I expected a lot more posts and interests.

Me too, I have been keeping an eye on the thread since the day you posted it, as I promised to also give out the few Smerits I have if I find good newbie posts, but only about four newbies have till now dropped links to their posts, I'm disappointed at that number and I'm wondering if the reason is that this newbies lack good posts or are too lazy to drop a link to their good posts, when many times we see threads from them asking how they can earn merits.

I actually gave merits to @kinggta10, because i think he really put work into making that post, it's all about consistency, if he only he continued to make good posts such as that, he maybe could have ranked up a little.

If there is no newbie interest in this action then I would rather help other forum members and reward their quality posts with merits

That is not a bad idea, and also, trying to help newbies rank up, should not also stop you from giving merits to other forum users(other ranks).

Thank you for your support.
I really hope that reason why only a few newbies reported their posts here isn't because others have nothing to report or they are too lazy

Any way, we will see what happens next and if more candidates will report their quality posts.
I also rewarded user @kinggta10 with merit and I'm really astonished that he didn't receive any merit for his really good post since last year.
Even if only he used this chance to report good quality post and finally receive well deserved merit and become jr. member, I think this topic fulfilled intended purpose.
Good luck @kinggta10.
Now waiting for other newbies.

I guess my post isn't worthy enough, anyways congratulations to @kinggta10 and big ups to you guys for helping.👏

Thank for the opportunity, hope I too won a merit here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5199962.msg53026321#msg53026321

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?

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:

Quote

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

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
Since I received just a few applications for merits until now I decided to extend my offer also to jr members.
I hope they will accept this offer and send some good suggestions which I can reward with merits.
If not, I will use merits I have to help others.

OK finally some contribution, I was afraid that I will have to lock this topic because of no suggestions for good quality posts which I can reward with merits Cheesy

As new members you already wrote some very good posts in this forum, congratulation!
I gave you merit for the post about mining but if no more contributions in the next a few days I may check out your other posts again and give you more merits.
Just keep going like this and I'm sure you will make a fast advance in this forum.
I'm glad if I can support such users, who are trying to contribute something to the forum and be constructive.
Ok, waiting for new suggestions.

Ok since no new application for merit I decided to reward one more post from you with merit, about overpopulation.
Very interesting and detailed.
Honestly, when I started this topic I expected much more applications from newbie and jr members since they always complain it's difficult to get merits and progress in this forum.
But, because there are no applications I consider to lock this topic and use my merits to support more my local community.

I will list couple of my posts for your review.

Thank you for application but I can't reward your posts with merits.
Your posts are to short, without real content and I don't see that your posts contribute to this forum, bring something new or help someone
If you have some other posts you can report it here and I will check it out.
Anybody else want to apply here with good quality posts?
If no more application and no interes I may lock this topic.

Hello there,
I posted my link since forever and you didn't even give a comment about it , you just neglected it. Well I think it is only normal you give the next available person since people didn't turn up as expected.

In my post , I talked about ways to be free of scam projects which has been plaguing the ecosystem.

If you still don't find my post worthy, no harm as you are just trying to help. A good heart you have got.

Godspeed.

This is the post you're referring to that was neglected right, while the post may not be too bad, neither is too good also, but I would advice that if you really have any plans to earn merits for yourself, you must decide if you want to rank up or if you want to continue with your social media bounties, because thats what I could find when I went through your post history.

I actually reviewed it, hoping I could find some other posts other than the one you linked, but I could not, maybe thats why you have not earned any merits on the forum, the merit sources and users who give merits most times check post history before they do so, especially if it is a newbie they want to give merits to.

Quote from: Cracker563 on November 20, 2019, 09:56:04 AM

As @Coyster said, if you focus on other parts of forum other than bounty section, and if you continue writing ok posts, merit will find your way soon and you might learn new things in the process.

Quote from: Cracker563 on November 20, 2019, 09:56:04 AM

Well, I checked your post already first day and in my opinion it's not something what contribute to the forum or help other users.
I have certain standards and criterion for merits I share and I just didn't find that your post reached that standard.
Sorry about that.
I want to help newbie and jr members with merits here but it's not unconditional.
Every merit source have responsibility to reward really good quality posts and I'm trying my best to fulfil this big responsibility I received.
Hope you can understand and accept it.

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.

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 think it's a great initiative by senior members of this forum to help newbies. This will also help in discouraging the trading of merits. I hope many more senior members will start such threads.

I think it is open for Newbies and Jr. Members. Hope I can participate in this Giveaway. Thank you.

I like your art work you made for the contest so I gave you merit for it.
I see that you already received a lot merits for this work so I hope that you will receive even main reward 😁
Thank you for all suggestions.
Boss, I'm sorry but I don’t feel that your post is good enough for merit.
Waiting for the new suggestions for merits.

It's okay sir. Thank you so much for your time

Merit giveaway is still open so hurry up!
Still waiting for new applications.
I would like to see suggestions for good quality posts from newbie and jr members and reward really good posts which contribute to this forum or helping others.
I can't say how much more merits I can give this month but right now I can promise to give at least 2 more merits so really hoping to see more suggestions for merits here.
Thank you for understanding.
