BitcoinTalk Rank

[Wasimalik]

To get a higher rank, you need to earn merits. If you want to earn merits, how would you expect people to give you merits if you only post in bounty threads? It just shows what your sole intentions in joining Bitcointalk is. And knowing that you're actually a full member and don't know how to rank up is concerning.

You made valid points and yes that has been my intention so far but will be improving.

[oh brame]

you already earned some merits to rank up....i think there is no need of explaining about earning merits
do some quality post and help others question by your answer

Those are airdropped merits that he received based on his activity when the merit system was introduced. He wasn't awarded any merits by any user ever since they were implemented.

Im not even surprised why you have not rank yet because you only make post just for bounty 99% of your posts are from bounty section or ann translation threads thats why you dont know the rules how to earn merit and rank up, you must try to participate into meaningful topics and show your ideas.

 I thought OP was a bought account, for I was thinking that everybody now knows what the Merit System are for, but the fact that OP is still ignorant about this I guess I was wrong or maybe they didnt care at all in the first place as long as they can get and participate to some bounty openings.

Cheers OP as you have been granted a new knowledge by JC

I hope that people which didnt received merit from users will lose those merits and have only merit which they received from other users.It is not fair that some old members received a lot of merit only because they are old members.Some old members maybe didnt deserved so much merit but they still have them.

Take it as a measure to acknowledge forum’s "old-timers". @theymos decided on that policy, and surely pondered having everyone start from scratch but decided the former was less disruptive that a fresh start for all (and everyone back to newbie status). You can’t simply trash out a ranking system and start from cero with no consequences, so I guess the lesser evil was chosen.

Over time, earned merit is being used in some discrete circumstances for features that are not influenced by the airdropped merit. For example, some campaigns require a rank but also a certain amount of earned merits, and the DT changes that are taking place right now have earned merits as part of the core algorithm.
