Merit is really what i need,i have no idea for that merit is for sale. But in my own,i want to have it in the way of like a people who will appreciate on my post through my hardwok,but not through buying.

Haha every newbies and low rank guys want to get the merits to rank up faster. This merit system will not allow you to grow faster in the forum bro. Please do not go with normal section to make the posts. There normally people would not give merits bro.
When you able to assist anyone automatically you will be started getting merits. So do not worry about it at all.

Some people may ask you like pay the fund I will the merits to you. You need to avoid those kind of people because that is not at all tolerated in meriting system.

If need to growth for your account. Improve your post quality. If merit will be increase. Your account rank will be improved. So you improve your post quality then people will be give the merit. Merit is like for your post. It will be not sell. So if need to improve your account. Fist you improve your post quality. It help to for your future growth.

I agree that selling merit is abuse and it's not right. The sense of merit is to be given not sold. But this is human nature, they find how to make money out of everything without thinking is it right or wrong.
Sometimes people are just malicious and don't want to share something that is free, like merit is, but they want to make profit from it. But currently the way thy system of merit is functioning it can't be monitored or checked to prevent selling.

It is very difficult to get merit points. Maybe I need to write more quality.

You can't prevent selling merit anyhow. Anyway, system is far from perfect, frequently I see people that got their merit from quite useless posts, and sometimes people who provide nice self-made content, but their topics/messages are just overlooked or belong to unpopular sections

Of course, do not find me rude, but the useless function in the topics is measuring, since few people will want to give their measure to someone (((
Purely from these motives you can look in front of and see that few people will grow, from here there will be people who will want to buy it, and where there is demand there will be an offer ..

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.

Saddly, but many people are already selling/buying Merit points, for example here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-have-26-merits-buy-it-if-you-want-2827197
On local boards there are much more Merit sellers. There was people who got 20 or even 50 Merit for a low quality posts, it's obvious abuse of Merit system. Both, buyer and seller has to be reported to DT members and they will give them red trust rating.

selling merit is not fair. The person who sells and buy merit is a very selfish person. You're right, people like this has to be punished by the moderators for them to learn their lessons. Many people here in the forum is trying their best to give good quality post to gain at least 1 or 2 merits. Everybody has to be fair and don't do anything illegal just to rank up, if you get caught selling or buying merits it will be your lost and you will not have anymore opportunity to be in this forum.

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..

No doubt on the near future this will be updated and there would be no more buy and sell merit , but then again lot's of newbies or the new comers thinking that merit is a big hindrance , but then again instead of thinking that it's a hindrance make it as a motivation though.

I hope this abuse will prevented though.

Abusers cannot be prevented, but they can be contained. Merit abusers are usually easy to be spotted, as they suspiciously give their smerits to a common person only. I found a lot of abusers around this community and I hope they will be paying the consequence from cheating. There are a lot threads in meta section that reports all the merit abusers. Dont hesitate to report suspicious accounts that potentialy abusing the merit system.

That is true that we should work on our own to provide a quality work that was expected to us by the bounty managers, moderators and admins not just to make spam posts everyday to make an income. Some people think that doing bounties is just a easy walk in the park and they will earn with less effort, but in reality you still need to provide a quality work, yes this freelance job may be easier then most jobs out there but it is not an excuse to not provide quality content and not just ask the same questions again and again to the point that they are just spamming posts. Members should learn and earn in their journey here in this forum.

EDIT UPDATE
For those who wants to receive merits for quality post. Check this thread, Challenging and Helpful.

It is difficult to find a merit especially when you do not know that you are using the bitcoin forum, even though the Member's rank is very difficult when no one has merit, the merit does not buy. hopefully restore the previous bitcoin forum without merit.

Yes of course merit should not be sold or buy due to the rules. People who are found doing such should face the punishment.
Looking at it in the normal way merit are not easily given to people because the rate at which people get merit then is actually different from now. Also I think not all people knows how to give out merit.
At least have had different experience when we talk about Bounties campaign people with high rank are paid more.... But I believed that most people with high rank are the people who are into crypto then.
Pardon the way I talk am not supporting buying and selling merit am only given reasons why they are into it.
What about people selling their account for money is it also right... Because I believed some people have more than different account... And some of them are for selling and buying purpose .... So don't you think it can also triggers the rate at which people are buying and selling merit.

I heard a lot of rumors for people selling their merits in order to earn some coin or bitcoin point for themselves, other are just exchanging them with some friends, since it is truly hard about earning this points, especially those who want to rank up, since there is no option three to earn them.

Exchanging of merits still leads them getting tagged with negative ratings. I've seen it so even I really want to rank up to Senior, it's futile. Ialready accepted the fact that ranking up now is only applicable to newbie and jr.

Merit indeed is not for sale, but I'm sure there are still many users who trade it in secret. This will happen even if there is a rule that prohibits it. So far I see merit is a very important part, so some people will continue to trade it.

Don't worry, they don't have unlimited smerit, eventually they will run out of it.

Yes you are right, I forgot about that. sMerit will run out because the user who get 1 merit = 0.5 sMerit, so to get 1 sMerit requires 2 merit. If so, this merit system will not last long, correct?

No.
Read this thread Merit & new rank requirements I believe you will find all answers there Wink

And I really hope this thread is on every board.
Some lazy will not know this. Some time ago there were people who openly wanted some $ per sMerit, and red paint started coloring his profile.

Yes it is, they have multiple accounts to send each other. They are using their high rank account to send merits for their own sake that's why many of the low rankings doesn't have a merits event it is a quality poster.

I am from India and not expert in making quality posts what every one mentioned but I believe that my replies can convey and convince the matter to the readers and I don't know how and in what scale our posts can be evaluated that make me confused so still not understand about merit lets wait how it works and what are the difficulties member will face because of this. What I understand is it is not easy to sell and buy merit.

we already feel the advantage and disadvantage of these merrits. but despite that , i will say that merrits is quite useful or rather important for the sake of post quality and forum cleanliness. merrits should not also for sale rather we should only earn it with hard work because that is more pleasurable if you work hard for that certain thing. you should not worry if your post dont deserve a merrit but as long as you know that your post are informative and somewhat helpful.
