We really need a suggest for meriting button to list the good posts directly in Report to MS thread.


Awesome idea!
When I am out of sMerits I struggle to keep track of merits, I might save on a pocket (bookmarking web extension) or a text file to be merited later when I rack some merits, but being a very impractical way of keeping track of merit worth posts, I seldom find myself forgetting to merits, or remembering too late and not being able to find the actual post again.
Such a similar button could signal MS or users with abundance of sMerits stash some worth merits.
It could also be a more effective way to auto signal posts to merit later.

Ideally I would to on a page that would say something like this:

Code:
 Fillipppone signaled post “Xxxx” by User “Yyyy”. (2 merits granted so far by user “Zzzz”).

I am not a merit source myself and all my sMerits are sourced via post writing. I usually have periods when I write a lot (like last weeks) and I gather merits, because I have little time to do treasure hunts for good posts to spend them. On the opposite when I write less I have much time to find good posts, but having less merits inflow I usually deplete my stash fairly quickly.
That button would be helpful to mitigate that temporal imbalance too.

could be a good idea actually ....

There are a lot of pending merit source applications, and only theymos can act on them, what this means it's that we can only wait till he feels the need to do so.i believe he has a particular number of merits sources he wants to have on the forum, or he has already designated how many merits sources he would add to the list within x period of time, it's his call.

We can only help by making threads like this one to draw his attention, as well as moving links of good posts to the report to merit sources thread, I'm sure theymos knows what he's doing trying to balance the amount of merits that are circulated.

This thread is mostly made so Theymos can see that there are sources that just feels like they can help to distribute more merits into the forum, like some are active every day, I know I am and a few others.... This just means with not many MS's that there (our) supply could be increased, I know I could easily send out my stash X3 or X4 times, and with "free helping out" and "enjoying helping out" it would just be a normal act to increase our stashes....

I don't know how Theymos feels about the number of MS's but a few more could also work I think....

Just to give my support to all the waiting applications.
Recently bumped into some good newbie posts but I'm also out of smerit and browsing from a mobile phone which is pain in the (you know what, we really need the epochtalk implementation soon) so posting the link to the report to merit source thread is just too much to do. So I skip them with a hope that some of you guys will do your job and find those. Smiley

*Small bump, maybe to take in consideration it might be good to look at the source merits...... Thanks

I'm still available to distribute a few more Merits!
While I'm not a Merit source I'm collecting some posts here but I wouldn't mind if theymos makes me a Merit source of course.  Smiley



In addition, we have seen a new Merit all-time low in September!

I support the applications. I'm also considering to apply one day, as last days (months) quite often I ran out of sMerit, and there are some people deserving to get merit, when I have the possibility I report them to a Merit source.
I know that with every application comes a drama so that's why i haven't done it yet. Anyway if there is a need for more sources, I'll trow my hat in the ring.
I have almost 100 days online in the forum for almost 2 years now so I can say that I've spent quite some time in the forum, here is my sent merit history (thanks to Vod and BPIP) with 564 merit sent Smiley
Again this is just in case more sources are needed, I would love to avoid all the drama attached to an application.

The drama is OK, I would support your application as well.... but especially for contributing members that are very often online ad the forum it would be easy to have more merit to award to good members/posts etc as being out of Smerit all the time, I think to have an OK allocation but still i'm out all the time and its a bit of F***ed up, cause a better merit distribution is needed, and I know for myself I don't hoard or miss-use merit at any time, so for that reason I do think a call for increase should be answered as i'm not an dishonest forum user of any kind, and I think more people will feel this way.

I think to double and triple some user allocation will do good for a further merit distribution, of-course the real big sources probably not in need for more maybe as a members still need to be able of sending them all out, as we know don't let merit go to waste is important as well, but for myself I know I can easily use more as i'm very often online and am always short...

BTW, if someone always keeps having leftover source merits and not using them up try venturing into other sections once in a while, sometimes interesting threads/posts/discussions can be found.
I would love to be able to distribute more merits amongst the local sections, as I feel they are in general under merited. However, it is incredibly time consuming (and rather headache inducing) to translate entire threads or boards with a machine translator and work through them trying to find a good post or two. I was following cabalism13's thread on unmerited Filipino posts (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/full-list-of-undermeritedunmerited-posts-pilipinas-5137597), but unfortunately it's not been updated in a while. Does anyone know of any other similar threads in other languages?

In Croatian section of the forum I started this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/zbirni-topic-za-davanje-merita-za-kvalitetne-postove-i-za-korisne-informacije-4265795
Basically, all Croatian users can report there good quality posts, which they wrote or someone else, and others can reward such good posts with merits.
I'm only merit source in Croatian section at the moment and often don't have enough merits for everybody so any additional merit source is very appreciated.

Sorry, I meant to check out boards or child-boards you don't usually visit, I don't think it makes much sense to visit local language boards if you have to keep using Google Translate (or a similar tool) to understand what people are discussing.

Indeed to translate every single post = madness Cheesy also translation isn't always very solid especially when people talking their own local language with different dialect etc

I could also do with some more source merits tbh, I used to have more (250, I think) but I wasn't always using them up so I think that's why it was reduced, and now I'm unable to merit all posts that are worthy of merit (of those that I read through). I noticed I wasn't the only one on the merit source list to be donwgraded.

Nice initiative. 

And yes, I wouldn't say no if theymos asks me to distribute some sMerit.  Smiley


They both are very regular and I think dailey forum user as I am too, thats always a good point as well I think...
Sometimes I'm quite busy and most days of the week I'm online only during the evening hours due to study work, but it wouldn't be a problem for me to spend at least the double amount of sMerit I'm distributing right now. There are always good posts like in Beginners and Help where I would like to drop a few.



I support the applications. I'm also considering to apply one day, as last days (months) quite often I ran out of sMerit, and there are some people deserving to get merit, when I have the possibility I report them to a Merit source.

You would be a good Merit source for sure!
If you feel so, please apply, you have my support! Don't be discouraged if the same alts as usual are spamming your application thread. That's normal and if they keep trolling you've done something right.  Wink




I feel really bad as I always seem to have around 200 sMerits to award, In fact I've had a few difficulties recently, so I'm up to about 250 at the moment.[...]
Have you tried to keep track of this topic: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source
It might be worth a look.
Unfortunately, there's some Merit begging recentely (the original idea was to link posts of other users if you're out of sMerit) but a few members are still linking good content.

I did suggest that it might be worth allowing merit sources to transfer a few merits to reputable members who could then award them.

I presume you meant smerits, like how merit sources get monthly allocation without it affecting their total merit number. i.e userA who is obviously a merit source can send just smerits to userB for redistribution. If that's what you mean then it would be nice to experiment on it but if you meant merit, I don't think there's anything wrong with sending merit to reputed or other merit sources (that's if you won't be active that period) so they can have more smerits to circulate as far the post been awarded are quality ones.

@Jet If you want to be able to transfer it, then there should be a public register for all the transfers, so potential abusers can be spotted easily.
There shall be also restrictions to whom you can transfer them. Probably a person who have received at least 100 merit from other people (excludin the merit you sent to him) and who has max 5 smerit.

I've started to award merits in 5s for some posts.

I did suggest that it might be worth allowing merit sources to transfer a few merits to reputable members who could then award them. I think this could be useful for some of the local non-English boards. This idea didn't seem to be too popular though.

Potentially transferring to already existing merit sources might be a good option. Whether, we allow merit sources to see what each merit source has left, anyone who is consistently rewarded merits, and running out then transferring to them might be a good idea.  I would probably avoid transferring it to anyone though.
