Somehow some people have misunderstood my point for this thread, but that doesn't matter because we all have the freedom to have different opinion. OK I got some of what I wanted, sure it will be useful for other users who have quality posts. But again I don't feel to begging [might be different if someone else does] because basically I'm just asking one of you or few to be willing to review my post. If you deserve some then I'm grateful that I have some extra sMerit to distribute among other users' quality posts.
My only goal in this thread is to have sMerit with which I can merited other users for their quality posts. If that's wrong, then forgive me. The thread is locked and I think this is the best decision.
Thank you yahoo62278, skarais, and mikeywith. You may understand what I expect. Also thanks for all the constructive advice.

In the end, the OP got what he was looking for, although such a distribution of merits is completely wrong in my opinion, especially for the reason that it is seen by many beginners who climb the ladder with great difficulty, and someone gets 50+ merits for a literal "begging post".
Upon reading his post again, I have to say that I think you are right and this is indeed more about merit begging than anything else. I mean, why would member with 1000+ merits even report his posts to a merit source as he said that he is still doing that? These things should be imho reserved to those who lack merit to reach the higher rank and not just for the sake of getting more merit for whatever reason.OP, rather than embarrassing yourself this way, I think you should be wise enough before complaining about merit. I think you are one good user, but you just need to be more patient to find better ways to get more merit after Legendary. Close your topic and see the truth, you have to put in more effort if you want to earn more merits even if you want to contribute to the system more often.

Apparently, everyone on the forum thought the CM member was Albert Einstein until it was one and members starting seeing you with the same Avatar and signature same as people who are spamming the gambling board. haha
I don't spam any boards, not even Gambling, where I write a maximum of 10 posts a week, and I think that most of those posts are constructive - and also don't compare the campaign in which I participate with those that encourage spam - I only need to write 20 posts a week, and earning was never my first priority. There are shitposters in all parts of the forum, have you maybe looked at the Bitcoin discussion board or Economics boards?
NOW you read it wrong, I was just using a few people of your campaign as examples, you are a good poster regardless of what you wear today, just that the CM signature was like a garment and draws more attention to anyone wears it, I hope they straighten things out and return in good faith.

Given the reputation that CM built over the years, I am not surprised that people perceived members with their sig differently to the point that their posts had more "weight" and to be considered as a sort of forum elite. It will take a long time to see another campaign reach that level. Bestchange was the closest thing to CM until they started allowing Bitcoin discussion spammers in, another one was Stake, which aimed to create a great reputation but the payment was insufficient to attract good posters.
Whirlwind and Sinbad could be the future CM; they have some outstanding posters and the best paid campaign right now, and if they run for a few years, one of them could occupy the CM seat.

With that being said, I did check his merit history and it looks like ~30% of his merit received came form the same member so no wonder when that source of merit stopped, he was left with very few merits received in the last few months.

Tell me about it, because I have personally convinced myself several times that since there are no more CM campaign, it seems that no one takes me seriously anymore, apparently most people look at the signature and avatar first, and only then at the content of the post.

I wouldn't accept any deal in which the campaign manager decides where I can post.Same here, I wouldn't accept any deal that limited my posting on the gambling board because that's the most fascinating board as a sports fan. Although the gambling board appears to be a merit retirement home, users would only appreciate your postings with words. because nearly every active member on that board has little or no smerit to share.

That was just advice, although topics like this are 99% for the Reputation board, regardless of how someone interprets them.

I get the feeling any change in appearance leads to a reduction in how much Merit I receive. Each time I changed my avatar or signature, it feels like I receive less Merit. I think my posts look more anonymous (for a while) after each change.

Each time I changed my avatar or signature, it feels like I receive less Merit.But anyway, I never feel that the amount of merit you get will decrease after you change your appearance (signature or avatar), unless you don't write anything for more than one month. So far, your merit per post ratio is 0.55 merit per post (excluding merit airdrops), even people will recognize you as a different (special) user even if you post less than before.
You must be kidding me. ;v

@_BlackStar as others told you, its quite normal to receive less merit once you reach Legendary rank as many of us experienced (myself included) the same thing so I woulnd't worry too much about it.

If I were you, I would move this thread somewhere far away and lock it, because I think it does you more harm than good. However, don't take my advice seriously, because I'm not one of those people whose opinion carries some weight on the forum.
ou have been misinformed. I have just over 200 merits. I have never had more than 400 in the bank at any time BTW. Dmdr may need to check their page and make sure it's putting out the correct information as it currently is not.
It always boggled my mind how can non-merit sources have so much merit to share because 99% of the time I am at 0 and usually spend all of it the very same day I have some. @_BlackStar as others told you, its quite normal to receive less merit once you reach Legendary rank as many of us experienced (myself included) the same thing so I woulnd't worry too much about it.

As for me i see nothing bad in you requesting for a post review on your profile since it's by choice and not by force, also the person reviewing your profile may decide to merit you or not base on his satisfaction seen with your profile, same way we have many merit giveaway threads in which members can apply for and if eligible, they can receive merits and this cannot be termed as merit begging, you beg for merit when you directly ask someone to merit you without a course, but when you submit an application for a post review or merit giveaway threads, they may merit or may not base on how they see your profile to thier satisfaction.

I checked the DdmrDdmr merit dashboard and it reveals you are currently hoarding roughly 1300+ smerits, which is the average of what a merit source receives per/month.
Merit sources receive 309 sMerit per month on average.

It’s really a bad choise of caption on the column on my behalf, as it represents SentMerits (not what we know as sMerits, which can’t really be calculated with precision for all profiles due to those with initial sMerit airdrop and/or being Merit Sources at some point). I’ve changed the caption

Well, if I were to be asked personally about this question, it's just that there are some here who have high standards when it comes to giving off merits. I have known even before how much you have contributed on this forum aside from having high quality posts so I'm sure you won't suffer 0 merits even in 3 months, that's how a quality member you are here, but as of lately ther have been problems in merit cycles not only about your posts but also some other boards too due to inactivity of some merit sources, but that doesn't mean you don't deserve the merits you received.
April 27, 2023, 09:10:35 PM
Merit earning is like Bitcoin mining, it's a combination of randomness and hard work, you could be trying to solve a block for a year, and then on the first day of the next year, you solve 2 blocks in a row.
I don't follow my earned merit closely but I am sure even after gaining my first 1000 merit, in some weeks/months I had little to no merit, in some other weeks I could have gotten 300 merit, then 40, then maybe nothing for a while, it's pretty normal, you will need to measure the number of merit against the number of posts on a very large timeframe, perfectly would be against infinity, a few months is the minimum IMO.
I still get merited for posts I forgot I ever wrote, had I waited for merit to come to those posts when I posted them I would have been very disappointed, and I am sure this applies to everyone else, you need to stay patient and consistent, eventually on some period of times you will get more merit than you ever thought possible, the pace at which you earn your merit is usually going to be like a staircase, flat for a while followed by a steep slope, so just hang in there and stay consistent with the quality of your posts, merit will come your way.

you are a source, and I doubt you have ever gone out of merit.
I am not a merit source, I just get merited like everyone else. Maybe more often I suppose, but definitely not a source.I checked the DdmrDdmr merit dashboard and it reveals you are currently hoarding roughly 1300+ smerits, which is the average of what a merit source receives per/month.

I think this is a subtle way to get merits and you've done that but mainly because you are a good poster and you deserve it, or should I say it's a subtle way to get attention to check the posts and possible merits.
But not everyone can do this I remember new accounts asking this and they get busted, because they directly ask for it, without knowing that begging for merits is prohibited.

He needed the attention and i think he deserves one + the merits he got. he is a good poster.

Once a person reaches Legendary rank(you have the merit to be that) I will usually merit them less and once you reach that rank merit isn't worth anything, it's just as bragging rights thing at that point IMO.
It's nice to get merits, but unless you're a merit source it isn't your job to feel like you have to merit someone. You can make a spreadsheet and merit people later if you recieve some merit, or you can send a merit source a pm and have them take a look although they will probably get annoyed at multiple PMs.
The only good answer is apply to be a merit source(if you're not 1 already) and see if theymos will approve you.
I sent ya 49 merits to help you out, but now I cannot send you anymore for a month. Good luck.

Most times I think the merits even come more easier when someone gets to legendary rank because most times I see very highly accounts rack in over five thousand plus merits and yet still get accounts like mine who struggle to get this merits despite putting in their best efforts and we all know that our level of assimilation and comprehension can never be the same hence we can't all grow in same Pace.
There are alot I'm yet to know over here and I'm still trying my best to keep to the forum rules and it seems the forum doesn't have any rules but realistically, the forum has a alot of rules and I try not to fail anyone.
I wouldn't mind if I can also get some reputable members review my post quality and help me make improvements on them
