Topic: Merit [NEW] (Read 719 times)

Later on this poster will gain negative trust or will be banned because of copy pasting. So don't wasting your time to argue with the OP. Because highrankers already notice this kind of post. Lets just help to report this kind of spammer.

Wow, I did not realize what you point out above as I spend almost all my time safely tucked away in the Collectibles section and do not visit Economics, Bitcoin Discussion etc....I have heard about the spam problem but fortunately it has not (for the most part) invaded the small area of the forum I frequent.

So users like Rupok, who you quote, make money posting jibberish like that?  Who pays them and aren't they to blame?

It absolutely is.  Unfortunately, in order to follow said course, one has to be able to read what TMAN wrote.  And therein lies the problem.  These fuckers didn't come here to read; they came here to post.  And if thwarted in this activity, they certainly are not going to stick around long enough for an English lesson.  

They know just enough to answer the commonly-asked questions that make up the substance of most threads in Bitcoin Discussion, Economics, & Speculation.  They can rearrange the words in these responses just enough to make it look like a new response--but that's like rearranging turds in a mountain of shit.  It's all repulsive stuff, and if they weren't paid for it, they wouldn't be spreading the manure.  

Edit:  Here's a random example.
Look at the threads in Reputation that deal with my feedbacks.  What would normally be someone laying out a logical case of inappropriate feedback turns into a ham-fisted murdering of the English language that sounds like dialogue from the first comic book appearance of Bizarro Superman--and this is good evidence that when these people try to write something that isn't an answer to "How I can earn btcz?" or "Bitcoin is life", they are lost.  They cannot muster enough English-language coherence to even state their case that they did not commit [Insert Bitcointalk Transgression Here] and hence the red trust I left is in error.

Sometimes I laugh; sometimes it's annoying.  When I hear someone say they're going to rage-quit BCT, I'm elated.  And eventually when I start seeing Jr. Members with 500 activity, I'll know we've arrived in the promised land because of the merit system.

People care so much for their rank,  but I guess my friend is right when he says rank also help you gain more stakes on signature campaign because after the Bounty END you will wait At least a month before you can join another signature again,  so I think having a big pays on the campaign is also obtain by having merit to rank, so is it okay to ask my friend to rate some of my post soon? It's like from range ofn1 to 10 rate my post and give me merit, will that be okay?

in essence the new rules want to create a quality post, and useful for bitcoin users .. so enjoy the rules and learn with new rules,during your posting quality you dont worry about merit

More aggressive approach to spammers but surely that would also come with some "problems", possibly. One of them would be how much can you demerit someone, would it just be the polar opposite of meriting or not? Also, someone with just 3 alt-accounts could possibly bombard one user and quite possibly lower them for a rank or two, depending on the circumstances.

But surely, posts like this one:


should receive demerit, but if you ask me, one "demerit" button that would automatically deduct merit count by 1 would be just enough.

It seems like the best course of action is to follow tman's guide, as you linked. We would all be in a happier place if newcomers just followed the advice given in these threads

That sort of annoying, lazy users should spend several minutes to look at the following topics:
TMAN's guide to getting merits (by TMAN)
Tips – Guides for forum search (by coly20032003)
The English language improvement thread (by Jet Cash)
Full Member thanks to merit system (by iasenko)
If they don't want to do this, or feel something like don't have time to read those ones (maybe due to have to spend most of their time to spam the forum with their shits, to beg for merits, to get money from campaigns, and so on.); I highly recommend they should leave the forum and find other ones that don't have strict ranking requirements like merit system.

Maybe you should step away from your computer, stretch, and go out into the real world for a few minutes.  I guarantee you'll find one thing after another, each more ridiculous than the last--and far more so than the merit system on bitcointalk.
Word.

what else can you say about my post?I'm open to all your comments and suggestions.

This qualifies for -1

Really? I don't think so . At least Merit system help preventing all shitposter can get to higher rank in the future . For example, you're a oneline shitposter and you'll stuck forever at Member rank or maybe you can reach to Full Member rank if you improve your post quality or cheat Merit system. LOL. You can try but I think you already know what will happen with your account if you cheat this system

Wow, you gave this opinion just after making 3 posts here ? At least make 30-40 quality posts and then if you do not get merit, then you can say that it is difficult to get merits. In my opinion, it is not hard to become a member as it requires only 10 merits. Admin said that initially he wanted it to keep 1 merit for member level but then he thought that it would be too easy. Also, some members already became members from junior members with merits earned after the merit system and thus it is surely possible.

merit isn't so cool.

it's just some random number underneath your activity field. who cares.

And also u get a green title on top of your post title when you're merited.

and that's it.

And here people are acting like it's some kind of precious gift from heaven LOL. these geeks.

We're all here telling the truth. It's true that every opening Meta always has this kind of topic.
I will try to straighten out. Actually we all who are here just want you to be better again without creating a thread that is not useful anymore. because outside there is the same topic with your topic. Hopefully you will be aware and become better.

You get merit for your quality posts, but when you create your quality posts, unsure that your post will be noticed, when you your posts are noticed, nothing assure that you will be merited.
so merit system is the most ridiculous thing I have ever known

In my opinion, merits system cannot prevent spam and shit posting, the only way to eliminate spam is remove signature campaign.

I really want to get Merit, but Merit is too hard to get.

yeah, i thought it so too. Even if I make quality posts, they wont notice it. I just really hipe that someone might notice them.

What stops a member from spamming the forum after he has become a member ? These habits will not go and they exploit every such opportunity irrespective of their rank. Best solution is to completely remove all the signature campaigns from here. If they want to reward the users, it should be based on the number of merits achieved by a member irrespective of his current rank.
