LTU_btc, congratulations on your promotion

I would like  to congratulate @LTU_btc deserve this rank. Also, I want to share the content created by BlackHatCoiner in creating a rank calculator. I used this previously as a guide to reaching my full member to senior rank now I try harder to join with the Hero member gang or Legendary gang.

LTU_btc, congratulations on your promotion

I would like to congratulate you deserve this rank.

I think you made a mistake because you congratulate LTU_btc, and you quote my post

Also, I want to share the content created by BlackHatCoiner in creating a rank calculator.

That calculator would make sense before the merit system, but that variable is now key and activity means nothing without a sufficient number of merits.

Thanks for support, mate. I really appreciate it!

You're welcome

I am not sure if this is fair to the younger members since the older members received higher forum ranks much easier.

In their defense, when older members joined this forum, crypto prices were on much lower side, they (probably) didn't join for the sake of incentives hence less spam and there was no need for systems like merit.

The merit system seems biased, there is a lot more ass kissing for merits these days than there should be. I've been here for years since 2014, and right before I was going to become a HERO rank, BAM, they introduced the merit system. I mean it makes sense, there's way too many desperate new users coming onto the platform hoping to get in with a good campaign (we've all been there), that if they didn't introduce the merit system, all of those sweet opportunities would be gone. I'm not getting ready to go to searching for the merit Gods in order to beg for more merit. I'm comfortable being a senior member. It has it's perks.
   Also the spam was getting ridiculous from the new posters.  Sometimes I wish I had merit to give to others, some people genuinely deserve the merit, because  they make stellar threads/posts, I see them all of the time. They say the voice of wisdom often falls upon deaf ears though.

just my two cents

When merit system was introduced I was full member and hence was showered with 100 merits to begin with, at that time I had no hope to reach sr member but after 3.5 years here we are. My most merits came from two threads, which I shared just for sharings sake without any expectation, no any kind of bootlicking

I’ve already become Legendary before the merit system, but that hasn’t stopped me from collecting over 1200 merits and thus confirming that 1000 airdropped merits aren’t something I don’t deserve - as some imply when discussing it. I think you have the wrong opinion about how to deserve merits, because you imply that they should be sought from some merit gods - and since my merits come from as many as 249 different members do you really think they are all gods which require ass kissing as you say?

Everyone has the opportunity to be a useful and active member, which will result in a reward with merits - without having to do any inappropriate things along the way (of course I'm not saying that such things don't exist)

I think you're mistaken, Did you actually read my post? I'm not here complaining about my rank,  I'm talking about not being able to reward others merit without seeking out the merit sources. There's plenty of opportunity for senior members like I said above in my post. I don't assume any of these people are gods, I'm being sarcastic, no humor I guess  . There was nothing negative about my post, didn't mean to offend you brother! To each his own.

I was a senior member when the merit system was implemented. Since then I have started to move and continue to make effort to improve the quality of post, increase knowledge and do so until now I have managed to collect 691 merit that have been accumulated with 250 airdrop.

I was once said to be a sycophant simply because I got some users on my Local Board to comply with the rule and improve post quality. They thought that I was trying to ask for merit from the merit source, when in fact they were the ones complaining. I get several message from established member both on my Local Board and global users not to post just because of merit. It is the best idea to enjoy all the processes and the journey to the Legendary rank. One day, I will also reach that rank. I'm enjoying the process now.

Also the spam was getting ridiculous from the new posters.  Sometimes I wish I had merit to give to others, some people genuinely deserve the merit, because  they make stellar threads/posts, I see them all of the time. They say the voice of wisdom often falls upon deaf ears though.

just my two cents

Some users are not interested in the merit system and they may ignore the OP, quality poster, and important information from send of merit. They didn't care about anything to do with merit until one day they realized that regardless of the number of post, activity, merit were a condition for rank up. Regarding spam behavior, it can't be avoided here. However, we can still do the eradication effort only by reporting a number of badly quality post to moderator.

Reading here surely did reminded me this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095980.msg49177851#msg49177851
I was on the same shoes like you guys, getting ignored, criticize and wasn't able to do things that I wanted just like helping out the newbies..., 3 years surely is fast that I even don't  remember well the things I've  done.

The uses who do not care about the merits here are the one who do not come here often. They could be anyone who come here to get some knowledge or others who only use bitcointalk to advertise their services.

On the other hand, if there is anyone who do not care about about merits and keep on posting and one day see that merit is the requirement to rank up, then he is an ignorant person probably a shit poster who do not care to read the forum rules.

I read your post very well, and I am referring to exactly the part where you say "I'm not getting ready to go to searching for the merit Gods in order to beg for more merit...Sometimes I wish I had merit to give to others, some people genuinely deserve the merit, because  they make stellar threads/posts..." .

I understand what you meant by merit gods, and that you tried to be a little sarcastic, but I don't think you need to ask anyone for anything (in this case merits), but they need to find you. If you create good and quality content you will be rewarded for it, not only by merit sources, but also by all other members. Then you too will be able to reward others for every post you think deserves it.

I was not offended in the least, there is no need to apologize - everyone chooses their path and their strategy in life
