Chill guys, it is me again, athan88, if you enter this thread please read until the end before doing anything.
As i said chill, what i mean was "Lets Break Up The QuestionAuthority Merits Giving Activity" as He/She/It is the most generous merit giver right now.
As we know,
Measurement
Entity of
Readable and
Interesting/
Intelectual
Talks (that is how i see MERIT in case you cant see my bolded letter) was implemented on 24 January 2018 (or 25 January 2018 i forgot) and the implementation brings a lot of feelings ( you can see how people feels about merit in my topic
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28909933) , actions, and new threads on meta section. Some of members think it as a positive solution and some think otherwise. There are lot of members who think they wont get merit easily, yes of course it wont be easy but it is not an impossible task too. So with this statistics that i got from looking and gathering data from QuestionAuthority merit page, i hope it can change their perspective to be more positive into this merit system, as this system just only running for about 2 weeks 3 days. So lets look into it.
(Statistics made based on QuestionAuthority merit page, February 14, 2018, 10:06:25 AM)

If you want the numbers of merit per rank that has been given by QuestionAuthority, here it is :
Newbie : 3 merits Full Member : 328 merits
Jr. Member : 13 merits Senior Member : 147 merits
Member : 86 merits Hero Member : 303 merits Total : 907 merits

So from this two statistic of QuestionAuthority merit activity, i (and you can too) can conclude some things like :
1. Merit is given to all ranks, even though the Newbie and Jr. Member doesnt get a lot, they dont need merit too much in the early time ( newbie --> jr.member doesnt need merit, Jr.member --> Member only needs 10) , and look at member ranks, it starts to get a lot of merit, and so on for the next rank and it decrease again in legendary rank. I conclude that this is the great pattern for merit distribution, because each rank needs different merits to rank up.
2. Merit is given to not only in popular and special board. Bitcoin discussion is the top board that this person/bot
![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
gives merits at. Invites and Account at second because QuestionAuthority made a thread for rewarding a good poster, but He/She/It gives merit to the merit request post instead of giving merit to the post which the link has been given by the requester. I guess this kind of thread can help worthy people to rank up, you can join His/Her/Its thread at
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-system-upgrade-28275963. If you look closely, people have their own active time to give merit, so if you want to increase the chances of getting merit, try to make a good post on their active time.
So, with this statistic, do you guys still feel the sMerit is not given accurately? I know that QuestionAuthority is the number 1 giver right now and not all people are like him/her/this bot
![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
, but later people will be at his position and this man/woman/bot
![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
will even give a lot more, merit will always be dynamic object, and of course the number distributed will be increasing in the future, give it time (its not even 3 weeks) and better stop whining and start increasing our quality so the potential merit giver acknowledge our posts.
I dont know if QuestionAuthority do it intentionally or not, but the best thing to adopt from this statistic for all people that can give merits is the giving pattern based on people rank, and i hope people can adopt the pattern.
Feel free to comment and discuss about it below. Thanks guys !
