don't focus on gaining merits of yours. Just keep posting a good quality post, and time will come someone will give you merit. I assure you that, once you won't mind about merit system and try to forget it. Time will come it will show up to your profile. Just focus on things you want and forget this merit thing. We don't know today, tomorrow, next week it will come to you. Once you forget it then you'll get your own merit.

Thanks for this advice.I think this advice helpfull for everyone.

[Impulseboy]

Do you think that it will be easier for the forum if there will be a limit as to how many posts a members can make in a day? For example, a newbie can only make 5, a Jr. member can only make 10, until members reached full member or sr. member or other higher status? Maybe it will help keep the spamming to a minimum, and would encourage a more meaningful topics and conversation. What do you think?

[chiyenbtre]

It doesn't make sense!
Why I think so?
There are two main reasons:

Firstly, limiting total post per day for each users is not smart option, because when people have ideas to discuss, to contribute, to help others, they should have right to compose and publish all their ideas via threads. Limiting total threads per day will seriously violate the basic rights of forum users.
Secondly, even spammers, they will not spam 20 or 50, or 100 threads per day. It is the fact because they spam only for getting postcounts in order to satisfy their bounties' requirements. So, it doesn't make sense for spammers too.

Do you think that it will be easier for the forum if there will be a limit as to how many posts a members can make in a day?

The example here is not equally treated all forum members, obviously.
I don't think that a Ledgendary or Hero always has better ideas than lower rank users, including Newbies.
There are many many trash higher rank users due to the old rank system easily allows them to rank up.
Those types of high rank users don't be able to contribute valuable ideas/ discussions/ contributions to the forum. They always collect postcounts for their bounties, nothing more.

For example, a newbie can only make 5, a Jr. member can only make 10, until members reached full member or sr. member or other higher status? Maybe it will help keep the spamming to a minimum, and would encourage a more meaningful topics and conversation. What do you think?

In a nutshell, I don't support your ideas because they are not a realistic, meaningful new rule for the BTT forum!

We need to treat the cause not the effect.

The best place to start would be to ban campaign managers that pay people to spam the forum. This is the place where all of the issues are coming from.
If you have competent campaign managers that don't pay people who spam & post in mega-threads then that activity will stop.

I don't think it would be a good idea to limit people from posting, this is the whole point of the community here... Posting questions and getting answers to them.
