Topic: Merit & new rank requirements - page 309. (Read 167821 times)
i hope this new system doesn't get abused what if i keep posting and no one give me any merit points for my posts even if it was quality posts
When you give some one merit point for good post ,does the merit point decrease who gives the merit ?
I would also add the need to have a certain amount of merits before to be able to open a thread, there has been a lot of thread opened just to spam referral codes and similar, that would be much appreciated! 
What if I get a merit in my one post, but after few days I delete that post. Will my merit stay same?
Yes
The merit is not undone if the post is deleted.
So I can give merit to myself?
There should be warning, you can not give merit to yourself, don't be selfish

I've read somewhere that you can't give merits to yourself unless you are using alt account

Now it make very difficult to leveling up on BTT
I noticed the merit on profiles and i did a research and finally landed here. I see it as a good innovation for the forum This will help combat irrelevant posts. Thank you.
Merits credited now should be based on the current activity.
Like for my case current activity is 112, to become a Full Member I need 120.
112/120 = 93.33%
Should have 93 instead of just 10.
The merits credited for the newly ranked and those that is close to ranking up is the same. That's not fair.

just like what theymos said,

For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank
and you are here :
Quote
Rank Activity Merits
Member 60 10
Member 60 10
please stop complaining.
And to be a Full Member I need 90 merits since 100 is the minimum required. Same as those with only 60 activity.
I am not complaining, just stating that those who design this merit system should consider the current activity not just the rank.
I already don't like the way clicking on +merit takes you away from the thread. Can you please have it open in a new window?
Agree 100% with this. A new window, or maybe just code in a little box next to the post where you can type the Merit you want to give and then hit Give or something.
Hey!
I think it's a good idea. But as there is merit, it must be Demerit as well. to simply make the difference between profiles, for avoiding spam
we would also like to have on the right of the page the option for merit and demerit without being forced to open another window (as was the case with -0 + 0)
And also want to know where is the place of newbie in this forum ?? It will be hard for some to develop their Rank, expect if there is someone who has an excess of merit, And wants to share ...
Thank you

I have some similar thinking as you in this regard.
I will give you an example from my personal life, without being too personal. I was in the military, and I recall that they had a system that allowed you to go up in rank based on a number of criteria... at the lower ranks there was a certain degree of automation, but as the rank became higher, there was some combination of factors, including how well you were liked, your performance appraisals and some tests that you took. I recall that at a certain middle rank, I was promoted above and beyond my peers mostly based on my really high test scores and my meeting the basics in other criteria; however, I am pretty sure that the higher ranks did not like me or my getting promoted before several of my peers and would have never promoted me, if their assessment were to carry more weight.
So in that regard, I kind of agree that there may be some need for newbies to still be able to move up in rank without having to kiss any butts (yet I do not know exactly what the threshold should be, but it seems that there is some need for some automatic promotion for merely doing your time and posting and not getting banned.. hahahahaha.. that would be good).
Ok, i get the system, but isn't it a little bit harsh for people waiting for levelling up next week?
Why so?
New sr member and 1 week away from hero member got the same merit now and it doesn't make sense.
Anytime in the year, there will be a new Sr Member and a 1 week away from Hero Member, when do you want it to be implemented then?
Also, can i buy merit points or make a raffle for merit points. For example, i will make a raffle who sends me merit and give 0.20 eth to winner such a thing.
Currently, there is no rule for it.

Its like asking for positive trust where some DT members don't like it, you will probably get tagged (or in worst case get banned) if you do that. Merit should be earned, not bought.

There is if you are a source.

It was a surprise to me, and when I got up today, I found this new level requirement.
It may be to limit the growing number of unnutritious posts, and in such a system, there may be more excellent posts.

Whoa! Seems like lot has changed over-night.
Here's what's next : Alt's giving merits to each other.A lot of new threads in Meta about how Merit works.Let's see how this turns out.
EDIT : theymos,are you planning to introduce a business model down the line which enables members to buy certain amount of Merits if they run out ? Technically,can people run out of merits ?
The new system is very good and motivate members to do high quality posts , but i am afraid that members try to exchange\sell Merit each together to increase their ranks , i saw this happen in other forums adapted system called likes . There will be a shit load of "favoritism".
