I think its purpose is not succesful since spammers and shitposters are still everywhere. It only gives hard time to newcomers since though having a good posts are not even getting single merit. I think it would be better if the process of giving merits will change like a team that can review posts and not the ranked users since some are manipulating it.

So by this suggestion some forum member have to do this task, it's like wastage of resources. If you see forums like Reddit. They have a very simple algorithm. They calculate Karma for each post. User will be aloted negative kerma for spamming.
But it is applied to all members equally. That mean you can also vote if a very higher rank member did something wrong.

But here ppl with lower rank is completely understand sympathy of higher rank member..

I think introducing a merit system is good to eradicate the spammers and shitposters which will give a good environment in this forum. But I noticed that some members of this forum violating the rules which as a results is becoming unfair to newcomers. First, those having a multiple accounts to which giving merits from their ranked account or swapping the merits. Second, those having friends or families are have the possibilities of swapping merits. What I have observed is some account having an informative posts but don't have merits compare to some new account with already have merits even without informative posts. I believe in the purpose of merit system but the way of giving merits I don't trust it. Maybe if only the moderator will distribute the merits or a system that can review individual posts will be better.

Just think, merit has no effect on scammer. Process of locating scammer and punishing scammer is exactly same as before merit. Merit can only only control your promotion. Getting promotion or hopping for promotion is not even bad. Everyone is doing their JOB for getting promotion in real life as well.

Merit is a drama.
In the local sections nobody has merit anymore and we don't know when we can get some again.
Many profiles have merit and don't distribuate it...

Don't know if it was a good idea because the forum is always spamed and full with crap @80%

Another Point of View on Merit:

Merit is actually created for making forum spam proof or restricting more user to get increased bounty share??

Merit is not even a method to remove spammers or to locate spammers. It is a way to restrict users so that bounty share for higher rank holder will not get shared (its a point of view)

If more users will get promotion they will share bounty rewards.

I have seen many quality post on which no merit is awarded.

Infact few of higher rank members are creating thread for throwing bounty like "I want to give 10 merits come and beg to me" Cheesy

.. Few threads are there where ppl are asking to share thread reply for which you think merit should be awarded but unfortunately not awarded.

Is Bitcointalk discussion is now shifting to merit center???

I think Merit is not right to capture a good post, and Merit is more synonymous with restrictions, because we understand Merit itself is not given by a moderator but by other members and it is very burdensome for users or owners of new Bitcointalk accounts.

Hi,

I have seen many post where user are sharing thread like blogpost. They create thread and put answer in that and keep refreshing profile to chk for merit collection.

Few time I saw ppl are demanding merits.

Merit is a solution for the forum or a restriction, whats your opinion?

Is Merit actually flowing between users?

I believe that ppl are loosing their interest on Bitcointalk.org you can see the traffic fall on the website: https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcointalk.org

Let's share views to make this forum healthy and democratic.
