What's up with ranking

[gantez]

When you talk about rank, it doesn't mean same thing with knowledge in bitcoin and other related to it. There are so many things concerning account here, some low rank account are also controlled by a higher rank member so such kind of lower rank will share very good knowledge like a higher rank. Ranks don't matter but you can have your own decision whatever advise you get to make use of it base on your additional research and decision.

is it advisable to take advice from high rank members more serious than jr member and full members?

No, what you should be in look after is the quality of the content of the advice given, a newbie can advise a newbie or legendary rank as long as it is on point, this also determines weather the receiver find it satisfactory enough or not, I've seen legendary giving wrong advise or reply and sone doing well in giving out the best, same also with newbies, not all of them are trollers, we have the serious minded ones commited to good works a d not until from the receivers end it was acknowledged, then it may be refers to as low quality advise.

Hello 👋  

I can see that some people have a high rank and some are lower, is it advisable to take advice from high rank members more serious than jr member and full members?

That's not true, all accounts for any rating can provide the best advice for other users without account ranking differences, we judge from the quality of the posts and the benefits of the suggestions that have been given depending on each individual's perception, so even if your account is ranked a newbie or jr member then you are free to provide useful suggestions to all forum users.

Low quality advice is low quality and there are various ways to determine if an advice is low quality or not, first and foremost is the content of the advice as some mentioned above, then there is how well you relate the point the adviser is making to your own situation, and finally the rank and reputation of the person giving the advice. If they are an expert in their field and have experience in similar situations, then their advice is likely to be more valuable and their rank and merit points will also be higher, which gives them more credibility. If you are being given advice from someone who is not a high ranking member, or even worse is a member with bad reputation, then there is a good chance that their advice will be low quality as well.

High-rank members earn their reputation and merits through giving a good quality of contents and information some people think the merit is hard to make well entirely some are true, but if you invest first with your knowledge and skills that could be shared here in the community, we have merit sources willingly giving merits. Some of the mistakes of the newbie is doing copy pasting other content to earn them merits, and that's why few of them get banned or have a red trust. For me, I highly recommend is to enjoy reading here, sharing information, and learning.

OP, it depends on what field you're taking the advice on. Don't generalize that high ranking members are more knowledgeable. That isn't true. We've new entrants recently who've been proving and making meaningful contributions to the forum. Look around and you will find them. One even had theymos adopt the "OP" inclusion to thread starters and that's a beautiful thing. Let me quickly add however, that you shouldn't ever take advice from anyone who tries to advise you on financial matters in your inbox without you seeking them out first, no matter their rank or perceived influence. Most often, they're scammers.

The fact that someone has a higher rank on this forum usually just means the fact that that user registered before other members on this forum and that's all.

I don't think that's all. There are members who got on this forum before 2018 but are just still Full Members in spite that they're still active while there are those who got registered here in 2020 or so but have ranked up to legendary. So, ranks don't necessarily mean that someone got registered before another.

A good indicator of which members have a good reputation within the forum community is the number of merits a particular member has received.

I won't judge anyone's reputation based on the number of merits they've. That would be using a wrong yardstick. Merit is subjective and doesn't confer reputation or knowledge on users.

In fact, I have even met certain newbie members who are not very active on this forum but come from the crypto industry and have a lot of knowledge and experience in the field  

This is absolutely true.

[Z390]

It depends, a newbie can give you a better advice than a high rank member on the forum, it all depends on the area of speciality, I knew about crypto mining before joining this forum and imagine someone asking me about mining on here, my answers will be more accurate than someone who know too less about crypto mining even if they have a higher rank.

 Nothing's actually up with ranking. Just get your findings right about a topic you either want to post on or comment on. There's no specific person suitable to take advice from but it's preferred that those who have had more knowledge on the forum, you adhere to.

 Just like the other posters have suggested, getting merits faster depends on what you do with those instructions and how constructive your posts can be.

Hello 👋  

I can see that some people have a high rank and some are lower, is it advisable to take advice from high rank members more serious than jr member and full members?

Anyone seeking for advice must have pre-advised his or herself, such that whenever they see a good or a bad advice they will decipher.
That is what happens here in the forum, even if you are totally ignorant of any particular matter or topic, while reading the discussion you would  know the particular advice or guide that is good for you.

Some legendary accounts has newbies behind them while some newbies have good knowledge of Bitcoin.
But generally, established members give more advice and are more knowledgeable than lower-ranked members.

But generally, established members give more advice and are more knowledgeable than lower-ranked members.

True and just by how some "newbie" ranking turned into Hero-Legendary within months just tells how experienced they are in crypto (not just Bitcoin). It is quite amazing to know that there are plenty of Bitcoin users out there that are just roaming around the internet and not just spending their whole time in the forum.

In the end, forum rank is forum rank anyway just like how karma count and awards are just points in Reddit.

Firstly, welcome to the forum where it all goes down on bitcoin. I hope you are open to taking those advice you source on which users would guarantee some of the best.

The forum is just sme way of promoting users whom have been here for long and have been making impacts. That doesn't mean they know much or are pros as some users find this forum more easily than others and that doesn't mean knowledge, it just implies you were opportuned.

On the whole, it's not a very common finding users with lower ranks that knows very much but, they are here alright. So just, take what you can get and what makes sense.

[Laurendaldin]

The rank system is a good indicator to assess at a glance what the probability is that the user knows what he is talking about. But in most cases, the rank just shows activity on this particular forum. And how long the participant has been registered. So we shouldn't exclude the possibility that a person is well-versed in cryptocurrencies but recently decided to join. You need to read the messages and analyze them, because that's what the forum was created for, in the end

It will depend on the personality and personal knowledge of each member. Many higher ranks have more knowledge because commonly they are much longer being in this forum, moreover, those who get many merits and rank up as higher-rank members, commonly got the merits because of their constructive posts, which, need more knowledge and also other elements that are influencing.

In this case, a longer time period in this forum doesn't mean that the members have more knowledge or being more serious. We can also find many new or lower rank members here also have good knowledge, manners, sharing, experiences, discussion, and also information. So, we cannot similarize it.

high ranking also does not determine whether he is great or not,
but usually those who already have a high rank, have broader knowledge.

and you also don't underestimate the ability of beginners, because sometimes beginners also have the same abilities as other high rankings,

So in essence, don't underestimate beginners, and don't doubt the high ranking ones.

Hello mate, welcome to the forum, the fact that there are higher rank levels to you means that they have more knowledge than you so there is no problem if a junior member will give you advice, for sure they already gain some knowledge here because they already rank up.

I also want to tell you not to focus on rank, focus first on gaining knowledge before minding to ranking up because that is the most important thing that you can have here in this forum. Ranking up is easy if you already gain a lot of knowledge in crypto, so focus on reading and be active here.

This statement is not always true. Normally it may be true, but there are some abnormal things that often happen on forums. For example, the account of the recipient of the merit airdrop due to the calculation of the activity (this happens when the merit is about to begin to be applied), there are also those who get an account because they buy an account from an irresponsible person, etc. So I'm a little disapproving if you say merit describes a person as a genius on abnormal account conditions. We'll have to look further into the posts he made. IMO

[JoyMarsha]

Don't measure up advice with ranks. Are you going to steal if a legendary member asked you to? The answer is up to you to decide.

A higher rank member is a being like me and you, who can be experienced or less experienced in life. The hidden identity of this forum has made some members think that they are higher and more experience in crypto than others. While in the real sense they are not.

Everyone in this forum is entitled to whatever advice to accept or reject. Whether it's coming from a newbie to a legendary member

Maybe you are right. Activity is also needed in order to rank up, but you forgot to mention the important thing which is merit. Even though though you have necessary activity for the next rank, but your merit isnt enough yet then you wouldnt rank up yet. Its also about merit to avoid this easy ranking up lile before. Its also an indicator for someone to see how useful and quality the post of some users.

high-rank member indicates that they have been in the cryptosphere for a while and would usually have answers to your questions or advice you might need or want but that doesn't mean that low-ranking members are less knowledgeable. if you stay here long enough you'll see low-ranking members that has far more knowledge than high-ranking members but the reason you don't really see a lot of them is that they don't stay low-ranking for long since they quickly accumulate merits and ranks up faster than other members.

In the forum knowledge comes from every rank. There are some newbies that are even more knowledgeable than higher rank members. If what you need is from the lower member rank then you are okay to take that advise. Because what you have looking for have been provided by a lower rank member.

There are two major things you most know in the forum, learning and educating. You are to learn and you are to educate. Therefore, you can give these two things at any level or rank. But in reality, high rank members give quality advise in most cases. Not all but many.
