Why people trying to make the already complicated system even more difficult? People struggling to get merits, it will take the average Joe couple years to reach from Member to Full Member. Then he has right to rest then, he already made enough contribution, don't you think? And ones who are Legendary by now, they contributed well to make this forum a great place. For me, I want to get Full member status and will be quite satisfied with it. But with so many dudes trying to be smart and obviously hoping to get merits for their smartness, my dream could never be fulfilled.

I think it can happen if you fix your grammar and learn to articulate your posts better.

If you can't, then post in the local board and be active there in your own language. You can then apply to be a merit source for your local board if you show that you're a true leader there and one who likes to contribute and help with your fellow same-language speakers.

The merit system is not here to reward people who are smart. The merit system is here to weed out spammers from people who are truly trying to be a good part of this community.

If you post a lot in your local language board, and you can show proof to Theymos that you're trying to be a valuable member of bitcointalk, then he will grant you a merit source.

My ideas for getting you started there:

1. When you find valuable BTC/altcoin news that you think your fellow countrymen should know, then just translate the news IN YOUR OWN WORDS and create a thread to let them know.

2. Look for people asking for help in your local board. Try your best to help them with your knowledge of crypto.

3. Get people involved. Start contests and fun threads in your own language to get everyone to be happy to be here. Like: "Post a fun fact about bitcoin!" And have people post what they know about bitcoin. The person who posts the most meaningful facts get a merit (i know you have extra merits Wink

).

The point is to be a valuable leader of your local board

.

Or.

You can really just improve your English and post better... Then the merits will flow <3
