Why it's so hard to rank-up?

[BITCOIN4X]

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.

I got the post today, my last 5 merit seem worth it for him.
I like someone who doesn't complain about why they can't get a lot of achievements to move up the rankings. All they need to do is try and prove to other people that they're not bad posters, that's the best way to go and I think that will do them some good rather than complaining.

Thank you for your kind words of motivation, I am impressed.

For now I'm starting to feel good things coming as support for me. Of course I will use it as encouragement to always motivate me to do my best. Hopefully the good things are also felt by other users too so that they never find it difficult to rank up. I firmly believe consistent effort never betrays results, no matter how long I have to wait to rank up, it's not important because it just depends on how I can maintain the quality and how I improve. Hopefully this year I can rank up to Hero, that's an achievement that I really want to feel.

I would also get motivated if I am in your situation. That's should how a person should think when they many people complaining about how it is very hard to rank up when the truth is that it is hard because people are only complaining and not thinking why they didn't rank up since it's all their doing why it happened. Anyway, continue what you know best and maybe that will you rank up to next milestone you aim to achieve.

Previously, To rank up required you to publish posts when you reach a certain number of posts you take a new rank, but now if you want to rank up, you can publish useful topics and long posts and help beginners and respond to various inquiries and discussions, and then you will get a lot of merits Which will help you to get the highest rank, it's just simple, all you have to do is help others and gain the respect and trust of everyone, then to rank up will be easy, you just have to post constantly without stopping and take care of the quality of what you write as it is not copied or plagiarized from any source and is be from your mind and your own knowledge.

Ranking up has become challenging in the forum because several of us have started other money-making endeavors, particularly Bounty activities. Doing too much will prevent you from having the time to examine what is happening on the forum, and I don't think you can take any action if you don't know how things work on the Bitcoin forum.
Second, you will conduct a lot of research so you can contribute valuable information to the forum. If you are the lazy type, ranking up will be challenging because ranking up requires commitment and hard work because if you are not the hardworking type, how will you interact with forum users?

[Stella Mese]

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 agree with your opinion, of course the purpose of joining this forum is not because
income. because the purpose of this forum is for discussion that will generate benefits for all forum users. not for the pursuit of income.

It's okay. There's no other way I could've put it other than how I did and that's an honest way of stating a fact. By the way, you may want to report a few of your posts that haven't been merited which you think are merit deserving at [Merit] Share your best posts/threads with Fillippone to be merit assessed, a thread started a few days ago by Fillippone. Kindly peruse the OP and follow the instruction.

When you are well-versed in blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, ranking higher is not that difficult. You will be rewarded with many merits if you know how to assist others in this forum and how to share crucial updates. Learn first, then inform other forum users of what you have learned. Its as simple as that.

Uh...bruh you are being honest with yourself, so why do you continue with the bounty hunting, and it is not even a money-making endeavor, you can't call it that because you either get a token that has no use or worth, or many times you will not get anything at all, so honestly you are not making any money from it, but losing time, if you know the correct thing to do, you do it. Cheers!

[Aowizz]

a newbie it's hard to rank up because newcomer like me sometimes to afraid to write their opinion because the rule offten to strict, they are to afraid and insecure because sometimes i wanna post something and then i'm thingking maybe my post is't good enough and likely became spam or maybe someone see it as a junk post. If someone too hard to write their opinion then it's likely it's also make them hard to improve.

Lol you are right, from what I see it seems he/she just wants to full filed his weekly signature report, bounty hunting is wasting time leave nothing but regret

One may feel somewhat insecure posting around here on topics he is not too acquainted with,  though that shouldn’t be a deterrent for people to participate, but rather a pointer to gaining a bit of a background on the matter at hand.

The rules are not really that harsh, but there is a kind of developed culture here, whereby posts are generally a bit more elaborate in thought and content than those that one would make on fast-paces social network platforms.

That's a common misconception I see, thinking that you have to be knowledgeable in order to rank up which often leads to newbies getting into trouble (mostly due plagiarizing). The key is is to be genuinely interested in bitcoin, and asking the right question will often bring you more merit than helping someone.

You are overthinking it buddy. Its perfectly normal for your posts to be of less quality if bitcointalk is the first forum that you are active on, or if you are new in crypto. As long as you are staying on topic and not regurgitating what's been said already, you will be good.

Well, this is indeed a factor that can cause someone to rank-up faster than the others but that is not the sole criterion on why people rank-up.

Personally, I started joining this forum without even knowing anything, let alone, about all the nature of cryptocurrencies. It took me a couple of years in order to at least touch the surface and understand its fundamentals; and it took lots of effort on my end to achieve it. But, a person may rank-up even without being "that" knowledgeable about the topic.

It really goes a long way if a person replies in a thread in a coherent, smart, and orderly manner. The way they evoke their thoughts and share their insights has this impact that can garner you merits as long as you stay on the topic.

[Gallar]

I am a beginner here, the first thing I did was find out what the benefits of being a member of this forum are, it turns out that here are a lot of benefits that I can get,

I can get to know more people

I can discuss

and I can get more understanding about crypto investing, because of the many members, I can see more understanding

and I don't care about my ranking, as long as I join here to get my knowledge and understanding, it's more than ranking in my opinion.

[Bhig Daddy]

I believe that ranking up is not all that difficult. I didn't take advantage of a chance to gain merits in order to get the whole number of merits I currently possess. I made an effort to participate on this forum, and I eventually succeeded. You must have confidence in your ability to succeed so that you may quickly move ahead in the rankings from where you currently stand. Currently, you only need a few merits to move up. Wishing you luck in reaching your goal milestone.

[bakasabo]

I think I will never understand people that claim that ranking is difficult. Maximum rank is legendary, it takes 2 years to achieve it. You cant get any quicker. 2 years is more than enough to understand how forum work, what people want, what people value and how to be useful. Just spend 2 years, set a goal to be a legendary and you will be a legendary. That is so simple. People that complain that getting merit is difficult. It is actually not. It is possible to get tens or hundred merit during first week, it is even possible to get 1000 merit in a day. But that person still needs to wait 2 years before he will  be legendary, and you cant just wait. So not getting merit is not a real problem with ranking. It is so hard to rank-up because people are lazy and impatient.

I am new to this forum, but as far as I know it is not difficult to rank up. Because if you want to get merit, you have to use your own knowledge to help others or give good knowledge. So that they benefit a lot. Then you will definitely get merit. But if you post on altcoin board, you can never earn because it is spam side, to say here, everyone's post quality is same. So you have to post Bitcoin discussion, meta, economics, mining etc. If you post in these, you will definitely get credit.

Welcome to the forum, I've seen your merit history so it's really not that hard to get merit to increase rankings, there are many opinions that we stay focused on improving the quality of posts and sharing something useful to others, so get used to it often for posting quality will be rewarded for some merit. However, the main goal is to contribute to the forum and share important things to increase knowledge in the forum.

Higher rank means good opportunities here in the forum, but why its so hard to rank up?
Here's what I realized for almost 5 years here in the forum and still at a lower rank.

1. You can't please everybody here - Even if you create a good topic, you can't expect everyone to appreciate your work and probably will receive little to none merit since we all have different standards and qualifications before we gave out merit.

2. Being Inactive - Don't expect to rank up if you are not active especially on making good contents. I have my busy days and really not active but when I do have a task here, I always make sure to qualify for that but again, that's not enough.

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.


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.

What many persons do not understand about this community that you can please anybody and we should not write here for the purpose to please people to give us merit. If we keep writing good posts, I think earning merits will but be a problem and we should not have the mindset of writing to get merit. That should not be our focus rather to write a post that will ha e effect even though it's not for everyone but at least some set of people need to see that post as a guideline or and effective one. Please let's not write to please rather we should write to impact knowledge that will go a long way.
