1) Success for the forum.
2) Failure for shit posters.
3) Motivation for members with positive attitude.
Topic: Is new merit system really success ? - page 2. (Read 413 times)
It is not really matter wither merit system will be a success, the point here is to participate in bitcoin discussion and developmnt of this system. But merit system plays a big role in this forum, by this system users are aiming merits by making their post resourceful and useful. And also, this system prevents those retard posters or we just say shitposters which is the big problem here in Bitcointalk.
I really don't have problems with this merit system. Shit posting and greedy bounty hunters are really annoying that it has to be addressed. The forum is supposed to be for learning and meaningful posts. I am actually here in order to update and read some rumors and comments on the coins the I am trading and holding. I don't even care if I will remain a Senior forever as long as the forum remains clean.
your account has ranked that is safe if you agree if your account is still a newbie 
Yes, rank is meaningless to me. If you check the date I registered you'll work out that I would easily be Legendary in rank by now if I had been interested to do so. You can also see that my posts have been awarded 103 merit points in the 26 days since the merit system was introduced. That means the system wouldn't have made any difference to my rank if it had always been there anyway, as that's a lot quicker than activity could be gained.
The only reason to care about rank is if you are here primarily to earn money for posting. I'm getting paid for my signature right now but I see that as a bonus, not a reason to be here.
Ooopps..!
I think there's something missing a very important things.
You know what? I guees you couldn't say that, if merit was not implemented. Also you couldn't realized what the important role of merit and ranks if theres no merit.
No, I absolutely could and would say that regardless.

Its too early to say that it is successful but as far as i can see many member of this forum are now trying to post more constructive to gain merit and they able to rank up their account. Even their priority is to rank up to join in signature campaign the important for now is they are now more competitive member than before. I can say since merit system was launched it was decrease the shit post and spammer because those member are now trying to make quality post to achieved their aim in this forum and by posting good quality will gives positive to the forum.
In bitcointalk forum there are really good posts even that does not earn atleast single point of merits.and there are many spam and off topic posts that earn bunch of merits.
And even some forum users does not give merits for quality posts and they share merits with only there friends for some shit posts
Some forum users who tried to make quality posts are now demotivate with this situation

Give it some time. I am waiting for the time when all the account farmers have used their default sMerits. We will see major impact thereafter.
To be honest, As I see it the merit system is still work in progress, a dry-run in which the mods or the admins are trying to enhance not only the forum but also the people in this community. This merit system like as said by some has its flaw/s especially in giving merits, Well not all can appreciate a good post/s (it's given). But the idea of the system is relatively great since it helps not only to prevent others to spam the forum but also to enhance or the maximize the potential of each and everyone here in the community in terms of understanding the industry and doing constructive posts.
Let's just see this system as a tool and not as a punishment. It will benefit us in the long run, especially in using the English language.

Of course, they will not do that system if it will not be a success. The merit system is not just for newbie, it is also for somebody who are in the field of bitcointalk especially for still spamming. These system administrators are very strict because they are lagging behind the shit posters and those who breakdown against the merit system. We are all capable of spreading merit but do not abuse this system and do punishment for violating its rules.
I see a lot that the merit gives her a friend of herself instead of someone else
How do you know that? It is quite interesting that you said something like this.
Even if what you said is true, i guess it is fine as long as they have a decent post to be merited.

too fast to judge about the merit system that much in question now.
because it is still being discussed by many parties related to the negative and positive of merit system.
Merit system is enforced with the aim of reducing spammers, but this makes newbie always ask about this merit system. In addition, many new topics are created just to get merit, this causes spam to occur anywhere. I think this merit system has not worked.

Why does merit matter to you? If you came to this forum to learn about Bitcoin, participate in discussions and just get involved, then it really shouldn't make any difference to you.
the quality of posts will be more appreciated by the merit to think daan get involved in this forum not just looking for profit ..
I agree with this system for various reasons
improving post quality, rewarding good post, avoiding bad posts, becoming more grown up with new systems

While reading some informations about merit system, it is the best thing that theymos do for our forum. The purpose of it is not only for dissolving some shitposts and nonsense topics in our forum. Theymos really wants newbies/jr. members/members to be more powerful for having more information in just a rank of this. Growing up that is trained in this kind of method, posting some quality and informative post which really helps our forum.
Regarding about sharing merits with friends, time will come when their sMerits become zero they are not eligible now for giving merits unless they receive merits too when they post something good.

You know just trust the new system implemented by the administrator,whenever there is a new implementation both sides are affected but the good ones always understand the situation.
I believe this was imposed just to teach everyone specially the new comers to become aware and avoid themselves to create shitposts. Just choose to have a good feeling if you are making a good post for you are part of the solution and not on the side of problem makers. It is to early to say anything that is let us calm down and wait for the next changes.
