How to earn merit in 6 EASY steps! (2019-2020 Edition)

[arbiter5]

1. Create a topic
2. Use a really compelling and heavily encouraging title, like so:
 
3. Describe how you've been a pleb in the past and how "it's been a long journey", and how you've realized that the only way to earn merit is to make good posts
4. Insert some statement that can encourage the newbies
5. ? ? ?
6. Profit!

What is it with the merit threads recently - feels like 2018 all over again. I thought everyone knows by now that the best way to earn merits is to be in the cycling club.

Not all people can be a member of the club, it depends on CH's analysis. It really depends also with the approval of the Fox.

Is my topic intent not that obvious that I need to manually state that it's purely sarcasm?

[cabalism13]

... it's purely sarcasm?

Certainly lacks something LoL... so yeah?
😂 Couldn't figure what it should be maybe just an egg without a yolk... NVM.
Anyways I have seen that topic and it really is something that is obviously a... might not mention it... those kind of post was meant to encourage, but this time its definitely not worth of a Merit, as for the time being their are already quite a large number who're making an advance. So it is not necessary anymore unlike the old days.

I'm not fond of merits since I'm become a senior member by default but this kind of strategy is somehow not effective if your goals is only to attract merits. Step 6 is the worse part there where you aim is just for this.

Guess I'm lucky but I will not waste it and prove that I can gain merits too not by creating "topic" like what you showed.

[UserU]

Thanks, now I can start one too and be a Merit whore.

Oh wait

[Daniel91]

You can try any strategy to earn merits but still the best way is to write quality posts,  something what help others.
You can't cheat people and they will recognise if you are merit hunter or somebody who have something valuable to share.
By luck you may receive a few merits but in the long term you must contribute something to the community if you want to progress in the forum.

I see that your How to earn merit in 4 EASY steps! was locked.
Well done on finding another way to earn merit  

Joking aside, OP's example and the many "close to ___ rank" topics have gained plenty of merits before. Many members also thought of doing the same because it works in some cases.

1. Make a nice art.
2. Post it on the art contest thread by theymos
3. ? ? ?
4. La-di-da! Merit + btc prizes.

Feels like that wasn't old yet, anyways I don't think it will be done again by theymos but during that moment many (including myself) had the chance to get amounts of merits from different sources and I'm thankful to it that it made me Sr. Member right now. By the way, are you one of those users that missed the chance to earn there, am I right?

It isn't necessarily you have to create a topic to earn merit/s there are other ways you may earn them even just by replying to a certain topic like giving them valuable information, helping them or you somehow made them realize that what you said or replied is something funny and has sense of usefulness to a certain user. Just my two cents.

By the way, why does your title still for 2019?

[NavI_027]

Here's what I observed, if you only make threads with general topics or most appropriate to say "not so extraordinary" topics like to OP's example, chances of getting is merits is still less because I'm pretty sure that it was disscussed couple of times ago already. Imagine how big our forum so it's impossible that no one discussed "How to avoid gambling addiction" (just another example) before, right? .

If you really want to get tons of merit then show some numbers as much as possible: like infographs, stats, codes etc. etc. because such threads attracts merit givers the most .

Without the six steps, I think only one step, don't mind about merit, instead mind about your discussions and build them up as best as possible. When you don't mind about merit, merit will more easily come to you.

I'd say:
1. Put some effort into your posts, annacdotal or actual evidence can go a long way in certain discussions.
2. Involve yourself in discussions quite a bit - often you earn merits if you offer your opinion in some discussions, if it's generic and useless then it's generic and useless and you won't get anything but normaly if you're not after anything with a discussion then that's the time you can get the merited.

Is it a merit a mile (someone's being really healthy)!?

Is my topic intent not that obvious that I need to manually state that it's purely sarcasm?

Sorry, my voice of consciouness also missed this it's very monotonous when reading test... Putting a *sarcasm* sign helps occasionally (even in tiny font).

[DaCryptoRaccoon]

The best way to earn merit is be a good member and make sure your post's are insightful and have good content, there are a lot of members here who merit those who show some drive and passion towards bitcoin and help keep the forum safe.

Other than that shit posting silly question or post with almost no content will find you in the cold zone where no one will interact with your post's so keep the following in mind.

1. Post only insightful information or valid questions that don't have 1000's of post's already answered.
2. DON'T Shitpost.
3. Be a good member and be active help new comers to the space and make them feel welcome.

I believe OP is ironically talking about this thread submitted a few days ago. But at the same time, I suspect he ironically posted this thread to get some easy merit.... Damn, are you guys coming on every board now with these merit-hunting threads?

EDIT: must've missed the other message under OP mentioning it was sarcasm. sorry, OP

I have to admit there is a lot of boring, merit whoring in Meta. I don’t want to upset anybody but some of it is so transparent. I like LoyceV a lot but some of the other guys, their statistical threads related to Merit bore the shit out of me & take up valuable Meta space.

I don’t give a crap who has the most net Merit over a period of 30 days or whatever. Jesus Christ, get some pussy.

This is a fantastic forum, there are some great people here, some I have met & become real life friends with. My presence here has helped me learn a lot of really important things but all of those things are related to bitcoin. I couldn’t give a damn about Merit but hey, some people need a hobby

You missed something, now B&H section becomes the place for people who want to hunt merits by posting their rank up journey story or them near to achieve their goals.

Haha, yeah or.....

I have x amount of Merit to send to x amount of people
(Why announce it, just do what you’re supposed to do & reward good posts by Meriting them).
