Highly appreciate your replies here.

I see threads like this, my eyes stay pinned on your merit, post and activity series with an expectation that, at least your activity and post count must have been way up to constitute a issue for the author but, have been disappointed a few times like in your case. They are low, your account @Op was created an hour before you made this post, no doubt ther is a possibility of an introduction and telling what is what but, coming the next minute to create a thread talking about earning merits makes it look like your just trolling and that doesn't help so much.

Abolish that idea and stick to learning, contribute positive ideas, bring new information to the forum and be you! Then the merits would come!

I recall when merit was just like "freshly" implemented back in 2018, and Meta was like under attack with those "merit fishing" thread like just generic thoughts of newbies to merit. From the past months, from what I observed, merit fishers are now attacking this board with "yet another plagiarism" or "yet another merit" thread.

probably they just target the boards where most merits are shared but they never realize that only the real discussion will attract people to make some discussion and thought sharing situations.

Irrespective a quality post, its the reader who reads and accepts that that is a worth post giving information and being a quality post, give a merit to it. At times a quality post is not read by many and that goes off unmerited. But yes as like, every other platform, consistency will pay off. Yes, a quality post will one day be acknowledged irrespective of where and on what board its posted.

Sir/ma i will like you to be calm and study, understand the forum very well and at least know what this forum is made of follow the rules and regulations after that you will understand what is it to get merit.

The way merit is given here,I don't really think it's base on how quality your post is anymore,it's seems it base on   how people know you in the forum,I said that because,one can post something that is of good quality,a post that deserves merits,but because he is not known by people in the group or forum,he will not be given any merit.
Where as it wasn't like that,it was how good your posts is,that can make can guaranteed of your merits.

It is partially true. There is no perfection on Earth and there are loopholes with which people use their sMerit inappropriately just as likes, supports or lazily dump their sourced sMerit to complete their sMerit distribution.

I said that because,one can post something that is of good quality,a post that deserves merits,but because he is not known by people in the group or forum,he will not be given any merit.

Again, it is partially true but if you make quality posts consistently, you will do receive merit. Additionally, there is multibilateral compensational effects.

• Some of your quality posts might not receive merit, like you said
• Some of your quality posts will receive merit, and receive a lot, more than it deserves.
• Net-effect: if you make quality posts consistently, you will still receive good amount of merit

Welcome to bitcointalk. As a newbie i advise you get yourself familiar with the forum rules and understanding the things to be done and things not to be done in the forum before you think of ranking up. To get promoted to higher ranks you need to create a quality posts and contribute to the forum while avoiding plagiarism and along the line you may earn merits but its not guaranteed though.

Welcome to the forum mate. To earn merits, you need to contribute to the forum, good posts will normally earn merits because merit sources will likely give merits to post which are deserving to earn. As a newbie, you need to learn more, so start with reading, read, read, then you can do post, post, post after. Good luck, don't hunt for merits hard enough because they will just come as long as you follow my suggestion highlighted above.

Just have five basic review which newbies have to consider first to do for earning a Merit.
• Observation
• Read before posting
• Carry on a research for innovation of the forum
• Post to the area ( board) you understand
• Don't post in a hurry (relax and found cogent points) before dropping.

Scope of merit is not restricted to only newbies and we all need to keep some rules in mind before making any posts.The good post will always be appreciated like sometimes i don't agree with the post but the quality of post is good and it has initiated good and healthy conversations on forum it deserves merit then.

You have pointed out some good points but you also need to exchange knowledge which is the most powerful tool to rank up for all of us and gain merit.The focus should be quality posting only and merits are secondary or say complementary with the good posts.So work in that areas and you all will see ranking up on forum.

Actually you are right because a good quality post is what fetch merit,  in the aspect of exchanges of knowledge, no objections, because anyone who found he or her ways in bitcointalk community and also engages in the interactions of bitcoin conversation or communication is obviously exchanging knowledge, because their is no way you can respond to chat without understanding the point of a writer the process reading it and in same vein understand it you are exchanging knowledge and obtaining wisdom, the only thing that backslide many newbies not to continue is by not earning merit like others, so the strategies to earn merit is all this things we point out.

Maybe it is so in the local sections of the forum if there are not enough members who can give merits but I think it is not so in the English part of the forum.
Personally, whenever I see a quality and constructive post, I will give merit and I will not even look at who the author of the post is, because it is completely irrelevant.
I'm sure that most other members of this forum also reward with merit every quality post regardless of who the author is.
Perhaps the problem is that your definition of quality post does not match the definition of quality post by most members of this forum.

Dear All,

Highly appreciate your replies here.

Merits are basically rewarded numbers offer to independent forum users for their contribution towards the forum to enhance the value, information, and knowledge of other users.

Merits can be received by contributing to the forum by own experience and knowledge. It completely depends on the community, how they take it for granted and offers Merit for information published on the forum.

Knowledge of any specific stream, including years of experience, can be easily identified by content published on the forum.

Great understanding and great explanatory content are always great. It gives higher values to other users of the forum.

Collected merits always show the user's credibility towards forum contribution.

[Cryptions]

Should it be required to give credit to the OP or any of replies if you have let's say at least ten... when replying, that way Merits would circulate more!

Sharing knowledge and if that's is found informative and useful,a merit is given. Not all would give merits and not each informative, useful and quality posts would get a merit. It depends in who reads and how attractive it is to the reader. Many good posts are either skipped or not watched. But yes keep up posts informative and to the point.

It would be counterproductive, and actually disincentive people (with a certain amount of available sMerits) from posting, were they required to Merit when replying. Merits would actually circulate less as a result.

It’s quite usual for accounts to rack their brains early in the game, on how to get more merits flowing in the system (I did after a month and a half or so), or devising ways to set a higher focus on lower ranks. After some time, one will likely see things in a somewhat different way, and whilst the more the merrier could be a thing, there is that factor related to the content that people post that should carry the weight, and to a highish degree it does. That is where the focus should be on, and if it becomes evident that tons of good posts go unmerited, then there would be a clear call for racketing the brains on how to move things along.

As things stand, there are many chances to earn some Merits here (post revision threads, signing messages and guessing games for example) that give an exceedingly easy entry point to earning Merits. But that should not blind people from the fact that the focus of Merits is on content, and that takes some effort to align with Merits.

Having said that, I’m all in for "the more eyes on the table the better" thing, but not forcibly imposed, and change driven by evidence rather than perception, in general terms.

To earn merits you need to be a quality member it's not all about how long you will reply to a thread it's all about the content as long as this content might help other people and the whole community for sure there's merit will come. People always come here on the forum and ask frequently how to earn merit because they know there's a chance to earn but after they know the merit requirement for now they already abandoned their account. I guess this can be locked.
