I would modify the merit system. Now without merit you can not increase the level of your account. I would allow to increase the level without merit in the usual mode, but with merit in the accelerated
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.
I totally agree with you.There will no one who would be ready to give its only merit point to someone as he is unsure whether he will get it back from anyone.And involving the ranking system with merit point is just not fair as if someone who is Sr.member and just after this announcement of merit he becomes Hero member by activities but definitely he will not have that much merit points and he will have to wait till 250 merit points more to get and that is invincible task according to this situation.This means people are stuck with there ranks and that is not good at all.
I don't think so 
. I think it's working really good by preventing account farming activity . Your account will be useless without merit so nobody can farm account for sale anymore. LOL. People whom often moan about this cause their post quality is not good enough to be able to receive Merit point from other member. Try to increase your post quality and you'll see how good Merit is working atm

Absolutely expect the unexpected. But this is not rightful to say some words that you didn't know what was going on behind in our capability to see all bitcoin communities doin. Even the merit system will not work properly let us still be educated in this forum. Let us avoid saying negative words to our fellow members. Just do what you can until such time the good member will give us merit without any kind of return as you stated not for free but hopefully you are mistaken. As far as I know not every person is the same.
Please provide some evidence who is/are that person who wants to pay for merit.

The creation of the Merit system to avoid creating accounts and manipulating the forums is not reasonable and makes it difficult for people who join the bctalk for the long time ago. Indeed merit for someone to me is not very comfortable because the interface of forum merit does not stimulate me to give merit to the quality writers. Also, I realize that most people are going to give merit to each other to increase their account rankings.
Merit system can be necessary in order to filter spam/low quality posts but it needs to be improved. Basically now few merits are distributed and it is almost impossible to raise your level.
I was one week away to become Full Member now I need 90 (ninety) merit points in order to be promoted. We passed from a system where it was too easy to be promoted to one where it is almost impossible to rank up with the current merit distribution

I do not quite agree. I started to see more quality posts. But the system is very crude and not worked out. I hope they will change.
You are right,not all the quality posts are being recognized by most of the people here in forum,the merit system will fail and im sure theymos would do something about this,as he promised he will adjust this when most of the new folks find it hard to get merits.The only good thing about the merit system is,most of the spammers lately are being forced to post quality contents for them to get some merit points.
I agree. Unfortunately, not all members in the forum who are posting or replying in threads are given their due share of merits even if they are really posting quality contents or materials. It's not that I am saying that the system is a failure, but it is not fair to those who are not recognized. Also, how about for those people who have "connections" that they have built over the years that can give them merits on a whim as compared to those starting up member who are just clawing their way to gain a higher rank. I think that there should be some tweeks on how the merit system works so that everyone can rightfully gain and rank up.
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.
System is not perfect yet, some good post were missed, some of lower quality were merited. Give it some time.But overall this should stop rank farming.
Still you can read and search high quality content on the forum.
I really do hope that merit system will show itself as a filter and will remove tons of shit-threads and clone-threads.. or at least will make their amount lower.
System doesn't work very well. Admin will try their best to enhance the rules in BTT forum. I hope they will adjust the merits system otherwise it will be complicated on this forum.
i realy dont understand please what is the benefit

I think that this is a very useful function and it has a perspective.
The main thing is to add clarity and more sources to get Merit points.
I agree it will not reward all the good posters and some will try to abuse it
however it does slow down and hopefully will eventually destroy the bots and useless account farmers.
Even better if they merit starts to erode massively with reports (found true) of spam and bot posting. False report = loss for reporter.

We should have patience. The system is still new and people need time to accepting and to use it. In maybe one or two month the system works better. I have no worries about the merit system.
This merit system is kind of headache for the new comers. These merit points is hard to increase and it will be more difficult to increase. I thing that this system is for removal of some spammers but it is bad for the real users.

Merit is given to those who deserve it. Did you make a thorough study on the current merit system that made you conclude that the system is not working? What is your basis or its just because you don't get merits on your posts that's why you concluded that the merit system is a failure. Its not even more than 2 weeks, give it a chance.
It was never about the merit, which perchance is a new implementation, attempting to improve the quality of responses and relevant information. These forums and threads are still an exchange of ideas and suggestions, where though deserving merit will be given, that should not be the focus of our responses.
Well merit was established to help us recognized which users are really providing constructive and qualitative posts so that those who are not deserving will not rank up because the increasing number of shit posters around here which is why I think the moderator created this kind of system, in which we should take on it as a challenge.
I don't agree that merit system isn't working.
There is noticeably less spam and everyone is trying to write meaningful comments now!

I see this new system as a spammers remover and completion of the "ghost".
But there are still many who are stingy to give merit to a quality thread. Because they are scared if they aren't give merit back. Btw could it be those who give merit to a bad quality thread. Who have more than one account so they gave each other their own account.
