[MERIT GIVEAWAY] Open to Newbies and jr members

[Daniel91]

For some time now I have been reading and watching new members struggle to earn merit and progress in this forum.
It seems to me that the older members were more fortunate in this regard and did not have to fight so much for higher ranks in the forum.
In any case, I would like to give support to brand new members who have just registered in this forum and do not yet have the knowledge and experience about bitcoin or crypto to write very good quality posts.
So, please try to do some research about any topic connected with btc or crypto and write post on the forum, in the correct category.
After that, report your post here, share link from the post.
I don't have much available merits but I can promise now to reward 3 the best posts, by personal criteria, with merit.
All reported posts should be in English and please only publish the link, not the whole post.
The merit contest is open from now and will last for a week or two until enough quality submissions are collected.

This will be difficult and as you pointed out merit you can give is very limited.
This won't change big picture, but its little grain of sand to create beautiful beach
I hope you will receive decent submissions.

I support this idea, and I'd also help out on this thread with a few merits if i am to read any of the submitted posts and it's really good.

In any case, I would like to give support to brand new members who have just registered in this forum and do not yet have the knowledge and experience about bitcoin...

I think you should provide some clarity though, when you say brand new accounts, do you mean the contest is strictly for just newbies alone or accounts that have just registered on the forum and haven't made any posts(brand new account)

So, please try to do some research about any topic connected with btc or crypto and write post on the forum, in the correct category

And if newbies whom have made posts but haven't earned any merits are included, would you accept a post they made before this thread or only posts made after.

Nice idea@Daniel91

I'm not sure if my rank is permitted to participate in this merit contest but I'm dropping this here just incase.
Here is my submission from 3 weeks in the 10th anniversary art contest. Got 2 merits from Theymos though.

[Daniel91]

OK to clarify, I would like to support newbies who didn't receive any merit yet for their posts.
I will accept also posts made before this thread but not yet reported here.
If you received any merit please don't apply here.
So, yes, not just brand new accounts but any newbies without merit can apply.
Coyster thank you for your offer, I hope others will join as well, support with their merits, so that we can reward even more newbie users here and help them start in this forum.

It is a good thing to do in my opinion. It's really to find such newbies that have a good posts that didn't received any single merit. I think that newbies that didn't get merit but have posts that are meritable are most likely jr. members before until they ranked down to newbies after the rank requirements have changed by theymos. If only brand new accounts then mostly are still learning things.

I published this last year but was unlucky, kindly check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4701953.msg42442447#msg42442447

[Cracker563]

Wow! This is generosity at it peak, and a very good initiative. We really need more people we are not just all about themselves but care about others in the forum as well. This is really good of you

That's nice of you. Yes, I completely agree that this forum is putting lots of pressure on the new accounts. Probably because of the number of spammy accounts increasing with the popularity of the forum... but i just find it 'unpleasant' to only be able to post something every 360 seconds lol.. bought a copper membership because of that. Maybe that's how this forum maintains server fees... maybe not.

I will try to post something and get back here. Thank you once again!

Ok,  I understand that newbie don't have experience and knowledge and can't write quality posts like more experience members in this forum but they also need to start somewhere,  right?
I can't help many newbie but at least I can help some of them and maybe inspire other "older " members to join and support this action with their merits.
I already see some interesting application so let's continue and help our new friends in the crypto world 😀

[Rikafip]

Nice one OP, i will join this as well.

I was a newbie few months ago, so i know how it is, and how much i appreciated early merits i got, as it was incentive for me to keep working on my posting quality so i hope this will have same effect on others.

I am looking forward to submissions, especially from those that think  they are undeservedly stuck at newbie rank for quite some time.

I started to look through your latest replies to see if I thought that any were merit worthy. I noticed that you tend to use nested quotes, and I don't award merits to such posts. Quote pyramids are really annoying, and don't really contribute to the reply. You should focus on the point you are addressing, and not duplicate the whole conversation.

[xaRocket]

As a newbie, I am very happy and really appreciate the efforts like this from the members who have a high ranking.

Previously, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mess up this thread, I just wanted to say thanks because I didn't have a post to review.

For the time being, I'm just trying to read and understand the rules of this forum in the hope that I don't crash into the rules here.

I hope the thread like this will remain until later, until the time when I have a post to review.

No pressure, there are similar threads to this one which have been started, I'm not sure how many are still active. There are also other ways to gain merits; other users and sources. If you consistently post quality content, it would definitely be rewarded. Navigating the forum is very important.m especially for newbies, while we wait for the implementation of the welcome message, you can check out this suggested welcime video: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194117.0

OK, I just reviewed the merit applications so far and one post in my opinion really deserves it. OK, so winner today is.....

I have to admit I'm a little surprised here.
Given that many newbies complain about how difficult it is to get their first merit and how difficult it is to progress in this forum, I expected a lot more posts and interests.
If there is no newbie interest in this action then I would rather help other forum members and reward their quality posts with merits.
Ok, I edited the title a little bit so that it might be clearer what this topic is about, so let's wait and see.
Any newbie want to report his/her good quality post?

[Cracker563]

Maybe alot of other topics have been created after this to push it down, but I  think the new title should suffice and get the thread flooded with comments. Really good thing you are doing here.
I dropped mine as well , if you find it Worthy.

IMHO you might want to rephrase your thread. At a glance, I thought it's some wide-scale project until I realized it's a merit giveaway thread. Below is a title  example which you could apply or adjust to your preference:

[MERIT GIVEAWAY] Open to Newbies/ Jr Members

Then from there, your OP could be short but straightforward:

I'm giving up to 3 Merits to each user who links his/ her helpful posts. Just post yours if they deserve Merits
