Topic: Merit & new rank requirements - page 75. (Read 167726 times)

Glad to see this merit requirement for Jr. Members has finally been put in place. Good job, theymos!

I'm curious to see if this will kill the spam in the infested Bitcoin & Altcoin Discussion forum sections since Newbies cannot display any signatures thus rendering their posts useless to bounty campaigns.

First, why do you believe it is necessary for you to make your points with bold and Red text? 

Second, you seem to be attempting to address points that theymos made in the thread that Jrashid quoted.  Why not raise those points there, and perhaps make them in a bit more reasonable and substantiated way?  If you yell with bold and red, then it is not likely that anyone is going ot want to merit your posts or to give you any credibility, and perhaps just label you as the kind of scammer and spammer that does not deserve to rank up.

There is no rank named Jr.Newbie  


Jr Member is now required to have 1 merit.

You can only rank up to Jr member if you get 1 merit. Also, newbies are restricted to wear signature and personal text now.

Yes (3,545 to be exact).

On average, merit sources^(now) have less sMerit compared to what the average was prior to the upgrade/additions:

19,500/84 ^sources= 232.14 sMerits
23,045/120 ^sources= 192.04 sMerits

Based on the following comment, it's safe to say that "recently added merit sources⁽³⁶⁾, have less sMerits compared to those 84 sources":

A fast search in google seems to confirm it was 19500:

https://www.google.com/search?ei=skmfW97iB4OorgSJ8J3ADg&q=%2284+merit+sources+with+a+total+merit+generation+of+up+to%22&oq=%2284+merit+sources+with+a+total+merit+generation+of+up+to%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3...2396.2396.0.2942.1.1.0.0.0.0.67.67.1.1.0....0...1c.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.ZF4gQ6sbI8o

Within the past day or so, the number of merit sources increased from 84 to 120, and the number of smerits per 30 days is 23,045
 

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=sources

Is that about 3,000 per month increase in smerits that are possible to be distributed per 30 days?  I cannot find the old number, but wasn't the old 30 day smerit amount around 20k per 30 days?

We cannot see which merit sources were added or what changes were made to the previously designated 84 merit sources, but we might see whether the most recent addition of smerits (and merit sources - around 36 new members serving as merit sources) make any difference to the amount of smerits that get spent on a monthly basis.

definitely will start explore more the other sides of bitcointalk and contribute.
as DdmrDdmr stated on the linked article: maybe local forums won't be the best place if I'm aiming to earn more merits

according to this image posted

most merits per point are given on the following subjects (ordered):

Serious Discussion
Development and technical discussion
Meta
Bitcoin Technical support

(on the month of june, but with simmilar data to the last 6 months before it (first semester of 2018)


definitely there is, just try to share valuable information.
for example:
this is my first post that got merited EVER, even though I made quality posts before.

Good Bitcoin Articles (more than 350 articles organized by topics)

it's a gathering of several usefull bitcointalk articles and can definitely be usefull for begginers


definitely a good idea and probably would spread the merits in a more fair way!
totally agree with it

Weekly update

No this won't be a nightmare at all, It's about just adding a few new variables and some if-else statements. Shouldn't take more than a week to develop this. But since theymos is busy this may take a while to build. Sigh! Only if community development was allowed.

Hey, beggars can't be choosers.

No. For the love of dog, no. Meta is for discussing issues with the forum itself, not for shitposters to come ply their shameful trade in the hope of ranking up to increases the bounties.

And speaking of...


 

Found a coin thats at least in top 50 by market cap, maybe even between 30-40, yet noone heard about it, and it seems
noone find it interesting. Its not about merit, its about discussion...but where else to post about thing like that?
Most other subforums it would probably be offtopic

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.45617939

If a Jr. Member askin' about how to earn merits, his/her purpose is absolutely bounties. They should focus on knowledges about crypto and forum first before hoping to get merits, it's a huge barrier for you guys.


Yeah, it's very confusing. @cryptofarid10, you should create posts that will fit in the community because some might unable to read your post.

This would be quite fair for everybody indeed. But would require some work to put in place. Then there is also to consider more pressing problems to solve about merits, like the decrising number in circulation in general, wich could only be mitigated by appointing new merit sources and again, this require time as well.

Maybe you are posting in a section where spamming are moslty happening like in Bitcoin and Altcoin discussion or maybe it is not meritable since it has been shared many times already.

To be honest, I dont think merit is the first thing you should get here. Merit is useless for me although some will say "Merit is important for ranking up" blah blah. Merit is implemented for the spammers not to rank up that easily. What you must get here is knowledge coming from different users here.

Can I ask what is your main purpose why you need merits ??

Your post is like a wall of shit. Come on, can you please fix how you post . Nobody will read your post because it is not that pleasant to see. Useless post.

One thing more, can you please see the spelling of your words if they are correct. I dont want to enumerate it one by one since I'm using mobile phone. I hope your next post will not be like this anymore. Use double spacing for readers to read it.

Some of the necessary things that are new to this forum / thread.
All of you who are new people may have opened an account in this forum that only earn money by joining this website or forums and vice versa like Facebook (for example, all are friends, good morning, good night, my day went very well etc.) Posting will only increase the activity. Till then, the house full of money will be gathered. And 80℅ user e posts this idea and activates it. But your idea is wrong because BitQaytak is not a site to earn. This is a forum where discussions about all the cryptococarse currency are discussed. And this is a forum where Seniors are helping the Newbie, and senior citizens are benefiting from this. And yes, this is not the income that can not be earned here because there is a Topicus named Altness in the Cryptocarcane section where various all mmember leave Bounty with different ICO projects where the work is promoted and they are entitled to their ICO project as a replacement. Participates in a specific part to the participants. But yes if you join in this forum for work now, then you will be wrong. Because now you will not have the opportunity or will not get the benefits. So the best for you is to always try to get advice with senior brothers and share what you know as it is a knowledge sharing forum. And you all try to post a unique one so that everyone benefits and it will be beneficial for you ... and if you need help, then do not post spam and ask the help by drawing the attention of the seniors. They hope they will help ...Best of luck✌✌

Yes, you need some contents that can be useful and informative for every users here in our forum. Not just any post but a post that can make a good discussion here since it's a forum and that's the purpose of it.

Posting now in Altcoin Discussion is not good at all, some people proclaim the section as one of the place where people do shitposting and spamming so merit sources and other people who look for good posters avoid that section. Creating quality contents and sharing your idea in Meta can also have a possibilities of getting merits (It should be unique and a logic-wise content).

Or maybe helping your own local board with some various topics like forum rules and other stuffs about crypto will also get you a merit. You will exert effort on these things so you need to be wise.

I'm not so sure whether I would go so far as proclaiming that to be "the best idea ever," but assuming that it is a decent idea for some of the source smerits to be limited in their target distribution (at least for a limited time, and perhaps for experimental purposes rather than merely attempting to appease whiners), such proposal seems that it would be a bit of a programming nightmare.  I am NOT a programer, but if you recall, it took a bit of time for theymos to merely get the source merits to replenish properly (30 days from their being given out).

I posted today for the first time in altcoin discussion...no wonder theres not  a lot merit given there, my
post was on page 10 after half an hour, lol


I guess you need really catchy subject to get some attention  

Best idea ever.

Gotta give newbie & Jr a better chance.
(I'm more tempted to give Smerit to a much higher ranking member.)


They won’t stop crying and look for another excuse, but at least they gonna smile for a while.

I have a suggestion that I would like to make. How does a Rank Based sMerit Distribution for merit sources sound? E.g Right now merit sources receive a chunk of sMerits and they can distribute however they like. But what if they received sMerit in the following manner.

50 sMerits which can be distributed to only Newbies
50 sMerits which can be distributed to only Jr.Members and so on.

This should stop the people who are 'crying' over not receiving enough merit and pointing fingers towards bias distribution. I haven't gone through this thread, This may have been suggested before if it is I will delete this post right away.
