Topic: Merit system is not working, failed! - page 11. (Read 2690 times)
Well now that its borderline impossible to farm up an account but at least the overall quality of the boards will go up a bit. This system might be a bit crude still at the moment but at least it is solving a problem. Especially here on the alt boards where in a lot of topics literally every 2nd post was made by a farmer.
It's kinda difficult when merit system was applied here in this forum. Since merits are given by designated members, its subjective. But I do think that it would address those spamming members low quality posts.
I personally want my account to progress to full member because of the privileges that comes with it, but any system that is unregulated eventually fails. So kudos to the moderators for this. I just hope they would be generous with the merits.

The merit system is very new right now.Many people are not getting it what it is exactly which is actually causing a problem for some.People right now exactly don't know how to increase it or how it works.We should for this reason wait for a while and then only we can judge whether it works or fails.
Quality post or coment you make thats the only matter you need to think about, if you post really worth to give merit people will give you merit anyway. Not for free cause you need to make quality post it self.
The merit system has not even started. At this moment there are many users that are exchanging merit with other that are friends or alts or are just creating fake users. But merit is limited, so even if it takes a while, that will come to an end because all those users that are spamming will not have new merit to give away.
As I understand the system, the only way in which it can become corrupted long term is if the sources of merit are farming or giving merit to posts that don´t deserve it, and even then the harm is limited.

I think with the merit system will reduce the spam because to do the post is no longer answer with sober but it must be useful.
It's a pretty good system in theory.
If they allow each user to generate a small amount of merit over time to distriute maybe it will improve.
Merit cannot be distributed but Smerit can be. However if Smerit is generated over time. Then those people who have multiple account will rank up faster then anyone who has only one account. If they allow each user to generate a small amount of merit over time to distriute maybe it will improve.
The merit system was created to control and make sure people post HQ post either than just spamming.with time i guess it will be of great relevance

the number of people who can produce merit is very small. the number of merits is limited. it is very difficult to achieve a level with these conditions.
I absolutely agree with you about this damn system, people never give you merits without money. 
I appreciate the intention behind the merit system, but the realization is terrible.
The only result is to block the situation, with legendaries with too much power and with new members with no hope to grow
(the problem in merit scarcity: even if you write masterworks, you need to hope that who read the post and appreciate it has merit to give. I can't give any merit)
If the system won't change, it will be the death of the forum.

This merits system for me helps to find multi account but it has also negative impact to thus who are newbie in the forum and it is very favorable to who is on higher rank, even if you have a very good constructive post but no one is giving a merit then you will stuck on your rank and to all newbie can't join any bounty campaign.
I believe that the Merit system will help get rid of multi-account! It's worth giving her time to prove yourself! But how to understand, the user deserved his own merit or just bought it? My opinion - do not reduce the *trust* of the user who bought the merits, but we must remove his merits!
Indeed merit system is not working at all. We can go back to the old system and all of us will satisfied.
the old system is very ineffective to maintain the quality of posts
there are so many people who use multiple accounts just to follow a signature campaign
so they throw away their shit post to raise activity and rank
I think Merit was very good idea. The merit points needed for levelling up compare to posts needed for levelling up is not very good. But has been just a week. Give it some time and will see how it is working. I bet that could be changed if the results are not right.
Anyway it is a step forward.

I don't want to argue with this. Because i don’t know anyone here in bitcointalk. So why And who well Give me Merit ?. but I hope forum moderator make this system for good future all of us.
Anyone could give you merit if someone acknowledge your post/comment as constructive and informative or if you had given a useful information that will help others. I don't know much about the technicality of the new merit system but I think that it function like the activity and got delayed to add on your profile when someone give you a merit.
The merit system is not working, look the merit points of people on the forum, it does not move (even for the more relevant posts), the forum established a system which was suppose to penalize newcomers flooding the forum with useless post, but the forum penalize itself, good luck everybody, If you think people will give you merit points for free you are mistaken.
Just relax, and wait for it to percolate throughout the forum. It hasn't even been a week yet. Merit was created to address a problem, and I believe that it is doing so relatively well.
Besides, you've got at least a month before you even need to worry about merit, due to your rank. So why care so soon?

i think this merit system is extremely hard for a normal member to rank up, it takes to long for a member to complete 100 merit to reach Full member because there are not much people want to give away their merit to another person, the rank up system can not work without anyone willingly to give their merit. i think this problem should be fixed to be more compatible to the community.
