The rules has has been the same and every member knows the consequences of breaking such rules. you either get temporal banned or banned from here.
personally, i don;t believe in quick merit method. every merit been given out here is at the owners digressions. our comprehension are different and understanding varies. some post might not mean anything to you but it may mean something to another person.
Topic: Disadvantage of Quick merit earn method. (Read 735 times)
^
I saw a post about asking how one can earn a merit, I don't want to answer because some already posted with the best answers they can get.
I think this thread is what they needed to see. The hunger for merits will made them use unacceptable methods just to earn one. They need to understand more about what will be its effect in the long term. Let's say they got what they wanted, rankep up as fast as possible, however we can't deny they lost a lot of knowledge they should have learned when they choose the right path.
I hope they will learn that it is enjoyable and knowledgeable to just choose the right path. Enjoy the process of learning and in no time you won't notice that you are already contributing constructive post and you will be surprised you are already receiving merits, and that feeling is heaven, because you work hard for it.
The moral of the story is that you may get merits or survive by these artificial tactics but one day you will be caught and all these efforts of your will be in vein. If it more better to spend your time and efforts in writing your own posts without trying to be over clever and slowly you will move up.
I think if it is your passion to write and post you will rank up more quickly than if your only motive is to get merits for earning money.
In other words, whatever dishonest things you do in darkness or when you think no one is seeing shall one day be revealed or exposed. Obviously most of the merit abusers have only one motive here of earning money not knowing that acquiring knowledge through try to learn, helping others and being a good member here in the long run has even much better benefits.I think if it is your passion to write and post you will rank up more quickly than if your only motive is to get merits for earning money.
And people do that will never learn anything since they cheat to and make those things faster for there selves and for sure they will be unmask and everything will be revealed once there is a lapses on what they are doing that's why it's better for those who think about that to do it on legit and unique way so that all efforts will not be wasted and I'm sure true efforts will get rewarded soon.

Suddenly came on mind about quick merit earn method & outcome. Since most of newbies away from meta/reputation so I wonder to share on this board. When you will see this case, then you will realized the point that about what I am talking. Anyway I will try to explain briefly.
Above mentioned user got red tag from multiple DT members due to spin/plagiarize post from some other sources. And I believe that tags are appropriate since that guy admitted himself about spin or plagiarism. He had copied from other articles and likely spin or change some words by himself. That's totally against forum rules. You are not allowed to make plagiarized post.
The most dangerous and abusive behaviour is, he gave some answers of pre-planned questions. That means, he prepared question and answer by himself, he made post (questions) by his alt or by friend's accounts and immediately answered before someone else. By this way he gained lots of merits. Even me, I have sent him merits since I had not looked deeply about posting time. However somehow his shady behaviour has been exposed and got multiple tag.
Here is the lesson for all over forum user especially for newbies. That means that guy want to gain merit so quickly for rank up. But remember every quick method is harmful especially on this forum. You may realized even on your real life, short cut or quick method for anything is harmful.
There no way earn merit by quick method, in a result your account will be worthless. Because forum people is to intelligent than you. So there is no very easy way to skip such behaviour that I mentioned above.
Just be a decent users, create unique post with your own idea, you can search or study from other source but you are not allowed to spin or plagiarize from others. So many users rank up by their hard work, so you should do same. Learn as much you can and share your best experiences and knowledge with this community. I am quite sure community will reward you somehow.

Sharing knowledge and getting knowledge from this forum is more important then earning merits. I am perfectly OK without merit since I am getting what I want to get from here. There are many who prefer to buy merits rather then getting them through posting interesting stuff.
I don't think this is the only tricky case of merit abuse. A lot of people are willing to do a lot to make money. In my opinion, such behavior shows disrespect to all forum users and such a user must have a red tag.
There are so many ways to earn merit.
My case for example. I have 25 posts and 17 merits. Why? Because I interact with people, making jokes, answering questions, etc..
We don't need to grab some stuff from elsewhere and post here to earn or prove something.

You can joke or reply only when you understand context of any thread. The user OP mentioned created his own questions and replied on his own as he did not even have the ability to understand anything. But, he was trying to spam by playing those cheap tricks.
It is to be noted that the moderators ate awake and alert to maintain the discipline. His tricks screwed him off. That is a less to all other scammers.

If I need an article, I will google it and, off course, I will ask if I can't find something. This is why we are here after all. To learn and teach and share thought about different subjects. Not only to read about them.

Great! Funny, friendly, enthusiasm is always the key to get interest from people. Good mind bro.
It's funny that more often than not, users who are directly related to bounty companies ask about their promotion levels.
After all, if you think about it, why do you need to get a higher rank on the forum? Or in order to earn money, although this is rather strange considering the decadent situation in the Riots market now.
Or in order to increase your status in the community and fit into the community and become its deserved part, get the community’s vocation as a full member.
But as a rule, such people do not ask similar questions; they prove their belonging to the community through their actions.
It seems to me that most people don’t understand that getting a rank will simply not give them anything.
This will not increase their profit, and will not add respect among the community if their rank is not earned deservedly.

I understand that new members sometimes don't have patience and wants everything now, not later but I think current forum system is really fair and good for everyone.
Good and hard working members progress and others who try to cheat get ban.
Be honest, work hard, contribute something to the community and you will be rewarded.
For others there is no place here.
For users who feel that their posts deserves merits we have a lot merit giveaway topics or they can start their own topic.

Trading merits for a few dollars is also punishable, I don't know where and how such people committing this, can be found.=
It pops up on Fiverr every now and then. I've seen prices of $15 for one merit which is a pretty mind blowing figure. No doubt it takes place in murkier corners of the internet too.
Considering how broke and desperate many a shitposter must be I don't understand why they don't dig deep and channel that to, y'know, non shitposts for a little while just to see what happens.
Trading merits for a few dollars is also punishable, I don't know where and how such people committing this, can be found. Though, that user got what he deserved and it is a lesson for those who look for shortcuts and end up in forum morgue by having their account totally worthless. I ask all the newbies and lower rank users of the forum not to take any such shortcuts please because putting efforts to gain something feels great 'if you have that 'conscience' in you.

Definitely, we will be rewarded if we make our own mark 
I see many people who are very positive in this forum, but that positivity does not bring them any merits. Their common point is inadequate attention to the topics. They often post "vague" posts, some never read what OP and others have said. It is like the posts are done just to demonstrate the operation, with no real support to the community. Most people who work in this forum, whether this job or other job, we are looking forward to money But the value of money must come from your contribution 
Hopefully this topic will make some of them understand the value of their contribution and self-worth
the main reason for every forum is to learn, interact, read and most importantly, have fun. as this community, it is all about cryptocurrency. for users that wants to enjoy or learn about crypto, here is the right place and make sure you give back to the community whatever you learn.
incase you don;t know, there are thousand people joining this platform daily so there must be newbies. don;t be greedy to share what you learn please. Knowledge they say is power. teach the newbies what you learn to avoid trouble.

I know that the forum has a very strict punishment for using plagiarism. So I don't understand why he didn't get a permanent ban. After all, this participant has not yet managed to do something good for the forum, but its violation is limited only to negative tags.
From a Meriter’s point of view I’m sure I’ve been tricked into meriting posts that use all sorts of tricks to seem legit (pre-planned fake conversations, alt-accounts playing dumb, alt-accounts playing wise, and so on). I assume that is going to happen to some extent, hopefully minimal, but after distributing nearly 4,5K sMerits that is bound to happen to some degree. I normally take a bit more convincing from accounts I’ve never encountered before, and generally merit in ones and twos per se, but even so the account referenced in the OP got a few sMerits from me.
Now the cases that may eventually be noticed are through a slip of plumae in a post, or raising a largish amount of merits in a small period of time, drawing attention to the account and leading to someone digging well into it.There are likely many smaller cases that go under the radar, but who can tell.

There are not many short cuts to success in life. Those who go for short cuts always fall down.
The reason why many new members are running after merits is because of bounties and other incentives at this forums are only for seniors members.

The only way to survive and prosper in this forum is, to be hones and hardworking because these cheap tactics can be encoded som or the other day and you will end up losing credibility and requirement to join the signature campaigns as I suppose this user had been doing this in order to earn quick merits and join any signature campaign but it has backfired him and his genuine efforts if he made any would have also gone in vain due to this unethical activity. Just be yourself and keep learning and sharing knowledge and merits will find you.
It is better to avoid shortcuts. I don't mind ranking up like a snail(slowly), so far I'm learning so much along the way as i rank up. Those "smart" shortcuts are not supposed to even be an option, you could be winning with them for a moment, but a time could come and everything would be unravelled, where would you start from again then.
If you have intentions of being in the forum for a long time, do what's right and ethical, I'll prefer being on the forum just to discuss even without ranking up, than ranking up through plagiarised texts and getting a permanent ban eventually.
