We can do so much here in the forum by helping one another - a bayanihan(Filipino language term) concept helping one another to achieve a certain goal. We can learn other lanuage as well by helping us translated pur posts in our local boards to another local board crossing board borders. It could be also a great help especially in inquiries to other local boards of their news and current events.
There are other problems as well to solve like the irresponsible bounty hunter. As long as the bounty campaign is ongoing it will resort to some bounty hunters to be irresponsible. Helping the forum towards the ideal forum would be challenging with this kind of problem. This can't be ignore since we did saw @theymos had acted upon this by implementing the rank and merit system. Pretty sure that this shitposting problem is really that big.
However, there are bounty hunters that are responsible enough to follow the rules and regulations especially the high ranks. Low ranks may going to disregard any rules and regulations especially to users that has no chance or little chance in obtaining merits. That is what it should suppose to be that the objectice of the rank and merit system should not defeat its purpose. And these to motivate users to make quality post. I do not know what kind of motivational needed for them to be responsible here in the forum.
Thanks to other users that are helping especially reporting bad posts, the shitposting and copy and paste posts.
did not saw it that way, but still does not make a change
there are local topics here, and interesting topics are usually translated from English to local language, it is not happening that much vice-versa, but prominent members from local forums could do that as well, instead of having another forum, where these responses will be polished and made "better"
for me, it is enough to be understandable, does not have to be "English by the book"
nevertheless, maybe i got wrong, so to clarify, i do support your efforts, but do not see some good at the end for the forum

The idea was for non-English speakers to create and English language topic for the benefit of this forum. Lets take a topic such as the use of Bitcoin to buy groceries in Venezuela. The poster may be a Spanish speaker with minimal English skills, but his local experience could be interesting and useful for Bitcoin Talk members. He would post on the Fit to Talk English forum in Spanish, or his best efforts in English, and a group of us would edit it and optimise it for him. When he was happy with the final post, he would copy it onto a board here, and he would include a reference to the training thread, and this will avoid an accusation of plagiarism. If it was a worthy topic then he would be awarded merits. The ensuing discussion in the Bitcoin Talk forum could be interesting to all of us, and it would help the forum to expand its international interest.
I might try to find a way round this. Let me know if you think it is worth the effort.
first time heard about the project, and it seems to be interesting one, but i do not get the point how you would help posters with their English?
English is not my first language, i actually did not ever learn it throughout my life, but have enough knowledge to do even Business in English, both writing and speaking, and also reading books/articles in English, so it is not that hard, if you want. There is English everywhere around us, you just turn on the TV, and watch any program without subtitle, and it will stick to your mind.
I had learned German and Russian at school, and Hungarian in the course, but could not use it even close to English in everyday life, and do think that it is just because English is everywhere around us, and it is widely used in Travel and Business.
back to subject, do not think that people will learn to speak English, or even write, in a forum IMHO, they need speaking incentive, and there is a bunch of applications that provide that, would mention duolingo, which is free and easy to use, and could help anyone to learn basics of a language, and faster than school or course
long story short, seems like an interesting idea, but i do not see it as successful one, especially if you need much time for administration, it is not worth the effort
I've got getting on for 400 sMerits to award, and it is quite difficult to award them. I don't feel I should award them to boost posters who support my medical opinions, and much the same applies to political comments, although not many people seem to consider that Brexit and the EU tracks back to the Knights Templar. I find it hard to find discussions about Bitcoin at a macro-economic level, and my knowledge of Bitcoin at the mechanical level still leaves a lot to be desired, although I do enjoy reading the help posts, and try to reward some of the knowledgeable posts. This seems to be an area that doesn't receive enough merit. I suppose I'm mildly interested in merit stats, especially where they seem to be going onto boards that I don't feel are the most beneficial for the forum. I need to spend more time learning about stable coins as well.
One of the most important (in my opinion) possibilities for Bitcoin and BitcoinTalk is the improvement in cooperation and association between different classes, cultures and countries, and I would like to do something to increase this. The Fit to Talk English project was one of my attempts to achieve this. It is unfortunate that it started to be hit by spammers, and it ended up tasking up too much time. The domain is blocked by the WiFi at my current location, and I seem to be using the cafe here most days. I might try to find a way round this. Let me know if you think it is worth the effort.

Anecdotally, yes, my experience is also that earned merit drops off once a higher rank is achieved. I was building merit quickly until I hit Hero, at which point it dropped dramatically to roughly 30 per month. I actually think this is a good thing - it suggests that merit-bestowers are focusing their attentions on worthy lower ranked users, those whose contributions have never been noticed or acknowledged.
i think this is partly because everyone used to have so much smerits to give away at the beginning and they did give a lot away too so the circulation was high, consequently people got merits a lot easier. then it slowly dropped as they spent their merits and by that time the post quality had gone up so there were more posts to reward while the "supply" was lower.
i certainly feel this way, for example every day i give 2-3 merits and run out while i find at least 6-7 comments that i could also reward but i've already run out. i even started a give-1-merit-only plan but it didn't help much.
I am so close to legendary but nobody gives me merit anymore even with good posts I understand what you are saying
Just dished out my 2 last sMerits to you. 70 more to go 
You seem to be a regular of collectibles Booard. Not sure if there are any merit sources who frequent there but I think you will get 1000 merits soon.
I must admit, I have been a regular poster but chances of getting merits in some boards is so low even if you make good constructive posts. Maybe the amount of Merits in circulation needs to be upped again.
I have also seen some merits sources go inactive over the past months and yet no new ones have been appointed.
Rewarding 1 merit vs. rewarding 2 or more merits has no difference and both was an act of rewarding something good or great.
Anyway, I am thankful and surprise to think that you find my post undermerited. It is my gratitude to acknowledge the merits you rewarded. My English might be too bad but honestly I am trying. However, I have seen some improvement and that is one of the good thing that happen to me as a person and a user of this forum.

I disagree with you slightly about the amount of merits that get rewarded point. We, lower ranked peeps, are used to giving only 1 merit to posts, as we usually lack merits to give. Giving more merits then 1 to a post has a meaning and use.Some post deserve more merits for various reason which can be for example: Level of knowledge needed to create a certain post, wonderfully constructed post, great poem deserves more merit then a random poem, sheer amount of time a person needed to create a post, if post made you laugh really really hard for me can be worth more merit
So no need to undervalue your contributions, just contribute and people will reward you or not, based on their judgement, elation, satisfaction, laughter and such
So just keep on keeping on m8 and don't stop writing poems ok?

Redirect the love to correcting me when you see my shortcomings. The corrections should come in a constructive manner and not trying to embarrass or attack me. If you come across any of my constructive posts and find them worthy of merits, assuming you intend sending more then 1 just don't. I'm ok with recieving just one knowing fully well there are those who need those merit more than I do.
Right now there's no difference between 1 or 10 merit to me. Receiving just an acknowledgement that my content was helpfully is ok by me. And in a situation you can find other worthy content (most especially in that same thread), in-box me and I'll help you with that.

It's really up to you, the way I see it is if you are mostly posting in the Politics and Society section of the forum and you are not getting any kind of credit with the research you have done and opinion I think demanding for a merit source for that section is the best way for that section to have some smerits flowing. IMO since you are a Bitcoin forum after all there is nothing wrong in being involved in other sections where you think merits are actively being given because chances are there might be some topics in there where your expertise can be squeeze in.
... I've just announced that I am going "Bitcoin only" in accepting payments for domain names in a domainers' forum, and I'll let you guys know how that goes....
Do you mind telling which one?
I have really found the domain market to have going to hell over the last few years for both buying and selling so I walked away and have just been sitting on a lot.
Used to spend time discussing marketing and promotions but since 2017/18 I really found it was a waste of time.

I gave you a few merits. Not really because of that post, but because of your correct use of quoting, and because the few posts of yours that I read seem to be undermerited. Pleased continue to support the forum.
I was not expecting for this and thankful enough for it. The merits will goes to the posts too which I think that has quality or helpful. I never hoard merits and I spend it most of the time. My rewarding attitude is only to give one merit per post. The essense of rewarding merit is not through numbers but through an act how one make something very useful in the forum. Rewarding 1 merit vs. rewarding 2 or more merits has no difference and both was an act of rewarding something good or great.If it happen that you just mistakenly rewarded me that number of merits then you can regret it because there is no option that merit could be taken back after rewarded. LOL. Just Kidding,
Anyway, I am thankful and surprise to think that you find my post undermerited. It is my gratitude to acknowledge the merits you rewarded. My English might be too bad but honestly I am trying. However, I have seen some improvement and that is one of the good thing that happen to me as a person and a user of this forum.
I do mostly disagree with the content of your posts (to the extent that for a long time I thought you had me on ignore),
I don't put people on ignore just because they don't agree with me. I'm interested in so many different things, that I can't be right all of the time.
I ignore people for the misuse of quoting, and for including useless images in non-social threads. That's because it slow down my scanning of the thread. A far rarer reason is when people like Franky resort to personal abuse, rather than logical debate. It shows that they don't have a valid argument, and it isn't worth reading their posts.You don't learn from people agreeing with you. You learn when people submit an opposing or alternative viewpoint, or when they expand on your opinion.
What a struggle it has been to get my last 20 merits to get to my 2,000.
Congratulations! I do mostly disagree with the content of your posts (to the extent that for a long time I thought you had me on ignore), but I always appreciate the threads, and you raise a lot of interesting topics. 2,000 is impressive and gives the rest of us something to aspire to.

However, there are few users here that usually give merits if it is worthy to be awarded in the likes of @CryptopreneurBrainboss, @DdmrDdmr and few other users. In fact, I was able to rank up to full member even though I am not a quality poster. The users merited me probably seeing me as trying hard to contribute posts that could be hepful to which I am really not and was only doing motivational posts to newbie or newcomers in this forum.
Anyway, I slightly agree with you that merits were visible on statistical reports. I somehow stare at it but could not make a reply to participate discussion of that matter maybe because I am not good in Math.
Reaching 2000 merits is no ordinary achievement here in the forum. 1000 merits is enough already to rank up to legendary and there is no rank more than the legendary rank. Btw, congratulations on making it 2000 + merits it is not a usual thing to happen to a certain user here in the forum.
Well a very good morning to all my readers.
Here we are at the start of another week with the monkey faces trying toi stop themselves getting immunity, but I'm starting to repeat myself, so I need to switch to other topics. I find it interesting that reputable surveys are coming round to confirming many of my opinions. The latest ones are about the use of free or low cost vitamin "D", and commenting on the fact that research into itsd benefits has been suppressed in many reports.
Bitcoin is still slipping slightly, and it looks like a good chance for a bit of accumulating. Now that winter drawers on (sic), and breath comes in short pants, I'll try to spend a bit more time here, I'm so far behind with DeFi, and that looks like a really important new trend, and Bitcoin Talk is the ideal place to discuss it.
I don't believe that we need another new rank above legendary, but it would be handy if we could think of some way to verify an honest and reliable reputation. Default Trust goes part way towards this, but it seems more oriented towards good forum behaviour than honest trading. It probably can't be done though while account sales are allowed.
Merit seems to have lost its direction slightly, with large quantities of merit being awarded to the forum statisticians, and not so much being awarded to good discussions, and help for members with crypto difficulties. I'll see if I can do a bit to change this. I've got quite a bit on this week, so it may have to wait until next week. Later today, I have to get rid of a steel balcony for a friend. It's probably not worth the effort from a financial point of view, but I think I need the exercise, as I'm spending too much time sitting in cafes and driving.

Stopping posting in subs you are interested in just because you don't earn merits, well that's kinda counter intuitive.
Thanks for all the kind words, and apologies for being away yesterday. There were some issues involving my 95 year old friend ( she has just had a birthday), and I spent quite a bit of time at her house. She has a neighbour trying intimidate her, and apparently he had her pinned against the wall as he went incandescent, and he was expelling spittle with his venom. I'm not too keen on behaviour like that, so I went up there to give her a bit of support and protection. It's pretty disgusting, as she is a lovely lady, and just wants to live quietly with her cat, and support the wildlife in the woodland she owns. Rich people son't seem to like woodland to be left alone for the wild life, they feel it is a wasted asset, and they try to take it away from elderly people who don't want to live next to a concrete jungle, or an industrial site.
I'll revisit this thread,and comment on some of the ( good ) suggestions later. At the moment I'm researching the government protection laws on tumuli in England.

Everything you wrote makes sense, but I don't see anything wrong for the forum having another rank higher than Legendary. That would certainly be an additional motive for those who cannot progress beyond the current rank at the moment. From a merit distribution perspective, a new rank might have the effect that lower ranks might get less merit - but a good post should always get merit, regardless of rank.
No harm if a new rank appears. It is good because Legendaries have more motivation to post and somewhat increase post quality (from high to higher). Earning merit is a challenge at beginning but then it will be a joy.As I said, even no new rank, I've still enjoyed my climbs on median, and interquartile range (for earned merits).

I agree with Jet Cash that the path to 2000 merits is not easy even for me personally
It is my target and I will try to join the gang before the end of 2020. 
With the average postcount from Legendary members and limited Legendary members with extremely high earned merits as well as median rate of merit earning speed, a new rank is not needed in the near future.

I didn't even know you were posting specifically about health stuff. But anyway, if you like posting about health stuff and if you actually enjoy researching about it, then why stop? We don't really need merits as Legendary members anyway(though I'll admit receiving merits makes me feel good a bit).
Well he don't need merits to rank up because he is already at the highest possible rank and secondly he is not in any signature campaign which requires certain number of merits in the last 120 days.
An ohh Jet Cash, I think there were a few people who find you health posts convenient for themselves, don't stress yourself too much!
You have done so well to attain such merit, I salute those whose merit is above their activities. Everyone at legendary and hero stage deserves an accolades. You love updates on health just as you said , and that's where you have made more impact probably because that's more of your area of higher interest it is easier to generate topics from there but you planned to spread to many other topics which is a good Idea and it will help you study wider.
First of all, congrats to Jet Cash for reaching that big milestone!
I see that conversation slowly slipped towards new rank suggestion, that I honestly think it's not needed (it's true though that I'm just a Sr Member so my pov might be different from the veteran members). I really don't understand why would people want some extra carrot on a stick, instead enjoying their well deserved Legendary rank. Imho, that wouldn't make them any more recognisable or respected on the forum, and all it could cause is make new members to rank up at even slower pace than now, as merit distribution would be somewhat different if all active legendaries suddenly have an extra rank to aim for.

If we take a look at LoyceV's statistics on active users by rank, there have been 477 active users with Legendary rank in the last 7 days, which may not be a completely objective fact if we take into account that the holidays are still going on, and that some members are taking a break from the forum.
Please check:- Top posters last 7 days and ratio of earned merit/ post
- Weekly earned merits (median) of top 100 merited users
With the average postcount from Legendary members and limited Legendary members with extremely high earned merits as well as median rate of merit earning speed, a new rank is not needed in the near future.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying as a whole here, but I really wish Theymos would add a rank above Legendary (or restructure the ranking system entirely--a complete overhaul wouldn't be too bad IMO). Then again, I've said this before: the number of Legendary members is probably going to shrink over time, as older ones drop out via attrition and new ones are made at an extremely low rate. In a few years, you might not see a lot of Legendaries posting on bitcointalk, but we'll see.
Maybe another rank is not a bad idea, it's just a question of what conditions to set for it - how much activity and how many merits would be appropriate for such rank? There is no doubt that the number of Legendary members (active ones) will decline over time for a variety of reasons - and it is also evident that only exceptional individuals can collect 1000 merits within a reasonable time.

I would deny the idea of another rank above Legendary. Currently it is very difficult to rank up if you start fresh from Newbie and getting to legendary is like a dream. Any rank above it will not make much sense in the current scenario.

Even lower ranks feel good when receiving merits like me when I got my merits few days ago. It may be true merits is not much use for legendary rank but merit doesn't have a rank barrier where you should only send merit to hero member rank and lower but it's not. Merit is for everyone who created a thread that is helpful and as what FIFA worldcup mentioned about merit within 120 days requirement to join signature campaigns so legendary rank are no exception.It is always good to get merits because it shows the love for the people. The more merits a user gets it means more people like his posts. I am happy for him to reach 2000 merits which is a great achievement.
Congratulations Jet Cash
What a struggle it has been to get my last 20 merits to get to my 2,000.
First of all, big congrats!
I feel you, but we both know that there are better and "slower" periods on merits. Last month seemed ..."slower". Maybe because of holidays too? I don't know.
But a lot of people will still merit a lower rank easier than a legendary because those need the merit points more. And it's OK.
I think that the only conclusion is: we still need much more merit sources.

Well he don't need merits to rank up because he is already at the highest possible rank and secondly he is not in any signature campaign which requires certain number of merits in the last 120 days.
He is posting good stuff about health and those who are interested follow his posts and may never look how many merits he is getting for his posts.
I think quite a lot came from my fit to talk and other projects,and I became a bit disenchanted with those. The blogs and forums were getting a lot of spam, and very sporadic support. I wouldn't mind reviving Fit to Talk and the Crypto Coin Tree. The lock downs changed a few things for me, and I decided to move further into off grid living. It is a far healthier life style, but I need to install a couple if solar panels to generate my own electricity. Maybe I could use those to power that ASIC miner that I was given, that is if I can find what I did with it.
Where ever it cam from -it. Should/must have been deserving- you are very much active in -serious discussion, ivory tower- board, and this board has less traffic/attention - which should not be - is it because of signature are not shown?. Having your opinion -even if it doesn't tally with people 's opinion- is character, it might make you look -stubborn/grumpy-. I think the value wasn't measured or appreciated in merit, but for those who saw it -the post- and something new got known. I meant to say that either we need to have one more rank above the legendary or the legendaries should not care about their merit counts anymore to overcome such feelings.If we didn't implement the merit system then by now we might have more legendaries than member and newbies, so the merit system is working but may need a tweak in this particular case but only theymos can decide what can be done.
I don't really think of a new rank. It seems to be unnecessary (for me at least). I have been in the forum since 2017, not long enough compare to other old-era Legendaries but I can realize most of Legendaries on the forum. It is a kind of Recognition Badge that is enough.My joy is fighting for my unofficial position in top ratings:
- Most Merit (includes initial merit) -- BPIP
- Weekly earned merits (median) of top 100 merited users
- Ratings for median and interquartile range of weekly earned merits
More important: Merits, rank don't reflect exactly who you are and level of your contribution on the forum.
Sometimes I had such thoughts as well, some legendaries are not receiving enough merits just because they had no more rank to reach so it is important to add one more rank to bring the race towards merits or legendaries should not worry about their merits anymore just be themselves forever?!

In a few years, you might not see a lot of Legendaries posting on bitcointalk, but we'll see.I think I use some of the threads and posts as an alternative bit of social interaction. Sometimes I spend quite long hours on the computer, and it makes a nice break. Often if I visit people, they seem to have the TV on all the time, and it isn't very often that there is anything interesting on there. Then I might get involved in researching things like the Knights Templar, and their subsequent evolution into controlling the EU and the UK amongst other countries. It's quite difficult to introduce that into a social conversation, as most people don't seem to go much further than talking about Trump's hairstyle or similar topics of world shattering importance. They also seem to be more concerned with the colour and decoration of their face masks, rather than their efficacy.
I stopped watching tv 8-9 years ago and I feel the same about it like you. I purposely turn the tv if it is on in my living room when I have people coming. I hate when I talk to people and they are half listening, half watching tv and not really engaged into a conversation. Naturally in that kind of environment and that type of people you can't hope to have a proper meaningful conversation, let alone reach topics like Templar Knights and such.
My bubble of friends has shrinked to one hand in the last 5 years especially and to be honest it feels much better that way. You don't waste energy on zombies and energy vampires, focus more on yourself and talk only when you really want to. No more listening to shit about daily stuff that is spoon fed to regular Joe's.
Also on the antipharma aspect, I think a lot of drugs are overprescribed or cause other problems.
Oh, I'd love to discuss that--but I'm not a member of this forum to chat with people about those sorts of issues. I'm here to talk and learn about bitcoin (and crypto in general). Unfortunately I spend so much time on bitcointalk that I don't think I'd have much time left to contribute to even one other forum. Oh well.Sometimes I had such thoughts as well, some legendaries are not receiving enough merits just because they had no more rank to reach so it is important to add one more rank to bring the race towards merits or legendaries should not worry about their merits anymore just be themselves forever?!

Jet cash doesn't need merits to get recognized, avatar is more than enough.

I don't think it matters anyways. There's no use to merits other than you sharing it to others. I'd honestly just tell you to post where you feel comfortable with, don't worry about merit, you're doing just fine even without it.
As someone who doesn't receive merit alot, it doesn't affect me at all, so just you do you fam.

I've made some random topics round here in the past (most on serious and ivory) - I remebmer a few chemistry topics and one on wind speeds.
I'm the same with the TV thing, I don't really unserstand leaving it on in the background but I know a lot of poeple do.
You're better off mading spontaneous topics and just leaving them where they are - even if theyre' not of interest now someone will probably comment something at some point.
There are no rules outside of the mining boards against making topics that are of a similar nation (but aren'tt he same in a material aspect).
Also on the antipharma aspect, I think a lot of drugs are overprescribed or cause other problems. I saw a ted talk on statins a while back that looked interesting but didn't look further into it, also knowing people from a clinical psychology background it seems some conditions are over diagnosed (but I wouldn't want to comment much on that because most are meant to be on medication - it's a slim majority though who get an accurate diagnosis).
Maybe I will just slip in a few Knights Templar and the origins of Unicorns threads on the way.
Do whatever feels right to you, Jet Cash--I always enjoy reading your posts regardless of what they're about.And yeah, I've slowed down a lot on the merit-earning myself, but I don't care one whit. If there was a rank above Legendary that I could be striving for, then I might be more interested in earning them but there isn't. Nor am I trying to compete with anyone else with respect to merits. In fact, I'd prefer someone give a lower-ranked member some merits instead of me if it came down to a choice between the two.
I for one do agree with a lot of your personal points of view concerning the Covid hype. It's just that I don't see any reason why I would come to the Bitcointalk forum to discuss other stuff except for crypto stuff.
All of that stuff--COVID-19, the upcoming US election, and everything aside from bitcoin or altcoins should be relegated to the Off-Topic and P&S sections. I don't post in Ivory Tower or Serious Discussion, because the crypto discussions there are usually over my head and everything else is non-crypto stuff that I don't care to share my opinions about.

(...) I suspect that most members discredit the personal research that I have done into various health issues.
I for one do agree with a lot of your personal points of view concerning the Covid hype. It's just that I don't see any reason why I would come to the Bitcointalk forum to discuss other stuff except for crypto stuff. I see the Serious and Ivory boards also as boards where crypto stuff can be debated with people who at least try to read the whole thread and do not spam or post one-liners. It's why I post my judicial topics in there, otherwise they are spammed to off-topicness within hours. I do not see these boards as "Off-Topic for high leveled members" and I think some of the subjects you post about in Serious and Ivory are imho off-topic. Do not be offended plz, because "off-topic" is in no way synonymous of "low-quality", and I'd never claim for a second that your posts are of low quality. It's just that they are not about crypto directly (but maybe they are indirectly).
Anyway, congratz with your impressive Merit level - and if you're in lack of love with 2000+ Merits, then how do I (and others) have to feel about having "only" 400+ Merit?
. I'm quite sure that you're getting all the love you need. Let people disagree with you from time to time. You won't be receiving Merits for certain points of view, but at least you'll keep the debating flame burning, and that's what this forum is all about.
I think quite a lot came from my fit to talk and other projects,and I became a bit disenchanted with those. The blogs and forums were getting a lot of spam, and very sporadic support. I wouldn't mind reviving Fit to Talk and the Crypto Coin Tree. The lock downs changed a few things for me, and I decided to move further into off grid living. It is a far healthier life style, but I need to install a couple if solar panels to generate my own electricity. Maybe I could use those to power that ASIC miner that I was given, that is if I can find what I did with it.
It is my congratulations for you JetCash!
Data is newest Friday merit data dump (hours ago).
From the weekly merit plot, I see a decrease since (second quarter, maybe) 2019 so I guess you are more actively posting in 2018 that reflects on your earned merits in that year.

Thanks for the kind words, and I did only get 500 merits in the air drop. 1,500 is pretty small beer when compared with the statisticians here.
I'm actually not too keen on John Campbell. I think John Bergman is far more useful when it comes to natural health issues, but he is anti-vax and anti-Pharma, so he gets demoted quite a lot. The Irishman, Ivor Cummins ( the Fat Emperor) interviews some very interesting and unusual medical people.

I didn't even know you were posting specifically about health stuff. But anyway, if you like posting about health stuff and if you actually enjoy researching about it, then why stop? We don't really need merits as Legendary members anyway(though I'll admit receiving merits makes me feel good a bit).
I suspect that most members discredit the personal research that I have done into various health issues.
I may disagree with some of your opinions on health issues but I have also gotten lots of helpful information; for one, I got connected to Dr. John Campbell's YouTube channel through your threads, and it has been a great resource for useful content related to global health situations.Congrats on your merit achievement. Your contributions would be valuable whichever board you stick to.
Does this mean you're up 1500 merits since the systems introduction?
I'd say that's pretty impressive. I'm normally targeting "curious newbies" and people on the tech boards so I'm probably guilty of not being fair to some legendafies in my merit dispursements.
And meh on the health research stuff. Everyone gets an opinion and to make their own decisions when it comes to their health. Your autonomy rights are protected by law.

What a struggle it has been to get my last 20 merits to get to my 2,000. Well, I guess I didn't really try too hard, as I wasn't posting in the merit earning threads. Merits are a recognition that a poster's opinions are of benefit to the forum, and I suspect that most members discredit the personal research that I have done into various health issues. But then, this is a Bitcoin and crypto forum, so I should really be contributing in those topics. I've just announced that I am going "Bitcoin only" in accepting payments for domain names in a domainers' forum, and I'll let you guys know how that goes.
Now the question is - can I behave myself, and stick to Crypto and economics. Maybe I will just slip in a few Knights Templar and the origins of Unicorns threads on the way.
