Boosting Morale for newbies. Giving newbie a merit.

[jademaxsuy]

Boosting morale of the newbies would be cool idea instead of making them believe that the forum could let them earn by joining bounty campaign. Most of the new members here probably are confused and do not know what to do. Most need guidance and do not know on how and where to start learning with cryptocurrency. This is the reason why some of the newbie after learning the basics like creating wallet, transferring crypto to exchange wallet and do the trading forgot what is the essence and purpose of cryptocurrency. More likely they are becoming hackers, fraudster and scammers taking advantage on the cryptocurrency decentralized system.

I do believe that all of it could be avoided if only we will allow the newbie to start with the scratch for advising them to make more post or replies in this section rather than browsing other section to which they will be having hard time to understand. As we all know that cryptocurrency is a little bit complicated at first but when does know the basic then it will be easier right then. The application also make it more difficult getting afraid to try especially if it is the first time to use like in transferring crypto from wallet to exchange or wallet to wallet.

Newbies could learn here all of those things in a slow and smooth process. The mindset here is very important. Most newbie were told the wrong ideology about the forum and that is how they can earn huge in the forum which is wrong. More newbies just wanted to join bounty hunting and excited to wear signature for them to count stake weekly compliance to get rewards. They only make the forum worst due to their spamming activity and even becoming a plagiarist for copying and pasting posts of others. So, I think it is a good idea to suggest them to visit more often in this section to continue learning about cryptocurrency(the basic questions asks). As we all know that learning cryptocurrency is not for all but it will be only to those who are interested to learn and come to search for information in regards to it.

In this manner, I am holding 1 smerit to give back to newbie to boost the morale of the user. As we all know that the best thing that could happen here in the forum is to get the first merit and I want to be the first one to give the merit on that user. Just want to get remembered by that user to remember me that I am the first guy to give the merit if he will rank up to higher positions.

Wanna give a try? Post your thread and I'll check and give your first merit.

update: 0 merits to give.

Qualification - newbie without merit activity posts should be more than 20 with no bounty reports.

I will be locking this thread now because I had seen in other thread being made by a donator legendary in rank supporting newbie giving merits away of a simple task.

Of you can take a look @LoyceV thread here, The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days.

I'm sure you can find a lot of newbies deserving of your smerit.

[virasog]

OP, you are yourself a member, so you have very limited smerits with you. It is better  if you can distribute them to the newbies as you come across reading posts from them while surfing the forum.

Most of the new members here probably are confused and do not know what to do. Most need guidance and do not know on how and where to start learning with cryptocurrency.

In every section of most boards, there is a first three pinned post written for better understanding of that particular section,this is the fact that newbies failed to do meanwhile it is written as pinned in beginners and help board to read before posting. If every new users should equip with that as a major priority, understanding the forum wouldn't have been a hard task as it regards as self guidance as well as self revolution.

Yeah it looks like there are few newbie who earn their merits.

As we all know that the best thing that could happen here in the forum is to get the first merit and I want to be the first one to give the merit on that user (newbie with no merits).

This is what I have mention above I like to be the user to give that newbie his first merit. Of course newbie that will always be here in this section for this is the most appropriate section for newbie to learn about cryptocurrency. There are many questions to ask for a newbie and I know many user will going to help. Cryptocurrency is a little bit confusing at first and this is why we need to boost their morale. You can help as well for I had only 1 smerit to give.

[nakamura12]

It is a good thing to do by sending smerit to newbies who are deserving to earn a single merit. There are a lot of newbies who earn merits and still not rank to jr. member. I think there will be more newbies who post good quality post that haven't receive any merit yet so this will be their chance to earn. I myself did the same thing before when I have smerits stored for deserving participants.

[lovesmayfamilis]

This is actually a very good idea. Support for newbies and their motivation for further good publications has been announced here for a long time. Unfortunately, many merit holders are very biased towards newcomers. There is no need to demand more from them than what they are capable of at first.
Let this be a regular post, well-voiced about understanding cryptocurrencies. Yes, it may have been said millions of times, but the phrase said by a beginner indicates the correct direction of his thought.
Let's be a little simpler in relation to them.

[minairia3]

OP I think you can just visit here:

Of you can take a look @LoyceV thread here, The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 days.

Sometime newbies rarely hangout here(those bounty hunters) on BH or those true bitcoiner dont actually care on the merit system and just post ihing on some useful thread like development and technical discussion thread that actually discuss something knowledgeable about bitcoin.

I saw many newbies there when I reading they dont seem to post here and beg about merits or ask about how to get one.

[Daniel91]

Very good idea.
If I see good and quality applications I will get involved too and also reward some quality post.
I will follow this topic with interest  

[Peanutswar]

This is a good initiative by you OP because right here there are a lot of lower ranks today wand to earn merit but they are struggling to earn it. Just an addition it's better to make rules or quantification on giving smerits so you can push them to make a constructive post.

Also I want to share the thread created by LoyceV to help unmerited good post and I highly recommended to submit here if you see a good thread that deserves merit.

[self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source

The goal is to find good posts from users who don't deserve to be blocked from ranking up by Merit.

[AniviaBtc]

Just tell them to always be a responsible user here, tell them to follow the rules and regulations here, and most importantly, make quality posts.

Merits are there if you truly deserve it, you should not give them instantly because you told them.

Obviously this time they will make a good posts because there is a reward.

It is much better to save them to those who really worked hard for it.

[Latviand]

Bro @jademaxsuy, save your merit and don't give them that easily.

Don't distribute them with only a single posts from them because they can make one but that will not guaranteed them as an effective member here.

Everyone can make a single post that is informative but the question is, how long they will do that?
If there's no reward, will they continue to make posts like that?

It is true that just continue exploring this forum to find those users who truly deserve to earn a merit with their hardwork and effort.

[Bitum]

I think that's okay, but .. not every post should be rewarded. I admit that it is currently very difficult to get merit here, I have seen many posts where, in my opinion, merit could be given, but this post remains without a reward

The merit system is not moderated so that people can send it on to anyone and on post of any quality. However, give merit for low quality post in my opinion is not good idea as there are thousand of other quality posts that deserve merit.
The merit system has two function, first as a condition for rank-up and secondly as a reward for user who have good post quality. If you receive a merit for a quality post, you should also send it to other user quality post because thats how the merit system is supposed to work.

Do your best and never complain. Everyone has their own point of view about the quality of user post, if they feel that the post is worthy then I am sure the merit source will not miss it.

[alik111]

I don't think you have any need to give only 4 merits to Newbies.You can easily find 4 users from   Forum sections.

But one thing Your afford is obviously appreciated.

A post trying to motivate newbies to post on this section and to post on this thread but all the replies are from higher-ranked members so far.

[Smartvirus]

I've been keen and watching out for replies from newbies and the few have seen to reply haven't hit me up just yet. I wanted to drop a post link of my own but the part that talked about what it felt like to have your first merit got me paused. I'm looking to merit someone myself so, you guys just got to apply with the best post and let's know your content.

[$crypto$]

This is a thread that is quite interesting, maybe it can be said for newbies to do quality posts that they are good at anywhere, maybe there will be a lot of contributions for newbies who have done quality posts and I see here a lot of interactive ones where many newbies grow with merit in can for me that is very extraordinary.

But what I have noticed now is that many newbies join this forum just to work on the bounty and of course this will increase the cheating that occurs even the catch continues non-stop because they keep greedy it up.

I hope this thread will be of much benefit and motivation for the newbie.

Yeah the reason why this happen because newbies are confused and do not know where to start in learning cryptocurrency. They all end up searching for how to learn on bounty hunting and less likely to visit this very important section for them to learn. The purpose of the cryptocurrency was defeated because of this new users that are not been guided accordingly resorted to scamming and doing fraud or worst become a victim of scam and fraud. In my opinion it would be a good thing to let them lure them here by giving them their first merit so as they will keep coming back into this section to where they can rely on to ask whenever they are confused on certain topics especially in basic technical aspects in cryptocurrency.

Educating them here would less likely to get more victims on scamming and getting away from the fraud activities. Educating them here is they key that there will be less likely to get scam. We had a lots of users here extending there help through extensive sharing of information and ideas on scamming and fraud activities which newbie and all of the user can learn from.

Newbie most likely are not aware of this section and they do not tend like to visit because they could not getting anything here. But if we could give them the motivation to get their first merit here then higher chances they can keep on coming back into this section and could start a thread of their inquiries and confusions regarding cryptocurrency and not by those good for nothing scammers outside in this section.

[McniColl]

Thank you Newbie for increasing attention.  What I think is that if you don't know the rules in the forum first, you will never be able to do anything good.  We can increase the rank by helping people and giving them some good information.  Thank you so much for encouraging us to post something like this.  I wish you a long life.  And I expect you to have a much bigger rank in this forum.
