Honorable person, nice choice of words.

Actually, you just have to be active in the forum and make some good post so you will earn more merits that would help you rank up.

Thank you. That's exactly what I meant.

In history non legend was made in 2years, then we are living in an online society where everything happens faster dude..... so get used to legend being legends faster .... Kiss

Hehe, that was funny indeed. And I understood your point of view.

If you think ranking up is too easy now, just prove it yourself first! Once you have already become legendary in a short time, then you can come back here to suggest changing the merit system.

For now, I think you are better to focus on improving your account, buddy. Look!! We registered in the same year, in the same month, but unfortunately still a Full member till now.

By that logic you should become Legendary any moment now. Early congrats !

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's motivating OP to write what he did. I find it hard to believe that he actually wants to make it harder to rank up when it still taking him a long time to do so. It's way too early in the year for an April fools joke.

For Chlotilde, The Pharmacist and Rengga Jati: I registered in late 2017 but I was inactive until October-November 2019. All my merits were earned since October 2019 and January 2020. 200 merits in 3 months didn't mean too much effort for me. I just behaved normally and wrote my thoughts here. Apparently they were appreciated. So I was a Newbie 3 months ago and now I am a Full Member, close to Senior.

All in all, I would not enhance the difficulty in ranks per-se, but rather, if at all, device knowledge related features that can build-up a virtual CV (i.e. undertaking courses on such and such aspect of BTC).

Thank you DdmrDdmr for sharing your opinion, it is very precious to me. Your suggestion is great!

If you really think that ranking system is very easy to attain. Why not you request to theymos to X2 your required merit to rank up so that you will find it more challenging.

To be honest, I would. But I'm sure he won't accept as he doesn't want any discrepancies inside the forum. Another reason for which I would accept is because I don't care that much about the rank. I am just a normal user and a honorable person. I behave here pure normally. I express opinions and sometimes they are good, sometimes they are not good. I don't cheat the system, I don't scam, I don't spam. And I promote crypto-anarchism, the cypherpunks, free speech and liberty for people.

However, if theymos reads this, he can double my barriers in ranking up. I accept this challenge

Honesty and being a honorable person helps everyone in the society and also inside this forum. If you are not focused on merits and ranking up, if you are focused just on expressing constructive ideas, on helping others and on bringing a plus (generally speaking), on the long term, all these will help you way more than if you are oriented on fast rank-ups, on greed, on earning more and more money. Although you could disagree, life makes a difference between those with good intentions and those with bad intentions. Maybe not fast, but in time the difference is made.

Maybe you are on a momentum gaining merits after merits from the topics and posts that you are making but don't take them lightly.

If you haven't noticed it yet, there are plenty of users here posting how close they are to ranking up or how happy they are reaching a new rank. Some are good but most of them are clearly crying for merits.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to achieve here @OP. Maybe you also want merits for this post, maybe not.

I never posted any "motivational" about how I ranked up, nor I will (at lest in the close future, as ranking up to Full Member is way too easy). Besides, I never even make a subtle approach about earning merits, nor I will. You can check absolutely all my topics / posts here. I understand is quite unusual what I wrote in this thread and I understand is also unusual to see someone acting normally in a world full os scams / spams / greed and so on. But I am 100% honest.
