it is just me, or in the Received Merits Subsection II graph, I can only see the merits in Meta, even if I select other boards?

It's not just you, I just checked it out and exactly the same thing happens to me, no matter the browser so I guess its just some glitch.

Some projects of mine are stuck because of this!
I Hope @ddmrddmr can fix it easily!

@Rikafip! Get back to work! I need to piggyback your graphic skills to decorate my aforementioned projects!

Time filters work just well, as the "date leve selector l" menu.
It's just the graph showing only the Meta board.
I tried clearing browser cache via the menu, and using Chrome or Edge didn't change the situation.

Awesome that those two members ranked up, especially Hydrogen, who seemed to have been at Hero member for as long as I can remember. It's about time he ranked up to Legendary.

Thanks for all those who helped me to reach hero rank and this feeling is really great and congratulations to @Hydrogen also on reaching Legendary rank.Working on next target.

There's a probability that many of them have used their source merit in the first days and didn't have much source merit in the week ending on August 1.

I am one of those, and I suffered a drop in available merits in the last week or so. I know others were in the opposite situation, so we should wait a little bit for the initial merits drop to smooth a little bit before drawing any conclusion.
I am wondering what theymos does that this way and not adding only the increase on top of the current stash (If I had a 700 merits allowance, If he wants to increase my shash to 1,000 he could just add 300 smerits to my current merit stash, no matter what it is).

Another red week. I have told many time it's too early to call, but this series of red is quite worrisome, given also the infinite serie thesis.

New merit sources were allocated on July 5.
There's a probability that many of them have used their source merit in the first days and didn't have much source merit in the week ending on August 1.
I expect to see an increase in the awarded merit in the current week or the week starting on August 9.

Anyway, you are right. We should wait. It's too early to talk about the effect of the increase in source merits.

The monthly increase makes the awarded sMerit toll for July 2021 double that of the prior month, which is pretty good in absolute value terms. sMerit TXs also spiked nearly +65% which means that more posts got merited. Additionally, +42% distinct people received Merits compared to the prior month.

All in all, a pretty good month, but yes, we’d need to wait a few more to see how the lines form a trend from this new starting point onwards:

Nope. It’s just the amount awarded during the last complete week (26/07/2021 .. 01/08/2021). Weekly Reading should not be taken too seriously though. I much prefer the monthly readings, as can be seen in the prior link derived from the Merit Dashboard (but since I update this thread every week, I provide week granularity).

I'm confused as to what that statistic reflects (aggregate awarded sMerit). Is that 5.194 given to users on average? For the month of July, the total number of awarded merits increased quite a bit, as referenced in this post. With that being the case, I wouldn't be too discouraged as the increase in merit sources and sMerit allocation to existing sources is having a real effect. The only question is whether it'll be a sustained one.

At some point, some people asked to see on my local board that received most Merits there, and to compare that to the Merits they sent there (see sMerit - Generosos y Tacaños - Foro Español). I did this from a local board prism, but also from a global perspective of those participating on the local board. The list ends up depicting those that are most generous, but also those that are the meanest. I did extend that to all merited forum profiles, but only on the link to the Google Sheet doc (second tab).

When going over the local board list, there are a bunch of profiles that have earned merits on the local board, one even in the three digit range, but have given none or close to none back there. That doesn’t deter me from meriting them though, since I value some of their posts way more than the merits they could be giving back to the forum. One is specifically well versed technically, and his posts are always appreciated, regardless of his near to null participation in the Merit System.

I'd hate to have to factor in someone's merit-giving history before granting them merits, and it's not something I've thought of before and don't intend to do--but if I'm basically sending merits to a dead end, I'm not helping the merit system as a whole, and that's something I very much want to do.

I actually have done something similar to this in the past.
I sent merits to a very good users, who later kept being in the first position of the list compiled by @Coin-1 of users with greater merit stash.

So I didn’t sent him many merits untile he ed used to start useng his stash.

As you said, sending merits to a merits hoarded doesn’t help the merit system and ultimately the forum.

I wonder what the problem is. Are merit sources being stingy, or does the problem lie with members who aren't merit sources?

I'm not sure merit source is stingy even though I haven't had the chance to receive merit from all merit source members. It is possible that the habits distribution of merit source of 1 merit per tx may affect the decline if they do not find more post to post merit. I don't know of any other reason worth dropping as some of the merit source can be seen depleting their sMerit faster than usual.

It’s actually a pretty decent week in terms of newly appointed high ranks. I don’t have exactly what I’d call comparable data.

Since the introduction of the Merit System, I make it 145 accounts have made it to Legendary, and 158 to Hero, needing Merits in the process (see https://public.tableau.com/views/BitcointalkMeritDashboard/Ranked-up?:language=en-US&:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link).
I don’t keep track of the associated ranking dates, other by the posting I make of those detected on a weekly basis (i.e. I’d need to go over all this thread to break these figures by year - end of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021).

The prior data I do have, which as I stated is not exactly on the same scale for comparison, is this:

It might be too early to call, but the downward trend is resuming.

That's surprising, especially after Theymos upped the sMerit allotments for merit sources and added new ones. Personally, I have never given out as many merits in a one month time period than I have in July. I started off the month with 1000 source sMerits, and as of this moment I think I have about 145 left.

I wonder what the problem is. Are merit sources being stingy, or does the problem lie with members who aren't merit sources? It's all well and good that I gave out 800+ merits this month, but if the members who received them don't pay them forward....then there's a problem. Unfortunately, there's not much any of us can do to make anyone give out merits if they don't want to.

I'd hate to have to factor in someone's merit-giving history before granting them merits, and it's not something I've thought of before and don't intend to do--but if I'm basically sending merits to a dead end, I'm not helping the merit system as a whole, and that's something I very much want to do.

That seems absurdly low, but I don't know what the data looked like before the merit system started. DdmrDdmr, do you have any of that data compiled by any chance, i.e., how many new Hero and Legendary members there were on a weekly basis prior to January 2018?

I think that last two weeks results are mostly due that sudden increase in merit; people probably spent it way fast, so merit shared started slowing down. 24773 merit shared during July is the best result in the last year and a half (since February 2020).

Quote from: fillippone on July 30, 2021, 08:39:36 AM

Really curious about the new equilibrium.

Considering the overall lower forum activity, I think current amount of merit is more than enough, but yeah it will be interesting to see how it pans out in the next couple of months.

Of course some Merit sources have still adapt to new allowances, some might have depleted too quickly (I do plead guilty), while some other might still have a backlog.

Thank you. Yes I was certain those surge in merit distribution are direct consequence of a specific event. However I genuinely tought art contest was by far the biggest one, but it probably spread his influence over multiple weeks.
