A lot of recent as well as previous ranked member has zero knowledge on bitcoin. It's annoying to see people with zero knowledge on bitcoin is also growing up to the next rank, even with the new rank system "merit". What will be your answer if someone newbie ask you for technical support but you can't assist him because you don't know even though you are a Hero/ Legendary member?
You don't have to be a bitcoin genius to advance in the forum and that's a good thing. The forum only demand the ability to post quality threads.
Yes, this is very good indeed.
Many people here rank up just by posting trading strategies and sharing their desperation in WO thread, for example. Other user rank up with statistics, others rank up with jokes, others rank up by posting news, commenting politics, and so on.
This forum is already much larger than just a bitcoin technical discussion. ANd this is good. There is room for everyone. Probably OP didn't find his "talent" here yet. How can you contribute here more effectively? Everyone can rank up here, you just need to find where do you fit best.
