Topic: Merit & new rank requirements - page 84. (Read 167726 times)

You didn't read my post carefully enough, and no one deserves anything in this world, it's only a matter of circumstance and opportunity.

 
I noticed that, and already knew that. But, i'm on the fringe of the old systems requirements. Yes, and that was a fair time-gate. No, i can't do 1000 merit in 3 years, and very few can. There are specific boards and threads were people are more likely to merit. By merely posting where you want to post on these forums, you're hurting your chances to acquire merit. Am i going to go out of my way to collect merit from the sources that give it? Fuck no. I'm not here to farm kudo points from other users, as many of you do who defend the system. This isn't a video-game, this is forum.

So lets break this down in elementary terms; the majority of the highest ranked BTT members dwell only in BTC sections, so therefore more likely to merit in those locations to where they are biased and most recognized within. Again, why should anyone feel the need to milk the tits of these members, again for kudos? Worthless system.

"Tons of users" is subjective. How many tons out of how many total users? The amount of merit given on a daily basis will be drastically decreased years from now, due to the replenishment rates. While you have some justification here, you need to >farm< this out in specific forum boards, is that really constructive to the system if you're going for the carrot on the string? Not really, it actually diminishes the principals behind this entire forum, freedom. The new system is a hierarchy, a structure based on bullshit to filter all the new scammy accounts.


Not sure where these unfounded and ignorant sentences are coming from, you clearly have not done any research into my profile, and failed to understand my previous post. You refute and defend the system all you want, it doesn't make your contributions to BTT any more significant than mine. And from your profile posts, it's pretty evident your contributions amount to nothing, just basic support and the occasional constructive posts that are far and few. I'm confused why you have so much merit for those elementary school posts? maybe you're milking the right tits

By people merely complaining about the system, does not immediately invalidate their opinion. Instead of trying to understand what people are talking about, you immediately brush it off because the system fits your ego. You're obviously content with the awards, for your interactions, in the threads, that suite your experiences. Ultimately, you feel benefited and above other people by having something and understanding something better than most, prestige of merit by being in the right places at the right times. There are reasons behind every action, and every action taken in this world, by anyone, is a selfish one.

Maybe you should only rank up if you deserve? Have you thought about this?

If you haven't noticed, you still need from 775 to 1030 activity to rank up to Legendary. This means that if you create your account right now, you still need to wait almost 3 years (while being active) to rank up. Are you saying that you can't get 1000 merits in 3 years? It's been only 7 months since the merit system was created and there are already tons of users with 200+ merits (a median rate of ~1 merit per day), and 18 users with +500 merits (~2.4 merits per day).

Please, stop crying about merit and start doing something useful. The only "elite" that BitcoinTalk has is the group of users who actually care about the forum and try to contribute with something instead of joining shitbounties, spamming about ICO/shitcoins or crying about merit.

1. It is not that impossible , as you can see many of the members are still earning Merits
2. As long as you're doing a great job you'll get some fame in no time.
3. Although Merit has broke many lives, it wasn't still a failed system.
4. Doesn't agree to non-legitimate/unintended manner, it will only lead to the accounts to have Red Trust.
5. The system will surely come at halt for the reason another Forum is being made by the developers.
6. Just do what you think is necessary
 ( Don't expect way too much to rank up in a short period of time - I think it really doesn't matter if it will take years just to reach the Legendary Rank)

Bro you have a very high rand , many people don't know how became a member and long time to sit jr.member , im too junior but i'm support a merit system because this lessen number of create a new face account and people truly need to work for recived merit , only spam don't help they

Merit is a failed system, for a Hero member (500 merit) to become a Legendary member (1000 merit), we need to acquire the equivalent of one top-10 merited users ever on BTT. It's impossible for those who have no recognition among the top 50-100 elite on Bitcointalk. The only way to acquire this sum is to do it in a non-legitimate and unintended manner. As time passes, the entire system will come to a halt, due to the unreasonable replenishment rates and the lack of user-understanding of how the system functions.  

If the intention was not to immortalize and make the Legendary rank unobtainable, you're better off reviewing Hero accounts that want to become legendary (like myself).  
 



There is only one way for any ordinary person to get legendary (via VIP) legitimately: Buy your rank from BTT by donating 10 BTC.

 

There are some contest run by higher ranked members here but i dont have the links of it so you must find it by your own, and maybe try to use the search feature in this forum. The most important things is not to rely solely from the contest tho, if you do not know where to find merit then start correcting something starts from yourself, maybe like learning things about cryptocurrency or improving your english. Both is a great combination to starts to get more merit. You can learn from other members who got a lot of merits by looking at the most meritted members in the list here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusersat

Merit is not something that you just want to get. If you want to get the merit, then you must have knowledge in your heart, then you will get Merit and there is no other way. You do not buy Merit. Or do not ask anyone.If this does, then your account may be banned later.

Even though we made contest for Jr. Members like you in order for you to receive Merits, I don't think you will receive even a single one if you will continue posting spam posts. . I'm wondering why you still don't know why you can't receive any Merits while by looking at your posts history will obviously give you the answer to those "Why?" questions.
With those 42 posts you have not even one posts catches my interest. You should improve posting.

You can possibly join the author of this thread right now.

And also contests as of now isnt advisable, for the solely reason that it's not really an appropriate thing to award Merits.

I hope there will be some "contest" here where the prizes are merits hehe. I dont know where i can get merit now hehe

I could probably do that if it was an option. I don't have any merit so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the option to give merit is disabled.
Thanks for the screenshot though. I'm glad they have a sense of humor here.



AH, nope, I do have a way to see it simply by doing as you suggested and searching 'Merit.'
It helps to read, huh?

If you did what I said, you'd see its actually called sMerit (along with explanation that you lose nothing by giving it away) 

Good to know! Thanks. I like 'Smerit' - Is it labeled like that? Lol.

Your merits difefr from those you send...those are called "sendable merit" or smerit and you can see how many of those you have
if you click as if you're trying to send merit to someone...you will see that that number differs from your own merit

Thanks for the clarification. My question really should have been specific to sending merit, however I do indeed see that apparently you must have merit already to send it. Does this mean If I received 10 merit, if I gave 5 merit to others would my account still show 10 merit or are they spent as a form of merit currency?

Thanks for reply!
I won't write all the reasons here (as this might be considered as offtopic), but we have a separate thread for this
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ukrainian-local-board-4365564
There I and others presented multiple reasons many times.

I see, so it seems there is no reason for me (or others) to apply for merit source. Anyway we communicate in 1 Ukrainian thread and occasionally merit is shared there.
Good luck with developing your board!

Merits is just a like button, should be given to the posts that make sense right? If you're not good at earning merits we must go to improvement.

@Yuliya2404, if you want to have merits then you should improve your posts and mindset here in forum.
Before thinking about the merits please check first your recent posts, all of them are just social media reports. You should have quality posts to be qualified in the merit system, you want merits but don't do something to earn it. It's been 7 months since merit system started, if you really want it then at first you changed the way you threat forum.


You should indicate some reasons why they should create sub-forum for Ukrainians. I don't want to be a racist bud but I think you guys must prove to them that your community deserves it even there are political reasons.  

Regarding the merit source, even us don't have any source but we're still standing to develop our board without it. I think admins have many reasons why they didn't come up to approve those suggestions and applications. I know that our improvement will change those minds and they'll support us soon bud.

That's your problem. Merit shouldn't be the reason why you're here. Merit is simply a byproduct of good posts. Obviously, yours weren't, or they wouldn't have been ignored or deleted.

Out of the 800 that downloaded, I'm assuming that only a handful of them even have any idea what merit is. The rest are probably from search results or newbies that stumbled across your post. I have plenty of sMerit to give, but I won't merit your post, simply because I don't find it valuable to me. Sorry, bud.

Regarding the last line it's interesting to specify - does this apply to local sections which have no separate forum, only 1 thread?
For a long time many Ukrainians ask question about creation of Ukrainian sub-forum, but all these requests are ignored by admins.
(as for me that's probably political reasons)

So do as TheQuin suggested:

Bitcointalk is different than other forums, in the sense that people join to earn money, without caring about the subject, and without bringing any knowledge to the table.
That's what Merit is supposed to change, but if I see a thread in altcoin mining, with mainly old accounts even without signature, I don't think those are the ones that should be restricted by the Merit system.
