This will also help the forum. We can conbined Merit and Like system like if the post was helpful and meaningful it will be merited for those who have sMerit while for those who didn't have sMerit will use the Like system or the upvote.
Rank     Required activity     Required merit Likes
Brand new     0     0 0
Newbie     1     0 0

Hero Member 480     500 800
Legendary   Random in the range 775-1030   1000 1200

Upvotes will be easily get because everyone will have it only 1 upvote per 1 post every users.

No. If you give a "like" some sort of value, then it will be abused.

The merit system has pretty much done what I wanted the "like" system to do.

I like the idea of a scoring system, but the way that score turns into a measure

I think we all have "like" or comment on other people's posts. This contributes to the appreciation of the forum posts. Help you express your opinion, contribute ideas to the topic.

Yes, I do agree with this suggestion and can we add thanks button too? Since we don't have merit to give in return with their help (response or reply) and posting "Thank You" migjt result to spamming, at least we can just hit the button thanks to say our gratitude.

^^ Its an economy with a deflationary monetary base Tongue

Also some of the merit given is then regiven possibly also some is given to less active accounts or just people who never bother to give merit themselves.

I'd rather Merit be the like system really, I think the like proposal just seems like it'd far looser and not count for as much. Thats fine on facebook where you just like a pretty picture and people are happy anyone at all viewed it (alot of content is not public there also) but I prefer the merit system here where you either dont have any merit to give or you are quite selective in needing to really appreciate a post before it gets any upvote. Just handing out as many likes as you want is too spammy, do we really need that. You know some people are just going to like everything they ever click on because they are happy shiny people, thats cool but its not adding anything to my forum readability.
This forum isnt really trying to get publicity kind of traffic especially, I prefer the quality route to be taken.

Perhaps everyone should get an occasional merit in line with their activity rather then it being a chosen few, actually I need to reread if thats already in there or not

But still, we are a transition for the merit system. Positive effects for lower ranks really make a change if this members really want to stay in the forum.

Honest question, did you observe this positive effect you're mentioning yourself? Maybe it is biased because I see so many lower-ranking members in the local forum upset about not ranking up but I'm really concerned that the merit system doesn't work the way it was intended.

There is a transition, sure, but I fear that it'll get even harder to gain merit than it is now.

Right now, there are 77 Merit sources generating ~588 merit/day
But in contrast to that, since implementation, ~2152 merit/day were sent. So unless the number of merit sources gets almost quadrupled, it get's harder to earn merit. Or am I missing something?

This is great Idea, having "Like" button in every post we create. Also, the idea in number of Likes will be one of the basis having a merit point. Hopefully this may happen in our forum.

No. I want people to be as free to like as many posts at they want. It should have no influence on anything.

You start tying it to merit and you introduce restrictions.

I get what you mean but don't you think that this might be a good addition (not a supplement) to the merit system? I'm sure that there is a way to implement a "like"-system without the restricting element you mentioned. Nevertheless, it's a valid point.

How about the ability to "like" or "+1" a post? ~~To prevent obvious abuse, you must have positive trust and seniority to vote.~~ A +1 should not give any advantage to a a post.

If it will be free from liking a post, then some people would abuse it even they have trust rating. If we are giving a like on a certain suggestion that really help, then why just give a merit. Thats simple.

But still, we are a transition for the merit system. Positive effects for lower ranks really make a change if this members really want to stay in the forum.

You can vod, and you can send more than 1 "like" to a someone, ill teach you how :
1. Find a post that you liked.
2. Click +merit button in the right bar of the post
3. Fill the blank box with number of "like" you want
4. Send
Thats how you give "like" to people.

Then you'll be using the merit system for the wrong reason (liking or agreeing to a post, is completely different to giving a small reward [in form of merits] to a high quality post):

Quote from: theymos on January 24, 2018, 06:00:11 PM

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality, not just posts that you agree with.

To break it down for you (a simple scenario):

"User A", likes or agrees to a post (made by "user B") and the content of that post was "I think you should wear a green shirt instead".
Clearly that posts doesn't deserve a merit (since it isn't a high quality post), therefore "liking" it would be the appropriate thing instead (if there was a like button).

It is obvious that if you really agree or think that the post of a particular is great and helped you then go ahead and 'like' it bu giving it a merit. Instagram has likes, facebook has emojis, twitter has heart, bitcointalk has MERITS. I know this forum is not at all comparable to social apps, still. Everything has its unique things.

I don't like some of the ideas, I think it would make it look irritating. I like the current simple design. It's a bit hard to navigate in terms of looking for people who quote" or answered you for you to quote back. I wish that one to be improved.

Some how it happened Vod, the implement of Merit is some how near +1 on posts.

It's a no for me. We already have merit smerit. Thread notification/following would be nice, and also the preview idea.

What would be the purpose of the +1/liking a post? Just to show your agree? Would they be tallied up or a score kept to show how many +1s/likes you have? (like being another feedback system). I thought about being able to favourite/bookmark posts or threads, not to score them or whatever, but just to keep tabs on them for future reference.

Maybe you could use this approach instead of the merit system which is ineficient and restrictive to new users.
If you consider the post was useful to you, you like it, otherwise you don't. Simple, easy to implement and people are already used to it from FB.

This would make more sense.

It's probably redundant now but it still could be useful I think. Sometimes you might just want to like something that is funny without necessarily giving it merit. You may also have run out of merit or not have any to give in the first place etc. Also, I don't think there's any guarantees that this system will be transferred over to the new forum as it's just a test run really. If it works out well enough then I'm sure it will be but maybe it will just turn out to not be an effective enough system but only time will tell if masses of lower ranked accounts aren't really getting anywhere despite descent postings etc.

Shouldn't this be canceled If It's planned? I liked the idea originally but since we now have merit points, I don't see much use for this, It will probably only make profiles and threads slower to load.

I don't know if this was thought about yet, but couldn't there be some type of implementation of an algorithm to say that if there was a mass of likes/upvotes or dislikes/downvotes within a given timeframe that the moderator for that particular board has to verify when it comes to the reputation?

Do you mean that if a post gained a certain amount of dislikes then it could be put up for review for the moderators to remove? I mean that could work but I think if the post infringed a rule then someone would of reported it.

Just because a post is disliked by the majority doesn't mean they aren't expressing a legitimate opinion.

What I meant was if a post gets certain amount of dislikes in a certain timeframe, i.e. 50 dislikes/likes in 2 mins. That would be an indicator for the mods to look at the accounts to see if bots/alts were used.
