The Unnecessary Pressure For Merits

[tranthidung]

Participating in the forum and being actively, you will be exposed with shit posters and high-quality posters. High quality posters include active users and inactive users - who left the forum or were dead.

To participate in discussions, you must have enough experience to know what are topics that are non-sense, for click bait and likely will be either deleted or moved to Off-topic board. You should differentiate between topics where you can join a good quality discussions and that is good if you are joining in a signature campaign. Your posts won't be trashed as good topics won't be moved to trash can.

For more advice, please read Welcome message. I don't quote because I want you to explore it by yourself. If you don't spend a few minutes to explore it, you likely don't care about quality of posts and discussions.

The forum, is just like every other online forum or group, and all one is needed to do is just to discuss and share ideas, ask necessary question, answer questions, help solve a problem and in general be ready to unlearn,learn and relearn.

Always try to give solutions to problems, when people present a topic seeking for solution, as this also fascinates meriting a post.

No pressure for people who's not aftering something in return for posting some contents here, If they rush things because they want to earn on signature campaign then for sure they will be pressured for how hard to get those merits from other forum users.

But if they enjoy this place and do what you said like helping each other to learn or be learn some information's about some interesting things for sure they forget about the pressure to rank up here.

Even without merits people should actually do these things. The only difference is that merits become an important parameter for signature campaign which users tend to farm or pressure themselve just to be able to do campaign that incentivized posting thru btc payment. I hope all doing their needed to do here without merits.

Problem is there are users that are treating/overthinking about merits too much like that is what they are going to put up to their resume.

If one is really pursued into joining SCs then sure, merits would be a problem/challenge for them, but we all know that this forum is not primarily an earning platform.

[Adbitco]

One thing I understand about people is that they always thought of being Legendary over night without being worked for or even putting efforts to attain to that heights, I have seen many newbies asking questions of merits and ranking. In a normal sense they should always be active post and contributes to forum maybe any post that gots people attention will be merited.
So this shouldn't be a thing of pressure or being worried of getting ranked up without any valuable contributions.

The truth is always bitter

The reason why there is pressure on merit system is because some people are joining this forum to make money, some are referred by their friends but it's all about making money and the only way to get this up and running is by earning merits by all means possible, this is the truth that few people are going to ignore but I will say it anyway.

This may not be applicable to many members here because I've seen a number of users that have never intended to participate in any campaign no matter its kind, so were solely here to learn about bitcoin, secure their investment and make best moments out of members discussions from various board on bitcoin, while some came here because of gambling, politics, economics, local boards, adverts, promoting and the rest, so define your own purpose first.

I have seen a high rank member sending me a PM to send them merit and they will return the favour, if merit is nothing to take seriously why are they doing this?

Am not saying such does not exist but have you consider the rate or numbers of those involved, merit abuse in general is not what is been done here, though being a low quality poster or low rank member you may feel so, but i do say that learn what they are doing to get merit and see if you also wouldn't have some.

You can't have an extra income from posting in every other online forum. You can't call the administrator an asshole without punishment in every other online forum. Every other online forum doesn't have sixty million written messages in its board. Bitcointalk is different. It has character.

I still don't find the title very relevant.

I think the only thing they can do is spam around the gambling block and not get those post deleted, but you cannot spam and not get your post deleted, you cannot plagarised and get your account banned, you can not stop others from saying what they feel and expression of there self. Bitcointalk is far more different I agree with you about it. And how many does art contest almost every year
Far better, life long friendship can also be maintained online on a privacy scale also.

This place is a wild community that shares the knowledge of cryptocurrency with individual research of cryptocurrency and been impacted to offspring or novice in cryptocurrency and basically in Bitcoin directly, so my experience in the community, here will update you of cryptocurrency, many people learn of Bitcoin through this community, the only thing that will make you to create or make quality post that will give you merit is through your observation.

Just focus on learning and giving your best to make your post reliable and beneficial to others, that way earning merits will just come easily and unexpectedly. No need to pressure yourself about that as it will just happen once the people around you appreciate your post. So focus on making quality post and always make a post from your onhand experience, that way it will easily go straight to the heart of other members.

Stay interactive and always present the best ideas as much as you can because that will create good learning particularly for newbies. And never let yourself think of instant profits first, instead acquire good knowledge and skills first before you think of earning profits. That way, your purpose in the forum will be achieved first before you set yourself into making good profits.

Nope, it's certainly not like every other online forum. It has an edge on others. BTT is about the only forum where people read other's comments to learn and broaden their knowledge on cryptocurrency and then post (when they get to certain ranks) to earn money legitimately. No other fora (none that I know of anyway) pays you for comments you make on social media.

No one is putting anyone on pressure to earn merits but the members themselves, especially if earning merits puts them in a better position for signature campaigns. Otherwise, it's advisable for members to just take their time and make posts that will aid others; not minding whether such posts get merited or not.

Look, you're right but, I dunno how your subtitle relates with the content? Where the title creates an atmosphere in sensitive minds, to assimilate something Iike "what makes the pressure or how you'd advise peeps to surpass the pressure"? But the content says a different thing with an iota of resemblance or say -- uncordial relationship -- with the subject matter. Correct on that next time .
Yes, everyone needs understand that nothing makes Bitcointalk really different from other media sites -- or maybe for some fringe benefits, attached to committed peeps in here ? The most important part is the 'learning and unlearning' process, as you said.... You'd only get to to realise, with time , that there's still alot more to learn ( and you felt way back that you're filled already, funny isn't it? ) So I'll advise anyone -- not Just newbies (cus it seems we're having alot of peeps Poppin up from higher ranks, whom I supposed they know alot in here , Poppin with questions so unimaginable that sometimes you'd have to check through the OP to see how they got merits for their ranks) -- to listen and learn from this.

Basically, that's just how it works. It sounds so simple. But it's actually not in reality because you have to do research more often than not. Well, if you're already knowledgeable, it is a lot easier to make a reply. You don't have to exert any further effort. But if you're not, then you really need to double check on your facts or information. That's the hard part.

Furthermore, even if you're only asking a question, sometimes you have to make sure you're question hasn't been asked and thoroughly discussed yet.

Also, ranks and merits, although they automatically follow knowledgeable and constructive posts, are oftentimes pursued for their own sake, or perhaps the money that could come with them. So some are in a hurry to gain them resulting to stilted posts or threads that are obviously made for their sake.

[Despairo]

Actually you're the one who create this topic for merit fishing purpose, why you're creating a post with Merit word on your thread? you're just trying to be different like doesn't care with merit but actually you're need it.

A genuine user who doesn't care with merit will not talking about merit in generic thread, they're focus to create technical thread or discuss about high quality topic about Bitcoin.

It's really been a journey worth celebration.
I've been so happy lately about the forum and my progress so far. It's been roughly a month I joined the forum and the growth has been an amazing one with the help of the forum members and the local board.
After been introduced to the forum and consistent writing, I've really understood the fact that learning truly never ends.
I never thought It would be any way this less difficult for me because I'm not the writing type
I know it doesn't seem easy but one thing is sure, that nothing good comes easy as my journey has been so much amazing to me.
 
A friend, introduced me to this forum and has proven his love to me beyond all doubts even without direct assistance on the forum but constantly reminding me why I joined and always show me a screenshot of the ranking system and what it take to attain a certain rank and the also the possibilities of earning while interacting with people and without him knowing, I've placed him in class of my destiny helpers, because I have stayed away from so much troubles and unnecessary expenses and debts as I'm always indoors trying to meet up my goals.

I know my current level doesn't seem worths all this celebration to many, but to me it means alot to, as I'm not really a good writer, but I have been constantly reminded of the reward ahead and the only way to get it and that one of the best ways to stop bothering people is to write, which I try as much as possible to do even at midnights.

God bless you my friend and if you get to see this post,please just know that, you own a special space in my heart forever.

i want to announce my promotion toJR.MEMBER RANK as I also await my MEMBER RANKsoon.
Please celebrate with me.

Actually there's one that's still active which I won't name it. People are rewarded in points to post, which then can be redeemed for online cash or crypto but you can pretty much expect the quality of discussions there.

The title is only relevant for newbies and the competition they think they are in to rang up
in all sorts of ways just as Upgrade00 posted.

It is totally unnecessary to be so focussed on the merit system, patience and taking
the time to learn are important aspects to growing into the forum.

it's true though that the forum is very different from others. We have to have the
largest community online ??

There are lots, not just one. But, every online forum does not pay posts.

Newbies who're here just to rank up, are here just to earn some extra bucks, yeah.

We have to have the largest community online ??

We're the largest SMF-based community, but not the largest Internet board. I think the largest one is Gaia Online.

[Marykeller]

Nobody is pressuring anyone to earn merits. Merit does come when the post is good and reasonable. When you are focusing only on merits that's when it will be like the forum is unfair to you to rank up. Just be yourself in the forum and post when you have something good to say or ask.

Not all online forums can provide questions and answers with the way Btt does about crypto. We have the most talented, educated, influencers and the largest community of crypto members

I've seen many forums, and many people have introduced me to some, but none are as unique as the Bitcointalk forum.
Nonetheless, all of these forums were created for specific discussions, while others were created for general discussions; however, this forum is designed for Bitcoin-related discussions, and the way forum users are very active and willing to help and support anyone who comes to the forum asking for solutions makes the forum unique and user-friendly.

[BIT-BENDER]

Talking about an irrelevant pressure for merit can put more pressure about merit, the fact that so certain members after some merit or those who don't have at all talks about merit sounds like merit pressure to me, we are the product of what we think.

The merit pressure can die down if we stop raising it up regardless of the manner we try to raise it up, I would rather want to see talks about how newbies can improve/develop without any talks of merit in the post, definitely an improved Newbie or anyone would grow even in rank.
