Topic: Merit as a path to salvation (Read 370 times)

Thanks, much appreciated

A bit off-topic but yes.


Result: Secret text

How did you do the hidden signature? I am intrigued by it's simplistic potential. Is it just font colour?

Another thread made in attempt to gain some sympathy and merit here in the meta section because people said you can get merits easily in here. Sorry my lad, you can not get a lot of merits in here because there are so many educated person in here who can tell the difference between a great post with a not so good post.

I think this forum always had too many people register even before the December boom as you call it. At least the last few years when I visited before I register.

However, I wish this was true. If 90% of the current members were to leave the forum, its content would become 900% more interesting.

Last time I checked, Merit was very, VERY bad for your health.

Don't even know if this brand (I think it was from Philip Morris) still exists.

Merit as a path to a world of flavor.

This forum was great without a merit system. With a system of merits, the forum has become even better. I would have banned multi-accounts. But in principle the transfer of merits between multi-accounts are tracked very easily. So that all and so well.

OMG, another religion is about to be born.I guess I have to leave my pastafarian life and the Holy Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster just to start preaching the 10 bitcointalk commandments and bless people with my Holy sMerit.

I have already started writing the "Old testaments" for the newbies so soon I'll come out with the full Bible I think

We already have a Pope in the face of Vod and theymos is no more than a God here, so.

Oh man, I'll miss my colander...

Merit = salvation.
Merit is the road to awe.

I loved the way you analyzed the reason behind merit. It is more clear to me now that all this merit saga was geared to sustaining the forum not just from shit posting but from issues such as the value of ranks diminishing over time when everybody becomes legendary o hero members thereby putting subscription companies at a loss. Thanks for this analysis

Lets just hope that people start wising up to these types of threads and stop blindly awarding merit to topics which have already been discussed to death. I bet people won't though and they will be awarding merits again next week to topics just like this.

Yes it was and from what I've seen, people who support the merit system by praising it, get merit.

You get the idea.

Had his English been better, and maybe if in his language was a little less cult-like, someone probably would have given him merit for it.

I'm curious about this  statement "or you have brought up opinions which have already been discussed a million times this week." Is your expectation that posters research previous posts to make sure they are not duplicating thoughts? If that's the case, this forum would need a better system of cataloging records because some of this topics get hundreds of pages of posts.

That salvation really makes you feel good, do not be too critical about your rankings in forum.

Well at least the semi-religious nature of the post  reminded me that I should do something about - Jet Cash's divine comedy - the nine circles of merit hell.

I get it. But if you spent some more time here on the English board, you would see how common are these kinds of posts and how tired we are of them.

Sorry, I do not know so well English. I just wanted to express my thoughts. I didn't ask for this award

This is an automatic Google translation from his original Russian post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--4560675

That's why it doesn't make any sense. To the OP: don't trust Google, even when they encourage the people to not "being evil".

This was was a poorly attempt of trying to earn merit. This is exactly the reason why you are still on 0 merit is because it just does not make any sense or you have brought up opinions which have already been discussed a million times this week.

This ^^ is the only part of your post that made sense.  The rest of it was jumbled up English words that either didn't belong or were put together wrong, like some Frankenstein merit-begging monster.  You're going on ignore, since I can reasonably expect that nothing you write will ever interest me, and I'll have to spend valuable scrolling time getting past your bloated nonsense. 

No merits for you, buddy.

As I have posted several times, activity is the pathway through the nine circles of poster's hell, and merit unlocks the gates on the path to allow entry to the Paradiso.

Hello. Anyone who does not want to impose their thoughts is just the ground for reflection and why I believe that without a merit the forum would sooner or later be bent.
1) When the forum was created there were not so many people, so there was no competition and to move from rank to rank it was only necessary to write posts and be some time on the forum
2) Those people who from the very beginning of the forum appreciated the idea of ​​the crypto currency more than the means of making money on it
3) Over time, it became possible to earn money at the ranks and people who have long since picked up a niche, participating in the same subscription companies.
4) Now someone seriously began to appreciate his rank, and someone was dreaming that later, too, time will become a legend, writing posts.
5) After the boom, which was in December a lot of people began to register on this forum, a lot began to study crypto currency as a means of earning.
6) And after a year and a half we would have a lot of high ranks in the forum. And if there are many of them, then the value of ranks will begin to fall, the subscription companies will not be so profitable
7) People will lose the sense to write posts and completely leave the forum
But our rescue came and did not let us drown. Now people see the goal, write more meaningful posts, and not spam to fill the activates. And plus this bonus to those who have long been on the forum. I think they deserve it
