Don't buy merits

[kawetsriyanto]

As a newcomer, I don’t know that I can buy and sell merits. I just want to slowly gain merits through my own replies, comments or posts.

It is good, just get merits with your own efforts. You don't need to know about buying merits, it will be risky for your account then. If you plan to have a long journey in this forum, just follow the rules and don't do something to risk your account. Buying merits will be easily detected, especially for newbies who have few posts only. Your posts and merits must be in tune, which means the merits on your posts show the quality of that posts. Once you can improve your post quality, then you don't worry that merits will come to your posts easily.

Even as a Newbie, I can tell that an underground market for merits will only worsen the quality of this community, slowly but steady.
Giving "visibility" to users that might have not earned it and tempting merit-givers with this new kind of "corruption".

I hope this community continues with mostly honest and helping people, right at the moment crypto currency is as relevant as never was before.

Actually it shouldn't but there are people who are dumb to do business on buying and selling merits. For them they thought they can easily rank up with just buying all the necessary merits needed for their level. It just shows that their priority is to rank up and join money making campaigns and bounty but not to gain privilege by learning something worthwhile. Anyway you are in the right track.

Buying merit to move up the ranking is the fastest way to deceive yourself and can negatively impact both buyer and seller as the account's reputation is at stake right after the deal is made. All merit trading will end badly for both actors if proven, they just don't realize that merit trading is a trap that can damage the account's reputation sooner or later. They do not appreciate the potential knowledge and abilities that are in them and they are eager to activate the time bomb called merit trading.

That's to be expected. Naturally you will also get the opportunity to move up the rank and gain enough merit. We all need a process to develop, it take time and effort as well as patience.

To be honest, buying merits is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in forum. It's showed they're lack of confidence to write something useful. It's just prove them, they don't even try to learn something on the forum.
If they try to write something helpful for forum users, I believe they can earn some merits. There's also bunch of old members here support the newbies with merits for doing some useful tasks.
Believe me, buying merits to rank up is not worth for your knowledge and confidence.

[iamsheikhadil]

Lol, I have been observing such related topics here and there about such services, and it's not worth it at all, statistically speaking, if you post goodly, within few months you will get so much merits that you can't apprehend while buying merit is a loss-loss case, it demotivates you from "earning" merits, and the money you pay could have been used in a better way had you just waited patiently by making some good posts and see the merits coming in

Lol, i almost felt the same way you did while typing this post. Funny but not less annoying. Seriously, its really bad and not just demonstrates in competence in a forum user's inability to compit squarely amongst other users but, also go goes another length to display stupidity. That, that which is offered freely and you can get freely, you tend to be apply so much worth to it as you do bitcoin. It makes me wonder how valuable it could have been should merits have come with a currency value. Perhaps we might have seen it creating ATH time after time (I'm not suggesting a currency value though, no). It would go far in destroying the merit idea. Merit selling isn't good for the forum m, if your really about the forum.

[Trinx01]

I don't even think that there is someone who is doing that thing for just merit, yes merit is really important in Bitcointalk but you don't need to buy it, you may earn merit from the good posts that you may create and remember that earnings o knowledge is much important that gaining merit.

[akirasendo17]

I heard you can buy merits through telegram links for your bitcointalk account, Brothers and sisters you aren't helping yourself if you buying those merits because you won't even know how better you are getting on the forum with your posts and contributions, and again if you are a bad poster you will always remain the same, abstains from such act

if you buy merits just to rank up, it's like telling yourself that you are weak and don't have the guts to learn and reach a goal with your own capability, yes you have money but, a person who will do that should be ashamed of his self, at the same time, you have learned nothing and I'm very sure that account will be worthless, why? he/she doesn't know anything, I'm sure that person will have poor posting skills and topic since he never started from scratch.

[Johnyz]

Why do you need to spend money where you can easily earn merit by just sharing quality post?

Don't fool yourself by doing this one, it might be so hard for you to earn Merit but the moment you get it on a legal way, you'll feel the great achievement especially if you do your best just to get that Merit.

There's should be no rush to rank-up here in the forum, just enjoy the process while learning and don't focus too much on your Merit, it will come in time.

[qwertyup23]

I always find it amusing that people who beg for merit are also the ones who have a post history full of bounty campaigns or spams in the forum.

The reason on why people beg/ask for merits is because this would enable them to participate in campaign signatures if they happen to rank up. However, they are forgetting one crucial factor- their post history. Even if they indeed rank up, they still cannot escape the discretion of campaign managers in choosing the participants. Merits only enable you to participate but it is NOT an absolute guarantee that you would be chosen to participate in campaigns.

Even if they successfully purchase merits, they still won't make it far as quality post contribution cannot be bought.

[macson]

those who buy "merit" are of course just a lazy person who wants to instantly rank up and will not improve the shit-posts he keeps making.

I agree. Those who get the fast lane and try to cheat the system will probably end up like the guy I discovered in the following thread:

Can someone check if there is something wrong with this?

He ended up opening this thread:

I apologise from you alll

But it was useless.

i went to the topic that you have locked down and saw how pathetic his behavior was "lol".

I don't understand why those members need to buy merits, if they find it difficult to earn merit then they should motivate themselves to be better, we are all the same here but different with the knowledge we have right now, just imagine that pro or those people who already have good enough knowledge about cryptocurrency also became noob as well as we are, we can make it as motivation in a way that we should think that if they can be better then we can do it as well. Merit is important but knowledge is much worthy.

Because they only want to get instant merits without motivating themselves or it can be said with not quality posts.
Usually those who buy merits are to move up the ranks from newbie to jr.member and usually it is used in bounty campaigns that they want to use as making money so basically it's useless if we don't see how from ourselves even opportunities it would be very far away if caught in the abuse of merits.
The members who buy the merits are not having worked hard in improving the quality of their posts.

To be honest, if one resorts to this type of practice, it’s not as if they’re going to get very far up the ranking ladder anyway, and since the objective behind is nearly always to participate in a campaign, it’s barely going to push far in that direction (plus you miss out on all the necessary training ground to really get very far).

Everything looks right and that's what usually happen to them, but they never seemed to care about that because their main purpose was to join the campaign.

Buying merit for rankup is not ethically.
I'm sure all forum users have the ability to do something useful for themselve, but they do take effort and process. Nothing will prevent a single user from rankup after this merit system exists unless they never know how this system works. Merit are synonymous with reward for useful and quality post, one must reach this standard if one is to be rewarded. Even though in practice a person can still have difficulty getting merit even though the delivery looks quality, this is because the merit system is not moderated and as a result the post can still be overlooked. Reporting an unmerited post on the provided thread is fair way from merit source.

[AakZaki]

Enjoy the process and it will be the best way. But don't enjoy it too much, you need to do some effort, of course. make good posts, interact on forums and give your own opinion on some of the read threads.

Doing things instantly is not good.

I started as a newbie and didn't know anything. it took about 4 years to reach its current rank. Not only a ranking, but the journey and experience gained as well as knowledge of bitcoin, cryptocurrency and various other kinds of knowledge.

This reminds me of some of my friends back then. The day this forum had implemented merit system, they were disgusted about not ranking up anymore (like they’re just few activities short in gaining the next rank). As a result, they have exchanged merits with one another in some consecutive posts and ended up getting permabanned.

Merits are just a bonus from me. I know that I wanna rank up, but I would rather choose to stop thinking in getting after that rank and instead keep contributing that would help the community, fighting against scammers, etc., as I am already blessed in other ways.

[libert19]

Telegram is filled with scammers, there is high chance even the 'merit sellers' would be scammers.

[yazher]

Don't you dare to try it guys because earning merits in such a way will make your heart unsatisfied and you will just feel bored when you engage in a conversation here in this community. because you don't feel like doing things in your own way you will just post for bounties or alike of it. earning merit is a long process you need to be aware of it. until you get one, you really need to learn a lot and spend your time reading and exploring. After that, merits will come to you even though you are not asking for it. Just be natural and be creative, everyone has their own unique talent and can use it well here. we have lots of different board you can explore to choose anyway.

[Ebede]

If people buy merit with money, I don't think is best option to beginners like me and new user, I think as a new user we have to start somewhere by creating our own device to get our own merit, if not that to get merit is very difficult to am extent, buying merit is like buying account and when will the person stop buying merit from member merit rank to legendary merit rank, because any rank we want  to reach we can reach it with money, which is bad, the best way is to work for our own personal growth because one day somebody will appreciate your work than buying merit else were.
