Meriting a user who just merited you

[slimzak]

I will try to be more involved in discussions. There definitely will be a learning curve before I can contribute something worthwhile in those discussions as most people here are very knowledgeable!

I guess you shouldn't worry too much about this if you are a collectible fan, as as far as I know the collectibles section is famous for its generosity of merit if you publish quality content. Personally, I would love to read a first-person guide to creating collectibles from A to Z, (so go for it).

Collectors are very generous individuals I totally agree; however,  getting merited is hard because most of the contribution of collectors to the community are not showcased in posts but are through PMs.

For example, when I first joined bitcointalk as a collector I was lucky to meet a very generous individual that goes by the name "Hookzup1". Not only did he sell me an amazing collection at cost to help me start a collection. He continuously supports me with ongoing advice and, as a result, I was able to avoid any pitfalls that one would suffer when entering a new space. While "Hookzup1" has been of great help to many newcomers behind the scenes, this was never showcased through his posts. This resulted in one of the best collectors to only have 56 merits which shocked me. I'm sure a part of it is that he didn't pay particular attention to merits but I still think we should say thank you to his contributions and show him some love (his birthday is coming up, can we get him to100 merits as a surprise).

I hope he doesn't see this post haha

Best,

I'm not looking for people who act like a real user, you have to be one.

You mean, a real user doesn't have to learn how to act, right? I'll try

Judging by your post history (and the fact that you're promoting bananas for some reason) puts you in this category:

a typical spammer's posts will often follow some sort of pattern which will be immediately obvious upon inspection and will usually consist of one or two sentences

If I look at your post history, I don't even want to read it.

Yes, I know, that's why I'm here and asking the question. Honestly, I have so many unknown things here, I think I need a lot of time to get used to. I participated in advertising bananas because I want to make money, it was understandable, right?

I remembered this thread, because lately fellow member @Cnut237 and I have been giving each other merits. At some point you doubt if that could be seen as a merit exchange but I think it is clear that we give them to each other for worked posts in which many times we start with separate points of view and at the end we come to close conclusions.

From what I can see, you've sent a grand total of eight merits and they have sent a total of ten merits.  (your eight were in one merit lots sent while you've receive ten in just four separate posts).

In small numbers it isn't as big an issue as when there are dozens of merits flying backwards and forth.
