Topic: Merit system fact (Read 679 times)
I agree that merits are difficult to get but if you read the post about the good old days of this forum, I'm sure you will feel so small that you even feel very reluctant to post. Let alone complaining about not getting merits and not ranking up. That's what happened to me. Every discussion were contributed from different perspectives, both tech and ideas.

The fact is, over-quoted, boring content threads like this one will definitely never receive any merit point.To avoid over-quoted or pyramid quoted threads, please read this one:
Tips for newbies, who want to avoid over-quoting
That's not right. Newbie and junior members are seen to be small in all places.
Dont generalize bitcointalk forum to be the same as the people you see in every place of earth.Quote

And now in the present system, Merit is needed to move from any rank to higher rank, and for which the Merit source has to be dependent and the rules that they give is to be followed. Then they give merit as a reward. Hopefully you reach the high rank of Merit which was given by the seniors.
If you come to this forum with the intention of getting ranked up within a month or so- please leave this forum. This forum is made for discussions about crypto and not a place for pajeets to shitpost and vomitpost to get paid blabbering every bit of nonsense they can make up from their donkeybrains.Quote
And please do not look at the newbie and junior members in a small eye. They have to follow this method to reach them even higher rank. Even you also follow this system.
If they are being a crybaby about merit they will get added to the ignore lists of merit sources - Live with that.Quote
So, be serious..
LOL.
As it stands, it is currently broken. It is simply too hard to obtain merit despite the quality of your posts, which is difficult in its own right to even get many opportunities because honestly there are very few quality discussions on this forum to begin with. I think if members hadn't been grandfathered in there would be far more outcry than there is.
However, I do think the current system can be improved substantially to give us something more functional. It's current incarnation is unacceptable though, in my opinion.

my opinion:
1. merit system is good to stop some scammer.
2. but it is also a bad thing for those who are not scammer and not getting rank up for this hard system.
Actually it is very hard to get merit.
sometimes you are writing some good thing or good topic but you are not getting merit because a good viewer did not see your post or thread.
So guys! what is your opinion about this Merit system?
Merit is good things for this forum , of course i'm want to get merit , but i'm understand what merit need to deserve and i'm must developing , don't be a lazy and not like before only write posts and wait a new rank. 1. merit system is good to stop some scammer.
2. but it is also a bad thing for those who are not scammer and not getting rank up for this hard system.

Merit is actually good but I find it difficult to get. So it is very difficult to rank up, but if your post is very beneficial to people on this platform, you will be rewarded with a merit to move up in ranks.
I will advice you to forget about the merit system and just go about your activities here. Use the forum for what it's meant for and with time, your posts will be noticed and viola merits will start pouring in. Engage in conversation, make yourself popular through your constructive posts. All the best.

It is a rule and must be obeyed. For those who want to rise to a higher rank, merit is the only mandatory key we must have. Maybe we've made a post that we think is good, but not necessarily others think it's good. Emotionally and it is normal we will always assume that what we do is the best because it is based on our own judgment, but according to the general view it is not necessarily good.
Great. A merit thread. Exactly what this forum needed.
Giving merits for threads like that is the green light! Will see them more. Better to ignore such treads and force to lock it. Whoever wants to make the thread about merits should learn how to prove their opinions, not just state something as a fact.
I really like zentdex's threads, he's giving heads up about merit situation in the forum for some period of time. Data are not subjective and not lying. Did we really reduce the number of spam posts since the introduction of merit system? Can you prove it by some sort of graph?

You mainly just replace 2-3 word posts farming activity with something that's spammy in a completely different way.. one of the biggest problems I see in trying to be helpful (and hell I even do this) is you end up talking a lot more at the poster, and less in covering conversations... I see posts with 300 pages of responses still giving the OP advice, lol. Maybe that's better than spammers.. who knows.. I certainly feel like I post differently because of merit, I'm just not sure that the difference is all that much more constructive. People are really good at BSing the system, so it becomes a balancing act of being who you are vs what you perceive others want you to be.

it is an irony when in the title you said merit system fact yet your post is about your opinion 
Yeah, it really got me. When I saw the threads title when I visit Meta section I thought it was really a fact. But it got me wrong, it's just a shitpost containing nothing but a shit. Yet, OP is still encouraged to create such a thread without knowing it's real content. Merit? To stop scammers? Well, let's just hope that this one is not the last post we can see about this kind of topic that has been posted over and over again
Looks like Bitcointalk is in a loop of these shitposters trying to manipulate us by their repeatedly nonsense topics. 
I think bitcointalk is forum/opinion which helps the people to discuss themselves about crypto-currency. But it's also a place where people can find earning method and people discuss themselves about this. And everybody knows that Bitcointalk is not a place for competition, it' forum through people can learn about crypto-world so that they can use their knowledge in their future work about crypto currency. So, the people should not make any competition, just learn from here and use them in your works. You will be able to solve any of your problems. Best of luck✌✌
I agree with you. maximum people join this forum only for earning money but no read about and help others so. I think merit system is best one system for stop spammer & shitposter. but merit system hard for all people rank up, I do not think there is a need for a word or something to say here, it's a matter of itself alone. Read my last statement, it is just the fact that mostly newbies are the one who's complaining in this system. (I'm serious)
Edit: if a member is confident enough with the content of his/her posts without having merit as a subject, there should be no complains or anything. You will receive merit in time whatever your rank is.
I agree that to get merit is very tough. I am like you ,I also get 1 merit till now.
<...>
Been there, done that. Stay strong bro! lol<...>
Anyway, the fact: we cannot do meaningful discussion in Bitcoin Discussion & Altcoin Discussion. I'm not a fan of a reputation point, but I don't care as long as this will make mentioned boards "great again." At least now many interesting topics arise in Development & Technical Discussion. #clap

Another merit thread.lol I really enjoy reading this kind of thread specially when a newbie will post and then another newbie-jr.member will follow up in whining about the merit system or give suggestions on how to get merit and then the higher rank members will follow. Over and over. Life cycle of merit thread

Don't hate please just stating the fact In my opinion you need to stop thinking about the merit system and receiving merits. You are still a newbie which already is telling me tha you just want to rank up to a higher level that is why you are expecting to receive merits from your post. You should focus more on improving your post more and don't expect merits to come everytime you post. Along the way you will be surprised on how often you would receive merits even to the posts you think are not worthy of merits are receving one.
I agree with that. Cause Even without merit, Bitcointalk is still a community that helps people to learn more about cryptocurrency. Merit itself is too scarce and only a handful of these Smerit is given every month so we shouldn't stress ourselves about this matter, We should aim to be a better poster and help each other out so people can see that we're trying to help out if they are impressed maybe they give one or two merit....👌👌

jes thats the case, but ts not realy that important to have a high rank in my oppinion,
my anger with the merit system earned me the red negative trust as i opposed it because of that issue.
its even worse that the mods are enforcing now their believes on others. but this will also age this forum ultimately and create room for other new forums
ps:
i gave you some merit btw. pharmacist needs to regularily hear the two medals of the merit system
How does the merit system stop scammers?
He probably meant "spammers" but he's the type of person who calls people on DT "devs", as in "plz dev I have did nothing wrong, plz plz.....remove fdback"--you know what I'm talking about. The type of person who doesn't even know enough English to solve captchas.Merit sources need to increase. Thats all.
I kind of agree with that, even though earning merits isn't a personal concern of mine since I can't rank up any more than I have. I've often debated in my head whether I should apply to be one, but then I foresee myself pulling my hair out like Jet Cash trying to find posts that are any good. Frankly, I'm comfortable not venturing outside of Meta & Reputation much, and I can't imagine it'd be any fun reading through garbage in Economics or other related sections where the shitposters congregate like bedbugs.It's supposed to be harder for people to rank up now, but it shouldn't be an impossible task--the merit system wasn't designed to erect that much of a barrier. More sources would definitely alleviate some of the anguish, but people like OP ought to realize that they're just shitposters and don't deserve merit at all. They want something for nothing.
my opinion:
1. merit system is good to stop some scammer.
Merit was not created to stop scammers. In fact there is nothing that can stop a person from scamming another person. Trust can be a prophylactic measure but not a way to stop scammers. 1. merit system is good to stop some scammer.

I'm pleased that it has generated some merit for you. I appreciate the work, and the thought that you put into that post.

I've lost track of the number of projects I'm running to try to encourage members to create meritable posts and threads. I'm having virtually no success, but I did manage to suggest that a member posted about the Bazilian economy and the truck drivers strike.This was for The Library project on my merit source blog, and I added the link here - The Brazilian truck drivers' strike.
The thread is in the Ivory Tower, and it's already picking up merits. I need some more really good quality threads to list there. Don't forget that if English isn't your first language, you can get help with the translation through the Fit to Talk English project.

Create a new topic where we can discuss your project.(I don't know what is it exactly)

Indeed!! I thrashed out 3 minutes of my precious time trying to find something useful in his posting activity: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/shahinameen-1334313
Nothing was found. The second time today I spend time in a newbie begging for merits.
Regarding the topic, from the last month each day we have to do digest topics like this one on the Meta board. Every day we have a newbie or a JR telling us how we must change the merit system in order for they to rank-up, but showing a lamentable post activity.
You want to rank-up?? Care your image in here. Make only good posts. Give us something useful to find in your post history.
my opinion:
1. merit system is good to stop some scammer.
2. but it is also a bad thing for those who are not scammer and not getting rank up for this hard system.

You have 6-month-old registration, TILL now you have posted only 27 posts. It means you are not serious member od this forum and You are blaming the merit system.
Who post the quality post, he will get the merit definitely.
sometimes you are writing some good thing or good topic but you are not getting merit because a good viewer did not see your post or thread.
You got the reply for you post within half an hour with 6 members out of which 2 are hero members 1 sr.memebr. If your post had some good content, they definitely gave you merit.
More and more people have no ideas how to earn merits and try to repeat threads which they have just read. I forecast new threads next 2 days: "Merit is a evil", " Merits is absolutely unfair for Newbees and Jr. Members", "We should change these rules", "Merits is the best thing which happened at this forum" and so on. OMG 
More and more thread like this nowadays. I dont know when this will be over haha. But to be honest, it is an irony when in the title you said merit system fact yet your post is about your opinion . You dont get a lot of merit because of some reasons and if its happen to you doesnt mean it happens to others. I see many members get merits easily because they have quality in their self, which you dont have at all.

This thread, and the two newbie posts are examples of the problem that restricts the awarding of meits. Double spacing, and coloured text doesn't enhance your post, quite the reverse in fact. Also, the increase in low value posts such as those mentioned, make it hard for merit awarders to find quality posts, so they end up living in the Ivory Tower or the tech boards. This is bad for newbies, as their posts won't be read by those who award merits. Starting threads like this may get the poster placed on ignore, and that is another way to stop yourself getting merit.
Your best bet is to lock this thread ( the link is on the left below the last post ), and hope that it doesn't damage your reputation too much.

Still I think,we still didn't not reach the level of quality post , which this forum require.
Every post have been read by some members.If we do our best,we will definitely get the merit one day.
Don't think so much about the merit.Follow the rules and post...
Don't blame the system... If we are not getting,then we have some problem in our post.Try to find them.

How many more of these threads do we need? Merit isn't that hard to get, but it is for those who don't really offer anything worthwhile in their posts. Excellent posters will get merit very fast. Average posters may take a while but will get it eventually, and shitposters will never get it.
How does the merit system stop scammers? It was implemented to stop people like you making low quality posts just to rank up and looking at your posts it obviously works. Which posts of yours deserving merit have gone unmerited? I can't see any. I noticed you already have received one merit though, but too bad it's for content you plagiarised:

here your answers.
It's very important to note that all coins or tokens are regarded as cryptocurrencies, even if most of the coins do not function as a currency or medium of exchange.
"Tokens:
Tokens are a representation of a particular asset or utility, that usually resides on top of another blockchain. Tokens can represent basically any assets that are fungible and tradeable, from commodities to loyalty points to even other cryptocurrencies!
Creating tokens is a much easier process as you do not have to modify the codes from a particular protocol or create a blockchain from scratch. All you have to do is follow a standard template on the blockchain – such as on the Ethereum or Waves platform – that allows you to create your own tokens. This functionality of creating your own tokens is made possible through the use of smart contracts; programmable computer codes that are self-executing and do not need any third-parties to operate. It really is super cool!"
Altcoin:
"Alternative cryptocurrency coins are also called altcoins or simply “coins”. They’re often used interchangeably. Altcoins simply refers to coins that are an alternative to Bitcoin. The majority of altcoins are a variant (fork) of Bitcoin, built using Bitcoin’s open-sourced."
