Whether it's a joke or not I also confused what is the mean reason for these having a stat, well, let's see what will happen after this implementation by sir theymos.
Frankly speaking, those new rule system implemented did not absorb in my mind what is the purpose. lol
Hopefully, it brings us a fairly way of rank up system.

Posts and Activity was the only requirement for rank up-gradation. And few months ago Merit was introduced as a requirement. Now today I am surprised to see lot of stuff under my stats
I also surprised to see that under in my stats, and I don't have idea on what is the purpose of this.
The other said it's a joke because this day is the April fools, I'm gonna wait after this day if it's really joke.

I think if someone here makes a nice joke, they might be rewarded.

I logged in and was afraid, what does it mean. Nice joke, 1st april I forgot 
. ¨
This is not a joke and is real as confirmed by the admin. You better not laugh at his decisions or your politeness meter will go down. . ¨
I think I was little harsh on you so sorry (actually I do not want my politeness meter to go down as well). It would be interesting to see other members removing the harsh words they used in past posts to improve their polite score. But Merit is also good joke and could be removed after 1st April, haha
Of course, it will be removed. Wait for 1st April 2019. Why should members have all the fun on single day ?

I guess it is part of an April Fool's joke as there are no buttons to click to add those "FMerits", "Politeness", "Imagination" and the rest unlike the Merit system. I got to say that the joke got me as I was scrolling through some threads and I noticed a lot of new stuff under Activity and Merit, first thing I did was to visit the "Meta" section and find out there are no official announcement about the system. Also I take a quick look at my profile page and there was nothing new. I was shook at first but its all good now. Nicely done
I have checked the forum for an announcement too but could found nothing in Meta section besides this topic.
April fools but are you sure?
fMerit - how many times you said something bad about Merit system.
Coins - special coins issued by Bitcointalk (ICO soon)
Karma- you will get karma (+ or -) for bad or good behavior on the forum
Imagination - issued by moderators, no rules attached as for now
Politeness- never try to argue with staff or other people
This is how I think it is. Do you think that I am right?

I literally laughed out loud when I saw that "fMerit" word. Yeah newbies are gonna say "Fuck Merit" and that gives you fMerit point - did you people know that?
fMerits = [total sMerits + number of times you said "Fuck you merit system" ]*Your current rank
April fools to everyone out here reading this and thinking "whats wrong with me profile??"
fMerits = [total sMerits + number of times you said "Fuck you merit system" ]*Your current rank
April fools to everyone out here reading this and thinking "whats wrong with me profile??"
Why is this post earn merit? Where is justice for this? Lol

I'M SO CONFUSED WHETHER THIS IS A JOKE OR NOT
You will surely get enlightened tomorrow or some day within this week like what CntryBoy said. If this system is still here after a while, we will know that theymos is serious about it. I admit that I got freaked out when I have first logged in today and am surprised to see a lot of numbers on everybody's stats but thinking about what day it is today, it probably must be an april fools joke only.

I suppose we will all find out on April 2nd if it is a joke, if all the new ones disappear....
It is definitely interesting to speculate some of the meanings and calculations, either way!

Okay, it that April Fool's joke or is it something legit? I really hope that ranks won't be dependable only on Merit in terms of further progress. Is there an admin thread, where this is a bit more in-depth explained or ?

I see these new set of stats on my profile right now and that brought me to this thread. Can someone properly explain fMerits, karma and immagination, and how they count, please.
April 01, 2018, 02:52:42 AM
I was astonished also to see some "marks" under my name, and thinking it's April fool today only to find out it's true, and it's real, the next thing to do now is how does some of them works ...

Guys, I am beginning to think it wasn't the usally April fool day game because I saw some of Theymos reply to a post. He is serious about this.
Here, he confirmed it is real;
It actually is a real stat (counting instances of "thanks" etc. in posts). But he has a lot of posts.
Here he explained what the virtues are;
The seven virtues are chastity, temperence, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. Any true Bitcoiner will fully exemplify all seven virtues, of course.
And here, he explained how the imaginations, politeness coins are calculated;
Politeness, Imagination, and Coins were calculated based on all of your past posts, but they don't update real-time. fMerit, Virtue, and Karma do update roughly every 20 minutes. But only Staff, Donators, or VIPs will find themselves able to adjust their Virtue that quickly.
He is serious about this but most people aren't taking him serious because of the day he implemented it.
