How to get merit in this forum?

[Honyek]

l have been in this forum for sometime now and l have heard about the members getting merit for level upgrade, and something like how many merit someone got within 120 days. Considering my observation and what l have heard, it is a very vital requirement that is difficult to get. l want to ask about how someone can get merit, is it something that can be gotten through posting useful content, or is it something that can be gotten by chance or luck?

I think you are getting it wrong op, you earn merits not out of chance neither luck. Merits are earned when you make useful contributions to the forum. Don't worry about how much time it takes you to earn merits. Just do good things here on Bitcointalk like making posts in the boards where merits are possibly given, sharing your knowledge (without plagarising), and you'll definitely earn some merits. Many beginners have asked the same question in the past, but my answer remains the same.

earning merits isn't super easy, but it's not terribly hard either. If you focus on your contributions and don't obsess over merits, they will come unexpectedly.

I decided to give you one, to help motivate and encourage you into creating more quality post. With this you see that it isn't very hard just try. (I would have given earlier, but didn't have any s merits)

[Nwada001]

Be contributing to the forum, share things that are worth meriting, and stop asking questions like this on how to get merit.
Make quality posts, and you will see that merit will chase you, not you chasing merit.

If you have good post, someone with earned merit or a merit source can send you meirt. Every 2 merits you earned you will have 1 smerits which you can send to other people's posts.

To earn merit, you have to study this forum and people on this carefully and become like them.

The more you ask about merits, the more people on this forum will shy away from you. There are a huge number of opportunities to get that merit on this forum. Find an area that you are good at and write posts about it. And people will evaluate you if they want and if they like your posts.

Try skill.

Also try reading, as this has got to be like the 1000th time a thread has been created asking this exact question since the merit system began in 2018.  And then after you've gotten your answer, do the community a favor and lock your thread by clicking "lock thread" at the bottom left hand corner of the page, lest it become infested with shitposters trying to give answers when they've never earned a single merit in their time on the forum.

But yeah, skill at writing and/or writing things that are important; that's the basic formula for earning merits, and even then they don't come easily to most members.

 From your question, it now seems you are more interested in ranking up than anything else. Could this be your desire to join a campaign that is making you bothered or you are just generally concerned and feel your growt is slow here? Firstly, before you think of the side benefits like signature campaigns and all that, this is a space where information and ideas are shared so if you focus on getting merits alone, it'd push to keep creating threads that do not add content or value, rather it's only adding to your post count.
 When you make informative posts and being involved like @Nwada supplied, those merits will come in. Sometimes, you get merited for a post you least expected would fetch you one.
Another thing to note is that these merits are like rewards for a good job well done and since nothing good comes easy, you'd have to earn it.

You're too young on the forum to be looking for merits, I just went through your profile and it's just a one page post history and from what I can see you post haven't been productive to the forum. Let me ask you this question, do you feel any of your posts has been useful to the users that came across them. The answer is no and that's why you haven't been merited. Not trying to discourage you but how to get merits starts from the type of content that you're delivering. The more productive your posts get the higher the chances of your posts getting merited.

Since your time on the forum, haven't you seen a posts that was merited, if you haven't seen one then probably you're posting on the wrong section of the forum that's always full of spammers which meriters tend to avoid reviewing those sections of the he forum because it usually a waste of time. Merit is vital that's why it isn't cheap and easy to get and be less concerned about merits you have in the last 120 days because it's going to take you alot of months before that should be paid attention to (merit in last 120 days is only important when you're looking for a signature campaign to join).

I must tell you that the merit system has noting to do with someone's luck. If you contribute good information to the forum and at the same time members find your contribution worthy then they will appreciate that posts of yours with merits. The merits can be earned by those members only who actively contribute in this forum and they don't really care much about merits when the create posts. If you create posts solely to earn merits then I must tell you that you won't get any merits because the merits are only for the posts that are helpful to the other members of the forum.

If you have enough knowledge about a certain aspect of a thing and you share your knowledge with other members in the forum of a thread or a reply to a current thread then you may get merited for sharing that information. You should go through the comments of other reputed members and you'll learn everything about the merit system. I recommend you to lock this thread because your question has been answered fully.

This part of your post already gives you the answer that you seek, although according to some merit is subjective  there’s no formula behind getting merits here in the forum but the main thing is that you just have to post things that are relevant to the discussion you’re partaking in.

Sometimes, you might make a post in which you feel it’s very constructive and it’s worth meriting but to others it might just be as shitty as others they have read previously while some other times when you come to the forum or check your notification bot to see if you’ve been mentioned you’ll notice that a post you never thought would give you merits turns out to haven provided you with more merits than the one you had hoped for. So as long as you’re not spamming and or trolling and you keep making constructive comments you’ll surely be noticed one day and the merits will starts to flow in, like I said earlier no formulas for it.

[Mr.right85]

Wow! On meta!! It’s just wow as to how (OP) chose meta for this out burst of newbie tradition.

I wouldn’t want to repeat on what’s been said by responses from previous users but, meta doesn’t fit for this sort of discussion at OP, beginners and help would be more accommodating and you could easily move it there with the bottom left corner of your screen where you could find move/lock.

If the purpose of the thread is archived which I think could be the case, move and lock or lock and let it slide. Otherwise, you could just try out some of the advices you’ve got but, I guess you still want to make your first merit and then tell us all about it and how it made you feel.

In between, try to blend with the forum.

Both if you ask me.

How much merit you receive is depending on the decision of the users (with sMerits) reading your posts, not you. So you need to make quality posts, initiate discussions and make meaningful comments in order to get their "attention" and earn your merits. This becomes easier if you have a local board too where you are active and there are merit sources in that local board.

Hence dont bother too much about merit but on your quality of posts. Merits will come on their own when you least expect them and dont let this dishearten your involvement in the forum.

[Poker Player]

To get merits in this forum it is important not to open repetitive threads asking questions that have been asked and answered a lot of times, and that you can easily find out at the click of a button, because otherwise you run the risk of ending up in the ignore lists of people who can give you merits.

I think you might as well ask the other related question that has been asked and answered on the forum a bunch of times, something like:

how earn btc from online???

[Sexylizzy2813]

When I first got into this Forum I struggled and sometimes I ask myself how can I make a quality post or something to draws attention? With time it became clear that I need to strife harder without holding back, and one thing is never to always expect merit on everything you say or post e.g you post good morning, how are you and you keep expecting merit, it doesn't work that way.
Your information must be of good standard.
And getting merit doesn't have to do with luck because I don't believe in luck. The only person responsible for you to get merit is you OP, everything is in your hands just make use of what you have.

[salad daging]

Maybe you think it's difficult because you are new to the forum so don't understand all of it, continue to provide informative posts if someone likes your post that's where you can get merit.

Merit system no luck this is not gambling, you are more working hard contributing to the forum then slowly you can get merit. All it takes is hard work not luck.

Another one I believe with another opinion here!

This is a forum where people come to learn mostly, and if you are sharing a content that has value and has the potential for someone to learn from, you will likely get merit from the person who is learning from you, or from someone who understands the importance of the content you have shared.

You can also be lucky and receive merits by chance, but that is in a case where a merit source in the board where you have posted, just decides to distribute merits randomly to forum users there, but it does not always happen.

The best way to get merits is to share useful contents.

No getting merits is not difficult unless you are not able to share some useful or valuable content here. For example, I am going to mention a thread here which I also recently found and once you will open any of the topics mentioned as in lists in that thread you will find the OP's of those topics have received a lot of merits even some got 100 or 200 and more too. Because they have shared valuable, real, and self-tested knowledge.

Which is not just useful but also increases the trust of other people or members on them. Let's say if you have the potential or have great knowledge in any micro field of the big field of Crypto then start writing about it and those who will like it might appreciate your efforts with merits but that's not for sure.

And you can rank easily and will be supported if you are active in your local board as I have seen a lot of local boards helping newbies to settle here even besides the merits you will learn a lot and earn a lot but you have to be eligible for that. And you can become eligible once you have the knowledge of experience. You can also earn by sharing useful content too which must not be as valuable as those in the threads.

This questions is already talked many years ago here in our community.honestly the best thing To in to earn merits is Stop asking about it all you need to so is to prove that you are worthy enough to be given in short you need to contribute by sharing your ideas and thoughts. Also Op you need to follow the rules and regulations in order to receive merits don't try to copy someone's work and claim it that your the owner it's prohibited.
