Why newbies involves in copying already treated topic

[chinedu4210]

I am a newbie, let me be practical and realistic to the c above comments. You send a child to a college to acquire the best grade and the child found out that getting a best grade come with a lot of merit but yet he's not mentally prepared, what did you expect from the child,copy and paste information to get merit( cheating).
Every newbie need merit to boast there performance but it difficult getting merit but I have a good news for all newbie, take time out and study the forum, read other people comment, make your own research , with time you get merit.
Note somebody want to know how mentally balance you answer crpyto questions, get help from friend, with time you will smile home

Many begginers are involves in plagiarism in order to earn merits and speed up activities to join  quick campaign that will enrich them.

This speech is the most important and it's the answer of your question.
That's why I prefer to create some new rules for bounty participation.Again suggest that only Member rank users should be eligible for Bounty Campaign.
Then Ranking up race by breaking forum rules from New comers will decrease a lot.
And forum will have much less spamming.

Member rank, for bounty? This rule can be added, it can reduce the amount of spamming. But this will cause many more problems, people will try to use different strategies to rank up the account to join the bounty. As a result, spamming will increase rather than decrease. Those who do bounty spamming on the bounty board, which does not affect the entire forum. And those who break the rules can't stay here long.

I think everyone gets a bit of a rush when they get a merit, I can't really comment on the ranks because I'm already at the top but I don't know if people are focusing too much on ranks and merits and less on providing discussion, insight and quality... If you're active here and interested in the currency you should be able to earn no matter (if you have any posts of good quality).

They are really forgetting the true essence of this forum if they continue on focusing about getting a higher rank instead of giving relevant and meaningful discussion or thoughts. Ranks are somehow important because there are newbies here that who have a prior knowledge about bitcoin and they are not completely ignorant and you will see in the quality of their post that they wants to learn more.

But anyway, if I understand what you're trying to say after reading it like 5 times: a person halving a "newbie" rank doesn't automatically mean that the person actually knows nothing about Bitcoin. Rank only helps us determine how long a certain person has been here, and how much has he/she contributed throughout his/her time here.

But rank's main use is for us to know who are the most trusted and most professional in terms of this forums. By that, we can ask for help on them if we want to know something that we don't know in this forum. But lower rank doesn't mean that you can't help other people with your opinions.

Your post is fine, and has a valid point (even if people react negatively, it's ok). Just don't ask for merits, it's much like upvotes on Reddit, if you say 'pls upvote', people will flag you instead even if your content was good. It's just some psychological thing, I guess.

Most contributive and constructive posts don't even get merited enough if posters aren't in the clique of those reading it or their names don't ring a bell. A lot of posts get merited simply because of the usernames of the posters, and necessarily not because of what is posted. I have seen this a lot of times with low quality posts. And that reminds me of what Nullius posted concerning the lopsidedness of meriting posts (among other things) in this forum and I like the way he capitulated it variously here. I think the OP shares same sentiment and I believe that to be true too. Newbies suffer more of this merit drought. I sincerely hope that the merit sources here look in the way of these newbies who have quality posts and merit them.

Sometimes it'll make more sense when accusation are given with examples, don't be afraid though as no one can actually harm you when you're doing the right thing or saying the truth. We're all human don't forget that. Subconsciously you might be drawn to meriting a certain users due to their posting quality. If time without numbers you have observe a certain users constantly delivery quality posts automatically you'll begin to see everything he writes as worth meriting (which most times it's) that's why most users tends to get merited always even when what they have written doesn't make any sense to you but it must have made sense that the merited.

Other times due to laziness of reviewing posting history, the meriter tends to over merit a certain post. You see them giving outrageous merit to the post. You might come up with an argument that that topic doesn't deserve such meriting but that's a subjective discussion since in their defense the OP is a quality user.

One thing is for your post to be worth meriting another is for it to be visible to meriters, don't blame them when posts are in boards which not many meriters visit nevertheless don't give up on delivery outstanding posts as the very day your account would be remember, you'll likely get rewarded for all at ones.

Newbies are so lazy to learn more about cryptocurrency and blockchain. So they end up copying and plagiarizing the content or the topic, and they don't take credits to the author because they are desperate to earn merits and rank up in a short time for them to be able to join in signature campaigns. But we all know it is not going to happen because it takes a lot of time for us to rank up and we need to make our quality content for us to earn merits.

Yep, that could be a reason — laziness. Some just change the words to a synonymous one but the arrangement of words is completely the same. They refuse to exert some efforts like read it first and then translate it based on their own understanding. Maybe they think that no one would notice that they just copied it but there are so many eyes watching in this forum and they are very wary when it comes to plagiarism.

But of course, not all newbies are like that. There are some who really commits themselves in being this forum and that reflects on their posts.

It is not laziness for sure instead it is to achieve a certain amountnof post needed when they join signature bounty campaign where they need to post a required number of post per week to get a  stake. Most of this kind of signature bounty campaign has no strict rules with the bounty manager even when it meas copy of pasting from the other users or posting irrelevant replies for not reading the content of the topic itself. This is why most of the bounty hunters resort to this kind of activities because they too have other alt accounts join to q different bounty campaign which also required the same rule on requiring them to post a minimum post per week to get stake.

But of course, not all newbies are like that. There are some who really commits themselves in being this forum and that reflects on their posts.

Yes, there are others have changed already knowing that bounty hunting is one of the shittest opportunity to earn here due to a lot of scam projects.

If anyone posts a very good post in the mega spam thread, those won't be read by many members and hence they will not get the required merits. Also mega spam thread are populated by the signature campaigns participants , most of them normally focus more on writing post, then reading them.
If you posted something which is already been posted a 100 times, even in a good quality, don't expect much merit for such post.
