First of all get it clear fella! This is not a decentralized forum! There is owners/founders of the forum and still taking control of it.
And then..
These merits are shareable but some of the DTs are giving redtrusts because of another abuse created by the new merit system.
how are you going to rank up?if someone intended to give you a lot of merits,would it be called abuse?for example i have 10 hero accounts and i want you to get red trust i can simply give you 50merits at once and report you to these DTs,isnt that funny?
I suppose you are referring to this thread? ->
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-users-that-are-abusing-merit-system-2823221What I see there is not a simple giving a lot of merits resulted in neg-trust, but about whether giving a lot of merits is understandable or not.
It is not about the number of merits that has been sent to some users, but to what post that merit is sent.
Do you think it is believable if a post like "good project", "joining you" and etc has 1 merit on them?
If you said no, I guess you can understand why DT users are tagging those users with neg-trust because their abuse on the merit system is quite clear.
For this example there is a BIG concern about it. Neg-Trust can be easily abused and some member can become a victim of it.
What Reypinioco mentioning is right and clear that some of the members can easily make a person become Redtrusted member by giving them merit to their post that was only replay topics or not really needed to be his/her quality posts on some section.
Are you sure joniboini that if someone giving you merits in your normal post like a replay only will not counted as Neg-Trust by DTs?
Don't be nagging when it happened to you :3. (but of course it is absolutly not me that doing it.. but maybe some people that mad about it :3.)
It's very interesting to see most of the members praising this so called 'Merit' systems are the users who already got lot of 'Merit's by default. They did NOT have to earn it like all new users will have to now!! Because you guys already got the merits by default ( as per your current rank) it's easy for you to praise this crap system!!
It's also pretty interesting to see how all the shitposters are starting to rise and come to the meta to complain about this "crap" system. I see this as a good way for people to start posting constructively, at least and not just spam for the sake of farming accounts.
I can guarantee most of the users who are blindly praising this crap system would not praise if they did not get the merit by default!! if for some reasons this 'merit' system is abolished then these same members will start praising that decision also...
Anyway, let's see how long this crappy merit 'system' can last long..
No shit sherlock. Those who genuinely care about the wellbeing of the forum is obviously praising the merit system. If you can, go on and suggest a better system to eliminate those spammers. The merit system doesn't necessarily make it impossible for people to rank up, I personally would merit someone if I find that their post is genuinely useful and not just something that has been repeated thousands of times.
Lol Holmes~ The problem is a suggestion from us is 99% being ignored and only 0.9% chance that your suggestion will reach them. 0.1% they agree with it. Take example this threads that I make
Suggestion 1 and
Suggestion 2Those both suggestion is made when I was NEWBIE! You can check the date :3.
Oh wait! You are already legendary.. Yeah of course then :3.
Okay how about this simple suggestions.. All ranked perished to Newbie again and start from 0 again?
Or at least demoted one rank to All legendary and Hero members or all the ranks so they must earn the title by the merits they should have?
With that.. I think the fairness and the chaos will become clearer :3.
What will happened by this merit system is..
- Farmer will become rich for the opportunity that has been given to them.
Selling merits is easy as shit!
- DTs gonna be ruined by this system and farmer can overwhelm it by giving merits wrongly but intentionally..
- OP's Gonna flooded on all thread sections, especially the region section! Actually my region is already a shit poster place! (of course not all of them)
- FINALLY! IF what I suggested before happened then..
ALL OF YOU WILL NAGGING HERE!! LMFAOOS!
