My journey in 2019 - 2020 (Nothing is impossible)

[Bttzed03]

You did it. Congrats!

I was once asked this question when I ranked up to Full member and I think it's good to pass it on to you

~ Now, what is your next goal? If you do not have a goal you will remain at that level for a long time.

Congratulations, you have the right to be happy now because you have succeeded in achieving full member ranking. If you can maintain and improve your quality and abilities, the ranking of senior members will soon be achieved.

I dont think that complaints can help us get promoted, without effort and concrete evidence we will never achieve them. I have seen that you have been quite active in posting great things lately, there have been many sacrifices you have made and maybe you have reduced your daily rest time to write as well as possible.

I feel the same way as you, spending more time when I want to post because almost all posts are made as an effort not to be categorized as spam, junk and low quality. Your journey is still quite long, I hope you do not stop here and continue to try to provide the best for the forum and community.

It is indeed that the implementation of merit is very useful for starters who push their limit in order to become a valuable member in this community. We admit that developing this kind of posting behavior is tough especially when a user is not dedicated in helping himself/herself to grow.

Adding from the list of factors you have mentioned, I think this kind of daily habits of reading and listening to podcast and reading technical books which I myself do will help your learning curve to expand exponentially as this is the common denominator of old and high ranking members in the community.

Keep aiming high and help people as much as you can. You are doing great. 

[Riska Ananda]

congratulations friend, you have successfully reached your target.
You motivated me to start building an account. I'm new here and need a lot of guidance from you all
making a good post seems not difficult, here we as forum users must help the difficulties of fellow members.

[Sirait]

nothing is impossible in this world as long as you do it sincerely and work hard, your experience is very interesting

I have not yet received Merit because I realize that I lack focus and the quality of the posts I made is still low, in the future I will improve the quality of my posts again, hopefully I can increase my Rank to SR Member

[Rengga Jati]

Thank you so much @Bttzed03, @BITCOIN4X, @Insanerman, @Riska Ananda, and @Sirait. Your appreciation and kind words are really touched me. I hope you guys be successful in reaching your next levels, too. Keep dreaming and continue your best efforts, nothing impossible!

New paragraph:
Today, I have earned 258 Merits and I am already a Senior Member. Thank you so much for Mr. dbshck as the biggest contributor to my achievement so far. Also to others that always support and appreciate my efforts. I'm lucky to have you all.

[Findingnemo]

^You are super fast in earning merits since you entered into bustadice campaign as a fellow participant of the same campaign its really good to have you in our campaign.

Good luck for your next rank up, I hope it is going to be much sooner than the current one.

[Becky666]

I always envy those who are topping the league and dominating the arsenal. You're one of the very few forum members who have achieved so much with a short period of of time on this forum. At first, your constructive argument and on point everytimes amazes me, keep your head up comrade and have your day in laughter. Kudos on your new rank as a senior member, wishes you more fast movement up there.

Thank you, buddy. Actually, I don't target anything, just try to do my best. Maybe I am a bit lucky and post in the right place/time.
For the next level, it should take a longer time because it needs the number of merits doubled from this time.
Anyway, good luck for you, too. I hope you will be a Sr. Member soon.

-snip-

Thanks, buddy. You also can do what I achieve. You are categorized as a new member in this forum, registered: January 2019. But you have been already a Full Member. You are also an awesome member, buddy. Good luck for you, too. Hope you reach the next level soon.

[brawlyflick]

You are an amazing person, man! Got 258 merits within over 3 months after 2 years didn't earn merits. The first periods are always the most difficult times, only patient people can get through pass. Congrat to you. Hope I can do like you!

Wow that was quick mate. Ive noticed the pace of your rank up and this isnt suprising. Many have seen your countless efforts on answering here on BH. Just hope that you will continue what youve started. It will not be long before you can even reach Hero rank. Ive also seen your post also included in the posts for merit source here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231887.0 proving your a quality poster and adds useful topic here. Congrats mate.

Thank you, buddy. Yes, pretty true. Indeed it was not an easy trip, I have so many obstacles and challenges in the first/second years.
As I was a new one at that time, I needed to adapt to many things. You know, it was my first time joining a forum.

I'm sure you can do what I've done. Even you have a chance to be better. Just try your best and never give up!

Thank you, brother. You, too. Even you have better achievement than me. Your merit seems almost 700, that's amazing!
Yeah, I hope I can be Hero Member, too.

Everyone has the same opportunity if they want to become a member with a higher ranking after the merit system is implemented in the forum. Many users have proven that this merit system will not prevent members who have quality and useful posts from rising to higher rankings. I am a user who joined the forum after the merit system was implemented and I managed to prove that if we can make quality posts then we will have the opportunity to move up to a higher ranking than before and now you have also proven it.

But I get good advice from someone about merit "never make a post just to get an merit because such behavior will only make people think that you are a materialistic user and focus on posting something useful so that people will respect you".

[cryptoaddictchie]

I always envy those who are topping the league and dominating the arsenal.

Dont say that. Instead make his achievement your inspiration. Envy will only lead to your own frustration, even though he ranked up on a very short period of time its just mean that he is really outclassed some users with the same level or rank but there are lower rank here that even good when it comes to discussion than most high rank. Try to improve and youll be there in no time. In addition, if your gonna response, or create new topics, dont expect merit will come your way but just continue it. Im sure many will noticed your perseverance and effort.

[AakZaki]

But I get good advice from someone about merit "never make a post just to get an merit because such behavior will only make people think that you are a materialistic user and focus on posting something useful so that people will respect you".

That suggestion should be a top priority when we contribute to this forum, I myself have done it without thinking of anyone giving merit to me.
Most importantly I try my best to make posts or threads that are useful for other users.

Without me realizing exactly four months to this day, I have obtained 550 merits.
And I realized that was part of my effort and enthusiasm to contribute well.  And I still want to try even better.

[BITCOIN4X]

That suggestion should be a top priority when we contribute to this forum

Exactly, many others have proven it and even the number of merit received has exceeded the amount of activity. Merit is an absolute requirement if someone wants to be promoted to the next rank after sufficient activity. The purpose of implementing a merit system is to encourage users to post something that is quality, constructive and free of spam and I think the merit system has a positive impact on the forum.

It is possible that some users have different perceptions about users who have been classified as most merited, so they will assume that every post made is aimed at getting merit from other users. But if our posting habits (quality, constructive and useful) aim to actively participate and contribute in minimizing spam and other useless posts in the forum then I think this should continue and ignore the scorn of other users towards us. Are there other ways to avoid ridiculing users ?

[Rengga Jati]

Many users have proven that this merit system will not prevent members who have quality and useful posts from rising to higher rankings.

Agree, a lot of members have proven it. They can reach Full member, Senior member, Hero member, even Legendary member. So, no doubt that the new merit system doesn't limit our chance to have a high-level rank. Now, it depends on us whether having the intention to rank up & doing harder efforts to make quality posts or just complaining & doing no efforts.

"never make a post just to get an merit because such behavior will only make people think that you are a materialistic user and focus on posting something useful so that people will respect you"

Yes, that's the key point. Don't make a post only for merits (personal purpose) but make a post to help others (public purpose).

Your story is another inspirational story for my collection. Thank you for sharing it here and keep up your good work.
Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users
There is no need to say any more words about your story that reflects very well in OP and comments above mine.

[Upgrade00]

Your growth on the forum is surely an inspiration to other forum members and would encourage them to keep contributing as they would eventually get to rank up.
Consistency is the one important factor here on the forum. There are a lot of good posters that do not get to rank up at all or can not go beyond a certain rank as a result of a lack of it. You have been consistent in the forum for a long time now and you should be achieving your goal of being a hero member in no time.
