Making post for merit

[Pmalek]

Thank you for this post, I think this has been my case,  am always here for merit, which I haven't gotten for more than six months, I believe one day merit will come.

Think of ways in which you can contribute instead, and you are likely to notice a difference. Improve a discussion and keep it going with new and thought-provoking information, interesting data, comparisons, or anything else you might think of. You have problems getting merits also because of the types of activities you partake in. You participate in bounties and you have many posts in Politics & Society. No one is going to merit your bounty work (merit sources don't go there), and many members like to stay as far away as possible from the Politics sub.

I don't get it, let's please stop pretending as if merit is not important, a few high-rank members have contacted me to send them merits before and they will do the same and I ignore the message, as for those saying they can see the desperation in posts that needs merits what difference does that makes?

Smerits are meant to be sent to others whether you like it or not, there are posts that are not up standard that still get merited anyways and there are some that are good but never get merited.

Smerits owners holds the key, merit a shitposter or quality poster the choice is yours.

Newbie must have a strategy so that merit sources pay more attention to their posts. So that when they make quality posts, merit sources will appreciate them. In my opinion, the method is very simple, newbie must know which board merit source visits most often. Then they have to be more active there by leaving quality posts so that it's easier to get merit because almost every day they get monitoring from merit sources. This strategy can also encourage Newbie enthusiasm to continue to exist and be even more enthusiastic about increasing Rank.
Newbie should also often read helpful tips to fuel their enthusiasm for merit, one of which is written by Fillippone on this topic Ranking up is possible! 2900 Merits earned in less than 12 months!My 11 Hints!.

Most newbies make post because of their anxiousness to get merit.

But this is a good thing don't you think if everyone knows that merit comes with writing quality posts then
everybody will be out there making these quality posts which is the intention of Merit So basically this is a win-win for everyone!

Out of this anxiousness, irrelevant posts are often made.

The way I see it, if one makes most of these irrelevant (spam) posts and chances are high that you might get your self ignored and no merit will come your way.  

Although I'm once like this. My first merit was like I won a jaspot of over a million dollar. I was so excited.

Let's be honest here, the merit you received was to congratulate you for the million dollar win otherwise congrats on the win  

Newbies should be aware that is better to work towards contributing to the forum than running to build merit. Making post because of getting merit make one get discouraged after making several posts which you think will merited but not merited.

Unfortunately many of these guys make too many bounty posts and you will hardly see any meaningful posts which lands these guys on the ignore list.

CONCLUSION: Don't search for merit, let merit come for you through your meaningful post. Never make post because you want to get merit but because you want to help others and the community through your post.

There is nothing wrong with searching for merit, isnt this called grinding for merit and several people have done it and got tons of it so it's all about being creative about it and ones posting.

You couldn't be more correct, bruh. Inasmuch as everyone has their reasons for posting, I think it's quite low for one to make a post with the aim of fishing for merits. Then the beauty of the whole thing is lost.
 The way I see merit getting is like a music composer who knows his onions; composing beautiful harmonies seamlessly. Same with a poster who makes meaningful posts and before you know it, the merit just start rushing in.
If there's one thing I've learned about life, it's that you may not get something when you expect it.

It depends on the point of view we see it, actually, but many posts may be too careless and they don't want to try to make quality/good posts so that people are interested in these posts, everyone posts of course for a reason, and some people apply common sense. very good and mature in thinking about and expressing it as efficiently as possible, merit is very important and awards are considered very valuable, in my opinion there is nothing wrong with increasing posts and getting merit is not wrong.

Many beginners make posting mistakes, maybe people who are just adapting can do it even if it's not on purpose, suggestions for getting merit don't focus too much on posting too much to expect merit, all results will appear posts that are not expected, and for beginners we recommend in order to remain consistent in posting (High Quality) with this we are sure you will get merit.

[AHOYBRAUSE]

I didn't care for merit but somehow for many it seems to be important.

This year I will try to add more to the community so maybe I can finally level up.

But since I'm still learning about crypto and it's surrounding it's not easy the provide interesting contest.

I guess you meant "jackpot" there. It's a nice feeling when that happens as it shows how deeply that which one receives is appreciated.

Making post because of getting merit make one get discouraged after making several posts which you think will merited but not merited.

That's why, like a butterfly hunter, you don't go chasing a butterfly with a net. Just be still with outstretched net and the butterfly will gently come to you or fly into your nest. Don't over stress for merit. It will come when it will.

Take note merit system was implemented to combat spam there are lots of newbies before that keeps spamming or making garbage posts...

Oh, dear! This place is very sane and tidy compared to what is obtainable in other fora. This is great kudos to both meticulous members here who report these spams and the mods who also clean them up. I once moderated for a forum and can say that here is almost spam free when aligned with that other forum.

Many people who are new always be inquisitive of earning merit, and when you come across them you will notice that they do make a lot of thread, because of they want to earn a merit and it will make them to be posting meaningless post and also got deleted of post they I'm seeing it. Earning merit is typically from the person understanding and innovation of making a good response from people.

[romeitaly]

I might be wrong but half of every new post created by newbies to full member ranks are for merit sake.  Everyone has the zeal to grow in ranks and many people perceived that creating new post attracts more merits. They cannot be far fetched from that because merits sources and some higher members merits these posts base on the efforts the writer puts into it (some could even be old posts rewritten). The main thing is to just have an ample of what you're writing about. Not some individuals sharing post they do not have an basic knowledge about.

So it's not entirely bad creating post for merit sake but make it something educative and a content from you not a plagiarized content.

I'm related to your post. I'm still a newbie and doesn't get any rewards or earnings here in this forum. But I'm still not giving up that's why I'll make sure myself to post more appropriate every time. Merits can help me to grow more here in this forum.

CONCLUSION: Don't search for merit, let merit come for you through your meaningful post. Never make post because you want to get merit but because you want to help others and the community through your post.

if your goal is to make a post just for merit then it will be difficult to achieve, but if your goal is to make a post to help other members then your chances of getting merit are very large, because there are many merit sources that will appreciate your post or help in this forum.

But contribution to the forum will still earn you merits anyway , so the fastest way to earn merit is to contribute, isn't it the same thing? Difference is you can't post shit or plagiarism the forum and expect any rank up.

Have you seen members who make short posts but get merit? it can mean that the post is liked or appreciated by other members. what has to change is your habit of posting, don't be stingy with the knowledge you get from real life. help other members (with your valuable posts, suggestions or services) then it will be your big contribution.

That sounds really good, but I don't see you as a rookie here because you've been a rookie since June 23, 2017. Which means you've had some really fun experiences in this forum even though you say you haven't earned any rewards or earnings in this forum. Because for me it is a bonus from the campaign that is being followed by someone in this forum.

Why do I say that, because everyone must continue to make posts that are useful and have the value of knowledge that can be picked up in them so that there are more people in this forum who want to reward their posts and the benefit of that is that you will be more easily accepted in any campaign when you try to apply for it when the campaign is open or when you need new participants.

I think actually in discussing in this forum the most important thing is to know our initial purpose in entering this forum, whether to seek insight or seek achievement. but of course
the most important thing is to find good insight that is useful for ourselves and members of the bitcointalk forum, and the reward is as a bonus received by people who deserve it.
so I'm sure the people who join here are mostly people who invest in bitcoin, and people who are going to invest in bitcoin, so it's clear that the most important insight to look for is not a reward, because most of us are investors and of course we have to have high knowledge to achieve success in the field of investment. so rewards can be said to be a motivator so that we are more enthusiastic in discussions and as a driving tool so that we are of higher quality in discussions.

Your conclusion is right. I've created 2 threat for Merit moderator remove my post . Now I've decided get more knowledge about forum. It will improve my post quality. A quality post helps me to get merit.

Actually, counting thread starter posts, and posts placed in existing threads, you’ve now got what looks like 20 deleted posts and 17 non-deleted posts. I can’t tell how many of those deleted posts you’ve deleted yourself (if at all), and how many have been deleted by the mods, but the ratio of deleted posts, 20/37 is tremendously high. Mods may not take a shine to that ratio.

Just don’t be in a rush to post. The initial idea should be to gain some knowledge and decide what kind of topics interest you most, bearing a fair share of reading as a likely essential.

Everyone will gain merits if he deserves. If anyone is focusing on merits and he is trying to get merits with copy pasting so it is not fair. When he will make a good and constructive and informative post. He will definitely get merits. The post quality should be you first priority not the merits.

[bbigtart]

Previously, I had indeed applied the principle of my posts which were constructive in this forum, so I didn't really expect merit because I was sure that if the quality of my posts deserved merit, I would definitely get them.

In order to minimize spam on this forum, in this case that is not educational or cheap, it's best not to start changing from our mindset in every post.

I will also to some extent disagree with you on this. One can search for Merit through a good post. If you want search for Merit, just create a very good, educative or contribution thread then merit on it own will enter your account. The way I understand the system, merit can not find you in anyway but you the individual have to look for merit and that is where quality post will come in. Making a post to get merit is not a bad idea because it lead the person to create good articles in the forum. And through the quality post, users are informed and educated

Yes exactly mate everyone here in our community,  can earn merits but it depends on their posting style cause if I have sMerits then when I saw a good post or reply especially if I earn some knowledge from that specific post then I'll give a small amount of merits to the Op or the user who post that topic. But as a sender it's very helpful to know that our merited topic will be the original and not a copy paste from another resources and posted it here without the supporting details or a credits to the owner.

but you can see the plagiarism thread. beginners, even some members who have earned enough merit have been caught plagiarizing to make content that looks good. it is something wrong. whether they read the forum rules first or not. but because to gain Merit, people use any means.
some people don't think merit is accounts that contain bounty reports every day. they seem too focused on the bounty campaign, and never interested in learning what's on the forums.
