Merit isn't really unfair it is just made for the spammer and for the other people to make a quality or informative post ,
They just want to clean the forum because there are too much users already and a lot of spammers and alternative accounts.

Thats right. Merit does actually help the forum to be clean and spam free by account farmers although some people mistaken it to be a disadvantage because they cannot now posibly ranked up as fast as possible as what they'v been expected to be ever since the merrit system was not yet invented before. You know , most of the users here only wants to rank up as fast as possible in order to achieve a bigger pay check whenever they join a campaign.

First of all this topic should be in the Meta section (reported). Merit is fair, I say it is, not because I am already Legendary status, its because it will bring fairness to those who just post to uprank and join campaigns and those who makes quality posts. Would you allow someone who posts a single liner with no substance at all to rank up together with you who try to make it a point to make a good post that is worthy of receiving a merit?

As a Jr. Member, it is really very difficult now to advance in Rank status. This is because of the merit system. Regardless of how many post you have, you need to gain certain merit to qualify for a particular rank and this merit will be coming from members of this group. Most of the time, people don't care providing merits to anyone. But it does help to maintain quality posted rather than junk. It has it's positive and same as for negatives.

Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.

It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.

My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.

have a lot to discuss about merit you just need to read, do not make old topic with new title, everybody already understand to merit rules.

It is actually fair enough. It is also a way to reduce sh*t posters in this forum. I myself have been stucked in my rank, my rank up will depend on the quality of posts I make. I used to disagree with merit to because of course it is a disadvantage for everyone but I learned to accept it since it's already there. MODs will still be followed.

Yes! It is totally unfair. Those who joined last year became legendary members without the real effort and those who joined recently can't come even close to that rank. Merit system favorites the old members. If a newbie wants to reach legendary status he must comment for years and all his posts have to be amazing! Merit system is nonsense now, it should have been introduced from day 1.

I'm not entirely happy with the Merit system - I was just about to become a senior member, and won't now. However, the fact the system favours older members is surely the point? They're the people who have supported Bitcoin through it's development, not the Johnny-come-latelys who joined in November because they heard it was a get rich quick scheme.

I agree. Even for those people who are already here for a long time, it is so difficult to rank up since merit is now a requirement. There are too many people here so the possibilities that you will gain a merit is so little. Merit can be considered as a good thing for some reasons but still it is very unfair because gaining one is so hard which makes it impossible already to rank up to gain more profit.

maybe yes maybe no. but it is a truth that merit system was necessary for forum. post quantity were so high and quality of posts were so low for last year. i think it will work and now quality is going to increase. people will not be able to rank up just with posting.

Why did you say that's it is unfair? We're so lucky to merits because the system makes us to be a good quality poster not spammy or just shit post. Don't talk for merit, talk for a good and constructive post and let your post speaks for merit. Merit is fairly used to every bitcointalk users. In someway there merit sources and just comply what they asked and they will send merit.

In life, there is no such thing as fair. Even here, you have to undergo the battle and be recognized through your post. Yes, merit system make it hard for every membr to rank up and its quite dissapointing especially if you are new here. You will be stucked to jr. Member if you cannot get atleats 10 merits. But merits are good because it maintain quality posts.

Just consider one aspect: without merit, in a few years from now we would have thousands of members with the status of Legendary posting crap threads like "Will Bitcoin die or moon?" and the whole forum would be a total joke. Merit may not be fair to some, but it is meant to save this place.

yes the merit system is useless

I do not think that. I read many topics about the exchange, buy, sell account on the forum. Maybe that is the reason. Forum administrators apply merit. They have a reason to make changes depending on the situation of the bitcointalk community. and we respect them, that means we accept the rules given. Sometimes, it was a difficult for me to get merit from another person.

It's not unfair. In order to keep spam posts away, merits are a necessary option. While people struggling for rank and merit, they have to follow the community rules. So there will be a fewer spammy post in threads. It makes help threads keep clean. You were talking about friends and selfish here when it comes to sMerits. Well, let's see, be my friend. Wink

I somehow agree with that, but I also feel the same way with the fact its somehow unfair. Cause how about for the newbies? And how can I make myself into the higher rank if I cant commit with a certain number of merit, due to the fact that most of the people here focus on their own quota and it doesnt matter if they could give somehow a merit. Dont hate me.

Merit system is unfair. Even when you have many quality post, nothing guarantee that you would receive merit from other members. And what guarantee that merits sources won't sell their merits?

Merit system is boon to the bitcoin talk now.It had eliminate the account former and shit posters.You are forced to make the quality posts to get merit now.If you are failed to do so,you will on the same rank.In this forum their are lot of senior members with huge merits to share.If you had made quality posts,you will get it automatically .And you are no need to ask for the merit.Cheers.
