if we have sMerits we have a responsibility to reward people.

exactly this. the sooner the people who got an initial large stack of sMerit (just from our ranking when this was implemented) start spreading it around, the more sMerit those who received it can start sending sMerit of their own. we need to spread this initial pool of sMerits out so more members than just high ranking members with sMerit to burn are doing it.

as of right now the bulk of people who can freely send sMerit without worrying about running dry right away (and thus not being able to +merit a worthy post at that point) are high ranking members so it seems top heavy. once these sMerits are spread around more i think posts that may otherwise be overlooked by high ranking members (because they may not have enough interest in some areas of the forums [beginners and help, say], or a thread just doesnt attract their interest because the topic is old news to the btc vetrans) will be merited by the regular "rank and file" members as the pool of people with spendable sMerits expands.

You got it bud. I gave you merit as I appreciate the post and I know you will pay it forwards..

I decided that the previous allocation was too unfair in this area, so everyone with activity >= 775 got 500 more merit if they didn't already have 1000 merit (and also Lutpin). No extra sMerit, though.

And what about the Legendary gap?

Your boost to them means people who had almost 2,000 less activity than me are now equal in merits.

I feel your pain man. I would give you merit for this, but I am merit poor myself. Need those merits to rank up to Sr. Member and stuff.
So I am just going to say
+1
You deserve more merits

You don't understand the system fella. Merits never reduce sMerits do and those are what you need to pay forward, that is how the system works. Hoarding sMerits does nothing

Ohh, I get it. Thanks man!

EDIT: Just saw I got 5 sMerits :/ Wow

Actually being a full member you instantly get 100merit and 5-10 sMerit which you can give to others.

I remember back in the good ole days on this forum - like less than a week ago - where a simple thank you would've suffice.

I don't know. But my simple 'thank you' got removed because it was considered as spam. I guess it just had to become complex, unfriendly and abusive. Roll Eyes

Yup. mostly thank you is considered spam to increase one's activity, if youre thankful enough express it with one sentence tho to be safe.

Hi, I am a recent member of the forum so don´t expect very intelligent questions. I just read about the merit system but, as I understand it, if I make a question in the forum and someone gives a good answer I can´t do anything to reward him or her. I would have to wait for another member that has merit to give away and notice that I have been helped.

I remember back in the good ole days on this forum - like less than a week ago - where a simple thank you would've suffice. Today it's "You haz no sM, bitch, thus not addressing your concern!"

Speakin' of gifting sM, does anybody know Tai's user name on this forum? Check out his talk ...

You can make good posts and earn some merits for yourself. Then you can give those merits to deserving posts. Get noticed by merit sources by making quality sources, they are watching you. Also check this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-threads-giving-away-merit-points-for-quality-posts-2832127 , it mentions threads where others are offering merits for quality posts.

Right! as a result of that, please remember that you need help from lots of users in the BCT forum to move up to higher levels, in your case is Member level. After you ranked up to higher levels, you will have more and more merits, correspond to sMerits. And at that time, please help others by giving them sMerits you have. That's the way our community help each other to make the forum a better place, community-driven forum.

But it becomes much harder for members in small local community to make their rank up.

Yes and no. In a smaller community, less sMerit is available, but there are also less posts competing for Merit.
As long as sources are present in all local sections, size should not be an issue. Maybe competition is even so much lower in smaller groups that merit is actually easier to get.

I usually don't frequent my local section (discussing bitcoin and related topics in english give me the ability to communicate with almost everyone across the globe,
discussing them only with a few that happen to speak my language limit this greatly), but I've been browsing it over the last day and have rewarded a portion of my merit to local posters.

I think you are right. Spending more time, more efforts for each post, make your post a better one, in terms of quality. By doing this repeatedly, your knowledge, skills, etc. will be sharpened. It's also good in English practice, too, if you are not native English users. It's good generally. Meriting me if possible, please

Why Merit is so hard to get them??
How to make good post??
is there any other way to get Merit?
How to get merit? Please give me explanation

1) It is not hard to get. See this post which got about 60 merits in total https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-is-the-best-thing-that-happened-to-new-users-2828014

2) Good post is one which is on the topic and solves the query asked by the OP. It is free from fluff.

3) No

4) Make a good quality post. Have a look at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats

Here you can see recent posts getting merit, posts with highest merits all time and much more. Try to learn from these posts. All the best.

thanks all for answer my questiony
I will try to make good post

Yes that's what I wanted to know, do you know what the distribution of sources is?

I completely agree with you about the benefit for collecting information in English, and your redistribution of merit to your local community,
but I think such a redistribution should be built in a system.

I was afraid that small communities will be extinct sooner or later unless sources are distributed appropriately.
