Topic: 50 Merits for bounty threads. - page 2. (Read 612 times)
Nice to see you coming out first before it gets more complicated and lead to a merit abuse accusation. I don't know if notthematrix did this deliberately or not but looking at his merit history in his BPIP record it's his first time to ever send a merit and all of that 125 merits the account has sent it was all given to Bounty threads. Let's see we might be dealing with a hack account here from a user as I don't see any reason why a member who has not sent merits in his stay would waste it to bounty threads not unless he intentionally wants to waste it all.
Imagine if Theymos decide to rollback all ranks counting only the earned merit so far, should be fun.
It would be insane. Because, a legendary is contributing to the forum far longer than the merit system exists. It is very much possible that a hell lot of posts created by him/her in past were worth of merit, but it were not awarded any. Now, if only the earned merit is considered, it'll be highly unjust to the old posters.For example, there was no merit system in 2014. But, if this thread was created today, it probably would have received some merit. This is how many of our old threads are merit less, because they were created way before the merit system.
I see this Merit delivery between accounts 1, 2 and 3, there is an element of Intentional Form.
In this case someone does something intentionally, I can conclude, there are negative and positive things, (@notthematrix) want to show and to achieve a goal.
If I see, in this case it is a form of deliberate intention, action (@notthematrix) is expected to cause something. If not, then he won't do it. He wants.
For example:
1. Deliberately conscious of certainty.
2. Deliberately ejects.
In this case, the factor that connects you and who sent Merit, behavior with cause (quality) where:
1. the result of what is intended (@notthematrix). This can be a special offense or not.
2. You don't chill but it is a place for you, the result of this must arise or occur.
In this case the theory arises again.
1. Intentional theories
2. Will theory
Meaning: in this case I think the consequences will arise; that is to say, you can't avoid it, you can only imagine it. This theory focuses on what is known or imagined by (@notthematrix), what will happen when he will do it.

Even though we don't know the main reason why that guy sent you merits, it's still a relief to know that those 50 Merits (25 sMerits) has been handed in good hands. Members like that guy (who gave you merits) are those members who still don't find the importance of Merits since they already reached the maximum rank. You better find good posters and distribute your sMerits than to let it burn someday.

Just in case no one loves you, I love you 3000.
Any thoughts as to why this guy gives out this much amount of merit?
It might be the buyer or his/her alts are registered to the above bounty campaigns. BTW, Merits has basically no use to me.
You might not need them, but, it has a purpose why it was given to you and there are many good members in the community who needs merit. Since it is now in your hands, hope you can use them to our local board for merit circulation. Imagine if Theymos decide to rollback all ranks counting only the earned merit so far, should be fun.

It would certainly be interesting to see. I've argued against it in the past, and I am still in two minds about the whole thing. On one hand, there are plenty of shitposters at all ranks, including legendary, who would never reach their current rank (or indeed even rank up above newbie) since the advent of the merit system. But on the other hand, retroactively demoting people based on a new system seems a bit too much like ex post facto to me. Maybe a good April Fool's joke for tomorrow?I think a nicer solution would be to change the requirements for displaying a signature to 1 (or preferably 10) earned merit, rather than total merit. That way people aren't getting demoted, but the shitposters still lose their raison d'etre.
As to OP's question, I always assumed users gave bounty/signature managers absurd amounts of merit as a way of trying to buy their favour or improve their changes of being accepted to the current or future campaigns.
If he/she does this for that very reason, I doubt that'll happen. Seeing as all of his/her posts are just 1 liner
He/she is lucky to have ranked to Legendary rank way before the merit system were introduced and implemented.
BTW, I have already sent private message to the person involved. Still waiting for his/her response tho.

To get legendary rank now requires a Legendary mission, auser shitposter with his post history now with the merit system can't rank up

all airdrop smerit should be burned
I can see where you are coming from, but I really don't think it's necessary. You can see from suchmoon's thread that we are destroying around 4 times as many merits as we are distributing, even including all the airdropped merits that are being used. Similarly, as time goes on, airdropped merit becomes an ever smaller percentage of total merits, and merit sources effectively become the only source of merit.As to OP's question, I always assumed users gave bounty/signature managers absurd amounts of merit as a way of trying to buy their favour or improve their changes of being accepted to the current or future campaigns.

Maybe theymos will now consider what we have been saying all this while, all airdrop smerit should be burned, majority of merit abuse involving large number of merits is coming from this guys that received those free airdropped smerit. The issue of bounty managers receiving huge sum of smerits on announcement thread or worthless posts is becoming too much. Could be, merit traders have found a new way to fool the forum.
I was recently informed (through telegram) by one my telegram follower that I have received 50 merits
I immediately checked and behold, there it is, 50 merits for a bounty thread that I started and managed.
I checked the person who gave me those merits and it seems he has also gave 50/25 merits on another bounty threads.

The weird thing about this is I have no record of this guy being on that particular bounty campaign. (see spreadsheet here
Any thoughts as to why this guy gives out this much amount of merit?
One member of my telegram group said it could be a hacked account. (Tho, I don't know how to prove that)
BTW, Merits has basically no use to me.
Check my profile, I don't even sign-up for signature/bounty campaigns anymore. I rarely even post.
