Topic: Merit [NEW] - page 2. (Read 719 times)
Well i dont have conclusion what the help of merit. But I can live with that. Yes forum user maybe unhappy and happy , someone think its not necessary and other think it is. So for now wait that the forum creator will do a conclusion for that problem
I would really like the ability to issue demerits. I want to give out a minus one to low quality efforts that beg for merit.
I think in the long-term the merit system will lower the spam, I'm sure of that.
No, it won't. The merit system only can significantly reduce the number of spammers to move up to higher positions in the forum through their spamming threads. However, the system can not reduce spamming threads. Why is this? With current rules of the forum, newbies (sometimes) and Junior members can still join signature campaigns, therefore they will keep publishing shitty posts. The spamming endemic will only ended if Theymos launch new rules which completely prohibit newbies and Junior members to wear signature codes and don't allow them to join signature campaigns. Only Member and above can join. If this one be implemented, spamming will come to the end soon.

yes with a merit system in the controversy, there are happy and many are not sika with reward sisitem, they have their own reasons, the reason that likes the merit system will reduce spam, while those who do not like the merit system because many are trapped in pringkat. it all depends on the respective assessment
More people unhappy for the merits system, Because many Members stuck their rank because of merits required, but many Members are happy about it for the reason to prevent low post and spamming so they use merits system,but even if you make a quality post you cannot avoid having your post unnoticed because there so many post in the thread,but don't lose hope because someday they will be notice the post we made and we're not the only one like this because many also Members seek to have merits to be able to rank up,that why start now and make your own post.
Proof that merit system doesnt prevent spamming. Everyone now will be making new thread duplicates, copy-pasting articles, hoping to get some merit off of it.
Obviously the merit system isn't preventing spamming.
I've put you on ignore for creating redundant duplicate threads.
Agree! Merit system can not directly prevent spamming endemic in the forum, but the system will be able to prevent spammers to rank up to higher levels in the forum. Furthermore, due to its hindrance on spammers' ranking process, it might reduce their nummber of spamming threads (just might occur, and reduce, not prevent entirely). I've put you on ignore for creating redundant duplicate threads.

Sir...I have seen your post on some threads and it seems that you've been putting some users to ignore if they're shitposting. I just want to ask, does putting them into ignore benefits us? Or its just yourself? Because if it is I'll also put some accounta into ignore especially on some sections that I've been visiting that has so many shitposters.
(Some one can report this as a non off topic and be deleted, its ok for me... It's just that I think Mr. JET CASH also ignores messages from other people...)

Why you people are too lazy to backread?? There are so many threads regarding this topic. Every time I opened meta section, I always see this kind of topic
If you dont want this kind of topic,make your own topic.
I am also agree ,the merit system isn't preventing spamming.It will create another platform,where who have more merit can sold their merit and the one who is merit source can give the merit to their fav member or what he will like.
There should some other parameter also to generate the merit like after some time,there will automatically credit some merit.but UR post is good then u can earn early and improve ur rank early.
There is also some benefit for giving merit to others.
Your words sound like the merit system released difficult requirements so that you are not able to earn merits by yourself. Can you really make a high quality, constructive thread to earn merits? If you can't, you should leave the forum and find somewhere else that is more appropriate for you and has more comfortable rules. Merit system was created to control spammers to rank up to higher positions in the forum. Therefore, there is no probability that Theymos will give each user specific number of merits based on their time spent (online) in the forum. It doesn't make sense and violates original objectives of merit system.There should some other parameter also to generate the merit like after some time,there will automatically credit some merit.but UR post is good then u can earn early and improve ur rank early.

It will never happen. Please forget it!
Merit system has changed and will continue changing the forum, control spammers and let them stucked at their current low ranks.

all of these latest policies do have a positive and negative impact. The positivity prevents spamming while the negative impact is hard to get a higher rank. So try to make a quality post and benefit everyone
Thank you for the reply to my post,I appreciates it

What is new in this topic except the [NEW] that you used in the title. You are just repeating what has been told here multiple times already by a number of members in the meta section. There is no harm in opening a new thread about merit system but it should be done only if you something new to add.
Even expecting some merits for your posts is not bad but do not let is affect your post quality negatively. You should put more effort because of this instead of just copying what worked for a member in past.
Well, another shit newcomers who simply tried publishing shitty topic with unrealistic hope to earn merits by someone's compassionation.
But the fact is this guy will never get any merit in the topic.
This guy should change attitude, should contribute to the forum, stop crying and complaining.
Best regards,

I think some people are trying to figure out how to attract attention, maybe they can get merits.
I'm less surprised about that than the fact that he's earned 4 merits already.
They're all for this post as well which is just copy and pasting an article (which is properly attributed but it's in English in the Filipino board):

These sorts of posts really shouldn't be getting merit as it'll just encourage users to copy and paste articles to get merit instead of having to actually write anything themselves.

In my opinion those people are either alternate accounts of a banned member or maybe account farmers.
If you are here to earm money by spamming the whole forum then i doubt anyone will give you merit for that. But if you put effort into the post you're going to make.
I don't think you guys will do nothing if your post is good enough but still don't get any merit 
). There are a lot of competition topic about Merit, if you feel your posts are good enough, you just need to report your post in these topic and you'll receive Merit for your posts, as I remember actmyname also run a topic like this, you'll get 20 Merit if your 20 rencent posts is good enough )). Stop complaining about Merit anymore.

Stop complaining about Merit anymore.I am sorry but I disagree with it, I don't think the solution for not receiving merit should be reporting your posts. I have lost count of the posts I have made supplying links to videos, websites and useful articles that were the answer to the question being asked. I didn't receive any merit for it.
I am 100% in agreement that the quality of the posts should be improved, but the wrong method is being used, and it is a method that can create a little "mafia" of a few people who agree to merit each other, even if they publish plain BS.
I have already being contacted on Telegram by fellow forum members asking to exchange merit "to help each other out" and I told them I am not interested in playing dirty tricks just because I dislike the merit system, so I know what I am talking about.
A better moderation is what is TRULY needed: not a system left in the hands of the members who could just end up allying themselves for their own benefit as I just said above and exchange merit that is not really deserved.
When I say better moderation I mean something like "if you post crap I will delete your post and give you a warning, and if you receive more than four warnings for the same reason (posting crap) at the 5th warning your account gets banned PERMANENTLY".
It's just that plain easy. This current merit system is unfair to newbies and is the best fuel for creating "mafia clans" among members.
So, although the problem is real the wrong solution is being adopted.
Just my two cents, of course.
