Be calm and let things flow.

[Cryptomultiplier]

Having relocated to a new place because of work or joined the Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency community because of money, it takes courage to do both and succeed where others fail.
I had to relive life as if I was born a new. On the contrary, one common trait that seemed to bother most, as I have come to see, is that of trying to fix everything.
When someone knows what is wrong, instead of ignoring or finding a way around it, they try to report it or complain about it or act in animalistic manner without fixing anything in total.
I have also realized that it is always better to let things flow, in the sense that one just overlooks the problem and firstly seeks peace of mind and ordered reasoning. If after making the case known to a superior and nothing is done still, with being calm and appearing unbothered, the fuss will somehow become clearer and solutions will surface. I.e. give the problem a day or two, if it doesn't present a solution, please seek further advice or a mentor.

As with the case of this forum, newbies should try to be calm as with the merit and post section rush that is more of a trend these days. Be calm and take your time to understand the way things get done here, mostly as regards comment style, presentation of work, organization of reference and links,  terms and languages being used. You will see how things just flow with ease.

You have a nice advise for everyone, but letting things flow has its limitations. Some things may insist to get solved on it's own, like in the activities of this forum. If a newbie is calm and reads the forum without being creative with their writing they may not get merited by members. I think with the last sentences of your thread being implemented by a newbie that wish to climb the ranking lather they can easily get there. That is when the merits will start flowing.

It does have it's limits and that's where complaint comes if you really can't find a solution for that problem. If it's about ranking then complaining about it doesn't make difference since that system is used to prevent people who only come here in forum which such goal like increasing their rank to join bounty campaigns or a bounty hunter that only spam the forum which many people doesn't like it or frowned upon. If a person really want to join this forum to learn and such then the merit system is nothing for a person to worry about and I see such person achieve that and now have enough merits to become a legendary member.

Merit flows only when quality posts are been made,and to be calm in Bitcoin requires patience .Moreover,bitcoin is a thing of patience, if one is not patient enough it seems as if nothing is working but if patience is applied the result is usually big, as a beginner in bitcoin trading you have to expect lot because before  everything big comes a big risk, most times people give up because of little patience and fear of losing money and so on but when they finally accept the risk and wait patiently they surely have good results. Another thing about bitcoin trading is to understand the margin reading and the rest to know when coin is high or low so that you won't sell at a rate by which you lose.

it's important for newbies to brand themselves right away after they read all the rules and fully memorize them, what I mean by branding themselves is to post on topics and categories where they are comfortable posting and have knowledge on the subjects and try to increase their knowledge daily so they can participate in a healthy discussion.
Merits will eventually come when members perceived you as someone who has authority on the subject.

[Lida93]

One unnoticed behavior that breeds poor quality post is the attitude by some newbie making it a compulsory task on themselves that they must have to make a certain number of post or comments per day irrespective of whatever only for them to end up ditching out series of garbage for a post or comments.
Energy that should have been used to produce a single quality material contributing to the forum it's rather spent with a wrong perspective. The sooner newbies conceives that the forum is about quality and not quantity the easier the merits will flow in many ways than one for them.
In a nutshell, go for quality over quantity, for that's were the secret of merit lies.

No one should even need to take posting this seriously. All you need to do is to not spam, not plagiarize, and don't post useless stuff. That's pretty much it. For some reason people here tend to talk about Bitcointalk as some ultra-complicated thing that you need to study.

[HajiBagi]

Great advice to the members, both newbie and other members who have been rank up to another levels, because I think everyone will like to go to another level of rank up, having a merit is not that difficult but you have to be calm with anything you do in the forum, you rush to got merit won't help if you are not making any creative post or comment in the forum, you have to read and understand what you is posted before you bring your own ideas and when your ideas are good believe me you will get a merit without expecting it, also we are here to grow up each other in many ways.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Philosophical post. But the problem is that your efforts will not be taken into account by those who are in a hurry. Someone who comes here to learn about bitcoin will rarely spam; they don't care about merit. But when you see that a person, day after day, creates a bunch of unnecessary topics and leads manuals, being an amateur and not caring at all about the answers in his open topic, this suggests that he will soon leave the forum. Since such people always make a bunch of mistakes.

You are right about patience. Patience is a character trait of a person who is constant in achieving his goal and is present everywhere and in everything. Even if, at first, he does not get much success. It is always necessary to study deeper than to acquire superficial knowledge, and only after that should you declare yourself a guru who is ready to teach everyone.

It's understandable because of the signature campaign that pays people to post on this forum, but it's a wrong mindset in a hurry to get more merits to rank so you can join in a signature campaign, its a good motivation but if you just post for the sake of posting and going in a flow of discussion is not your interest you will be exposed as a spammer I have seen so many posts that are redundant, they just read other people's post and just rephrase it to make it appear unique.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Or we could just enjoy and relax while we are learning here. Some people make it so serious to be here, that even the concept of patience have been forgotten. Most newbies questions nowadays are about getting into higher rank and merits, since they are excited or curious what does it feel like to be on these levels. Lets just instinct take over, the moment we let it flow naturally they could even sense potential merits along the way without even realizing thay they improving slowly.

For some, the forum is much more than a "forum", and then we shouldn't be surprised that they have a slightly different way of thinking. Maybe it's just a matter of wanting to advance in the ranks, which have now become more difficult to reach than before, although I don't understand if the OP is talking about his personal success that he achieved with the help of this forum.

Few follow the line of greater resistance, and most go towards bounty campaigns or think that by plagiarizing/paraphrasing they will succeed in deceiving someone that they are something they are not. To some extent, I can understand that some members, even though they are beginners themselves, want to help others, although sometimes they exaggerate in this - or what is even worse, they give not only wrong but also very risky advice.

Of course, the golden rule is that you should not believe in anything blindly, but that you should look at most things critically - because even if five people claim that something is true, who is to say that a sixth person will not appear and prove that they are wrong?

Having relocated to a new place because of work or joined the Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency community because of money, it takes courage to do both and succeed where others fail.

Everything about life is with determination, you choose what you want and work towards getting it done, everyone here was once a newbie and we learn and grow each day, but don't let money be your first priority, work on yourself first and give to the community before you can start expecting back from the community with time, if opportunities comes.

I had to relive life as if I was born a new. On the contrary, one common trait that seemed to bother most, as I have come to see, is that of trying to fix everything.

Try to fix everything and end up damaging the whole thing and disappointing yourself, thesame thing happens when you're trying to please everyone, you may end up displeasing everyone, what i will advise is for you to put in your efforts and do the best and leave the rest, your little significant impact will always be remembered.

There's no how you can be smarter than the experienced members here, they have also passed through those stages and know how to identify one if trying to phish for merit, you merit base on how you're touched by someone post and not by sweet mouth or attempts to phish for merits.

I have also realized that it is always better to let things flow, in the sense that one just overlooks the problem and firstly seeks peace of mind and ordered reasoning.

People always make use of that statement and sometimes I don't feel okay with it, but it all depends on the situation at hand, being calm and letting things flow do not improve things sometimes, rather it makes thing slow and sometimes you won't be able to achieve that thing, so you have to work on it. Being calm and just be watching things flow is hardly going to make you climb that higher place you are aiming at. so, forget about being calm to let things flow and make move that will make the things flow.

No matter about some people motivation to get many merit points and get rank up for participating in signature campaign due not break rule and keep on the line with highest post qualities. Spammer post based on individual values and not all people will viewed with some user post as spammer based on their opinion in writing.

Keep having unique post and always present with new ideas how to get highest qualities post in Bitcointalk forum, I think some one coming from blogger or content writer have easy how to get good post qualities and seems not problem reaching account to higher level.

That's a very vital advise you just gave above, because the issue about Newbie advising other Newbie on how to get merits or how to behave on the forum has become like a norm to me, and each day we see more threads like this, which is one thing that can never be stopped. But I have come to notice that on this forum there are two sets of people, (I.e those who come here with the mindset to only make money) who always goes about looking for shortcut to earning merits and (those who come here to learn more about Bitcoin and it's ecosystem) who are always patient and end up ripping the fruit of their labour.

But on the contrary, I agree with O.P that it's more advisable newbies first learn to understand how the forum works before going after merit, as you will get to learn a lot from the forum

[Oceat]

We all know why they were desperate to rank up despite of the things we always tell/advice to them and it's a one thing that will determine who's just here to shitpost or to join signature campaign. This is the reason why merit has been created to stop these kind of people.

Anyway, if they aren't here for what I've said, then taking time to pass by and let all things sort on their own if it's beyond of your grasp. There are things that we cannot control especially the time so instead of worrying about on how to get this and that why don't we just enjoy the journey till we get there?

[DaNNy001]

For me i think the whole issue on patience and impatience is basically the fact that all humans either portraits one of the two in their lifestyle. Its quite clear that Many users came to the forum to earn a living through participating in signature campaign which many have achieved but the feat in which this was acheived is also based on the same perseverance and patience that these users exercised by patiently learning and improving themselves on the different areas of the forum because in order for one to be successful you must be hard working and learn to patient because there's no short cut to it. I think these popular saying has always live up to their meanings
~ patience is a virtue
~the patient dog eat the fatest bone
~slow and steady wins the race
So if there is any newbie who feel there is constant need to grow up so fast by posting countless gibrish in order to attain merits and rank up fast, i think you would probably get stuck in one spot for maybe a gazillion years to come .so my advice to everyone is you just do well to learn patiently and always remember you can't offer what you don't have upstairs so you need to read and learn and simply follow all the instructions and guidance on the forum and you would be a step closer in acheive your purposed goal.

Also im giving a welcome all of those newbies era in this time and we are looking forward with your contributions and contents in the community recently some of the newbie here came across because they want to learn things related to the bitcoin and upon exploring I guess some of them want to earn at the same time that's why they chase too much with the rank system which is really takes a lot of time to get into that but but there's nothing impossible if you are a newbie came across the community with have a lot of contributions for sure the merit will follows. Better invest in knowledge and set a goal. Ranking system is not a race.

[Frankolala]

believe naturally is a gradual process and for you to be successful in life,you must be patients in whatever goal you want to achieve, all you need to do is to stay focus and add effort to make your dream come true. Don't put bounty campaigns or signature campaign first,if not you will lose focus on the purpose of creating this forum which is to educate people about bitcoin.

The same way it applies here in the forum, as a newbie, you don't rush to rank up. Read more about the rules and regulations  in the forum and don't be eager to be merited. Your contributions with time will be noticed by forum members if you are learning or not due to your response on topics and on the thread created by you. Patience and hardwork is the only key here for you to rank up.
