Topic: {LIST}of the Merit Sources asking for more smerit. New Round. - page 7. (Read 6725 times)

Np... you send merit where it’s needed

I'm not sure if theymos will do such a thing, but if you think a post deserves merit you can list it here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/self-moderated-report-unmerited-good-posts-to-merit-source-5093271

The last days when I was so dry, I had a Meirt source with some extra merit on a speed dial, thank to him those who deserved to get merit, got it.
I just want to thank this guy who helped me, I'll keep his name in private

@El duderino_  thanks for the injection Looks like we should start rioting to get our boss's attention o_0 /jk

 I am not merit source and I would not apply to become "that".

 I just want a little pack of sMerits, 50 or 100, (in the reality I'm near 0) and I get frustrated sometimes to not be able to merit some posts that deserves.


 So can you include me on the list, so who know, I get my little pack of sMerits

Bumping it seems like no help here. I'm out of smeirt for quite some time now, maybe a week, well i'm not a source yet and I'm mostly reading the last weeks but again sometimes I see something worth meriting and it's so easy to just to click and send instead of bookmarking the post and remembering to check it later or bother other people to do it, I even started "begging" and ask people to merit posts from me

An xxx% increase something like last time would be good for me 

You just reminded me of a PM I wrote back in October (to a peer forum member):
Complicates things a bit, and you need to determine the weights that you give to each possible combined variable, but playing around with some idea of broadness may be interesting.

My wild guess: source merit allocation will take into account the amount of users a given source merit has merited in the last ~6 months, and perhaps it will also take into account the variety of boards of the merited posts.

Yes... nice to hear your direct report, Greg....

I am sure that Theymos likes to have a bit of flexibility, but I have observed that he does seem to be a bit of a stickler regarding some timeline things, too... maybe he keeps track if he had said that he was going to do something and in those circumstances, he tries to meet the timeline that he announced, which is fair enough.

Surely, some previous merit sources got reduced in their source the last time around, so for sure, theymos had seemed to had made a pretty large reallocation and even quite generous with the amount of increase that he had provided to those who were regularly using their merit sources, which was nearly a doubling in the amount in a lot of circumstances for those who had been regularly using their smerit sources, and I also noticed a few members who received really large initial smerit allocations when they had been initially assigned as sources.  

Perhaps theymos was conducting a little experiment on us, in terms of trying to observe what would happen in such increased source smerit allocation circumstances?  I will admit for me, I had to largely get used to doubling the amount of smerits that I had been sending out, which took a bit of time to get used to, even though I did have some advantage of my own past practices of already attempting to exhaust my previous allocation amounts as they came in (or were replenished).

Sure, it will be interesting to see what kind of formula that theymos comes up with in any coming announced update, and based on your finding out that he will "be updating it again," maybe we can speculate that to be a kind of soon^tm proclamation, which is not always within two weeks^tm, even though we happen to be in a subset of bitcoinlandia.

Maybe speculating that such source smerit adjustment might come at any moment could end up including another few more months of wait time for theymos to contemplate and maybe collect data regarding the matter, but of course, I would not be surprise to have a change sprung upon us at any moment.  

Brace self!!!



Ps: By the way, I recall one of the earlier times that theymos had readjusted the smerit source allocations (at least mine was then reallocated), and I had gotten 12smerits removed from my smerit source allocation, because I had not used those smerits before the change went into effect (surely a surprise for me, and probably others too), and those 12 unused source smerits had been replaced by an increased smerit allocation that pretty much started the month of smerit source balance over with a new smerit source balance. 

On that day (or maybe the next day), I sent a pm to theymos and wrote paraphrasing: "what's up like that with my loss of 12 smerits in my source?"  He responded:  paraphrasing:  "you snooze, you lose" hahahahaha.... 

Surely, my smerit source allocation was not detrimentally impacted by the rebalancing and the loss of those 12 smerit in the source because the new allotment of smerits in my source had been increased in terms of the monthly smerit source amount.  Nonetheless, I do understand when a change of the smerit source amount goes into effect, the rebalancing might wipe out some of the previous balance of smerits in your smerit source bank.  So there is that angle, too.

I'm also almost always out, and the Turkish local very recently lost a big merit source,

so a sMerit increase can be great, I would like to be included in this list.

Merit increase bump

Would be handy

Will update the OP tomorrow

Updated as promised

oK, you can add me to this list as well 
In fact, I have a very limited number of merits available and I try to be as frugal as possible, so they don’t go too fast for me 
I mostly share merits in the Croatian section, where local members can report their quality posts and ask merits, and I also share merits in the English part of the forum, if something remains 

Thanks!

I am not very active lately(mostly reading) but I log in to send merits and post some crap and 2 days ago I didn't have any to send (merit I mean, not crap)  I had several bookmarked posts but it sucks when merit source is not able to send merits and has to wait...

I will also send PM to another merit source in our local board to see how is he doing with merits and perhaps invite him to this topic.

0 + 0 = 0

An increase would be useful 

Thx in advance

Updated


I have nothing against you, i just don't trust your judgment, adding everyone to the trust list is making the thrust lists useless. The trust system can have some small issues, but no system is perfect for everyone after all and i do admire the way theymos came up with the idea.

I do not follow or participate in any gang except for the SpamBusters.

I am so much in need these days to that I had to PM theymos and  since then still waiting for the captain to approve my request :-D

Good luck everyone.

I think I got you wrong
you are sweet but you have no difference from the gang

returned.

That's a good news, thanks we've waited so long, a few more days won't be a problem.

I nagged back on the 4th, 10 days ahead of the 6 month intervals. Theymos indicated that he would be updating it again, but also indicated he'd be doing it differently than last time.

Where did you got that reference from?

The 6 months one I got from >


BTW today is exaclty 6 months ...
