congratulations ones again on your new achievements and the past awards, the awards are good ones. I am working hard to get one soon.

[Broadanbig]

Congratulations @fillippone on your achievements here. You are such a legend to reckon with. I looked at your profile and I must confess that you have gone far a milestone here. The record you have built for yourself over the years here is very much intimidating and frightening. I admire your work strength and capabilities. You are an embodiment of knowledge here and have imparted to many members here as I see some already attest to your prowess and that settles it.
 Once again, congratulations!

[Obulis]

Although written some years back but one can't deny the obvious facts in this writeup... To start, this material is not just an info to newbies, it also come with it hope for newbies. Contain in this guide is a compound comprehensive summary of ranking and ranking related components and approaches .. As for the hope it brings, it redefines the burning quest for rankup(more merits) with patience and willingness to up scale one skill to become more merit able...  The info here appears to be some what timeless that is why I  read it first and then again before dropping my views....

[Zackz5000]

Congratulations on your achievement @fillippone for it took patience and consistency to get to where you are now, your Merit record is excellent.

[Kelward]

I want to appreciate @Fillippone, for your wonderful contributions in this Bitcointalk forum. I believe that most accounts in this forum have benefited from your merit source and some are still benefiting, you're a beacon of hope in earning merit in this forum. I've personally benefited immensely from your merit source since my newbie days and I'm using this opportunity to say a big thanks to you, for your untiring generosity to helping others to rank up in the forum. The history of your ranking up is a motivation for many of us that came after you, congratulations on your achievements in the forum.

[Cityhunter34]

A big Congratulations to you Sir for this wonderful achievement in this forum because your merit history shows that you are a big contributor in this Bitcointalk forum and I'm very happy for you and I will like to be like you when I grow up in the future, congratulations once again for your merit excellent record in this forum.

[sotelorene]

Thank you all for the messages and the merits! I just noticed I’m halfway to Sr. member! Well done!keep on giving I will try to be generous too!

Wow! I see this thread was made long ago and then you were below full member and now, today, you are a legendary a big congratulations sir, and I believed you get to this height or level because you were determined, courageous, consistent etc and above all you set a target. However, I quoted this because you made a comment that looks like a promise that you will try to be generous reason because people have been generous to you back then though not everybody but today, tomorrow and forever you have proved what you said some years ago I mean you now have where you distribute merit regardless, indeed you are a principle person I don't mean to flatter you but fulfilment of word(s) needs to be congratulate cause there are many who say such but never make it happen even when they have gotten to that height or level. Once again thank you for your generosity  and I wish you more height to attain.

I got there getting merits from a lot of BitcoinTalk members:

As a newbie in this forum coming across this thread really made my day better because it gave me an assurance that I will surely rank up some day, but for that ranking up to happen I need to buckle up if I really want results. Your merit history shows that you earned hundreds of merits in less than three months and you also ranked to legendary within three years and that says a lot about how much work you have put in your journey to become one of the reputable users in bitcoinTalk forum.

One of the things we (newbies) need to understand is that being patient and consistent in the forum alone without making good and quality post is a waste of time, at first when I joined the forum and I see most of the reputable users here have been around for years, I usually say to myself that before I spend up to three years I would be an expert (in my mind, I thought I would just get lucky one day and rank up overnight.Lol) I have seen users that registered in the year 2018 but are still in the jnr member rank.
 
All I see here is; hard work (quality posting) + patience + consistency = earning merits and ranking up faster. Congratulations on your achievements SIR.

[Sonia_123]

A big congratulations to you, wish to be like you some day. Can you please lecture me more on how you got there. So amazing seeing all your success . From what i have seen ,it shows me how tirelessly you have worked to earn all these merits to yourself, thumbs up for you fillippone, your contributions and supports has really helped alot of persons in the forum in terms of knowledge, grades and otherwise.

[Dakcrypto]

I really liked ke the fact that we are been encouraged but I'm not always active here I go off for months.

with dedication such as yours I believe anyone can rank up but if only we agree to sacrifice the time and line the right things we will surely achieve a high level of merit.

I haven't been here I don't even make any merit any more so it's very bad or me and I really appreciate you @fillippone for encouraging people like me.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

That is good news as it sound more loud and more motivating, as it always a dream of any one with set goal to keep been promoted and move higher, this show that no effort of good work that don't have a reward even if the reward may not be instant one it may surely come, I felt deeply motivated working in an environment where progress is a watch word.

[Notalony]

I desire to be like you or even more than you some day, congratulations, you deserved even more of an accolade, you tremendous meaningful contributions in the forum can really be paid for, keep up the good work sir, you are indeed a role model to most of us coming up and we will get there soon, a journey of a thousands miles they say begins with a step, am happy to be in this forum where alot of knowledge are shared.

[fillippone]

Guys,
Take a break.
Stop thanking me.
This thread is not for pumping my ego, but to learn something about the forum.
I wanted to teach you how to write a good post.
Go out there and write a few good ones instead.
This is the best way to thank me.

[Cossyblack]

I have been going through your posts and I must say you are an excellent writer and  your posts are good and remarkable.i have not just been reading your posts but i have also been learning a lot  from them. Your tremendous growth in this forum shows they is always a reward for hard work and I will also implore you to continue to be generous,guide newbies on how to create quality posts and to rewards hardworking members.

[Iamgoat]

Legendary, shall I think as a feasible objective for next halving?
Having the joy of the protocol being enacted for yet another time, being promoted to Legendary and maybe a decent bull run!
Only 882 merits left!

if you keep it up this way, chances are you will have enough merit to be a legendary member before required activities, unfortunately the activity is not something you can work on, it's annoying to say the least, and if a day passes without posting you miss the count. i hope that one day this "army" ranking system will not be used on the forum anymore and all the ranking becomes merit related only.

Sir @Fillippone, I have to be very frank with you. I have get the kind of motivation I got from you today for a long while as far as this forum is concerned. I joined the forum sometimes October last year and by next 3 months, I will be one year old as a registered member of the bitcointalk forum. What I have faced through out these period is a lots of ups and downs due to my inability to write effectively and my fear of being criticized of my opinions.

The truth is, I have doubted my knowledge about bitcoin even when I have taken good time off my outside schedules to learn basic knowledge about bitcoin on websites such as LearnMeABitcoin.com, I don't feel I know much yet to be bold enough to actively participate in discussions. That have kind of reduced my efforts to contribute actively. I have tried couple of time to improve on my posting, which I did, but I've not been brave enough to face it squarely.

To be honest with you, I just bookmarked your thread (this particular thread) on my browser and will be reading over it couple of times more. I have also visited a few links of other threads you attached and will be visiting more as I return back to the thread again. This is one of the most interesting all-in-one article I've seen in this forum which delves into a better part of the forum discussions such as the Merit system, Writing patterns, FAQs, Merit begging and other basic information the newbies need to hear about this forum.

The most motivating aspect of this thread was the first set of replies you got and how the response of those people became magical in its manifestation in your journey today. It shows how consistency in learning and participation bring about mastery in any field. Thank you for this please.

My advise and plea is for you to begin weekly columns on this forum to motivate other newbies and Jr. members like us to learn more. The best kind of knowledge is found in continuous learning and it can be achieved with experienced members like you. If the forum can allow that (weekly column), please attempt to try it out because so many of us will learn from it. Lastly before I forget, I wanted mentioning, there's no better board you could have posted this thread like the Beginners & Help and we hope to come across more of the soonest. Thank you once more!

[Cmanayuba]

Congratulations Legendary 👏👏

As a new forum member who is passionate and determined in learning everything about crypto space this will really go a Long way for us... Thank you so much for this piece 🙏

I haven't been stable and consistent in the forum, am still trying to find my feet around the community learning and proceeding with my inexperience. Reading about your journey and milestone achieved, am very impressed and motivated about my own growth.

Congratulations! I can see you're 50 merits left to 17,000.

[Interviews] with Bitcointalk members

I think I can share with you some suggestion on how improve your chances of writing good posts, and then getting merits.

• It’s all about the knowledge. Try to think about merits as a knowledge exchange: you give merit when you learn something new, you get merit when you teach something new, or you make other people think about something old in a new way. Once you progress in the knowledge you can start answering other users' question and solving their problems, or start contributing to  the forum providing new resources or tools, if you have the skills. Just try to figure out the best way to do so that suits your capabilities and resources.

Truly inspirational and motivational that how a member who got registered on Feb 28, 2018 got his 16k merit on July, 20th 2024. I just read this post and the guideline which OP shared about how to get merits here are very informative. Main thing is one must try to seek knowledge, update himself and help others by replying to there queries or initiating informative threads. I read this post a bit late but I suggest everyone whether new or old to this forum to go through this post.
I have shared this post on my local board also, so me fellow members can also read and get benefited.
 
Thanks for sharing Fillippone.
