Anyone else having trouble earning Merit?

[FatFork]

I've been a member since 2017 but somehow have not been able to earn a single merit. ...

Okay, I checked your posting history and, personally, I think you're just a spammer and don't deserve even a single merit. If you disagree with my opinion, show us at least one of your posts that you think is worthy.

Aside from multi posting (which is against the forum rules, btw), all these posts are just copy/paste from steemit articles that serve no purpose other than promoting your referral links.
Plus, given the posting gap of almost two years, this is probably just one of your alt accounts.

I feel you mate even  i didnt recieve any merit coming from someone else, in my third year in these forum i havent recieve merit maybe its due to my low quality posting but i admit it. Im still happy reaching the full member rank.

You need to post something informative, new or funny in order to get a merit. Your post should be something which other person enjoys reading and give you merit for it. Repeating the same information again and again in spam mega threads wont help you gain any merits even if you keep posting for 10 years.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Oh, complaints about merit have become constant from newbies. Despite that you have been on the forum for a long time, this remains a problem for you.
Perhaps this is simply not your forum. Maybe it's time for you to change your mind and go to cooking or home economics forum. I didn't even bother to read your posts. It can be seen from the reviews that you are an ordinary spammer who hoped to monetize your account. But due to a lack of want and blaming everyone for your failures, you stayed where you started.

Not always true because there are merit sources in altcoin sections, from tk08 to Cryptopreneurbainboss. I also received some of my merits in altcoins boards. So at the end, boards don't play as barriers to earn merit,. The barriers are quality of posts and contributions posters out in their posts.

I earned my merits from Altcoin discussion and Service discussion not bounties.

I'd say it's a good 5-10x harder to earn merit from the altcoin sections than anywhere else. It's so hard to be noticed and so few have merit to hand out. That's a fine effort on your part.

[NavI_027]

I feel sorry if you are struggling but, whether we admit it or not, the blame is on you. Anyway, forget about the past and try to move on. Better for you to explore the other boards. There's nothing wrong of becoming an alt fanatic but do not isolate yourself inside of it. Find where your other interest and excel on that. And if you really want to have a greater chance of getting merit then be more active from now on (the more entries, the more chances of winning ). You supposed to be a FM having 100 pages of in your history but you only have 16. So keep grinding and good luck.

Ps: I actually want to give you one merit to get motivated but unfortunately I don't have smerit right now, sorry.

I checked first two pages of your post history and it's clear that you mainly posts on altcoin related boards.

Do you think your posts deserve merit/s? Then submit it at @CryptopreneurBrainboss merit giveaway thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5210222.0) He's one of the few high rank members who merit altcoin related topics. Don't forget to read the rules he set though.


My personal suggestion for you is to explore/read other parts of the forum. It's not that altcoin boards are bad, it's just that most merit sources rarely visits them because it's a spamfest.

Do you have any other interest? Your twitter profile says you're a poker guy. There's the gambling board in case you want to discuss with other poker players.

By the way, this topic doesn't belong to altcoin board. Perhaps it's better suited for Off-Topic.

Hey this was really helpful. Thanks a ton! I am a semi-pro poker player but didn't even know there was a poker section on bitcointalk. LOL!
This feedback was very constructive and if I had any merit then I'd give you some! hahahaha. Cheers!

Could you share some details on what helped you earn more merit over time. The kind of posts you posted, etc?

Ah thanks! what's a good place to post funny content, in your opinion?

I checked your posts and I did not found any of them that deserve one single merit. Posts in bounty thread reporting link, are in the rank of spam. it is not read by managers either and especially not old high ranked members or merit sources. When you post in other section than bounty, it's mostly part of some pointless discussion on useless mega threads, which also no one reads or is interested in. These threads serve to fulfil post quota for signature campaigns.
You need to stop with posting just to write something here, try to be active in discussion and talk with other members here. As @Bttzed03 says, find something that is close to your personal interests and find topics about it, then discuss there, be constructive. It can be gambling, poker or whatever.

You are registered here Feb. 2018 not "since 2017", and you are offline from 27.November 2018 until 20. August 2020, then when you come again, just reposted one of your post two years old. Which is, by the way, the only article from Steemit.

you seem to consider us idiots so you're copy/paste some old news for us, you still expect someone to praise you for it. this is the digital age and Bitcointalk with people here is one of the most advanced. You can't sell us garbage here.


edit: This topic probably belongs to the Meta section

haha yeah that was my bad actually. I remember being a Jr. Member when i was last year and thought it went back to newbie because my activity was low, so i reposted a couple of articles I'd written earlier when I was a writer for Huobi Global.

I was actually content being a jr member but when i saw i was relegated back to newbie i felt a bit jibbed. It's true that my account does seem a bit spammy but I feel it's because i used to take part mostly in bounty campaigns and I was also a writer for Huobi Global and this was a good place for me to showcase the articles I'd written. However, besides that, I have also offered quite a bit of advice to people on bunch of threads. Maybe I'm not posting in the right threads. What suggestions or constructive feedback would you give?

Maybe start by rereading the forum rules? You're posting more then 3 times in a row.

There is no shortcut to get merit. There's no special place to post funny content either. Post something useful and unique,it will eventually comes to you. I'm not sure why you need to gain merits tho unless you want to take part in some sig campaign. With your experience as a (ex)writer for Huobi Global, wouldn't focusing on copywriting services a better choice for you?

Hey thanks for the encouraging words. However, i didn't understand this bit - "You supposed to be a FM having 100 pages of in your history but you only have 16." Could you elaborate?
Also, i think someone gave me a merit so it's cool! Maybe i don't think I've been approaching this correctly or been posting in the wrong forums or doing too many bounties. I like giving advice, or posting funny stuff, what's a good section to do that in?

oh dang! replies to peoples comments count as posts?? never knew that.
I remember being a Jr Member earlier and now i'm back to newbie that's why i want to get some merit.
And yes, copywriting is actually my niche, but again i don't think that would apply to any of the sections on here... may Off Topic, I guess?

Most of your posts are in altcoin sections where the chances of getting merits is quite less. If you still think your post is worth merit you can participate in different merit giveaway threads. Also you can check this [OPEN]| Smerit monthly giveaway | Concentrating on Alternative Main & subboard. which focus on altcoin boards.

While everyone is advising to post some actual useful stuffs that's cool but actually if you don't tune your mind toward been useful on the forum you won't achieve that you seek. I would say first you do some cleaning up on your account, you'll be doing yourself and both the forum (moderators to be specific) a huge favour as it'll reduced their workload.

Start by forgetting the altcoin section if merit is your desire.

I oppose. OP, all section of the forum can used to recieve the merits. Don't go posting on board you aren't familiar with just to go merit hunting. It'll end badly instead try to make an impact on any board you find yourself. Sure it'll be difficult for some board but no harm trying. I merit post on altcoins board so obviously if yours is above average and I come across them, the possibility of them getting merited is there provided I have smerits.

[friends1980]

If you'd indeed been here since 2017, you would have had some Merit by default, quod non. You've been here for hardly three days in two years of time and now you're wondering why you're having trouble earning Merit?

If I were you, I'd not try too hard to get some, because you won't get very far, looking at the quality of what you posted the last days. I'll report some and see what the mods think of it.

[Cryptoababe]

At times, you earn merit unexpectedly like it just happened to you on this post. Most people who earn merit have more knowledge on some things and they tried to help others with that knowledge on others post.
Or people who ask important question by creating a thread.
So, going around the platform and trying to learn by asking questions might end up getting u a lot of merits.

[CryptocurencyKing]

I see you've got merited right there. But that's surely a compensation from a concerned forum user. We are all concerned though but then, it's always simple. The trick is always in your post. You've got a whole lot of activity right there that can boost you straight to Sr. member with the required number of merit but your not getting it because, your post isn't quite informative yet.

Upon viewing your post, I was dragged down to skimming through your profile and for a fact, you do a lot of quoting and bounty hunting! That's not the way to get merited here. Take your mind off those two (bounties and merits) and learn from what every progressive forum user has got to offer then, your sure to do great.
Out here, post quality is everything.

[jademaxsuy]

Well, I do not mind earning merits? Why? What is the relevance of earning merits when you do is just shitposting and messing the forum? Id rather not get any merits than getting but doing shitposts because of bounty hunting from submitting social media reports.

I know that merit is needed to rank up but then what is the essence of ranking up when you can't do the right thing in the forum?

See legend user on how they achieve their ranks? You can see the difference between shitposting style and a quality poster. You can also check their most merited posts. If you can follow them then there is no reason for you to have trouble in earning merit. Besides, the one managing the forum theymos do not like to add more high rank users that are actually rank up because of shitposting. See other legend user that rank up before the rank and merit introduces to which some of them are shitposters. They became liability in this forum and that is why the management decided to give merits to a certain user that could be an asset in this forum.

So now, it should clearly sink to your mind if you can read this posts and start doing great things if you wanted to rank up. In my case, I am happy just to be here on the forum because this is the only forum created by satoshi and manage by theymos. There are other forums created too but bitcointalk forum is best compared to other forum. It may not be perfect but at least it is function as what satoshi wanted to and the forum still in developing stage.

Bro it's very important to earn merit and the possibility of every member of the forum to be merited lies on the persons post that is the reason people find it difficult to step in to next level,While people find it difficult to earn merit is because of post, creation of topic and the board they specialized, posting or writing in a board that your contribution is irrelevant is one of the reason's people can't be earn merits, secondly, create a topic and research very well on such topic before postings, note: newbies are advice to post in beginners and help board in order to earn merit and also known.
Lastly quality post is the major priority for every members if you want to earn a merit, you most learn how to construct a quality post because merit are given base on positive contribution to the forum.

You are not earning any merits because your post aren't that meritable. Plus you have been inactive for about one and a half year.
Your past posts aren't helpful to the forum. Usually, other members here merits a post if it is constructive and is quality. Meaning it contributes to the forum and helpful to other members. And usually you are doing bounties which increased the amount of your posts without receiving any merit.

[Daniel91]

It seems that you have already received very detailed answers to your question many times.
I think now is the time to lock down this topic and start practicing the tips you got here.
Reading is one thing but it should be followed by practicing what is learned 
If you really start practicing the advice you got here you will soon start getting many merits, I’m sure of it 

[Peanutswar]

It's not hard to earn single merit if you share or give an informative thread because there are a lot of members right here appreciate all the things even a little one line if you answered or share a good information.

Hold up. I think this is not a good idea settled into a full member and does not become a quality post user I think this is too bad don't settle your thing if you can achieve more always make another path or journey and try to increase the quality of your post to gain merit it's not hard if you deserve it.

I hope OP does not become this kind of user too also I encourage other members to make a constructive post to increase the quality of our forum too.

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

I am surprised to see how you productively spam after you get your first merit. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1567923;sa=showPosts
