Yeah I know that but actually I thought I can apply. Cause in the topic there is no mention about what you wrote. But I would like to thank you for what you mentioned. I think it's more clear for me.

Maybe you should update op that newly created accounts are not eligible to participate or to join and also accounts that are 2 weeks old or something that depends on your decision. I would have added it anyway if this was my thread but it's not. I am wondering what will happen if you change some of the requirements before a forum user will receive merit after passing. Is it a good choice or not?.

Yeah I know that but actually I thought I can apply. Cause in the topic there is no mention about what you wrote. But I would like to thank you for what you mentioned. I think it's more clear for me.

Don't focus on merits rather than learning first. You won't get merits that way if you always think about earning merit. Try coming back later on once you learn more and maybe Ratimov will send you merit. Also, learn how to quote properly.

Yeah I'm focusing on learning, also focusing on how to Quote like others ! I think I got it.

To be fair, Ratimov does allow newbies with 0 merits to apply, but some quality posts are still required. He needs to be able to find something merit-worthy.

When we are talking about quoting, just make sure that your new post starts after the quote tag is closed. You are supposed to write a reply after the [/quote] and not inside of it. Looks you edited your post and you understood it now. Writing something inside the quote tag, make it part of the same quote.

I think Ratimov is intentionally ignoring your application because it looks like you forgot to read the rules before submitting the application. I see your application was ineligible earlier because you only had 457 merit then. But now it seems that you are qualified to expect Ratimov's help as it already has 478 merit.

Thanks for letting me know about it, and it's true that I submitted the application too soon and perhaps slightly disregarded the rules to be considered a qualifying application ^{[475 merit].} So I won't blame anyone including Ratimov for ignoring my application even though I qualified ^{[478 merit]} a few days later because LoyceV sent me some merit.

I honestly thought Ratimov would help me to reach the required amount but in the end it was klarki who did it for me with 23 merit. Thank you Klarki, now my merit count has reached 501 and only requires me to wait for sufficient activity to rank up to Hero Member.

7 months doesn't seem like a short time because waiting is something very boring. 

Damn, that's true. But that is good news on a different side.

Still a newbie, but here to help out. We provide introductory guides for various cryptocurrencies and concepts relating to crypto/web3.
Would love our first merit point to be able to do so more effectively. Been around for a while without ever actually creating an account, figured it was time to properly partake.

I just took a look at your profile. None of those guides are posted on Bitcointalk. All you do is post links yo your own site and include a few sentences to get people to click on those links. No content that improves Bitcointalk whatsoever. Not only that, but many posts are the same and you just change the coin/token name. They could even be considered low-effort posts and be deleted if they were posted somewhere in the normal parts of the forum. Let me show you a few examples of what I mean:

1.

We've created an introductory guide to Cardano (ADA)
The guide will take you through the process of buying, selling, moving, and storing your crypto. In addition to providing a brief overview of the project itself.

xxx aims to provide an objective introductory guide for people who are new to the cryptocurrency space, providing a step-by step introduction through the basics.

2.

We've created an introductory guide to Decentraland (MANA)
The guide will take you through the process of buying, selling, moving, and storing your crypto. In addition to providing a brief overview of the project itself.


xxx aims to provide an objective introductory guide for people who are new to the cryptocurrency space, providing a step-by step introduction through the basics.

3.

We've created an introductory guide to Dogecoin (DOGE)
The guide will take you through the process of buying, selling, moving, and storing your crypto. In addition to providing a brief overview of the project itself. 


xxx aims to provide an objective introductory guide for people who are new to the cryptocurrency space, providing a step-by step introduction through the basics.

4.

We've created an introductory guide to Catecoin (CATE)
The guide will take you through the process of buying, selling, moving, and storing your crypto. In addition to providing a brief overview of the project itself. 


xxx aims to provide an objective introductory guide for people who are new to the cryptocurrency space, providing a step-by step introduction through the basics.

There are many more examples same as the ones above.
Those kinds of posts don't improve the qualify of Bitcointalk one bit. You just use the forum to advertise your own website. I doubt you will get merited for that.

So I won't blame anyone including Ratimov for ignoring my application even though I qualified ^{[478 merit]} a few days later because LoyceV sent me some merit.

I'm not ignoring anyone's apply here. In the last few days I've been running out of merits and I've been waiting for a new cycle of generating merits from the forum. Today this cycle has come and the forum sent me about 80 merits for distribution. But your application has already been approved by another merit source. I often warn users about this at the end of the month:

All applications will be considered next week. Reason: finished merit. The forum will begin to accrue new merits from February 2-3. Thank you. Be patient.  

Ratimov thanks for the good job you and other merit sources are doing in helping beginners and those with little to reach their merit requirement to rank up, I will like to make a friendly suggestion.
 those that have low activities should not be considered and have to wait till there activities meet the rank requirement, this will minimize the level of merit demands as the available merit will go to the users that meet both the merit and activities required to get to the next rank). Please ignore If this have been discussed on the thread before

Thank you Mr. Ratimov and Mr. Vispilio for your support on merit.

Even though you didn't apply, I noticed that you are missing some merit for the new rank. So congratulations on your new rank. 

Thanks and I appreciate I will always be a part of this threads, thank you once again for the good you and other merit sources are doing in helping qualify next rank members move to the next rank.
