The rate of success that has been achieved with the merit system since introduction is higher when compared to the rate of wrong usage of it, and never expect it to work 100% in the sense that no matter how good a system is, so far, there are humans involved, there is always a small percentage chance that they'll tend to abuse it, and it will seem to be the system's fault and that's just the fact with your view about the system right now, so for me there is nothing the merit system has to do with this shit posting.

Lastly, despite the fact that the ranking system makes it seem like the higher rank members are more experienced in the forum, pay more attention to the quality of information they spread or covey.

Goodnight, ohh Leo!!! 🦅
You're entitled to what you believe when you read through the forum ...I can't assure anyone about having 100% authenticity of everything they read in here... It's imperative that you make wider research on your findings in here as that can broaden your initials on the said subject and deduce the tendency of misinformation.
It ain't got nothing to do with the merit system though, I understand how you may be thinking.

Legendary members spread completely fake information - merit system do not work. For example - this thread in Off-topic section - FENBENDAZOLE and CANCER – at least 12 anti-cancer mechanisms of action..
First of all, this legendary member with more than 1350 merits can try to get the medicine degree, before spreading complete fake information in the forum about cancer. For example, fenbendazole from the thread &  webpage is anthelmintic drug used for animals - sheep, cattle, horses, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits, etc., not for humans. Cancer is very serious disease, and everyone need to seek doctor advice as fast as possible. And if there is some medicine, which can help, there are clinical trials and official recognition, not just webpage or legendary member, which advertise something fake.
All this is evidence that merit system do not work and is useless.
Anthelmintic - drug against various internal parasites & worms - see here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthelmintic

Let me first understand what you really want to say? Please correct if I misunderstood, so your main points are:

- Fenbendazole is not for humans and it's used for animals?
- Legendary members spread fake information
- Meri system don't work

Ok so now I must read what BADecker is saying in topic?

- Potential use of Fenbendazole and Ivermectin, as a combined treatment for cancer
- BADecker questioning why there's no more medical research and investigation into this potential treatment
- Fenbendazole is not approved by the FDA
- Benzimidazole have been used for many years to treat parasitic infections in humans and livestock.

Now your main Subject Legendary Members Spread Completely Fake Information - Merit System Do Not Work

How is this all related to Legendary Members and Merit System, you must confusing or mixing some other topic or points with this. right? Anyway I will ignore these but they have nothing to do with your post or his posts.

Ok I see your point or rather let say a claim is Fenbendazole is not safe and is not for human but you didn't provide any proof or source for you claim.

I would say to me the the poster (BADecker) didn't try to promote a drug at all, he just put some references and links that suggest or rather questioning why there is no medical testing about these two drugs as a combination for a cancer treatment.

You only gave one example of one topic and one legendary member. There are many other legendary members in this forum who dedicate their time to only sharing correct information and not involving themselves in discussions that they do not know much about. The number of these kind of legendary members far outnumber the unconcerned ones sharing wrong information and talking on topics where they have little knowledge.

It is possible the merits were gotten from other topics and discussions where they shared correct information that was helpful.

Don't judge all the legendary members and fault the merit system based on the actions of one legendary ranked member.

How one usage their sMerit is completely up to them. You cannot say merit system is useless based on some fake threads. Member rank and merits is two different thing. And being legendary doesn't mean you are all known. A simple sr or hero member can know more then a legendary member. If you think, someone is spreading fake news, then report that to the moderator. I'm sure they will take action. You don't need to create a thread for this. Don't just blame the whole merit system for one man's deed. I'm sure you understand what I mean.

Rank does not depend on a person giving information or giving sound advice. Because I saw in forum rules that merit system has come since 2017. But in the past he has improved in rank based on posts. So I want to say that I am a new member so I can't give proper advice of course (everyone wants to give proper information you can also). But the information I give must be expressed by you, so if there is a mistake here, other people must correct it. Because I don't see any argument that a person of high status should give correct information. Because later those who have registered in this forum must be knowledgeable otherwise they could not have improved their rank. If you also publish information contrary to what a person would provide then of course the unique audience will judge which is correct and those in high status positions like moderators, DT1, DT2, and unique know-how must keep in monitoring.

The merit systems works, we see less crap on the forum because of the merit system. Prior to the introduction of the merit system, anyone could build their account to legendary rank without doing any real work or make any positive contribution. They could just jargons and rank up, some high rank accounts of today are from the old system and the owners may not be as knowledgeable on bitcoin as the rank suggests. In this case, the user made the post in off topic board, I rarely visit there because it has nothing to do with bitcoin. You shouldn’t be so worked up about it, an expert in bitcoin could also be a noob in medicine or politics. 

yeah it is less than perfect but I estimate it reduced crap by at least 50%.

Trying to let free speech flourish is hard to do.  That's why keeping guys like bedecked around is fine with me.  And turnabout is fair play calling him a legendary troll would be free speech right back at him. Grin

back in the day the ignore button under a users name would glow bright yellow when that user was ignored by members.. the more people that ignored them the brighter the word ignore glowed.

so bring it back. it did serve a purpose, like warning unwary people that that person is likely a nutter. might help in matters like this.
This is the first time I am hearing of this. It seems like a very easy way to tell people that many other users find posts by someone upsetting and chose not to see them; you might want to consider doing so after going through their posts.

I really do not understand why such a feature will be removed. I understand there is a desire by the admins to not want to create prejudice around certain users like with the trust display, so it does not change the public perception of them. But at some point we have to stop prioritizing the feelings of the trolls or scammers.

Ranks, Merits and Trust systems are of the forum and always inferred, don’t have a direct subjectiveness to it but, remains objective based on users perspective and taking too much to it would be you getting yourself in deep shit.

I get it that, it raises concern when your labeled in ways that aren’t very connotative of what actually is but, get off the forum and you would feel alive in every way.

A ranked user on the forum saying something that is basically untrue to you and then you using that to cramp every other ranked user as a bunch in this crap don’t make any sense. More over, from BADecker who is more is more religious than the rest of us. I can almost argue that BADecker doesn’t believe in science especially, the biological science and having the user here taking a page from the medical field, you can expect some out of the ordinary statements.

Good thing your familiar with the drug and seems to know what your saying so a lot could be corrected.

Using what someone says as a variable to contradict the "merit system", for me, I think is a very wrong approach, and most especially when it doesn't have to do with Bitcoin-related discussion, because though the fact that this user might have been knowledgeable with Bitcoin discussion on this forum which aided his/her growth and later in the future shared a false information about "Cancer" which he/she has little or no knowledge, that doesn't generalize the fact that the merit system is useless, as it did helped differentiate between shit posters and quality posters, and great forum contributor by the amount of merit he/she has.

Hah, first time I hear about this. When exactly was removed, and why? Not sure that would help though as people have issues using ignore button and on top of that members like BADecker would wear it like a badge of honor.

Theymos will say something about not impeding free speech, that it's easy to abuse and will not bring it back just like the scammer tag or the newbie jail, not going to happen.

That is not bad, but come on BADecker has some brilliant threads 🧵 .
He makes the actor in that movie conspiracies look tame.

If you think that's brilliant:
NSA, CIA, IRS, DHS, ATF, FBI, GCHQ, Federal Reserve, ISIS are Terrorists
Ongoing Civil War in U.S.A. corporation
Warren Buffet is a high level luciferian

Badecker is just an amateur compared to Tom.
And every single one of those topics shows why we must continue to allow unlimited free speech on this forum no matter what drugs the user in question is on! /s

No Tom has far much could be true in some of his threads 🧵.

Badecker and notBatman are way more out there.

At op good work you spotted one of the forum’s nuttiest people.

NotBatman had a crazy flat earth thread going for a long time.

@OP there's no correlation between merit and someone else brain, that's why everyone in this forum shouldn't underestimate or think a newbie is dumb and at the same time think high ranked member has a high knowledge.

Some users usually leave a neutral feedback when the user is troll or can harm the forum, in this case many people already left it to BA Decker's profile.

This is new for me, it looks good if the forum have such feature.

Do I understand you correctly, that if on a medical forum someone starts talking off-topic about some nonsense about string theory or black holes, which will be completely inconsistent with scientific ideas about this, then such a person's medical degree should be immediately taken away? I am not a doctor and do not intend to understand the medical aspects of this issue. But we are on a forum about Bitcoin, and it is strange to expect from those present here that they will all be well versed in medicine, the principles of the Roman legions, Victorian poetry and the work of the hadron collider.

I’m not even sure that all those who have reached the Legendary rank on the forum necessarily have deep knowledge in any aspect of Bitcoin and will be able, for example, to write the same code from scratch on their own, based on the data they already have. Is all this really required? As has been written repeatedly, the merits were introduced not to assess the level of knowledge in medicine, but to ensure that there was less spam on the forum.

We're just talking about forum ranks. If anyone expects Legendary rank to be some kind of degree in science, I would say that is simply a misconception of what forum ranks are.

Calm down and use an ice block to cool your nerves. Finding faults in people's posts is your speciality instead of sharing value but that can't work on me unless you don't know what you are even saying.

You jumped like someone getting raped by a hedgehog the moment I told you to actually look at what that member is posting and you talk about cooling down?  Grin

For your information, your posts are full of faults too, I see them often, but I don't have time to tackle you when I have better things to do with my time.

Oh yeah, I'm sure of that Your Highness!

Care to look at the excerpt from the OP below?

No, I don't care! I asked you what BADecker has done good for the forum, you got triggered to level 100 because you just realized you don't have a clue what we're talking about here and started with your generalistic bs. You know what a discussion forum is? You discuss things and not only answer the question in the title, so if you come and say something be ready to have that discussed by other members who don't agree with it.

can't work on me

I see it works, check your temperature!
But don't take fenbendazole, doesn't work, trust me!  Wink

I quite understand your plight, but for only the misinformation, such a member could be corrected and warned. But you can't outrightly overlook all the good work of a member due to that, it might be a mistake this time.

Ok, I just have to ask, what good work has BADecker done on this forum?
Care to share some examples? Grabbing popcorn as I imagine your face when you actually read his posts!

The OP generalized things for legendaries and faulted the merit system before giving an example, right? Did my post exonerate BADecker or did I ever mention the name? I generalize my post for legendary ranks. Don't blame people for what you don't understand. Now, we see who is "grabbing popcorn as I imagine your face when you actually read his(my) posts!."
