^Check my post history. I barely make "long" responses, but I still maintain a decent activity:merit ratio (though definitely not as good as BlackHatCoiner, NotATether, o_e_l_e_o, etc Roll Eyes

).

Yeah have seen that you barely make long responses and it's completely fine because when you post it's upto the mark and relevant which we term good post and length is not a determent factor for merits which we can clearly see from your post and 3k merit is not a joke.

Those who have technical knowledge and post in those boards definitely earn more merits according to their contributions to the forum and guiding members with lot of technical stuff.

suggest you check out the posts of members who've earned a lot of merits--in particular, lower-ranked ones, because if you absolutely have to have a model to go by, those are the members to use.

There have been many members such as @n0nce who has shown if you have knowledge and post without merit phising attempts you will soon see the results.He has managed to gain so many merits and still a senior rank member but he is very good at technical bitcoin part but you can always see some low rank members who are earning good amount of merits and check how they are posting on the forum.

If you post in sections where the shitposters are, it's not likely you're going to earn merits.

That's the main part as merit sources don't visit these boards also and it's very rare you will find some good posts while all other are spamming up the whole board with shitcoins promotion and writing useless stuff without any knowledge.So it's better to gain knowledge first and post in other boards and your post if are worthy of merits you will gain them.

I've written down some basic criteria for our (German) local board (pro and con) and translated it recently here:

Good points discussed in the thread and clearly states how you can earn merits and what types of post can help you gain them like if you are creating a thread or replying to some posts.Also mention the board in which they should start a giveaway thread as newbies could land in problem if they open up such giveaway threads in some other boards.

They can read the points and then work on them but knowledge is must which will help you in creating useful threads, replying to the @OP in relevant manner and help others.
