Well as you can see my activity is now 252 which is equivalent to Sr. Member. Since early january i'm excited to become sr member because high rank = high pay in bounty as we all know. But due to merit system is being implemented i dont know when will i be able to reach sr member, but im not against the merit system because i can see the potential of it in the future, to reduce account farmers and shitposters in our beloved forum. I just feel sad because my expectation to become sr member wont happen sooner. Just want to share my inner feelings. lol

This makes me think that you are greedy. No offence though.

But I do understand because it gets harder and harder to earn bitcoins nowadays.
And I do believe that payments keep people and users attach to the forum but some does it in a negative way.

Well, I find it not necessary to bring this up for people who's intention is for the development of the forum as well as bitcoin.
Suggesting that we should just be contented of what we are earning now and we will be still here in the future.

Got your opinion bro, im not that greedy it just that I expected so much that ill become a sr member but that expectation leads to disappointment. and about that why i am anticipating for high pay lately is because i really need some money to fund my thesis project in school.

Yup there are somepeople does it in a negative way, perfect example: shitposters, spammers, and especially account farmers.
but i know with this system it can lessen the one who pollutes this forum.

Oh bro!!I am able to understand your sorrows. Because,I was also expecting for my activity to increase so that my ranks up.Ranks up means high pays in bounties!!Well said.I loved your equation. But it's true.

I think merit system is a brilliant step.It can prevent unnecessary and shitposting.There are some people who does unexpected and such posts which are not related to the topic. They post on to increase their activity so that they can be ranked up and earn more and more bitcoin.You can tell this was injustice and we were lagging behind for them.But as the merit system comes,those persons cannot be ranked up so easily that they did before.They have to contribute to the forum and their posts cannot be worthless. If so,they won't be ranked up.

But for you,me and other like us have to suffer a little but I think if we can increase our post quality,we won't have to suffer anymore.... Wink

I already moved on bro, and it is time for us to be more productive and be more informative for others to learn for us like how we learn in the experts here in bitcointalk community.

just want to add something on my thread, I want to conclude something.

why i am sad in the past because i really expected to rank up since im so close to it and yet it didnt happened, expectation leads to disappointment. (But im okay now and back to normal)
-
why i am seeking to rank?
Because to be able to receive high pay for bounties to fund my school needs and thesis.

To everyone who shared thoughts in this thread thank you for your time and opinions it made me recover faster from disappointment.
