Merit system is hindrance for those who want to rank up. What is the true basis of getting merit?
Soon we are going to need a Meric Doctor for those addicted ones.
Merit has increased the mental illness some people used to have in the forum or it just more visible now?
Honestly merit is not like a star in the sky rather it is like a moon in the dark night. Once you have it you hit the moon and I can say you are the happiest person in the world for hitting the moon in the dark. Star can fall easily to the ground called black hole while the moon never fall but can be seen on its season. I will not complain about it for I know I can't do anything to stop merit but accept the fact that it will come if I deserve. Actually I'm dreaming for merit and I know that it is like I'm punching on the moon. For now much better to keep quiet and let us play the game of betterness with merit.

No, it has actually changed due to merit system. Newbies are warmly welcome, but if they are spammers, the forum has strict rules to make them sad.Due to merit system and new rank requirements, only constructive users can earn merits and rank up to levels higher than Junior member rank.

Incorrect...

To be honest, I'm speechless for your kindness towards people like me (which is non-english speaker).
I have nothing, but thank you so much, bud. Will never forget you and your kindness!

That's a post by a newbie from the 3rd world, the big thing is he took some advice, didn't post for a few weeks and spent that time improving his English, there is a lot of hate towards the shitposters as they caused the forum to go drastically down hill. Now as people join, if they read the stickies, educate themselves and ask relevant questions (not ones that the answer can be found on the same fucking page) then they are welcomed into the community.
The negativity towards merit comes from people who cant do something and don't want to learn, so in other words the lazy, who really gives a fuck what lazy people think?

Well, the outlook might be right but not all the time. I have observed the restrictions and new rules implemented by the moderators because of several abusers farming accounts here in this forum to sell accounts. So in order to lessen such things they implemented those rules, rules that are not friendly enough not only for newbies but for each and every one of us.

You guys never had it so good. We had to through Newbie Jail when I joined and we weren't allowed to post on the main part of the forum. It isn't that it isn't Newbie friendly but that most Newbies only come here because they read somewhere they could make money from posting here. The few Newbies that come here because they heard about Bitcoin and were interested in learning more about it and getting involved have no problems at all.

When you post a useful article with many people, someone will give you merit instead of thank you, I think so. merit will help you increase the rank in bitcointalk. You just have to work hard to post good and useful content or reply to help people then you will have the ability to be merit people. 
I have noticed that mostly the higher members of this forum received more merit even their post,
Blah, blah, blah. How many times have I read this story on meta before? Higher ranked members have been in the business, so to speak, much longer than newbies (with some exceptions). That’s why they know more and earn more merits.
Won’t people get tired of writing these kind of posts at some point?
Basically yes but a lot of them are free merit given, 50 sMerit as "like" funcion from social media. This idea of "like=ton of merit" can be found also at newbie rank. Example? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33995730 43 Smerit.
Check out the CasinoCoin thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3262543.new#new
If you think the merit system is unfair to people who don't have English as a first language, why don't you support some of the English improvement initiatives that are available through Bitcoin Talk? It would do you a lot more good than spamming some crappy bounty scam.
Merit system is hindrance for those who want to rank up. What is the true basis of getting merit?
You will always think merit is an hindrance to raising your rank if you just make a post or thread isn't there any useful information for others, the English language is not understood by others and you just focus on the merit that will make your encumbrance. Sometimes you can also get merit with 'joke' post but the content of joke have a strong information to the thread you are commenting on.I do not have a lot of merit, you can berate me for that reason. But I always see from people who get merit, and I learned about it and made a conclusion about how to get merit. And I am a person who has never criticized the merit system, most importantly I can contribute to this forum, it's enough for me.

i think this looks increasingly like a good opportunity to start a new neutral cryptocurrency forum

Why do senior members recieve more merit (assuming they do)? Their posts are better. It's really that simple.
I really don't think it's that hard to earn merit. I haven't done anything special and am still recieving merits for some of my posts.
From personal observations, I'd say a signifciant amount of newbie posts are terrible (either have no substance or have poor English). It's not a good thing when a good newbie post stands out.
Here is some advice I have specifically for you after looking through your posts:
-Never use the word "sir" again. It's a dead giveaway that English isn't your native language
-Stop posting in megathreads with thousands of replies. The vast majority of comments in those posts are pure spam and people (including me) never bother opening those.
-Even if your English isn't the best, fix obvious spelling/grammar errors

Length is not essential to a direct and precise statement. If you make your point within a few sentences that should suffice.
You cant just beg for merits to get them, its not that easy and definitely wouldn't be fair to others because they actually try and thats how they receive them. You have to post quality posts.
If you are a star footballer, would you expect to be a star golfer without any training?
If you are rubbish at posting on the English boards, then why do you risk ridicule and your reputation by displaying your ineptitude on the serious boards here. I tried to start a training thread here,but very few people took advantage of it, and it ended up by being spammed by the incompetent with unhelpful comments. If you want to make progress here, then it is far better to try to improve your English elsewhere, or use you local language board.

It was painful to go through your post history. If your English is at this level, you should try brushing up your technical knowledge and help others with that.
Technical information doesn't need to be wrapped up with forced words to be seen as substantial. That means you will have to work harder than usual. You should stop hoping for things to change with posts like this or by being extra polite. This has been a dead horse for quite a while.
There's only two ways for you to earn respect and merit on this forum:
1. Improve your knowledge and make yourself technically useful.
2. Actually demonstrate something you are doing in the real world to support or bolster the bitcoin economy.

Yes it is. I am also believe that gaining a merit is a like an eclipse. You will see it after a years or many years. Even though you are a good in something, it is not enough because our rank considered as ignorant.
Stars are easy to see and portraits but never been possible to have.
So compare merit to other things, vote during election? Perhaps...
Never been complaining to this rules, since there's so much "hi" "hello " on local boards and they have to rank up as as like the other?
Think about it.
