Why it's so hard to rank-up?

[Marvelman]

Every member on this forum will rank up at his own pace. Some will rank up quickly while others will rank up slowly. It all depends on how hard you work at it, how much time you spend on the forum and how active you are. The important thing is to keep going and not get discouraged by the slow progress. Each of us can select his or her favorite subject, and then post in that subject by using our well-known information in this selected field. Through this whole idea, I think it's comforting to know that merit is still a fair system and that anyone can become a Sr. or Hero Member with good quality posts. There's no real secret to getting promoted on this forum, just keep posting high-quality content and you'll get there. It won't happen overnight, but with time, effort, and dedication anyone can reach the top.

I mean if user is here just to join discussion, ranking up shouldn't be like something to be worried of.
If you mean "good opportunities" as "earning" here in the forum, then there's absolutely plenty of better opportunities outside the forum and that would be better than just pursuing those shit bounties.

I know ranking up won’t be that difficult, but some people are just starting to learn about bitcoin which it will be very difficult to make contribution to the forum, most of us are participating in bounty campaigns just to earn extral money, we all know that economy is down we just have to look for a way to earn a living. But I know if anybody is dedicated they will rank it might just take time.

As much as I know at this young age. Actually ranking up is not a difficult matter. To rank up, you have to have a lot of knowledge in all subjects. I see bitcointalk forum, except for altcoin board, you get a lot of merit if you post or reply with good quality. We who are juniors always wait for good quality posts from senior members.

Having a lot of knowledge in all subjects is not what's needed to up in this forum besides, it not possible to have knowledge in all subjects and most high-ranked members are also learning more at this moment because the crypto ecosystem is changing every day.

What every newbie actually needs to rank up is to understand the forum, know the section merit source focus, and have basic knowledge about BTC, wallet, and transaction.

I've also discovered that if you don't contribute to the forum, you wouldn't receive any merit. You have to serve the forum in many ways to be ranked higher since merit is always for posts that are good and deserving, and when you help the forum, you will be noticed, and people who have Smerit will give you without hesitation, and ranking will be easier as time goes on.
Secondly, try not to shit post on any boards in the forum.

Quality posters will be rewarded, they won't have much trouble getting merit and rankings.

Theymos said:

I'm hoping that this system will increase post quality by:
 - Forcing people to post high-quality stuff in order to rank up. If you just post garbage, you will never get even 1 merit point, and you will therefore never be able to put links in your signature, etc.

But I can say that every user should try to do the best they can and let other users judge the quality of their posts. I also agree that engaging in good discussion increases the chances of gaining knowledge and merit, and that is something that is often the habit of quality posters as far as I know.

So I'd say that's how it works. I won't talk about it too much considering you seem to know how the merit system works even though today you got your first one apart from the airdrop.

Theymos encourages more low-ranking users to post something quality, which is how all users managed to raise the rank even after the merit system was introduced. I found some users can even have higher merit than activity, they are contributors and high quality posters. While me and you and many other users run slower, but that's okay as long as we're willing to try.

3. Limited Knowledge - You can't share what you don't have, and making good topics here requires a good knowledge especially topics about helping people or a guidelines.

Yes, I'm just learning and the lack of knowledge is palpable. Sometimes I literally don't understand what they write about in the topics. It's a bit embarrassing, but we've all been through this, haven't we? Such an answer from a newbie probably sounds funny in this topic

There are way better opportunities out there other than just focusing on bounties. I live in a third world country and the first time I looked for a job back then as a fresh graduate sucked a lot and I tell ya that it takes plenty of luck and not just how you get those resume fired up for employers. Not to mention, I also did freelancing and it sucked the first time but I finally got the hang of it and it went better than expected overtime and finally earned my reputation as Top Rated in Upwork.

Going back to what you're talking about, ranking up would either suck or be "easy peasy lemon squeezy" for some people and it is fine either way since this is just a forum anyway and not an earning platform where every single user should pursue ranking up.

If you're telling the truth, what's the reason you're embarrassed? Do you think all the Legendary here are born experts? I think you will understand that all of them are not experts from the start because everything takes a process and a journey. I can tell you that not everything about bitcoin has been well-understood for me. I'm never shy, but I'm embarrassed when I don't want to learn to increase my knowledge.

If you want to learn, then you are one step ahead of the bounty hunters whose only job is to make reports and occasional reports. They have high activity, but you can see that they are focused on bounty regardless of any discussion in the forum. You know what I want to say? Make quality posts and get your first merit and you will get ranked.

But now I have to hit you 1.

To cut this story short, if you really want to rank up and have a good reputation just do the opposite, stay active, learn more and expect nothing.
These are my mistakes, and I hope you won't do the same so you can be more successful here. Right now, I'm only learning with my experience and hopefully I can give something more helpful in the future.

Being active is one of the most important aspects of growing or ranking up in this wonderful forum; you can't expect someone who has no experience with the forum to get merits; you must be very active, make your own personal contributions to the forum, and help others, and you will see your rank rise.
Some of us approach the forum with different perspectives, which is why, once you start with bounty, it always appears very difficult to rank up because your threads are full of bounties; the best thing to do is to be very active and contribute to the forum.

Not just active,  you know why? Because many users here in the forum who is active many years ago but still did not rank up. The main reason why other forum members experience an easy way of ranking it because of their contribution here in our community and this is the main thing we should have to rank up higher. Gaining more achievement is based on our hard work so if we want to rank up we need to make a quality and helpful post.

Indeed this particular topic has been a lot of concerns for many members on this forum, although it can be so tiring for someone to keep posting on a daily basis without receiving the kind of merit he or she is aiming for. The question is ARE YOU DOING THE RIGHT THING? …. I always ask myself this kind of question whenever I am on this forum, this has always been helpful to me so far so good because I always ensure that I use my mistakes to build and develop myself the more. It’s not about the merit but standing out among others with reasonable posts. So many new members like myself are not looking out for being a brilliant member like the other senior members, heroes and full members here, rather, they are looking for a quick merits within one month so that they can start getting paid by joining a campaign. I took several months  in studying and educating myself with other senior members posts on this forum in order to become a better person on this forum. It’s not about the money Bet being a quality poster.

I laughed reading your post man. This is very positive.
Many are like you saying here including me. Your age is younger than me including those who are still very active, but until now we still haven't reached the rankings like you.

Regarding quality posts, I would like to convey a little based on what I understand. I'm sure you're willing to set the record straight if I'm wrong because I've been very blunt and need to read a lot.
1. Every quality post, worthy of merit.
2. Quality posts that I understand are posts that can benefit others.

Of these two things, what else is the standard of quality post quality so that someone can receive and give merit in your opinion if the two things I mentioned are contained in a post?

It actually hard to rank up especially when you are a new member on this forum and again when you don’t know much about bitcoin or crypto as a whole, this is because you don’t get involved much in a thread and also another reason is that about being active 24/7 on the forum, when you not active you don’t get to reply threads early and a member or more will have say what you intended saying and you won’t get merited.

Actually increasing the rank is not very difficult. Because basically you need to acquire a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin here and let everyone know what you are good at. But some people come here just to rank up i.e. to get merit only in a hurry. Actually chasing merit here will not help you first you have to make yourself merit worthy.And for that, give people knowledge about what you are good at, then you will get merit and your rank will go up. Don't run after merit like a fool, Pursue good quality posts and try to help others with your knowledge then you can easily build up your rank.

Most importantly, time dedication is important; there are many users who have recently registered their accounts and are doing well in the forum, not only in terms of merit, but they also learn every day and provide better improvement feedback by creating quality posts. Not knowing anything about Bitcoin cannot be the reason for your low ranking; many users gain merit for asking very technical questions; asking such questions demonstrates that you have done your preliminary research as a beginner before forwarding it for clarification in the forum.
Dedication is key in this forum, and you will undoubtedly get a good rank and reputation.

Sometimes people feeling that ranking up is an opportunity, but i will dispute the fact because ranking up is typically for the detriment of the person who owns the account. Because people earn a merit through their active participation on the forum engagement and research, so when someone make a research of things that are new to the forum people that likes it's ideas of discovery will merit it's ideas as a sign of appreciation and encouragement. To rank up is a personal task through a quality post you make.

Creating your own post thread and receiving merit from that thread is certainly a matter of pride because we can contribute to the forum and not just participate in other people's ideas. But even so, participating in other people's ideas isn't too bad either. The comments we give of course must also be of high quality and constructive. Many participate in other people's threads and earn more merit than thread starters. That's because it depends on the quality of their posts, whether they are useful or not. Ranking up will be difficult for those who are not trying to be a good poster in this forum.

It's simple it will be hard for anybody to rank up because they always think about that everyday and most of newbies try to create nonsense post to think that they can get a merit from it, then get dismayed or mock here for telling its hard to rank up. People need to enjoy this platform and leave all up to the people if they give you merit or not since if you don't pressure yourself about it for sure you can think more deeply and then you can write topics which have sense to other forum users.

It all depends on the reason why someone joined this forum.
There are people who came to this forum to get information about crypto, or to present their crypto product or service, but there are also people who came to this forum solely for the sake of making money.
We all already know how the ways of earning on this forum work and that the most important thing is the forum rank.
For the last few years, you need to get a certain number of merits for forum rank, and since that moment, merits have become the most important story of this forum, how to get them, what to do etc.
Instead of talking about crypto topics, we talk about merits all the time 
Guys, don't stress too much about advancing on the forum or how to get merits, just be yourself, try to contribute to the forum in your own unique way and everything else will come naturally, don't worry.

On October 5, 2022, I will have my 5th birthday on this forum. I realized that I am not one of the quality posters that I can be proud of compared to hundreds to thousands of other users. I find it difficult to get merit due to poor post quality, but once I understand how the merit system works then I am very motivated to always prioritize quality over quantity.

I never complain about rankings, but I will be honest about my desire to move up the rankings to high rankings.

I feel so touched by your post and wished I were a merit source to help you rank up. You aren't a bad poster from my perspective and I know you were just being modest with your assertion there. Listen, don't be deterred in your efforts. Keep making your posts and improving on them. One day benevolence will find you. I also passed through what you're experiencing now to the point that I got stuck at Snr rank for years until July last year that I turned Hero before hitting Legendary early this year.

Don't despair. Remain focused.
