Hi Guys,
I am now a member of bitcointalk.org since fall last year. And since then I have written some postings. One maybe more interesting, the other not so. Now I have slowly worked towards a reasonable status. And now - system merrit.
I am missing since last week 8 points for the full member status. Meanwhile, I have also brought these points easily.
But due to the merit system, I now need another 90 merit to reach the full member status. In my estimation, I will need about 2 years to get the community willing to donate to achieve this.
I think that's not fair. But shit happens.
Two years? How about forever? But why so atrociously desperate to be a Full Member? Guess we know why? Poor you, how will you feed your family members now?
I think the merit system is just and fair. Why are so unhappy, just like you said, shit happens, deal with it. It's because of people like you post shit which ultimately forced theymos to introduce the merit system. Thankfully, we can at least discuss something related to bitcoin just like those good old days.
Is it so unprehanceable ? Absolutely vicious? If someone wants to do just that, what others have achieved in a similar or worse way?
Or is it not rather condemnable from above to judge? And to say, I already have.
But everyone has their attitude towards things. I think I have also made one or two contributions to this forum here.
Probably not to the same extent as you. And above all, not as selfless, self-sacrificing and community-oriented as you.
