When the merit was introduced I had a policy of simply awarding best posts or posts that are helpful to me personally. Since than I have somewhat amended in a way that I favor lower ranks and local forum where I am most active. It was necessary because I simply don't have enough merit to award all the post I deem worthy.
I try to always keep few merits in hand to award great posts which are beneficial to me personally and probably useful to community as whole.

I think, you may skip legendary members regardless of their posts... They are already established and everyone knows what it mean...
Instead I believe,, Newbies to Hero must enjoy this merit system based on their posts... They have yet chance to improve themselves with due evaluation & rewards..
(Note: Extremely high level & beneficial post must be awarded no matter what rank the poster has)

Note: I've edited the title and the OP to make my case even clearer. I thought it was petty clear but after seeing some replies I wanted to emphasize: I'm only talking about giving merits to high-quality posts.

I don’t get enough smerits to spend as often as I would like to. This has made me decide that I am only going to give merits to lower ranked members; I won’t give any for Legendary members and maybe not to Hero members either.
I think it is better due to scarcity to save them for people who have a long way to rank up rather than for those who are at the top already and get merits easily.
What do you think about? Do you do the same? Do you think it is fair?

You made a nice point, also put into consideration to merit only lower rank members that contributes positively to the community, that why we will avoid spamming post and the rest.
The merit system was introduced to take care of spamming post as users look for it to be ranked up while doing so they post only relevant post in order to be merited . Also kindly not, if a legendary member post something meaningful also consider meriting the post that way we share the merit round and make bitcointalk better and fair

Well I agree that merits are not for charitable reasons but for the sake of keeping this forum healthy with good quality posts. That would only be possible if we will not let alts and abusers spam and shitpost.
Giving sMerits is not based on their ranks but their posts.
If you think low-ranked accounts give a valuable point and idea then good for them.
I know that observing for quality is a bit crucial because of high standards of some merit sources but that is why we, average-ranked users are here to give good judgement too. We have an opportunity to do that.
Saving is not really necessary but let your sMerits count for a greater purpose.
If you will give you sMerits to a spammer and alts, then it is useless because your sMerits will not produce a quality member.

Well, I think you seem like a really nice person.

I am in favour to consider positively good questions from newbies to Juniors for their first merits to motivate them staying in the forum. After that, I have no conscious bias regarding the rank.
May 06, 2018, 09:02:27 AM
I would do that if I had unlimited smerits and, in fact, that was what I was doing before.
The problem with that is that I find interesting posts soon, and I run out. So, when I find more interesting posts, I don’t have merits to send. With limited smerits, I consider awarding posts written by a Legendary member a waste. With Hero members is not so much of a waste, but they get them easily.
I reviewed the sMerits I sent to members and found out that most them went to higher ranking members tho I merited one jr.member whose posts really piqued my interest. My point is, I will still merit posts regardless of ranks.

It's not fair. Higher-ranked users still need sMerits to reward other users. You should merit posts that deserve it, regardless of rank.
Lower ranked members also need sMerits to reward other users and, most, if not all, merits sources are higher ranked members.
I’m only giving merits to posts that deserve them, so, in my opinion, your objections don’t hold.
I think the sole criterion should be the benefit the post brings to the forum and its members.

As you can see, I have awarded merits to two legendaries in this thread. 
Yeah! I’m not surprised that those complaining about what I say are higher ranked members and those who agree are lower ranked ones, lol!

Personally I would rather hand out merit to the newbies-member accounts. Giving merit to legendary is just like handing money to billionaires. They don't need it and other people would appreciate it more.

I know, actually it depends on the user.
its not, it depends on the post, you should care less about who is the poster or his rank.
May 05, 2018, 09:33:12 AM
Hello, as a low-ranked member I believe this merit system is good and your idea of saving is not bad, as long you really give it to people who deserve it. I believe you will be often seeing yourself giving merit to older people because they are more used and better on finding and posting interesting content. However, I really would like a system where anyone can highlight a good post (tho I fear the spamming), so it's easier for veterans to see it and give it more merit chances, I often see really fruitful topics without any merit and I wonder if it's not because enough veterans has seen it.

Yeah but lower rank users is badly in need of merit to level up, we consider it as a form of charity.
This forum isn't a charity. Hopefully those looking for charity rewards will go elsewhere now that merits have been introduced. They were screwing u the forum for those of us who don't mind working for a living.
I got you, but in my own opinion there is a difference between equality and justice.
So, if you treat others equally you mean that regardless of the rank you will give merit to those who have quality post.
But if you choose justice you will give merit to those in need of merit but also deserving to have merit and who posts quality posts.
In other words prioritize lower rank users who are also deserving to have merit.
