Making post for merit

[letteredhub]

Although am still a newbie as regards making post frequently and earning merits from them, it is noteworthy to state that post which guarantee merits has to be excellent in presentation and punctuation.

If it has to be per excellence, then some posts that have received merits here shouldn't or ought not to, it's a thing if the giver's discretion based on what the reader must have drown out of the post which might not be same to other's perspective. I have come seen some thread of good punctuation and presentation but yet no quality in the message in claim to posses. Like someone said, merit is just an incentive for a job well done and not per excellence.

Don't forget that giving merits is sometimes quite subjective. Although you think it is a good post and deserves merits, other people may think it is just an ordinary post. A good post isn't only determined by punctuation and presentation, the most important is its content. It is useless if a post has no point, good punctuation and presentation are just complements.

Don't focus too much on achievements. indeed, when we get the reward we are definitely happy and become more excited.

but merit can also be used as someone's motivation, to try to improve their posts so that they become better and of higher quality.

due to merit, we will know which posts are of good quality and which are lacking.

[Magic-Money]

The system has changed for a point of having merits to rank up, which has come to a reality of making a useful or meaningful post to earn merits from others colleagues here in Bitcoin talk forum to ranking up in the system from Newbie to Jr. Member, to Member etc...

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

Actually good post depending with how valid information or opinion write, educative with post made and actually post based on their opinion without take other ideas although used with source link. I agree with you about merit can't find us but having good post on several board with huge smerit transaction will make us easy how to earn merit.

I am looking some one with huge transaction for sending merit and I try to make post on their board and first have to make quality post and give feedback based on their topic discussing.

I think to get merit in this forum one must post well and those posts should be of quality. Good advice should be given especially by creating threads so that newbies can read the post and understand it. good things can be learned from there and post verifiability will definitely help in future. Giving good advice about Bitcoin in this forum and if it is verified is certainly possible to get merit. And in this way the newbies will get good advice and move forward.

[cydrix]

My observation as time goes by, most of ranked up members now are better and a quality topic/reply poster that most readers will understand and possibly get new knowledge or an idea from it. Newbies that spammers will forever be newbies because basically the reason putting the merit system is to counter those spammers on higher ranks because merit was implemented in 2017-18 if my memory serves me well.

Don’t post to much useless and not very related topics to crypto especially to bitcoin. Merit will come to you if you have really done a good topics or replies.

[Vaculin]

From my perspective, it depends on how we look at it. People posts for all sorts of reasons, and as such, some make no effort in their posts, whilst other give it ample thought. Merits are, for many, a kind of incentive, so trying to upper one’s posting ability in order to earn Merits is not a bad thing. In a sense, having Merits in the back of the mind can trigger a person to create better content, and that’s a win-win.

The issue may arise, nevertheless, when someone posts with an overly focus on earning Merits. That often leads to outcomes such as cutting corners (i.e. plagiarising), an excessive amount of topic creation with less focus than a lesser amount would achieve (possibly creating a negative impression) or clearly sucking up to others in hope for Merits (that is not the intent for Merits).

I think everyone posts wishing to make a merit, but of course that should not be the sole purpose why we post. We are making good and quality posts because we want to create useful discussion that will help newbies in the forum, so they will be guided and have a sense of direction. We are also creating quality posts to make this forum alive, and be full of facts and information, and not with gossips and fake news. Having a merit is only a bonus, that can also help lifting our own chair and be more encouraged to make useful and quality post.

[Kasabus]

Take note merit system was implemented to combat spam there are lots of newbies before that keeps spamming or making garbage posts newbies who do not posts high quality and helpful won't receive merit and won't be able to rank up. It means newbies will stay as a newbie with limitations like posting images and wearing signature links.
And merit was implemented to force people to make helpful and high-quality posts.

Since this is a forum we need to help each other not focus to gain merit due to the signature campaign but focus on how you help the community.

Merit serves as an additional highlight in the forum as it motivates us to do more good in posting and be a quality poster. That way, aside from avoiding spamming, we can also make the forum more healthy and useful for everyone not only for newbies but certainly for all members positions. Although we should not just be thinking about it all day, because it’s also quite frustrating when you think you’ve done your best and yet no one gives you merit, so at least we are here to make our community more of a learning place.

I agree with you about merit can't find us but having good post on several board with huge smerit transaction will make us easy how to earn merit.

It just depends on how likely you are to realize it and how capable you are of doing your best there.
Quality posts only depend on who judges you and benefits from your posts, and this will differ from one user to another. Subjective, of course even if it looks good to me.

This habit pattern actually doesn't need to be done just because of your desire to get merit, but also because you are able to master what is being discussed. Of course the intention to be better should push you to make even more effort, including improving your quality by reading more.

It’s not the meriting system that we should set as a goal why we are here in the forum, since we are here to learn and to gain at the same time. But since this merit system exists, it adds more color so we can put more effort on our post, and to make it more meaningful on the eyes of the other members. And when some members see it valuable to them, they learned from it, so eventually they leave you merits which I think the poster also deserves some recognition.

Merit as a bonus from our contributions to the forum after going through a learning process, after the forum introduced a merit system, forum members are required to try to improve the quality of posts to bring them closer to a higher rank. Contributors will come with generosity in quality posts and then leave Merit there, this system will continue to provide encouragement to strive to always improve the quality of posts. Merit will come on posts that are considered quality, only that can help us get closer to a new rank.

[Sayakaaja]

useful posts always produce merit. I think it's okay, if you want merit, it's normal in this forum. because merit also occupies an important matter.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

My observation as time goes by, most of ranked up members now are better and a quality topic/reply poster that most readers will understand and possibly get new knowledge or an idea from it.

That's not always the case, not every ranked up users you see are outstanding in their replies or thread creation. Some are just average but beneficiaries of the review system that some kind users have put together to help those finding it difficulty to get merit. A quick review of some of their post history and you'll be wondering how they gathered so many merits.

Obtaining the right amount of merits for your ranking up isn't that difficult anymore, just observe what's going on the forum and you can take advantage of some opportunities but before then make sure you have a very decent post history as if you have a bad post history, you mightn't only get yourself rejected but get yourself on ignore list and hinder the chance of you getting merit in future from that particular user.

[Cantsay]

due to merit, we will know which posts are of good quality and which are lacking.

Not entirely correct, not all quality posts are rewarded with merit. A user can choose to merit any post he or she deems merit worthy, and keep in mind that everyone has their own method of determining which post to merit.
So just because a post wasn't merited doesn't mean it's a shit post or low-quality post.

Although am still a newbie as regards making post frequently and earning merits from them, it is noteworthy to state that post which guarantee merits has to be excellent in presentation and punctuation.

The forum is not a school that examines every user's post to see if they're using proper punctuation, and you should keep in mind that not everyone on the forum is from a country where English is the first/primary language. Although it is true that your post must be presented in such a way that those reading it understand what it is about easily.

A good post isn't only determined by punctuation and presentation, the most important is its content. It is useless if a post has no point, good punctuation and presentation are just complements.

I think these interconnected are inseparable. Posts with good content will be easier to understand with proper punctuation. In fact, I would feel confused to translate or interpret a reading if there were no periods, commas and whatnot. It will have a different meaning of the word if there is no punctuation in the sentence.
 
Granted most seniors will probably be quick to understand a sentence without punctuation, but I think punctuation is also very important. So make it a habit to write using the necessary signs. Moreover, the writing is not my language, it will make me even more headache.

Giving good advice about Bitcoin in this forum and if it is verified is certainly possible to get merit. And in this way the newbies will get good advice and move forward.

The point is that our posts contain insight and are useful for anyone who reads them. and to make it we try harder. pouring a little hard work and insight into our writing will make our posts quality.
But if we don't have insight, then what can we put in our posts?

so the main key is to be more diligent in reading and learning to add to the insights we have. because if we have a lot of insight, it will be very easy to make useful posts and quality posts.

And in fact the most rewarded merits are the most useful posts.

So much debate over something for which there are no exact rules or definition 
We all have different reasons for giving merits for posts and that's okay, we're all different.
There is only a general rule or principle that a quality post is rewarded with merit, something that contributes to the forum, but for each of us the concept of quality is different, so there is no point in analyzing it too much.
After all, the main purpose of participating in this forum should be to interact with other members of the crypto community from all over the world, learn something or share some news and information, not to fight for merits.
So, I would suggest to the OP to change the title, make posts that contribute to the forum community and the quality of the discussion, rather than posting for merit.
With such an approach, the merits will come naturally, without too much effort.

everyone on the forum has different views. like you who have been on the forum for a long time and have lots of discussions with very much existing knowledge. getting Merit is a bonus.
but for most beginners, the Merit they get on the forums is a motivation for them to keep growing. this is not a wrong thought. everyone who comes to the forum has their own goal.
every Merit that the more established members gave to the new ones, was like a push to make a bigger post and achieve a higher rank.

[Fara Chan]

due to merit, we will know which posts are of good quality and which are lacking.

They will judge your posts as good and quality when the posts you describe are good, posts that are based on correct information and authentic, of course they will give you awards (merits), if you want to get them working as optimally as possible, and remain consistent when making posts, good reasoning well and as well as being able to digest the topic of this discussion is very likely that your post will be of high quality.

We advise colleagues who are beginners / have just joined the forum to always be consistent in making posts, express your opinion as well as possible and of course people will appreciate it well and give you merit.
