Basically 9 posts merited out of 39. Good enough in my opinion.

If ratio 9 out of 39 is good enough, then why do we still need requirement of activity? Especially requirement of posts needed.

Basically 9 posts merited out of 39. Good enough in my opinion. I confirmed to check his/her posts to make sure that his/her posts are good enough; and indeed they are. What's your excuse now?

MERITS ARE ONLY GIVEN TO THOSE WHO DESERVE IT.
So if people don't give you merits for your posts, then it simply means that you don't deserve merits.



Ok agree but if you see the profile for Alexander_Z  (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/alexanderz-31565), you can see his account was registered on July 02, 2011, 07:19:23 AM and it clearly indicates it a farm account of any Legendary member here.  Grin

How will defend that considering account farming is not allowed ?

Whether or not it is a farmed account or not, my point is that newbie accounts are also being given merits by the higher ranks. As opposed to what most newbies and jr members are moaning about "hurr durr higher ranked members only gives merits to high ranks its so unfair  Angry"

Their first post does a pretty good job at explaining exactly what you are trying to call them out for. They blatantly come out and say that they are doing this as a more established member, specifically to see what the progression of an "informed" user might be.

All right, looks like it is a good time for a small experiment. Recently I have found that I can still access my old account, created some time ago and never used. I have a habit to read, not post. But now it may be amusing to watch the merit progress of this "new" account, so I have decided to revive it.

Dig a little deeper and you'll find your answers are right in front of you. I do not see a problem with their experiment. They are being honest (as far as I can tell), but the experiment is supposed to resemble what are the possibilities and realities of the merit system for a low-ranking user that has good information to present.

Regardless of who it is, it helps us to see that merit is very feasibly acquired, even by lower-ranking members if they post anything of reasonable quality.
