Topic: MERIT - page 2. (Read 426 times)

Eh? What? Another Merit topic? I've been out for almost 1 week due to busyness but what will I witness is people here are still making nonsense thread about Merits Why you guys can't just accept how the Merit System works. Can't you get over? Looks like it will take forever before these guys understands what and how Merit works.

Ooops. Looks like you made Sir Jet mad, get lost kid while you still have a chance, and remember, Never come back.

Yeah, I think all sections are accessible by newbies but there are some sections here in the forum which restricts newbies to post. Like Ivory Tower. If I'm not mistaken there are some sections where Stuffs are only allowed.

I would rather buy and Big Mac instead of buying merits... btw why you want to BUY merits? To rank up right... and why you want to rank up?

This forum is open for all no restriction on newcomer or a Hero Member. There are no designated sections for high rank members where newbies can't access.

Only thing which attracts high ranks is bogus and fraudulent signature campaigns (trust me not all but most them are scams) they pay high number to higher profile ranks... that's what Bitcointalk want to minimize.

I don't think of of any other reason behind this merit system and I don't see any bad intention of theymos who is managing this community in best possible way.

What type of care you talking about? Tell me which area of the forum you can't access?

Nope, no for your suggestion. As "good" and "great" is based on person's subjectivity, you can not force someone to give you merits. Try to analyze all the good posts that is meritted by people, you can find it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=toptopicsat
And i suggest you look into other member posts like nullius, ddmrddmr, me (hehe), etc, and do the analyze of their posts.

Quoted! yay... Jet Cash finally came over to the darkside

I'm getting fed up with all this crap about merits being bought. I don't sell merit or trade it, and I'm sure I'm not the only member that has the same policy.

If you don't like the merit system, then you know what to do - FUCK OFF.

This is probably the first time I have sworn in this forum, and I hope that all you whingeing scammers will take the hint.

At the forum, no one cares about newcomer. If you want to get credit, develop and learn the cryptocurrency. Everything has its time.

While I don't necessarily agree with your suggestions I agree the merit system seems flawed. I've been on this forum for quite some time with no merit. It also strikes me as hypocritical when members with lots of Merit post negative comments saying people just want to rank up for sig campaigns...while themselves being personally involved in a sig campaign.
Where did the original merit come from? Were the hero/snr/legendary members allocated merit at some point. Merit's are rarely given out and seem to be all in the hands of high ranking members.
And if merit is being sold then that points to a system not working as it should.

I have seen this claim elsewhere as well, and I don't understand it. Beginners can participate on the forum just fine without ever having to earn a single merit. What's difficult about that?

I agree with you that on the one hand it protects the forum from unnecessary spam, but on the other hand it really makes life difficult for the beginners.
I didn't see the merit given to anyone for free. Often this all bought. This is done as follows. Created a topic, for this topic you someone gives you a few merit points that you have bought. Preferably a bit of credit for one theme, not to catch a ban.

lately, the topic of Merit has been the most trending discussion.

Why should complain about the merit system

Why do users want to rank up? To join signature campaigns. Merit limits that. In turn, limiting the number of spammers.

I don't see a problem. If someone is going to buy merit then they're wasting their money if they're going to spam and get banned. If they don't spam, then good! Goal accomplished.

These threads ( with very few exceptions ) become spam fests, and they should be locked, and any merit awarded in them should be stripped from the poster, and the awarder imho.

Nobody ever said that all 'good' posts would, or should, receive merit points. Merit isn't a way to compensate users for posting; merit is a way to encourage exceptionally useful posts but, above all, to prevent abusers from ranking up.

Reward users and their farmed alt accounts for creating spam megathreads and for spewing low quality posts? No thanks.

I do not understand everything here but.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=recent - merits are being given.

the rest of your post looks like someone threw up on a keyboard.

It seems to me that merit is not at present a useful instrument for regulating this forum. Merit became a subject for sale. No one gives merit, just like that. There are only a few cases when someone sent the merit of someone just like that.
I have repeatedly witnessed how people wrote good themes, great and having a good meaning, topics which conducted a good analysis of coins, but unfortunately no one has given for such topics merits. I have request one thing opinion, that such themes can be create only for order to you the credited for this subject previously purchased you merit.
I think this system can be improved. I have a number of suggestions on how to do this.
1. Give merit to people who create threads and topics are becoming popular. If the topic has 10 pages of comments - then to add 5 merits.
2. If a member has more than 100 activity on the forum is to enroll him 10 merits. More than 200 activity, give 100 merits.
I don't see any other options at the moment. Or buy merit. Personally, I am against such practices. It seems to me that the system of merit, unfortunately made this forum for many people commercial enterprise. We need new ideas to solve this problem, because I repeat that there are no other ways to increase their rank, in addition to buying merit at the moment.
