1. Create a topic reporting one super obvious phishing site 2. Wait for the merits to rake in 3. ? ? ? 4. Profit!
Seriously though. I get it, newbies need this information. But we don't need a separate thread for every new phishing site. Just create one sticky thread on the Beginners & Help section concerning phishing sites so we can already be done with it.

1. Create a topic reporting one super obvious phishing site
Not always true , Create a topic for that when you have a proof it and it should be in the Scam Accusations2. Wait for the merits to rake in
Dont expect that you get Merits , sometimes you get not a single one ! Even the post is good in your eyes dosnt mean that others share the same ! 3. ? ? ?
? ? ? . Dont know what you want to say with that. 4. Profit!
If you doing this only for profit its the wrong motivation , it should be done for the Forum and for other Users that they are stay and be safe.

No! This is how it should be: - 1. Create a super sarcastic topic.
- 2. ???
- 3. Profit.
It will work, see OP. You've earned it though, because this is what's really happening in the Beginners' board. . There was an alternative method ( but this opportunity had ended now): - 1. Go to online art template sites
- 2. Type "Happy 10th Anniversary Bitcointalk"
- 3. Save and Download.
- 4. Post it here: 10th anniversary art contest
- 5. Profit.

Do you think the topic belongs to Meta board. If you still think your topic is helpful, you should move it to Beginners & Help.

Nah, don't give a single crap about me earning merits. Fucking true with that art contest thread though. It's just a logo-generator spam fest. Do you think the topic belongs to Meta board. If you still think your topic is helpful, you should move it to Beginners & Help.
We're talking about merits. It sure as hell fits better here on the Meta section.

Maybe some members got way more merits than were deserved, but I did see some good submissions in that thread that must have taken a bit of work. Anyway, that thread is kind of a one shot deal so I wouldn't worry about it if there were people creating crap just to get merits. I'm absolutely sure that happened, because word spreads when a lot of merits are being given out in a certain spot. It's like heroin users flocking to areas where there's a lot of overdoses because they know the dope is strong. Sad but true. - 1. Go to online art template sites
- 2. Type "Happy 10th Anniversary Bitcointalk"
- 3. Save and Download.
- 4. Post it here: 10th anniversary art contest
- 5. Profit.
LOL. You're just about as cynical as I am. Members were starting to create their own threads about the anniversary if I'm not mistaken, and they all struck me as merit-grabbing attempts. You kind of have to have been on the forum a while to really be cheerful that it's been around for ten years. I highly doubt Jr. Members care all that much.

I have same feelings and from my raw data in Top-100 merited-artists in the 10th anniversary art contest, I believe there are hundreds of users ranked up within the art contest period, and there are users collected enough merits for their next ranks and only waited for enough activities. Some of them stucked for months/ years since the birthday of merit system, but fastly ranked up with the art contest. I want to do a topic on "How many Artists collected enough merits to rank up from the Art contest" but I am lack of skills to scrap data. I think data-scraping experts like @LoyceV and @DdmrDdmr can do this. LoyceV presented data in The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days. Quickly glance at stats, I saw lots of artists in the list.

I have a different tough about these steps LOL, you can do this: - Go to WO thread
- Makes memes from the current condition of bitcoin.
- Post it at WO thread
- Profit
Since everyone doesn't really care about the circulation merit on WO Thread, creating memes can be another option if you cant makes a good post/thread to earned merits.

This is not about report phising site. They give you merit because you tell others about scam phising site and they think your topic is helpful to avoid scam.

the moment people stop worrying about earning merit and just post normally is the moment they start actually earning merit. => 1 easy step: don't worry too much about it!

It's not to complicate to earn merit, you don't need 4 but only one step - quality. If you write good quality posts, something what contribute to the forum or can help others, you will receive merits. Some people maybe can't write good posts in English but we already have many local merit source so even in local sections it's not to difficult to earn merits. Also, we already have a lot merit giveaway topics in the forum so if you feel that some good posts are not rewarded with merits you can report it in such topics.

<…> I want to do a topic on "How many Artists collected enough merits to rank up from the Art contest" but I am lack of skills to scrap data. <…>
I kind of gave that a go. Nothing fancy; just to get a quick draft idea (i.e. not exact), and not fully completed (I only tried to mark those that received 20 or above merits in the art contest (as of last Friday morning): see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5194029.msg53158763#msg53158763. As to the four easy steps to merit, I don’t think that there are that many cases, and when (and if) they become a more generalized trend, they receive less merits due to recurrence of the topic. I’ve just taken a look at the most merited posts there since September 2019 ( https://public.tableau.com/shared/Y8DTWD88M?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link), and it’s pretty diverse.

No! This is how it should be:
OR - 1. Create meaningless merit statistic threads
- 2. Keep it updated in the best way you can therefore bumping and always making the thread visible
- 3. Concentrate on engaging in conversation in the meta board to portray yourself as a quality contributor.
- 4. Keep calm & wait, then profit
Before now, create threads on complimenting the system or complain and your post history will be reviewed probably earning you some merit (if only you got some decent post). Enjoy 😁.
