What many of us newbies are getting wrong about merit

[AYOBA]

Sometimes, it's not good how some novices even respond in this topic. Some people will just go ahead and create a topic about merit; they are unaware that they are too quick to be shadowed by their own shadow. The reason for this is that, rather than exploring the forum further to learn how to obtain merit without dropping a thread suggesting that someone assist you with merit, some people are relaying that if they drop a thread suggesting that someone assist you with merit, they believe that everyone will just be given like.They are unaware that the quality of the post is what will determines the merit you can receive.

👉 I would love to acknowledge the fact that different persons on this forum have different perspectives and interests and would react to different comments and thread differently.
 So I would give a very general answer to this question.

The people on the forum have different reactions inside their brains that rarely match each other. Accordingly, if you want to create a thread, share your thoughts and reactions there. And it has to admit that you will pick up the reactions that are inside you and build that thread based on your knowledge in different ways. And it's common for people who post their great thoughts and feedback to gain merit in this forum.

Newbies need to take caution about advising newbies. Other high ranking members will not take you seriously.
Even if you know more than maybe as a result of experience, you should do more reading and less of creating of lengthy threads.

This is not me trying to claim as tho I know anything much, besides Im still a newbie like some of us here and I think I'm not to small or too early to give forum advice if I have something good to say.

Well, you might not be too small or too early to give forum advice but only if you have found something that no one else has said or discussed already. There is no point in writing points or discussing something that has been discussed thousands of times already. Whether it's an attempt to earn some Merit or not, it's a repetitive thread nonetheless.

And, a post doesn't always have to be of extreme quality to get Merit from a user, I may Merit a post that I find useful or I might do it if I find it funny based on the situation or the nature of the response matches what I may have in my mind as well which means that the user has written what I would have written if the user didn't do it already.

I'm not a new member, I've been on this forum for quite some time now even though in active.

OP, which words of yours do you want us to believe or accept as ''you being a newbie or not being a newbie"? In your post, you said that you are a newbie and here you are saying that you are not a newbie in the forum.

This is not me trying to claim as tho I know anything much, besides Im still a newbie like some of us here and I think I'm not to small or too early to give forum advice if I have something good to say. Since I'm also a newbie I think that one of our major challenge is to earn merit.

OP, you can't leave your account stagnant for some time without getting involved in the forum and expecting it to grow by itself without earning merits.

Merits are not the main focus of the forum, but it is used to serve or judge the level of someone's involvement in the questions and answers made in the forum. However, try and get more involved in the forum than leaving your account inactive for months without making posts.

Focusing too much on earning merits can distract from the real purpose of the forum, which is learning and sharing valuable insights about crypto. Quality contributions come from a deep understanding and genuine interest in the subject. it's about adding value to the community, not just accumulating merits. Keep asking questions, do your own research, and be objective/skeptical. Your growth and meaningful contributions will naturally lead to earning merits.

This is true, but getting merit is self-satisfaction. There is more pride in opinions, opinions, written evidence. This means that we get more rewards with Merit. Many people go to great lengths to get this. This means that there is a relationship between the purpose of the forum and merit. With good discussion quality, it will make the forum more qualified. Because there are already clear rules, so it will not damage the forum if they pursue merit with discussions according to the forum rules. Because this forum does regulate and facilitate this. CMIIW

Since he already managed to earn 6 merits, I would say that he is doing a  good job getting people fooled.

On this particular thread, he did not get merit only on other posts and he deserves those merits, I stopped giving to newbies who create threads specifically for newbies how to get merits, the one who deserves to create that kind of thread are members who can generate 50 or more merits every week and which pass the newbie rank, I frowned on newbies who has the nerve to do this, rank up first then when you can organically get merits, then teach us how you do it.

To be honest, I don't see much difference between those posts he got merit and this one as its the same old type of advice topics we saw countless times before. Sometimes it works, sometimes don't.

Situation in that regard is much better than it was year ior two ago when these kind of topics were getting way too miuch merit. I guess people finally learned to recognzie merit fishing, or at least majorify of them while some probably don't even care and just give few merits.
