Which one of this is important most?

[Razmirraz]

If the purpose of this topic is about merit, start posting something useful for other members, then you can easily get merit. Reputation will be formed by always consistently maintaining quality posts, no need to compare your posts with posts by members who rank higher than you. Let it be their business, do what you should do, then leave the things that are prohibited.

I have been thing of this thread for a while now and I have checked a little if there's any but I haven't seen any of it , so a beginning to ask if the post is not quality enough to be posted on this forum or if my research wasn't well searched.
The illustration of this topic is kinda common these days on the forum and the new comers (brawn new and newbies) I don't know if other top ranked users make such mistakes, some of these users post things thinking they can be merited but forgotten about there reputation on the forum, some of these users don't know that their reputation is more important than there ranked on the forum, so it keeps me wondering about merits and reputation which one of this is more important in the forum?.

I think merits gives reputation on the forum and a user with over three thousand (3000) merits should  be qualified to be called reputable because we all know it's  always not easy to rake in merits and it only takes a good and quality poster to comb in such amount of merits.
I wouldn't  have to say that merits  and reputation  compliments each other, but I will rather say that it take merit to earn any reputation  on the forum  and that is why a brand  new account or a very old account without merits irrespective  ofhow much good and nice post tye account has, without merit, its not classified  as reputable or seem to have any value.

Merits gives room or paves way for reputation in the forum.

The forum has merit requirements that make it rank up higher rank of course already built a reputation in the community. People with higher number of merits for example is the members who have the 2k merits above already shows on the merit they have they contribute a lot of content that help the community by that they can get a good reputation. But of course sometimes it happens that you have a low merit but you gain a lot of reputation through the services you are giving, reputation will gain trust of the people.

so it keeps me wondering about merits and reputation which one of this is more important in the forum?.

Both are important but the higher your merits the likelihood that your reputation would be stronger. If you have more merits it means that you are an active member on the forum, it means that you are knowledgeable about the subject matter of bitcoin and its ecosystem. It makes other users on the forum have some sort of respect and regard for you and whatever you have to comment on a topic. My conclusion is that merit is important while reputation which is also important flows naturally from it.

Having both merit and reputation is essential, and one of the core principles of the forum revolves around merit. Merit serves as a stepping stone for progress, as it determines your rank achievement. Without a rank, even a simple task like posting a regular picture to demonstrate something becomes inaccessible by default, earning merit holds great value, but if you aspire to succeed in the forum, you must maintain integrity. You need to establish a path that speaks for itself, even in your absence, the forum members should be able to defend and vouch for you; You need a reputation to engage in forum trades or seek a loan, however, to achieve that, you must have a source of income, which can only be earned by acquiring merit and participating in a signature campaign. The two aspects are interconnected and mutually supportive.

Uhmmm...I'm gonna quantify it real quick so you'd understand exactly the comparison you've made ... One is a NECESSITY, the other is a CATALYST.
I hope you understood what I meant by those two words?... You cannot strive in here with a bad reputation - mostly when it's a fraudulent or fishy one... That could likely get your account some few more red tags than expected, which invariably makes the account useless. Merit is a catalyst cus it ignites and guarantees your growth in here - that's if you're really keen about growing! Cus alot don't care and haven't got a hundred merit since the day of registration which could be maybe since -2015? Even more... Seen someone without any merit but with 1k post and activities....isn't that hilarious?

When look at this illustration and points made you will see that bitcointalk newbies are not after reputation and what they are after is to earn a merit and rank up so that they will start earning in bitcointalk, why people that has be ranked up is much interested in earning merit and what they are interested is to make sure that their reputation is visible. Some times some people who is interested in merit will not like to engage in conversation but they only concentrate in creating new threads, why people that is looking for good reputation is answerable to any question and conversations

I was unable to understand some parts of your post after I must have read the advice that was given to you. I understand that not everyone speaks English as their first language, but at the very least, try to write and explain things so that others can easily understand them and add their thoughts and information to your post. Downloading the Grammarly keypad from the Playstore will allow you to fix and correct your mistakes grammar.

Having said all of that, maintaining relevance in the forum necessitates reputation as well as merits for each user. If a forum participant has merits but no reputation, everything about him in the community is ruined because no one can respect or trust him. He'll be seen as having moral character issues.

Because of this, you'll notice that many forum users uphold their principles to prevent harming the reputation they've worked so hard to establish on the forum.

[The Cryptovator]

Here, you have the opportunity to earn merits, but reputation cannot be earned directly. You must cultivate your own reputation. It's important to note that merits and reputation are distinct from each other. Simply earning merits does not automatically make you a reputable member. Many users on this platform have achieved legendary status by accumulating merits, yet they may not possess a strong reputation. On the other hand, some individuals may have earned fewer merits but are considered reputable. The key is not to post with the sole intention of gaining merits but rather to share your thoughts in your own unique style. It's advisable not to overly focus on criticism and instead concentrate on expressing yourself authentically.

Well, if you don’t create a good reputation in the forum, then most likely you will never receive any merit. Merits are earned not only because of your high quality post but also because you have been a great model in the forum especially if you have been showing positivity all over. So my choice is that reputation first before anything else. And the only thing that keeps you stay in the forum is having a good reputation, otherwise you’ll be banned permanently if you show rudeness to your co-active members.

Everyone has a different purpose for coming to this forum, so some are here to learn about Bitcoin and other altcoins in order to be successful investors, while some are here to create accounts and rank up the accounts in order to such just participate in signature campaigns to earn money. So many people that are here with the aim of participating in signature have their first aim to be earning merits and ranking up their account by any means, especially newbies. I see newbies with such an attitude, but I believe that they never understand much about the system, not knowing that they are the ones that need reputation the most. Let them know that it is a good reputation that can keep someone in the forum forever and the opportunity to continue earning merits.

Merits are a bonus, while reputation is who we are here, how do we maintain our reputation and also increase our reputation on the forum. The better the reputation, the better our contribution to this forum, shouldn't this be like that and this is a natural and normal thing? Meanwhile, merit is like a bonus, someone can give their merit to our posts because these posts are deemed worthy. but on the other hand, everyone's views and opinions regarding the awarding of merit may also differ.

merits and reputation which one of this is more important in the forum?.

Merit and reputation are not directly related to each other, but both are an important part of your online presence on this forum. Merits are like recognition for your positive contribution in discussions and sharing of quality information. You need them to rank your account, if that is important to you. Reputation, on the other hand, is about your trust. A good reputation means that other members trust you, or had positive experiences with you, be that as a trader or as a person. A bad reputation means that people are less likely to trust you and may be wary of dealing with you.

I agree with this that both merit and reputation are totally different but are important and should always compliment each other. While you need to get merits because that will increase your rank or position, building your  good reputation too is a must because that will determine if you can be a trusted and significant member, or just like anybody else who’s focus is for your selfish desires only. At least, you need to respect others so you can be respected, and you need to share quality information as that would mean helping other members in the forum. That way, you will gain good reputation and unlimited merits in less time.

I do think that it boils down on how a thread can be considered as "quality" in the standard of this forum. While I do understand that lots of newbies want to rank-up, not everyone can which begs the question on how a thread can be considered as quality.

Well for starters, it must be engaging enough in order to attract audiences. In addition, the thread must be of substance where it offers any insight from others; provide useful information across different channels of cryptocurrency-related news; or even a discussion.

If there is one thing that I have noticed, it is that a well-decent reply may garner a merit. For example, by simply observing the basic rules of sentence construction and a proper understanding of grammar, you can actually achieve a merit.

[BitcoinPanther]

so it keeps me wondering about merits and reputation which one of this is more important in the forum?.

This depends on how the owner of the account wanted to establish his account.  If he wanted to establish trust then it would be reputation that he should be building while if the person is wanting to rank up, then it should be the merit through quality post that he should be building.

If you will ask me between the two, I can say that reputation is way more important because if it is tarnished, all your hard works of building your merit will become a waste in just a red trust especially if you aim to join campaigns where the manager is very sensitive on the trust page of the applicant.

Both are actually very important if you want to be a significant member in the forum. Merit is highly needed because that will enable your account to rank up until you hit that legendary level. The higher your position will be, somehow people will look up to you as a highly important member because of your helpful posts in the forum. At the same time, having a good reputation is also very vital. You will never stay longer in the forum if you have no good reputation, and you will never gain respect and value from other people if your personal identity causes destruction to the rest of the members.

[nurilham]

-snip- so it keeps me wondering about merits and reputation which one of this is more important in the forum?.

Both reputation and merit are important, so you can't choose one of them only. The forum members won't respect you if you have bad reputation, people will see you negatively. It will harm you when you have a bad reputation, you won't have a chance to join any campaign here. You must be aware that the members with negative trust are always excluded from any signature campaign. Regarding merits, you will have no chance to grow your rank if you never earn merits. To grow your ranks, we need merits and activity. So, it is impossible to have high rank without merits.

[Sexylizzy2813]

The both of them work hand in hand. You need the merits to increase in ranks and at the same time, it's the reputation that gives more merits. Imagine offering your services here for instance and you haven't built a reputation here, you might not be given much attention.
Sometimes newbies are more invested in getting the merits but fail to create a platform for such to happen by thinking it's just a matter of being consistent, but not making quality posts because that can also build your reputation here. The way I see it reputation and merits go together like suit and tie.

I kinda think the both are really important in the forum as both kinda follow each other because in your journey of building a good reputation here in the forum your ratio of acquiring merits from reputation members will be a standing ground for you and probably what actually builds you a reputation, if you are good and you know what you are doing the reputation and merits befitting that reputation will come to you.

[Luzin]

Different, but your two posts are hard to tell apart for this forum. What I understand by reputation is people's view of other individuals. While achievement is a result achieved from his efforts. It may rise in the rankings because of useful posts, get the most Merit awards in one day and another.  In real life we might be able to see it more easily. Sometimes people have a good reputation but no achievements. But there are people who have good achievements will certainly change their reputation. So sometimes it doesn't become a dependency. If in this forum will continue to follow members who are in good standing, of course have good achievements. IMO
