I am amazed you aren't one yet, hilariousetc

Nonetheless, I am also supporting your merit application. With the time you put into this forum each day I believe you do touch a lot of posts and could distribute merit very easy.

I've also applied here: vlad230's Merit source application - Romanian Local board, to be the first merit source for the Romanian local board, hopefully I can help out too.

You spelled "sauce" wrong.

Yes, this is the value I bring to this forum.

@hilariousetc says "I've completely run out of merit points", I looked his sent merit history and it seems he spent most of it in meta section. So, It's logical that merit hunters come closer to merit source. Why would they write posts in other forum section if most of merits earnings here.

Moths to a flame. Hilarious is far more likely to ban them than to give them any merits. Most other posters on this board are also very unlikely to share any merits with beggars. The last few days was an exception. Some are feeling sorry for demoted noobs and handing out a few pity merits but this all will pass in a few weeks.

Wow. I miss out 4 days, and theymos actually does something, Meta becomes worse than off-topic board, and a global mod's alt runs out of merits. Wow.

Aren't you a merit source in the main account?

Anybody want to explain me what the fuck is going on meta other than just garbage nonsense complaining? Just when I thought bitcointalk couldn't get any worse in terms of incessant bitching.

We are thinking about the same situation.

I'm not sure maybe LoyceV can help with statistics high-merit-source members/mostly-merited section.

I regularly trawl through the different sections. Even some of the local language sections. I'm sad to say but there is not much merit-able material that I come across in some of the sections that lack in the merit statistics.

You can come to Meta as a newbie to try to get merit but as many have found out that it often results in their post history being scrutinized for plagiarism, low quality posts or eligibility for the shitposter awards.

The statistics also show a slightly skewed result. By merit sources giving merit to senior members - many of who like posting in Meta - those senior members get sMerits to distribute. While it may seem like a lot of merits that are being given - it takes 100 Merits to go 4 ranks from newbie to Full Member and then 900 merits to go 3 ranks to Legendary.

What I always recommend to newbies that want to earn merit. Instead of aiming to get merit - aim to create great content. Spend some decent time researching a unique topic (check that others haven't already written extensively about it - or substantially improve on what they have written) that they are interested in and write a comprehensive article about it citing all your sources. Use spellcheck and invite others to comment (and edit out your mistakes based on those comments). You are better having one great article that you are really proud of than to have a 1000 mediocre posts.
Keep maintaining and improving the article. Soon you will get inspiration for more ideas. But keep maintaining your old content. (Unless it's relevance has expired)

I was actually thinking of applying to be a merit source. Are there applications (whitecollar kinds) involved in being a merit source. Because each time I go through bitcointalk, I do see a few posts that deserve merits and they are typically ignored. My thoughts are:

1. Maybe these posts were intentionally ignored.
2. Maybe it will take too long for higher ranks and merit sources to located them - by then, they are buried in the stacks.
3. Maybe the merit sources have some beef with some of the posters - I really don't get, I see some OPs get 25, 30 and even as high as 50 posts... don't ask me what it was. It's unscrupulous (men I always wanted to use that).
4. The posters are outside the circles of the merit sources. Sadly this is more likely to be true; people meriting acquaintances.

Well, the rat-race to acquiring merits just got strenuous and the entry bars into the most reliable information source/community (use to be anyway) for crypto-related discussions are now high.

My advice, there should be an application form, (don't know if one already exists), where people will be tested to see that they will use the merits with discretion and utmost purity of morality.

how newbes can get meritts here,,,we see a good post making almost day by day but none get meritted,,,i think meritt systim is not fair to us when we give much hardwork and not get uprank to higher member)))

On a related note, I think all threads bitching about the new change should get consolidated into this one--or deleted.

This will die down eventually, much as it did back in January, but it is damn annoying right now with all the merit-begging attempts by noobs who've never seen fit to ever post in Meta with suggestions before. I'm not giving a single merit to any one of them, not even for a clever gif that makes me laugh.

I also agree with this idea, I know that all management's work is better for this forum but be aware that there are many spammers in the system and that contributing is a good part of The natural law for this forum to be better so changing the law is also a good thing for everyone thanks to this forum for giving me more knowledge about bitcoin money as well as other currencies

This is all theymos's fault, with his ridiculous 50 merits per user per month limit. As I have been unable to award you with nearly as many merits as you deserve, I have instead awarded you the Vulpine Order of Merit while keeping records of your meritorious posts since then. You currently have 69 pending merits for posts dating back over a month (and an unclaimed bonus prize), which will be awarded on a set schedule to avoid running into the 50 merits per 30 days limit (again). Your quoted post has already been scheduled to receive 12 merits in 9 days, though you are likely to have made even more meritorious posts during that time, so you are unlikely to ever receive all of your pending merits.

I'll tell you what: if/when you reach 100 pending merits, I'll promote you to Knight of the Vulpine Order of Merit. Until then, I fully endorse all current and future members of the Vulpine Order of Merit as merit sources, and hope that theymos recognises their outstanding contributions to the forum. Grin
