Merits, who else feels the same way I do when merited?

[Retty]

I agree with the OP that it is a nice feeling to get merits. I wouldn't say i have the same OCD with checking every post etc  but it is nice to know that what you have written - someone has enjoyed it, found it helpful or useful etc.

I am highly waiting for the first and the most important post(through which i get merit)that i should make and  feels the same feeling of joy and accomplishment when someone got his/her first merit.For this i will try my best.

Funny but from the first day i received my very first merit I got a particular feeling, i can't actually explain how I felt but excitement, joy and some sense of accomplishments was involved. After that day, as I don't get merited daily I unconsciously check every post that got merited immediately I notice it. Don't know if this habit of mine is normal or I need help .
I know the regular merit receivers won't experience this so I'm asking those who don't receive it daily whether they unconsciously or consciously check merited post like I do?

It's like Facebook Likes, that need of approval for the society, that feeling about people like your way to think. And isn't cool at all because if people who get merits feels good, that mean people who don't maybe are feeling bad. Should be really frustrating to make a good post and not get merits for it.

Is really easy for the legendaries, because we started with 1000 merits and we can't rank up. But for those ones who want to be legendary, is a really hard and long way. I'm not saying it was easy before the merit system but now is much harder.

I started from 0 merit without complaining and begging even in the history of my posts. I thought it was inappropriate for me to do that because half of my activities were hunting for bounties. I only discussed what was interesting to me (and not even everyday).

After the 2nd merit & rank requirement + 1 day was issued, I'm a member who up to the new rank. I'm the happiest person at the time (I'm sure  ), where many people complained about this new requirement. When looking at some posts history that gets merit in one time, such as past prayers that were granted at once which I think they might have been forgotten by God.

Believe me, whatever you did in the past isn't entirely in vain if it is useful and valuable. Someday people will see them. Keep the spirit and do your best

It took me a long time to get merited but when it did, I got the most joyous feeling. I am so happy and thankful to the person or persons who merited me. I don't know how to find out who it was, but whoever it was, thanks so much. It made me even more encouraged on my cryptocurrency journey.

Yes, receiving merits feels great like you have cured cancer, it makes you feel like you give a huge contribution to the bitcointalk community.

I agree, but I think it shouldn't be like that.
I mean, receiving merit should be something common for any member that contributes to the forum. It has been implemented mainly to fight against spam, so imo it shouldn't be so hard for the non-spammers to rank up.
But anyway, we don't decide of anything, we're not admins, so these posts are pretty useless...

I remember the first time I got my first merit. It was nice.
