Eh, the merit system is fine as it is. Genuinely helpful newbies who aren't bitcoin experts gravitate towards places like general discussion and beginners and help, and get their merits from there.
On the other hand, people who are seasoned in bitcoin go to boards like development and technical discussion, mining board and technical support where there happens to be less merit circulation because of the fewer readers on that board. But that's mostly compensated by the airdropped merit in 2018 and the reasoning that most such profiles who joined since then have no interest in ranking up.
Topic: Automated Merits for 100 Activities /Topics - page 2. (Read 946 times)
Seriously? This is one of the worst suggestions I've heard. We might as well get rid of merit if we adopted this as it would make spam worse exponentially. All users would do is create hundreds of shit threads just to get their automatic merit or badge, which i meaningless.
Dude - take a chill pill.
Suggestions are meant to be discussed, flashed out and accepted, or found to be unworkable, not ridiculed by those who should know better.
Oh, and no merits for your spelling mistake either.
This utterly defeats the purpose of merit.

I like the idea in principle - the shit posters might spew forth with bile and what not, but overall it sounds like a great idea. Even if it's not merits then a badge or similar for 10, 50, 100 etc topics started. Things like that - recognition for work achieved.

My suggestion is to have at least An Automated Merits for every 100 activities if that not persuasive let's be for every 100 Topics from one individual with 100 Individuals Contribution no matter what they on their comments this is only to acknowledge that Topics attracts more people.
As what most users have said: having an "automated" merits is just a single step to a non-sense idea why merits do exists. Merits was made so that spammers and shitposters would remain on their rank by the time their posts was proven so. You've just joined the forum recently yet we all wished that you read threads first because you just made a cliche and redundant topic.
All you can do is to simply share helpful and useful ideas to a certain post or topic, participate in merit giveaways, or make something other user's would find amusing (such as programs and stuffs).
<…>
If someone can’t get merited after opening 100 topics, then what is the point of rewarding them by meriting them? Any automatic reward for x100 whatever, only leads to x100 spam to get that reward (so as to say). The Merit System has it flaws, as subjectivity unavoidably leads to, buy automating rewards on sheer numbers, and not on content, is clearly far worse (even if it a complementary feature, which would play contra natura). 
I think it's a bad idea and it will negate the idea of the merit system and people will be lazy waiting for the desired activity needed to get merit. If just solely create a topic for over a 100 or even below that one, that will just create an uproar of spam topics, moreover a redundancy of topics. If ever it will be based on the constructiveness of topics, the moderators will surely get a hefty work to do in order to give whoever has done it.
NOOOOOOO!!!!!
It is the worst idea I have seen so far on merit In the past, when the merit system was not available, users needed to post at least 14 posts every 2 weeks to increase the activity score (1 or 2 weeks, I'm not sure), meaning that it would generate a minimum of 14 spam posts per spammer.
We all know how the merit system works and how important merit is. And now you recommend 1 merit for every 100 posts and no matter what they post. Meaning it will create 100 spam posts to earn one merit. And there are thousands of people like that. This forum will be filled by shit again
Please ignore this idea, it's not good

LOL, this topic really shows the the merit system is working. Shit posters still trying to find ways to circumvent the system. Obviously the answer is a big fat NO. And please lock this thread for good.
Allowing automatic merits based on activities will allow spammers automatically rank up over time. It will only slow down their rank-up progresses. Whenever they reach the ranks they think enough, they will become more actively spam.
100 bounty report ~ 1 merit. Nope, it should never be like that.
Then 1000 bounty report ~ 10 merits ~ Member rank ? Nope.

I don't think if One with 100 activities or 100 Topics all of them will be wrong or shit topics and comments
If you start giving merits for merely posting 100 times - yes, there will be many many spammers with 100+ all-shit topics.
This has been discussed many times before and the answer is still no. There will be no "automatic" merits as that's too prone to abuse.
I was thinking About probability In every possible earning on Bitcoin which lead me to see the other side based on the Bitcoin forum, Many People ask differently on merit way up But I think they forgot. The probability Aspect which I wish to share with you today, I don't think if One with 100 activities or 100 Topics all of them will be wrong or shit topics and comments definitely it's not true maybe someone with proof will prove me wrong
