Hi. Im a newbie here. Could someone please tell me more about how to gain merits here. how many posts should I post to move faster up in the ranks? Is there a optimal way to post and where should I post? I enjoy this site because it is very informative with many experts online. How come it isnt more advertised on other social networks. Is there anyone here who has been on for moe than 1 year. If so could you please you please share with us your expereince . I would liek to know about the ups and downs of this site. So that I can leap frog some of the challenges.
The merit system was implemented only a few months back. After becoming Jr. Member you'll need merit points If you want to rank up any further.
If you want to get merits, you'll have to be helpful and hope that someone will read your post and merit you. What I have noticed is that people get more merits in Bitcoin-related sections (Including Beginners & help, Meta etc.) because in alt coin section, It's usually spammers who don't even read posts, so they can't tell whether your post was helpful or not.
