If you don't get the merit, the ranking won't go up?

[armanda90]

Consistency making good post will easy to earn merit and increase up to your level account depend with activities added, I don't think problem with merit right now due many user have push up their account level from Newbie until become Legendary. New rule have adopted last several years with account level up not depending with how many activities having but also have each merit to get each level up.

Have been rule in Bitcointalk and need allow what adopted, I don't think any one here not happy and complaint about merit system for pushing up account to higher level.

I would like to win “Miss Bitcointalk” award next year.

Yes, of course the opportunity is wide open. You have to be excited and of course you inspire me and other friends because you are one of the best members in acquiring Merits.

Maybe for some people it happens. They don't want to develop and get merit from airdrop alone. There seems to be some of the same as that. Some people may also quit, and be inactive because they feel inadequate.
Some do get Merit easily, because indeed his post is very useful. But some people may need to put a lot of effort into merit (like me). Actually merit makes me addicted to trying to make useful posts. It also makes this forum even better at discussing.

To be honest, I'm still a beginner here. and I want to ask if our ranking will not go up if we don't have merit?

please explain, and thank you

Hi, I'm sure you are satisfied with the answers you got from other members regarding your question and it's 100% true that your account won't rank up if you don't get 'merits', so you have to work hard to improve your account reputation and your post quality .

...
You can read in this thread where you must have both activity and merit if you want to rank up Merit & new rank requirements.

It doesn't like in the past before 2018 where you can rank up if you only have activity, merit is a way to prevent from spammers and low quality post users. So if you don't get any merit, it mean you're a shitposter.

Your last words are harsh on newbies, it's not a crime that we're new to the forum or haven't made merit convincing posts. Definitely with time merits will come and we'll move up the ladder. All the same no hard feelings.

I think you don't need to get carried emotion away with the words made by despairo, his presentation looks harsh but in my opinion, it's good because he conveyed it firmly and clearly, good luck to you.

[Sakanwa]

Well I was likely thinking to ask this someday but well I realized that if we been newbies want to rank up we need to be active and also post quality things that will bring merit to you,on like me I don't have merits and still praying to have it as well.
You need to take your time and try to post a quality stuff I guess that can lead to your merit too.
I asked a friend that introduce me to Bitcoin talk and after that he do receive merit most days and his rank has grown high as well so I was wondering so he told me I need to make a quality post then I can get merit and ever since then I have been trying to work on my post so as to get merit and to rank up to the next one too.

From what I observe merit is just a way of applauding or publicly appreciating user for a quality thread or comment that meets a demand or a need. The merit is a growth factor that's comes through our comments and posts . And Yes our growth in ranks depends on it but not our growth in knowledge we acquire from the forum about crypto. So it all depends on what you're looking for here that you will then put your focus on.

Most person's know that merit comes as a result of quality post,but to those newbies who just got started and are feeling frustrated that they've stayed here for a long period of time and the merit is not coming,I want to let them know that the merits are not coming because their mind is set on getting merit.The merits will come when they choose to improve in the kind of posts they make.
You might not have problem with the merit system,but some of the newbies may,and only improving in their post will make them get that merit.

[Sakanwa]

Getting of merit is actually an act of making good post and quality topic too, it is really awful me telling you how and I don't have alot if merit I guess am not that notice for not but I guess I will and am as well trying to posting quality post too but yet I still have to I prove me self so I can get alot of merit with my quality post, so if you want to get merit you need to keep out your best so you can get it.
You need to be creative and smart to topic you come across here.
For you to get merit you to study what you about to discuss on,the topic you are about to reply or contribute to you have to study it and understand what it all about before getting to write on them.

Your observation is not wrong. Constructive and quality interactions with this community are appreciated by merits and this system was introduced to give spammers and useless posters a hard time to rank up and to enjoy privileges like reorganization in this community and slot in signature campaign.

It got no differences from writing constructive posts . But, being a good poster alone not enough but you need to be a good contributor to this community in some unique way.

[pawanjain]

Yes.

You can read in this thread where you must have both activity and merit if you want to rank up Merit & new rank requirements.

This is not true. Many sections have Merit-sources who do not hand out merits properly IMO. Just learn, read, and post what you can. Merits come with Knowledge and trust.

Exactly. Just because one does not have enough merits doesn't necessarily mean he is a shit poster.
There are boards in this forum where there are not enough merit sources and not enough engagement.
Also, different people have different perspective and while one may like a post the other might not.
There can be reasons why a good post might not get any merit at all.
But I would say that we should make posts to get and give knowledge and focus less on the merits.
If a person will run behind merits then he will find it even harder to get them.
Just focus on the tech and keep making knowledgeable posts will easily get you enough merits to rank up.

You both make a valid point and I wonder why Emitdama said letteredhub because you're actually on the same page. However, getting merit is not always about making a constructive post cause it can be earned through a good contribution that helps others and it also comes through luck at some point because there is a huge constructive post that didn't get any merit.

For you to get merit you to study what you about to discuss on,the topic you are about to reply or contribute to you have to study it and understand what it all about before getting to write on them.

Yes, being a good contributor to the community that's focused on by merit sources.

Perhaps a bit more light should be shed on other unique ways one can contribute to rank up without merit concerns as this. I understand OP's tone right now and as true as it sounds, one has to really give thoughts and do proper research with good presentation to actually attract any merit from the sources they come from. I guess OP already knows this, but what needs to be stressed on is how strict the matter is.
One just has one choice left, sharpen up your writing and research on tech skill. This is a note to myself also.

There is no unique ways to earn merits or rank up without being merit conscious. As a lower ranked member, you will get merited when you provide quality posts and you will produce quality posts when you are merit conscious. It is not bad to be merit conscious, what is bad is begging for merits.
Earn your merits in whatever legitimate way you want and don't listen to the people that propagates the merit fishing philosophy.
You cannot rank up without merits, so make posts that will attract merits even if they have to call it merit fishing. If you sleep, your account will sleep also.

[Qiubell5]

yes, it is very clear that you will not be able to rank up before you have merit first. make posts that are useful for everyone, and can keep everyone motivated.

we have much more to learn, for you and me.

[Z390]

Merit is the last thing to be serious about on this forum, this could get you distracted and you can start doing things wrongfully, be yourself and post what you believe it's right and helpful for other members, slow and steady always win the race, sooner or later merits will find it's way to you. Create topics about helpful tips and engage in different discussions, in every discussion always drop something reasonable, that's all.

Yes, this is exactly the case, and my account is an example of this. I have already fulfilled the activity norms for rank increase a long time ago, but the lack of merit doesn't allow me to get the next one. In general, each account has 2 important parameters, without which it is impossible to increase. This is activity and merit. If the first accumulates by itself after the expiration of time (and a sufficient number of posts), then the second must be deserved. Merits are distributed by other users if they consider your posts worthy of it. So, try and merit will not keep you waiting long.

[Obari]

I'm sure you know this
And the answer is yes as the merits are strictly needed for you to rank up accompanied with your activity counts.
It might seem difficult at some points to earn merits but I'm sure the moment you start flowing with the tides, the merits starts flowing in and there are also some threads tht help people with merits for some good lost they've made without getting any merits on them and those members who give out such merits are known as merits source and they are in charge of helping distribute merits to forum members without enough merits.

[Saisher]

If you're not going to participate in a signature campaign and you just want to casually engage in discussion merits and ranking will not matter to you, but if you want to target higher ranks so you can have authority and you want to be part of bounty campaigns, you will find ways to get merits, some members are freely giving merits all you have to do is to be more concern on what to post and how to post.
There are merit threads that you have to check to qualify your post to gain merits.
