Topic: Forum innovations in the last 12 months. - page 2. (Read 595 times)

Theymos mentioned somewhere that these are like just trial run to see how the community reacts maybe he is having more innovations to implement in the near future.

As far now the Merit and new DT system works perfectly.

I joined the forum it was a few days before the merit system was implemented. I didn't care much about my account, activity merit or whatever. I didn't even knew what was a merit when I received my first one.

Few weeks later I discovered how this forum is a really cool place.

Then I thought merit system wasn't a nice implementation, as it was possible to keep merit circulating only in closed circles. But I decided to keep using the forum anyway, and then I realized that I was wrong: Merit is not circulating in closed circles, and anyone can really rank up and earn lots of merits.

After that, I saw some nice improvements in the forum, as you already mentioned. As this forum is very big and it is working fine, every move must be cautious and slow.

Spammers/scammers certainly won´t like those new improvements. And that´s good.

Disagree on that point, Theymos seems to be backing self regulation and decentralization Merit and the new DT system are fine examples of this, but with this there is a responsibility for those involved to embrace it - if you check collectibles or hardware you will see lots of positive trust being handed out probably 20x more positive trust interactions than negative. Scammers though are more prevalent in other parts of the forum and people need to be made aware of nefarious individuals ill use an example most in here could appreciate, Imagine Cryptohunter approached you to buy some widgets you were selling - could you imagine the total shitshow that negotiation would be? now as they have a number of red tags - any even minutely sane person would click and find out the user in question is certifiably insane and just stick them on ignore. Other examples of people farming accounts, selling accounts or even someone who has actually completed a scam and another user has actually lost out, look - its not doom and gloom if you are a part of the community and want to be here for being here and not just to earn a quick buck!

It did not happen over night. I noticed in the forum people are searching for others mistake. We are waiting for others to make mistakes so that we can red tag them, we are more comfortable to leave negative than positive. We are always looking for the bad sides in members. We are feeling happy (perhaps) when we see someone is making mistake.

This should be a community to inspire good works and help others. When we see someone is doing something wrong, we should correct them. We should give them enough space to be a good man. This should be a forum where seniors support juniors, juniors support seniors. Everyone support everyone. We should work together. Are we really doing that?

When you focus on finding bad in someone you eventually find one. There is a saying...

I’ve never had a problem with how the forum is run. I got into crypto in May 2014, only registered here in September 2014. I’ve learnt so much here & I really feel it’s the most helpful, user friendly place on the internet for Bitcoin’ers (is that a word?).

I have no issues with anything DT related, Merit related or whatever.

I’m just here every day enjoying myself

There are untold amounts of negativity here right now, people kicking off about Merit & Trust, cryptohunter and itomarketing going on about how life is unfair etc etc. But I just want to comment on the innovation - Theymos has remodeled DT into a self governing system and the Merit system is here to allow the community to show appreciation and allow many of us to notice posts we would never of necessarily seen before and recently he has implemented grin as a means of payment on the forum - all in all more innovation and action than I have seen in years.

Bottom line, I think everyone should take a step back and appreciate the forum is trying to push forward, adapt and grow in a way that doesn't make it self implode. Sure, not everyone will agree with everything - you can't please all the people all the time, but thinking about Grin - not the most amazing coin to me personally but instead of appreciating the step forward in taking another currency I was more interested in the price and circulating supply.

I'm not the only one who will post here with positive things, but it has to be said - innovation is moving a shit ton faster than the new forum software.
