Making post for merit

[erep]

If you have a mindset like that where you only post to get merit then you are most likely not getting merit because of that. Due to a mindset like that then many newbies that are like that will only post non-constructive post instead of thinking and doing research on what's best to do in order to post good or high quality post that are surely get merited. I have seen some people who joined in this forum and only wanted to earn merit but didn't get much merit where they only quit or being inactive in this forum.

The mindset of beginners must be changed that posts that deserve merit should provide knowledge for members in general or respond/provide specific solutions for members who need answers to problems they cannot solve, if the two methods above can be improved to start a constructive post then he will get merit among the next few quality posts, but the first step to getting merit for a beginner is that he should understand the main points of each thread then expose the quality posts for a detailed explanation of the main discussion of that thread.

When you post for merit others will see it and your chances of getting a lot of it will decrease.

Posting a lot increases this chance but in the long run you're better making 1 good post a week than 10 shitposts a day.
Eventually people will start adding you to their ignore lists and you'll start being noticed by spam busters and moderators. It's really not worth it.

Post whenever you feel like it, don't think of merit when you want to say something, just do it. If it comes naturally you'll eventually start being noticed.

Good luck!

Merit is needed for growth in this forum and it will not be a bad idea if people are making good efforts to grow. Everyone likes merit and merit is used for growth and is also used to know quality posts. Trying hard to make good post to get merits can also be a good way to push someone to be a good quality poster.
Where it will not be fine is if when posting to get merits, the person is not learning anything from the forum. That is the bad expect of everything. Everything should have a limit and rules and regulations should always been followed.

 I have been seeing alot of post lately about merits and I Just keep laughing...
Everyome deserves to get merited for reasons the giver decides... It's not something you'd just go ahead and act like you don't need them ...lol.. the thing is; if you need merits, then work for it. Don't let words describe how much you need them, let your actions do so for you.
It's even made easy this days that's we've got alot of merit sharing threads; tbh, when I got registered, I wasn't even lucky to benefit from RATIMOV's thread ( ofcourse it was very active by then), but I came just after he lost interest in it...that didn't discourage me; I just kept seeing myself as a reputable member ( and I did these cus I knew my worth), ...and here I am, three hundred and sixty... whattt? And still counting...
I'd advise you to let yourself into it... Don't try to bypass the system nor it rules, you'll only get smacked... Keep your head up and stay FOCUSED, be CONSISTENT and one day, you'll also advise someone else on how to be like you.

As far as I understand, the one you explained is different from what I explained. The reason is that they are learning to post good/high/constructive post to earn merit where the mindset I am talking about is that they should start learning how to post high quality post before joining discussions and get merited because of your knowledge.

actually I interpret this forum as friendship on facebook.
if we make something meaningful and useful for others, surely many will like the post.
and merit is not something to always worry about. even though we know that this is a forum as a source of all crypto news and other news.
but why sometimes someone considers something difficult in this forum.
we just need to consider this forum as our friend, that's good enough

[Stedsm]

To newbies, I'd only request to please keep it on-topic.
I have seen some good quotes merited too, but it depends on how and where these newbies use it.
The best example of merit giving festival was the recent Bitcointalk Bitcoin pumpkin carving contest where many users got rewarded merits and some of the best works even got some prizes for their works. If you have some skills to show off, merits are yours. Knowledge isn't the only thing to share, you can share everything, from news to your works.

[Franctoshi]

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.

The search for merit will encourage and help you to work hard, do more research ,bring up good ideas and also have positive contribution in the forum in order to get the merit, hence people will post shit. Though the poster main focus is on getting the merit but in order hands It will get you improve your post quality, because base on my little stay here most of the time you won't get merit for posting shit exept someone merited you by mistake.

theymos has selected several Merit Sources equipped with sMerit every month, they will always monitor forum activity every day and will distribute merit on posts that are considered quality. Merit is not something that is difficult to get if someone understands how Merit works, it takes patience and knowledge that can benefit other users. The biggest mistake anyone has ever made is posting expecting Merit. Merit does not need to be expected, it will come if it is supported by quality posts.

Merit sources aren't always monitor this forum every day and in every boards, it's up to them when they want to login in this forum and which posts they will give merit. A merit source could be inactive and he didn't distribute his merit for a month, but it depends on theymos if he want to kick him from source or not. However you can also send merit since you've 191 merits which is you have 95 sMerit.

Someone doesn't need to understand how merit works to get merit, actually the one who want to send need to learn it.

One significant aspect I have observed in my journey in the forum is that post or contributions with good content attracts merits to itself from users and the post or contribution made doesn't necessarily need to be lengthy for it to be regarded as a quality post. focus on making great contributions to the forum if you want to earn merit, it's like the law of sowing and reaping, if you sow into the soil good seeds then definitely you will reap back good harvest. Merit becomes a concern to you only when you lack quality  content in your contributions.

[Peanutswar]

Different post has a different approach and different post has different impact, perspective and thoughts to the readers and giving merit is subjective too if you like the post created by the other member because in some instances you can give merit it's not all the time rely in a lot of data too sometimes it happens, also different member here has a different goal, if you want to earn merit because you want to become known easily that's good, you want merit because you want to get part of the signature campaign well okay, as long as you enjoy here giving ideas, exchange information later on time goes by you are now realize become a quality contributor who receives merit.

[8rch7]

Based on have meaningful and educative post, usually I have another ideas about how to get merit points trough looking with most active merit sender and I used my skill post on most merit sending board. I think all board in Bitcointalk forum have the same potential with sending merit points depend with how quality post having, but not fault when looking for some one have habit for sending merit usually in Bitcointalk Boar discussing.

You can check with habit from some DT always send merit points every day to highest quality post and you need allow to make post there in board they are discussing, can't guarantee automatically get merit points, have important first time need increase with post quality.

I can mostly agree with you.
Personally, I give merits on this forum for posts that are constructive and can help new members with some new information or advice.
When I see that someone has invested their time and effort to prepare their post, and that this content can help other members on the forum, I regularly reward such posts with merits.
Of course, new forum members usually don't have enough knowledge and experience to write such posts, but they can always do their best to research something and post what they found.
I know that many older forum members are happy to help new forum members and reward their every, even the smallest positive contribution to this forum.

The quality of posts cannot be seen from one perspective, because different people have different ways of giving ratings, the merit system applies and can be given when you start consistently improving quality, posts that are subjective are sometimes not seen in certain sections.

The point is to remain consistent and continue to improve the quality of posts, while merit will definitely come when these qualifications meet the criteria, I have done this and can be said to be successful for further ranking increases.

Always make sure to post good quality content that is related to the topic you choose for more chances of getting merit. Great work comes with great rewards you deserve. Goodluck and happy posting!

One thing that i always like about this forum is in terms of identifying those posting for phishing merits and the community will always catch them, if you're posting they read the mind in which you're posting through, I don't know maybe it's a kind of psychic abilities some experience members have got in doing this right and accurate, there's no need for manipulation before you can post to entice someone, all that is required is just to be real self and truth.

Is no psychic abilities but just experience, those trying to do such forget that high ranked members were once newbies too and have seen what they're trying to do now numerous times or had similar thoughts when they were like them but didn't go down that path in deciding to go hurting for merits instead they took the high road and it paid off. Immediately newbies start writing for merits it'll become very obvious as your words will just be ass licking or going to copy & paste information that we all can access on the web while they think they're smart.

You can also observe this as these hurters tend to go to boards that are flowing with merits to communicate with hopes of getting some piece of the pie meanwhile they have no knowledge about things been discussed there and are just off topic with their contributions. Just by reading some one post, you can easily identify when someone is trying too hard to fit among.

Most newbies make post because of their anxiousness to get merit. Out of this anxiousness, irrelevant posts are often made. Although I'm once like this. My first merit was like I won a jaspot of over a million dollar. I was so excited. But today I see merit as something to be gain as one contribute towards the forum. 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.

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.

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.

correctly. as long as we comply with the rules in this forum then there is no problem. Merit can indeed be a motivation so that we try harder and learn more to contribute to this forum and make posts that are useful for everyone. and in fact many members here are motivated to move up in rankings and they keep trying to make quality posts. and that's great. And the Merit system has been proven to reduce the number of spammers.
