<snip> and have to find ways how to acquire more merits and be innovative in doing so.
I thought the whole idea of the merit-system was to get awarded for making quality posts, you make those the merits will follow. If it is about thinking of strategies to acquire more I think it defeats the original purpose. Just my two cents..

Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path

When your rank is upgraded, you will feel satisfied and willing to work harder than before. I have been struggling to get merit points in order to make my account better by providing useful content to the rest of the members. We should not make our primary goal only. Upgrading the account we must also take advantage of other topics and login. In serious discussions, over time our account will be upgraded

Having your first merit is projects a feeling of your actually doing something and your now being noticed and appreciated for it. Growing in rank on the other hand is like a lip unto the light and motivates you to think and post quality.

The forum is quite an otherly and well moderated one such that one with the mindset of boosting in ranks regardless of what he or she posts is an abolished fantasy which is commendable. It ensures purity of the forum, lives no room for ambiguous rubbish and motivates newbies to think, research and understand what the forum and world of Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency and other alternate cryptos are all about. Each time you want to type, it's just got to be the right content and if you don't, you can barely grow in rank. Hence, these lives a lot of we newbies in wonder how it really feels. Have you ever wondered what it felt like to grow in rank? That's a question for the newbies as I am myself one. This question has and still puzzles my mind on how it really feels. I guess a lot of you with ranks now where once in these shoes. I guess I'll find out in time by experience soon enough how it does feel. In the meantime, how about some you guys tell us, how you really felt. We would love to hear it! How about experienced
I won't go far to reading of what you wrote down here, so as not to pick out some errors (grammar errors)😂😂🤣 but. In my own terms growing in a rank is a beautiful thing and mostly it shows am contributing specifically to the forum helping those who really needs understanding.

Ranking up really does feel great. Specially if you worked hard to attain it. It is an achievement to grow even more. There will be more opportunities that awaits you every step that you've made.
Personally, I want to rank up here, but I know I cannot achieve it if my contents are very low in quality. So as much as I can, my posts should get better as I make more.
You guys should do it too, if you want to rank up, make quality post, some people will appreciate it and add merits on it that is a big help to you on ranking up.

For me growing rank up in this forum is really very very hard because no one is going to send you merit's freely. I mean no one is going to send you merit without any good effort from you. So Ranking up in this forum is the best moment and it feels like someone wins World cup.

For a fact, nothing good comes easy! Else, non of us would have loved to struggle over anything. You just have to know that we are our own competition, we have to compete with our lazy self everyday, the part of us that always makes us feel as though we can't level up with the others, as if we can't get it right. The part that says others had an edge over you and so they got it easier. So it might always seem but then, they made use of the available information and resources at their disposal which was quite limited not like we have enough now but it's okay. We just have to flow with the tides we find ourselves in. Keep testifying and get motivated.

So far I already have two merits so I am on my way from newbie to junior I did not even noticed that I have two merits already I just do what I love doing and that is reading and giving my opinion and asking a question, I take it one post at a time and let the readers decide if I deserve it.

If you follow the path you will reach on the other side and if you ready to go the extra mile then just create your own path and surely the other side might be unexplored and something new which you will be discovering it. Just do your best and share the knowledge so that those who are unaware knows it and rest of the thing will help us to learn and re-learn without much worrying about the rank.

This is probably the best answer in my observation. Actually it depends what you are expert in. You know what you want and how to achieve you goal. This forum is best for learning cryptocurrency. Bitcoin market capital is small just 200 B but it will explode very soon. Based on bitcoin other crypto will also grow. I am here to learn some lesson about cryptocurrency.

The Legendary rank has a special element of uncertainty associated to it, and that is the fact that the specific required Activity is unknown by the account, being somewhere in between the range of 775 and 1030 (*). That’s a pretty wide range, that leaves these legendary-to-be accounts wondering every fortnight if their Activity will surpass the threshold set for their account. The longer the wait, the more the thrive I figure, although some accounts, for multiple reasons, seem to have dropped the towel in the process. This is a short list of some of those Hero Members that are waiting for their Activity to chime-in: user_id name posts activity merit DateCreate DateLastAc URL 1169179 BitCryptex 1879 1022 1548 2017-09-25 2020-07-31 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1169179 657268 Lionidas 3305 1008 1012 2015-11-19 2019-03-02 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=657268 1339716 coinlocket$ 6251 994 1308 2017-11-22 2020-07-31 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1339716 4839 fornit 987 987 1001 2011-02-20 2018-02-11 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=4839 245722 Bitcoinmeetups.org 983 983 1002 2014-02-09 2020-07-12 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=245722 230980 patmast3r 2897 980 1001 2014-01-27 2018-01-27 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=230980 238821 david123 2018 966 1002 2014-02-04 2019-02-16 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=238821 120714 gdassori 1002 966 1002 2013-05-20 2019-05-16 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=120714 185404 illodin 4838 966 1003 2013-12-09 2018-03-04 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=185404 34011 abracadabra 956 956 1001 2011-07-14 2018-11-07 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=34011 35354 dancupid 955 955 1002 2011-07-22 2020-07-20 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35354 380642 bennana 952 952 1001 2014-09-23 2019-04-13 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=380642 394642 Cripto DeD 3151 952 1002 2014-11-13 2019-05-16 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=394642 12346 Explodicle 950 950 1001 2011-05-13 2020-06-03 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=12346 223359 noise23 942 942 1002 2014-01-19 2020-07-31 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=223359 493987 xRaVeNx 1614 938 1009 2015-03-26 2020-07-13 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=493987 1582324 DdmrDdmr 5139 938 4013 2018-01-04 2020-07-31 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1582324 182223 murderouskirk 1354 938 1002 2013-12-06 2018-11-25 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=182223 56297 Bitware 937 937 1001 2012-04-19 2020-01-08 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=56297 3722 Unthinkingbit 935 935 1008 2011-01-25 2019-11-15 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3722 166737 JuanHungLo 935 935 1001 2013-11-22 2020-07-13 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=166737 73326 elbill 970 924 1004 2012-11-24 2019-01-15 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=73326 1311641 tvplus006 2496 924 1271 2017-11-14 2020-07-31 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1311641 1554927 bitmover 4777 924 1656 2017-12-31 2020-07-31 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1554927 341982 mexxer-2 4082 924 1003 2014-06-10 2019-10-04 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=341982 183495 otrkid70 923 923 1014 2013-12-08 2018-05-09 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=183495 106965 TracerX 918 918 1002 2013-04-26 2018-06-01 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=106965 451278 leps 918 918 1001 2015-02-19 2020-07-16 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=451278 339196 yohannc 916 916 1012 2014-06-03 2020-07-29 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=339196 36319 SgtMoth 911 911 1004 2011-07-28 2019-06-26 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=36319 17928 piuk 1267 910 1001 2011-06-03 2015-06-19 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=17928 61493 CaptChadd 1250 910 1005 2012-07-05 2020-04-09 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=61493 183158 JorgeStolfi 7226 910 1002 2013-12-07 2019-11-30 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=183158 64396 Mapuo 909 909 1002 2012-08-16 2020-07-04 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=64396
That above is a list of Hero accounts that have already surpassed at least half of the required Activity interval, and have yet not reached their personal Activity requirement for Legendary (data as of last Friday). Note how @BitCryptex will need to wait until the next Activity window, which should be his last wait (his requires activity is therefore somewhere between 1023 and 1030). (*) The specific value depends on your UserId: Just to remind that the Activity required to reach the Legendary rank is a random value that depends on the UserId of the profile, and a secretSeed which, for obvious reasons, we do not have: <…> Currently this randomness is done with a single SQL query, which is very convenient. update smf_members set ID_POST_GROUP=21 where ID_POST_GROUP=8 and activity>=775 and activity>=775+conv(substr(sha1(concatenate(ID_MEMBER,secretSeed)), 1, 2), 16, 10)
<…> Note: I had to replace "concat" with "concatenate" in the above quote to be able to publish the post.

There's this joy it brings when ranked up to another level. If you set your goals right, ranking up won't be an issue. This forum is all about sharing informative and educational knowledge about cryptocurrency. If you're to pass your ideas or thoughts right for others to learn from, you'll be appreciated upon with a merit.

It took awhile before i actually noticed i was merited. I must say it feels good to know someone sees what you're doing and commend you for contributing to the forum. I love contributing and if merits comes it will be great but not gonna hawk for it as it will defeat the purpose of the forum. I think just relax, be yourself and contribute positively and meaningfully

Oh that account was restricted, I was a noob and didn't understand how the forum works. I'm sure I won't be the first to be restricted for being naive. It took time for me to understand what the forum is about. I did ask for advice and simply realised its not about just posting something but being meaningful and contributing positively. If I may ask, what was your purpose for the digging to the past? 😁

This seems a pretty honest answer, but unfortunately you’ve just confessed to being the owner of a banned account (restricted is an euphemism for banned). Being that so, the forum rules state that: <…> 25. Ban evasion (using or creating accounts while one of your accounts is banned) is not allowed.[e] <…> <…> 25. If you get banned (temporarily or permanently) and create a new account to continue posting / sending PMs, it's considered ban evasion. The only exception is creating a thread in Meta about your ban.<…>
What that means is that, in an account of a person is banned, so are all his past, present and future account, except for the possibility of using and Alt Account to plead for the case to be revised on Meta (which normally does not get reverted)... Archieve: http://archive.is/UwM3D

Basically, you need to create a thread on Meta, with a title that helps to identify that you are appealing the ban of a certain account. People normally label the thread something like “Ban Appeal - xxxxx”. The core of the OP should depict the account that was banned, the message you received, the type of ban, and the reasons that you consider that should be considered for the ban to be revoked or mitigated (i.e. signature ban for a certain period of time). You can see what others have done by either using the forum’s search engine, or using google with a search pattern such as: site:bitcointalk.org ban appeal. In all fairness, your current account (@celemoore) is technically ban evading, since once one of your accounts is banned, so are all your accounts. Additionally, ban appeals rarely succeed, and it is not unusual for account that appeals to come out scorched...
