Topic: Good posts not rewarded with merits (Read 869 times)
Locking this thread as a lot of people feel the need to revive a thread started almost 1.5 months ago. Bye.
Maybe I am still new but heard a lot of the complaining about merit is probably going to be a challenge for how to make a quality post and finally can get the merit. and maybe that was the purpose of establishing merit in this forum so that no one made a post just what it is anyway.
I also see a thread that give some merits, you have to do is to provide your link so they can see your good quality post. This is an easy way for them to find out and see our good quality post. Do not be envious to other who have a lot of merit but try to make a good quality post and acceptable topic. There are also chances with similar post, so we do not receive merit, it's best to read before posting.
There are a number of such threads. After the merit system was launched, I think we had more than 30 such threads each offering at least 10 merit points in the thread. Some offered as much as 50 merit points in single thread for applicants. Note that some of these threads are little harsh in giving merits. In one of the threads, I saw the OP awarding 1 merit each to almost all the applicants. So, after making 30-40 quality posts, if you have still not got any merits, you can try your luck there.
Good post not actually guaranteed to us to get merit, but post need contributing and helping others will help us to get merit also.
I actually try to do posting good quality, contributing and helping others first, and sure merit will come to me.
Every post I try to do the best quality.

I wanted to respond to this from the view of a merit source.
I may not view the same post that you do as "good".
But probably I just haven't read it. As an active bitcoin enthusiast (who uses this forum to advance bitcoin) I am very busy in other projects and don't have many hours a day to search and reward posts. But I do what I can, and I try to use all my sMerit.
Saying that, please don't PM me to look at your posts. I read the threads that interest me.
If Theymos expected us to merit every worthy post, he would probably pay us a salary, as it's close to a full time job.
Each of us has their own perspective on deeming a merit worthy posts and the fact that there are a lot of shitposters and spammers still present in the forum despite the actions being made by reputed members of the forum, like banning them permanently, posts that are very helpful/informative get flooded easily by useless posts made by shitposters. I may not view the same post that you do as "good".

Nice point!Merit beggars seems to fall into traps of sending PMs to ask higher-ranked members to reviews their threads and send them Merits. Those sort of users almost losing their minds. All users joined the forum for their own purposes, own interests first; then if they have time they will help others users, contribute to the forum via their threads, and / or topics, and giving their sMerits away for deserved users with high-quality, constructive threads.
Merit beggars should remember Vod's recommendation and never do this stupid stuff again.

I have post also that is quality but i have no merits gain. I think my post is not enough or not so quality.but just post and post that is useful for the forum.
I think that merit was invented for better communication about the crypt. Thanks to the system of merits, the forum will come out on top for useful information, this will be an incentive for those who did not want to share useful information. When you write a useful post you do not need to think about rewards. Do it for our community!
My take on this:
Think about Quality, Helping, and Contributing and neglect Merits.
Don't find merit, merit will find you
Think about Quality, Helping, and Contributing and neglect Merits.

That's exactly what I did until now but did not receive any merits directly, only when posting in review threads or in this sub-forum. Please check my posts.
Nope. You neglect the "neglect Merits" part.
Do you think my posts deserve any merits? How can I improve?
I'm not personally going to go through your posts, but I can say that the merit-giving might be a little lopsided, being given out in sections that aren't infested with shitposters (like economics and bitcoin discussion). I dont think anyone reads posts in those sections. I think I've given most of my merits out in meta or reputation, and those sections are ones that noobs only here to earn money tend to avoid. But I'm giving merit and I've seen a lot of users giving it out as well. This isn't supposed to be quick and easy.
There are many inactive accounts, they could still join bounties, if you charge $0.1 per post, they will stop, because they have no money, they are joining bounties to get paid in the future, asking them for money now would stop them from joining, nobody is stopping me from posting with 10 accounts.
I have my own good quality post that I think that it deserve merit, but the reality is I don't get that merit. Then I realized that might not everyone thinks that it was good or they just do not want to spend their merit. But I do not want to focus on merit, I am here to learn about crypto, so let merit come to me someday.
I also see a thread that give some merits, you have to do is to provide your link so they can see your good quality post. This is an easy way for them to find out and see our good quality post.

I just want to speak out, What are the criteria's of having quality post in the forum, as i observed many participant are aiming to be merited because they see their post are worthy enough to acquire points but nobody cares. Somebody could elaborate us clearly how to judge posts? I've seen a lot of quality post in the thread but nobody extend free merits..
Apparently this post deservers 20 merits

you just need to wait it out fella, Merit sources haven't been topped up yet and there are still plenty of shitposters hammering the forums, give it a few months and the people who deserve merits will start getting them. This wasn't an overnight fix it will take time to bed in and results to be seen
Can confirm.

You are a merit source. The next 0 merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days.
My take on this:
Think about Quality, Helping, and Contributing and neglect Merits.
Don't find merit, merit will find you

merit (as i know) as same as 'Like' on social media platform, different between it is merit use for rank uo in this forum. quality post not give you big chance for getting merit from other user from altcoins board. but, big chance for farming merit is on meta board and bitcoin board. why i say like that? altcoin board (in my opinion) focus on investment place.
"Farming merit " ? Choose your worlds wisely. This might confuse new members. I think you were suggesting that there are more chnaces of getting merits on posts made in meta section.
Not because you think you're post is good enough other users would use their merit to credit your post. Everyone is entitled to give their merit to whom they want it to give. Just continue to contribute to the community with your knowledge on crypto and aim for the goodness and success of this forum, don't be to focused on gaining merit although it's important for you to rank up but it will come and someone for sure will find your post worthy of merit, just continue the good work.
For OP, just take it easy, maybe your post is not recognized yet by people, and some people maybe doesnt feel it as a great post.
For OP to compare, please see my thread about QuestionAuthority (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30272338) and look how much work i put into my thread making a statistics of merit activity and see how many merit i got and ask yourself do my post is merited enough? Im just applying your way OP, just want to show that kind of feeling will always be there even though you got merit for your post later. We need to calm down and keep working a great work.

Yes, indeed it's not enough for the quality and time put into it. At least you received some merits for it, mine did not get any directly.
I've merited your post because this kind of posts deserve to be merited not the quick posts you see above.
That is why i told you to chill out and be patience. I know it is not easy to earn merits but it is not an impossible task too. I have read some of your posts and i can say that you have a quality in there, and you made a good and well thought posts, and some posts are from your own experience which cannot be achieved from reading or watching and you are willing to share that experience, it is a kind of a good gesture for forum in my opinion. Give it time mate, and i bet you will rank up just fine when the activity kicks in.
