Topic: Merit system is not working, failed! - page 13. (Read 2676 times)
Why did you say that merit system is failed? It because the merit is the additonal system to rank up? It because its hard to get a lot of merit? What you think will the creator of merit expect on your subject. I'm not disagree on your post but the creator of merit will be disagree on your post.. I hope you will understand what i want to say. Thank you..
I think merit system is not a failure, but people are still trying to adapt to new things, I'm sure people will start to give merit to decent people, but I agree with you in one thing, people are racing more to create new posts, although not qualified, because just to get merit
Indeed merit system is not working at all. We can go back to the old system and all of us will satisfied.
maybe now the merit system does not work well, but I believe the next few months merit system will work well and effective, because this is new so do not quickly take the conclusion give a chance merit system to show it.I guess the people behind bitcointalk are not stupid to build a system that will make itself fail. So let's believe it and do not just complain. because a change will always need a process.
If you really posting quality contents this wouldnt be a problem,if you are a shitposters like most of the people here you definitely has a big problem.Spam is one of the most relevant problem here in the forum,most of the shitposters are just doing what they want from the past few years thats why theymos started to think how can he regulate these people,merit system is now the main reason why most of these shitposters will try their best to post quality contents.
I get what they are trying to do, but I don't like the fact that because I am a newer user, I have a zero score, where accounts that are older already start with 100. I feel that's not really fair, We should all start on the same level and then the great replies will get more merit, and the spammers and poor replies won't receive anything.
I actually didn't know that older accounts started with 100. Kinda beats the purpose don't you think?
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.
maybe it's too early to jump a conclusion ,just like me , i really need my precious first merit, so i tried to follow the rules, just post quality and be constructive, I'm sure you will be rewarded. 
I think the only way to stop scammer here is merit system. This is the best way to make posts of all users quality and beneficial. Some people before merit system was not put quality posts and just getting higher ranks without any handwork. But know only those who have ability to write quality posts will be get high rank while those who are unable to write quality posts will never get high rank. So we are appreciated this system.
I think we can just be patient because something ", wrote a program that imposed it all is meaningless kedepanya later, because we certainly do not know for what purpose this new merit.
The merit point is to prevent spammers and multiple account holders who just post anything to write quality post. Let all wait for some months before we can conclude is good or bad. To me is better and will force anyone to contribute constructively
Merit requirement in each rank is indeed too hard to achieve thats why theymos will definitely agree to adjust it or to be lowered so most of the new people here would have a chance to rank up,because most of the people doesnt want this new merit system but few others liked it because it prevents spamming in our forum.
Most of the people will say it sucks but few of the people here like me that just want to have more knowledge or to learn more about cryptocurrencies would say it is effective,from the past few weeks most of the spammers in the forum has lie low ,most of the shitposter who are posting nonsense from the past doesnt post anymore and for me merit is very effective.
You have gotten an example like this one. This is not my first time to see newbie is complaining about the merit system. Rather than make this thread and it may better for OP to discussing various topic in the various section too. There is a lot of people are very active to discuss in here. I've seen some people always earn more and more merit.
But the result will depend on how vital our information to others.

Merit system is created for newbies who only intended to participate in campaigns, especially signature campaign and but doesn't know how to contribute to this forum, they only wanted to earn post so that they can fulfill the requirements of the campaign. But most of this people are only spammers.
Merit system is the way to discourage people to join signature campaign especially for newbies.
Thats my conclusion on this merit system, and I really think that it is working because only few newbies are posting and most of them are just joining Facebook campaigns and Twitter campaign

Stop complaining and write something useful. And use correct section of forum, what another merit whining thread doing in altcoin section?
If you are here just to earn something, then try to get your posts worth something and maybe you'll get merit. Maybe not, but it's a right to give smerit, not a rule. So let me repeat - stop whining and do something good or just don't focus on merit and continue to talk freely on forum.

I think theymos would consider adjusting the merit system. If it continues this way (getting 1 merit here and there), it would take a long time to rank up.
I think so as well, but for now we just need to give it a try and see how things evolve.

It is not working for you, and if I am to judge you by this post and the section you have chosen to include it, I am not surprised. If you help the community you will get merit. Else...

Complain to theymos. 
Other than this if you don't like this system you can always go to other forums where you can make nice posts about crypto without signatures or at least payed ones.
Bold part is perfect example of flooding forum with useless posts, you are in wrong forum board buddy.
