As a complete beginner, it seems to me that I have only a remote possibility to grow in this system.
I heard that there is the possibility to make promotion campaign just to earn something, but they are reserved to senior.
It seems to me very difficult to earn this kind of points. We'll see.

The merit system has nothing to do with posts' quality, that is just a pretext.
It's only real ain is to keep away people like me from signature campaign.
Vip people don't like concurrence.

I couldn't agree more. May be the intentions are good, but the results are without any sense.
For example, I can't give you any merit. And I understand that - out of an elite of "gods" in the forum, even full or senior have a very limited number or merits to give. It's just a way to stop the growth of the beginners.

Perhaps many buy and sell merit points in secret, I think it is very difficult to get merit points, most people will probably take a shortcut, maybe they have multiple accounts to send each other..
this system is new and most of the merits goes to meta posts.people need more time to know about this system. maybe 1-3 months is enough time to know if this system good or bad.
we have total 600,000 smerits and 36 sources.
let’s wait more time and Then we judge the system
Exactly, with in days we cannot judge how merit system is going to work. To get full information we have to wait for another 1 or 2 month to get answers for merit system.
Although merit is being bought and sold it will definitely increase the posting quality in Bitcointalk. A big portion of the users will need to work harder and these who deserve it will rank up, a minority will rank up due to purchasing merit and accounts, however the amount of garbage in the forum will diminish and people motivation will change which is the important.
I hope everybody would be fair about this new feature implemented by admin theymos.
This thread is for the purpose of awareness that merit is given to a constructive and quality post. I have made a thread here in the market place section, hoping that there will not be such things like buying and selling merits. Let's work with our own asses.
P.S.
OP is not asking attention, read and understand. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Merit is an additional requirement in order to promote a rank of a user, it may be an additional burden to other user but for me it serves as inspiration and a high morale to a user because it is equivalent for a appreciation to your post.
What Op has stated as the last point adds value to the entire merit system that has come to effect with the hard effort of theymos. Merit system will ensure obedience among the users allowing them to improve the quality of posts. The merit one gains will make them stand away from common posters. Everything has got loophole, so making it functional with cent percent effective need to be prioritized.
what depends on merit?
I hope that everyone could understand and follow this new merit system to be fair to all and to clean this forum up. But sadly there are still some people that don't follow the rules and cheat to gain profit. I believe that all implemented system are good and for the benefits of everyone here, but there is just some people who breaks it for their own sake.

I am a bit surprised by the Merit system, but I get used to it over time, and if it is abused against the merit system, the rules of the forum may become stricter. For those who produce quality content, there has never been a problem, no more.
What kind of people are you if you want to sell even merit for money, resourceful or greedy ?. But one thing I really sure in this world,"money can't change you, but money help you to see what you really are" ( deep awakening monster?) . Just adding idea from the other side, hope no one will offended.
Nothing can be done for such people who do not even understand what is the benefit or how beneficial it can be in long run if you use wisely and correctly. For smaller amount of money if they are doing this at the end when the admin would reconcile all this people would be banned and thus all their efforts will gets waste. Hopefully people will learn and would not commit any such mistake.
personally i think that this merit system have complicated the system a bit, the logic after it is good I like it, as much there are quality posts the better would this forum be but we are gonna see how merit affects the quality of posts and will people be fair to give merits.
Merit system of course will hugely increase the quality of posts for merit is the only way to rank up.
As for paid merits, buying them away from this forum would be a hassle and as you need a lot of them from a lot of people.

but maybe for some people this becomes a land to find additional money.
by selling the merit rations...
Of course it must be not a sold its form of Crime ,the real merit purpose is to examine the quality of useful post right ,for newbie dont be discouraged if not get the merit and anyway this feature is very useful for manager and also staff to make it easier for them to assess poster someone ,I personally strongly agree it triggers me to make it better post so I can be useful to others
Yes, this system is introduced to maintain the posts quality n the forum and also the richness of the forum as there are many shit posters out there who are making this forum just a place to earn money. This will make the form a better place to find knowledgeable peoples. As many people are supporting this system we too should make a good approach to it and see that no one encourages the sales of this merits in the forum.

Tracking merit sales can be hard and I'm trying to think of a way to track it down or prevent it
It's hard but through this page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=xxxxxx we can figure out on who are those people abusing the merit system. If someone sends to an unfamiliar posts that isn't high quality and was given the maximum one, isn't that fishy?

Ooh you use reverse psychology for gaining merit. Say something nice and get merit from people here. Very nice trick. In our school back in the day, you had to work hard to get merit, but this here seems like, just be nice, fake and people will +merit you. I wish I could de-merit you right now. Oh well, I do not run this forum.

This merit based system is one the best innovation in this forum to stamp out shitposters, more so I am imploring the admins to closely monitor how merits is awarded so as make the system credible however some unscrupulous members might want to bend rules and messed up the system such a member should be sanctioned accordingly.

They should keep an eye on that selling of merit, we should not sell our merit because we earned that by our own hardwork.
If you sell.your merit, its just like you are helping all scammers to do their evil plan. We should not tolerate that.
This new system is being created for the development of the system so we just support it and do not do anything that is against it.
