HOW do I get merit?

[stoat]

I have been a memeber here for many years. And have made innumerable high quality posts educating and helping my fellow bitcointalk members but I have yet to ever be noticed and recognised for my efforts. I only noticed the merit system TODAY and I can’t believe I don’t have any!

Never mind,
settled since about a year to reward high quality posts. You won't need merits when using the forum unless you want to rank-up.

Do never ask for merit or try to buy/sell.

I can't understand how you qualify yourself as a good forum user when you didn't see an implemented running system since a year.

May be you should do some simple searches before asking in Meta, you can just read pinned threads about the forum rules and conditions.

this account woke up in june after zero posts in about 1 1/2 years during which time he learned chinese judging by the post history

All English up until nov 2016.

Posting gap until June 2018

chinese posts appear in August 2018

Now back to English.

Stinks of hacked / purchased account.  Probably needs red flagging

You’ve got lots of merit how did you get it?

The 1000 that I got was just from being a Legendary member, like the 250 that you got. The 226 additional was just people being nice to me.

Yeah, judging from posts like this, I'm very surprised you haven't earned merits:

literally kill yourself my man.

Aw, crap you beat me to it before I fully read the thread.  Yeah, that was the one that stuck out the most to me.

I also have my suspicions about this account having a huge posting gap, and looks like someone else did as well:

對我會講中文。 I speak chinese fluently due to having lived there a long time. People can be bilingual without being a scammer. If you delve REALLY far back into my post history you will see I post in Chinese years ago too. Talking about ETH back before it was $2

But he did post this in 2015 and at least one more in the Chinese section (I stopped looking at the oldest posts after about 6 pages), in his defense:

最強的應該是《以太》以經快賣完了！ 快點買！

That said, you JUST heard about the merit system?  I'm very skeptical of that claim, since you haven't exactly been inactive throughout 2018.  In any case, your posts in 2018 pretty much sucked just from a quick glance, and it's not likely anyone is going to go back to search for good ones you may have made long ago.  And tone down the font size, dude.

a little like that, and again my last one has gone, can't manage of keeping a few sendables in the stables

[yahoo62278]

Should thos thread be titled, hi I bought this account how do I rank up?

[bones261]

a little like that, and again my last one has gone, can't manage of keeping a few sendables in the stables

     There you go. Now pay it forward. 

[mikeywith]

Tip no.1 to get merit: use default font size .

Welcome.

I think the original stoat (perhaps this guy) will likely be worth millions and millions of dollars by now.
I expect the real stoat did make some big bucks for some people here.
I guess posts that make people fortunes could be worthy of merit for sure but I don't think people look back in time to give merit unless you're satoshi really.

Pick another huge winner and then perhaps ...

Merits are directly proportional to font size so you have to make it at least 72 to get noticed.

Literally everyone is noided as fuck on this website. Don’t post for a few months and you get accused of purchasing your account.

Just FYI, I have doubts about it which is why I didn't give you a neg.  

How is it you've been here this long and just discovered the merit system?  Do you have Meta on ignore?  

And even if you did, there's been so much talk about it all over the forum that it would be extremely hard to remain ignorant about it for almost a year now.  Do you have an explanation for how you missed one of the biggest changes on bitcointalk ever?  I mean seriously, what you wrote in the OP sounds exactly like what someone who just bought an older account would say.

Fix your signature.

"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP" doesn't look good.

I have checked almost 20 pages but didn't get an address. OP was mostly active in altcoin discussion.

True. Anyway, OP was promoting ETH from the beginning while now I can see a lot of posts in Lending which is also a good sign of hacked/sold account. I have checked some posts of OP from past and compare with now. I barely got any changes though.

Even if you post a quality one , when a user do not want you give a merit it is only a normal one because giving merits to someone depends in the users of this forum if they will give you or not. There are post that are that quality but some users give them the merits its because there is no definite users to give merits. And even the post you made is helpful but they do not want to give merits in your posts you cannot do anything about it.
