Getting Some Merit really boosted my motivation

[Mpamaegbu]

I gave you 5, but I stopped looking when I saw that enormous image that you posted.

It hurts the eyes. I wonder why they do it without resizing the frames. They could simply look at how those with smaller frames did theirs and learn from them. This issue is same with those who make posts in capital letters all through. Though this has been reduced drastically now unlike what it was in the past here.

I admit, yes, that I also felt the excitement of receiving merits before my legendary rank. What that meant to me was that some members already recognized me and were benefiting from my posts. I always went back to study any post I got as much as three merits on to identify what "sense" I made in there that warranted such merit. It's a good feeling OP, nothing to be ashamed of there. Every veteran here felt that way, I can assure you of that.

I feel this adrenaline rush when I'm merited. It's like I should flood the forum with posts, which can be quite cool to an extent but if care is not taken, it could cause me to start talking rubbish. but then, that's what excitement can cause, right? And the most fulfilling one is when you get merited by a prominent member of the forum, it makes me want to take my time and go through the post that was merited over and over again.

Well, I don't think getting meritted is difficult; it's just a matter of consistency and how educative and relevant your response is on the topic of discussion.

Thank you for sharing your personal story with us. However different uses and doors for room do not have the same way they feel whenever they receive merit. An example would be those people who are already working in the Bitcoin field and only come to those forum to promote their project the organisation or just two provide knowledge. This set of persons and not found posting in all the boards other than boards like technical discussion, mining etc did not even care about the merit system this is not to invalidate how you feel about getting merits. it is just me saying that not everyone is concerned about merits or no merits.

It actually does create this unique sense of reassurance and conformation on the fact that you're doing the right thing, and that the community has you in stock. It could prolly infer that your intellect has built way better, along side the forum's.
.. but that'll Normally be felt by low-ranking accounts as you mentioned. "The fact that you feel good whenever you're being given a wholesome wheat bread doesn't make you worthy of getting it every single time, or does it"?? You need to put in the work! One the contrary, many have been putting in Thier best efforts, but Thier best could possibly not be a warrant standard for the forum.

This may seem trivial to those who already rank high in the forums. but it really means a lot to beginners. Gaining Some Merits actually can revive dormant Motivation. But still I also realize that just motivation is not enough. but also must be accompanied by an increase in insight. with more diligent reading and so on.
Other beginners must also feel this way, right? I doubt if only I feel this pleasure.

If you have to qualify then you must work hard and hard work never fails. Getting your first qualification seems to be a special motivation for you and a great feeling is working within you. If you want to get more merit then you must work harder and you will get more merit. A person of high rank also feels elated when he achieves a merit. What you mean of course I got it when I first qualified I had the same feeling as you. However to increase your rank you must work hard, without hard work you can never expect anything. So you keep spending time in forum and doing some insightful analysis, you can qualify and change rank.

Well,I don't know if I can see this with you,whether getting merit is hard or not,but I think merit is a little bit hard to get in the forum,because it is what guarantees your forum rank,so if it wasn't  hard to get,most persons who are newbies would have grown to be senior members by now.Getting merit really requires extra work,and an extra ordinary post that will be so captivating and will make one have no choice but to give out merit.If merit was given out easily,I don't think most persons would have bothered themselves making quality posts.
The very first time I got merited after posting for a long period of time,I was so excited,but at thesame time,I knew it wasn't easy,until the merits started coming.

Absolutely! I completely understand your perspective. Gaining merits may seem insignificant to experienced forum members, but for beginners like us, it revitalizes our motivation. However, motivation alone is insufficient; we must actively enhance our knowledge through diligent reading and continuous learning. It's reassuring to know that other beginners share this sentiment too.

Anyone who is new in the forum always concentrate on earning merit instead of being concentrate on reading and making research of anything that is related to bitcoin, I don't know why some newbie are not ready to learn bitcoin instead they will be looking for wherever merit is being given to another forum member. For op information any newbie who focus on merit end up making pointless post thinking it's a quality post whereas it's not, when some one make research and come up with a good result merit will come the person's way instead of begging for me which the forum does not compromise that, before you earn merit you learn and understand how to make a quality posts that deserve merit, let all the new bitcointalk understand this point

it's not only you who feel "satisfaction" when you get a merit on your post, the majority of members here also feel that way (mostly for those who still have merit below 1000)

when I get merit on my posts, I'm a little challenged to keep working hard to improve the posts I produce, even so I don't force myself to do it, I'm more relaxed about it, in my opinion getting merit is something that doesn't need to be pursued too much. chase, enjoy the process more comfortable.

In the starting time when we get merits it really boost our confidence and motivate us to write more useful posts and it's like our efforts are being recognised by other members of the forum.So getting merits is like taking step towards your new rank till you get to legendary rank but still it makes you happy if you are not getting them too often.But it could be different for users who constantly get merits due to their quality posts.

[Andrija Branislav]

That's right, bro, one merit feels like a week. of course the quality of the post is also assessed. if in terms of delivery it is good, interesting, prominent and contains useful content, both in terms of explanation and supporting references, in my opinion someone will be very worthy because it is a form of recognition and appreciation for thoughts that are born from the intelligence of our brain, whoever of us here.

Merits do certainly give motivation to everyone here, regardless of its position. It just shows that your posts have been appreciated and have been benefited by other members. But never stops the learning. Make it a daily habit to understand and learn something new, so that you will continue to earn merits and you’ll be more reputable and valuable member in the forum.

Earning some merit won't be as hard as most newbie make it out to be - even if I'm currently having a hard time getting it myself. Newbie just need to make an effort to share their knowledge in meaningful discussions - it will encourage merit sources and other users to help you earn merit.

Basically the more you try to make constructive and useful posts - the more likely it will be for you to earn merit. Other user merited you with a some reason - it's not only because they find your post quality or constructive, but also because they want to help you rank up.
