Hi everyone, I have been on the forum for quite some time now, despite the fact that I have shown growth, because I believe I have grown in knowledge of BTC/cryptocurrencies, trading strategies, saving strategy, gambling strategy and the likes, it still beats my imagination that my post or comments fail to attract merit rewards.

I would like to believe I have made a consistent and persistent contribution to have gotten to the full member position, but I want to know why it is difficult to gain merits as it is looks like am stuck or on ignored or blacklisted.

Can someone please help me know how I determine if my account is on ignored list, or blacklist?

How do I proceed with such a delimma?

There could be many reasons why your posts fail to attract merit rewards. Manybe you are posting in such Boards where merit sources rarely visit or you may not create attention properly in the forum. Also having about cryptocurrency, trading strategy and gambling startegy isn't all you need to have, you should have deep knowledge in most of the sectors and have a good presentation, helping nature and communication skills among the forum members.

There is no way to know who marked you in ignore list or blacklist until he share with you or publicly. As far I know some shit posters, spammers oftenly get ignored but not by all.

I find it disappointing to hear a full member whine about the qualities of his posts. I just looked at your profile and found that the majority of your postings are not merit-worthy. instead, it's important to consider how readers will interpret your message and its potential value to them. Although some of your contributions are discussion posts that don't really contribute much to the forum, I don't want to criticise your efforts. You should be aware that you attained full member status because other users thought your contributions were deserving. If you believe that you aren't receiving any more merits, you may want to consider improving your postings or, better yet, you can report any unmerited posts to the merit sources.

Not everyone on the forum ignored you so don’t worry about people who ignored or blacklisted you,  just keep working hard and improve your posts quality and the merits will surely locate you. Let the people who blacklist you be the ones missing out on your posts.

Some managers have lists of violators or spammers that they blacklist. In the same way, actmyname has a blacklist; it adds neutral tags to accounts that, in its opinion, do not write high-quality posts.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4440941.0
If you do not see such a tag and can participate in subscription companies, then you should not worry. As for ignoring, here you can’t influence people’s opinions in any way. Someone may like your posts, and someone, for some reason, could add you to ignore.
But since you see that many people come into communication with you, again, there is nothing to worry about.

Just like other members said, you can’t just outrightly be able to know that you are on ignore list except they publish it here or they tell it to you.

The lack of merit doesn’t mean you are on ignore, there are members who you might have caught their attention and they feel your post are lacking quality so they just go past it. Also the lack of merit is most influenced by the kind of post and boards you engage on, and currently I have looked into your history and I would say it is that reason why you are not getting them. Most of your posts are on boards that some merit sources considers spamming and area, and none of them are actually sharing knowledge or problem solving, rather i saw lots of posts based on reporting news and this isn’t seeing as a quality post. Quality posts are when you help some one or the community out of a problem and not necessarily creating threads.

If you feel to much concerned that your post are merit worthy then you can ask certain prominent members like Sceptical Chymist, for review, or better still there are threads you can post on as suggested by Jawhead99, three members have such thread (LoyceV, Ratimov, Filippone) and this could be Abel to solve your problem

No matter how much you think that you are making quality posts, others have different points of view.  You shouldn't put yourself in a dilemma thinking you are being ignored or blacklisted, instead think of a way to get through to the readers and make them give you merit.  After all, merit is subjective.  Don't get tired of thinking of ways of contributing to the forum.  Merit will come your way as long as readers see your post worth meriting.  You can check top merited posts and get an idea from them.

Certainly, the quality of posts and putting someone on the ignore list are related. If you spam or write useless bullshit, there is a high probability that you will end up on the ignore list of many users. So, don't spam and you will not be ignored, merit will come as a consequence.

I think that the ignore option is mostly used by older members, probably because they are tired of reading nonsense. Also, they have the most merit to give.

It's unfortunate how majority of us here prioritize getting merit more than offering help and solutions to issues raised without expecting anything in return. It's normal to get disappointed when you hope high on something but it comes to you when you don't expect it. You're on full member rank which is a prove that you're growing as you confirmed. I wonder why you are still complaining about getting merit.

Do not be your own judge. Let others assess your post to determine how quality they are and I am sure that it will be merited if they're worthy to because no one can eat sMERIT. For you to attain your current rank obviously shows that your contribution and determination is yielding already and should keep on trying harder. This sort of complain should actually be coming from newbies and not someone like tbh.

I do hope managers will soon focus on post quality rather than the rank some days when launching campaigns. With that, I think the issue of merit this and that will come to an end.

It's either they tell you that you are in his ignored list or not. There's no telling who ignore you and also you are not blacklisted. Each forum member have their own criteria on how they reward their smerit and maybe you are posting in mega threads that's why no one send you merits even though you said that your posts are good enough for merits. Anyway, this have been discussed not long ago and you can find it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5435883.0. Better post in boards that doesn't have many mega threads.

1. Won't buy Bitcoin through the dark web.

2. Buy Bitcoin from exchanges, since we can't instantly tell who stole his Bitcoin to sell to other

3. Don't steal from people, some are smarter and they can monitor your address for years, you will one day be caught, everyone always leave footprint on the web most times, there must be one time you passed KYC before, that could be what will give your identity away.

4. Don't bother trying to know if an address is blacklisted, people who do things wrongfully online or illegal in their lives are left to be worried about such type of question, ask yourself, are you a criminal? An bad hacker? Or a scammer? If you are not one of these do not worry.
