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.

You are being a judge in your own court.

The merit system is working. I started to work on my post quality when I read this post. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-get-free-merit-2828892. You too go and read and see how you can improve too.

Complaining will not remove the merit system.

The merit system is better working than red trust color overall in the forum.

I agree. Finally DT members can get positive recognition for something, instead of just receiving complaints about negative trust.

I like the new merit system, and I think over time it will really help the forum.

If you againts by the decision of theymos and what should do best things for this forums just it for in arrangement for goodness and safest of member on scammers and spammers that making shitpost and topic that not related on bitcoin and crypto discussions.Dont be imagine it is bad,If i have 100 merit and i send what i can like post with good and being constructive i should decrease my merit and no problem on me because we are new and inspired to post with quality and back again merit while you make a perfect or have quality or fully knowledge criteria and dont go for rushing time to take rank and activity,Being obedient and respectfull is needed in this forum and not for personally intentions or needed.

For now I see some positive and negative aspects of this system. There is definitely less meaningless posts around but at the same time there are more meaningless threads. This is primarily due to the fact that people see that OPs receive more merit points. But I think this phenomenon will disappear soon.

Maybe something like a star or some kind of mark somewhere in the post or near the name of that reply, so you know it's a quality post. Something like that would be nice if you're scrolling through the spam.

That is a great idea. Maybe you could also suggest that in the main merit thread.
But we need a sophisticated system to point out the right merited posts...... Seems to be difficult to me, the longer I am thinking about it.

The merit system is better working than red trust color overall in the forum. There are many nice and helpful threads written by all ranks. If I were able, I would have distributed already thousends of merits to newbies, legendaries and all between them.
There is rarely a harm without benefit. That way I can save a lot of reading work.

So I do not envy the sources.

Yeah, I'm giving out 1-2 merit points (so I can distribute it more among users) to show that it's there and to remind people about it.

Only a little people knows about Merit right now, it is hard to see a someone got a merit in the bitcoin or altcoin discussion. Sad

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.

Gaining merits are supposedly hard, if gaining merits would be easy then the mods' preventive measures for spammers and rank farmers would be negated. Yes it is hard but it's not impossible. Plus the "only good thing" you said is a huge improvement for the members as well as the forum.

Stop kidding and spamming the forum, bro. You will get nothing from spamming after the launch of Merit system. In fact, the system has performed perfectly at least in the objective of controlling ranking-up progresses of spammers

To clarify, only constructive users can get Merit points from others. Please stop complaining, starting to contribute in order to earn Merits you eagerly wanted.

well, that just a new system.. too fast if u judge merit failed. we just dont know what is a criteria a good comment as merit need, that the problem. we think our comment was good, but maybe its not count as good comment in merit system.

And what you wrote here is a good example of a shitty 3rd world post by someone trying to write in a language they don't really know. What's the purpose of you writing this? It contributes nothing, even if you wrote it perfectly--which you very much didn't. Stick to the local boards. You're never going to get merit points by writing such drivel. You're the whole reason the merit system was created, IMO.

Too early to say that, sweetie. Some people are giving merit but, yeah, a little number.

The whole point of merit is giving somebody merit for quality content, not for free.

number of merit is a prove of your work on forum. I do believe people will give it to you if you make a good content of post that usefull for community.

if the merit will give us according to the post thread is good and useful. and we will be given if according to the number of posts that work may be up again level is not it so ??

If that's the case, maybe it would be better if like that because sometimes it is actually depend on thread and its about on how do you post it.

Give it time, it's only few week from the start of new merit system. People need time to learn about it and how to use it. I think it to early to make judgement about work this system or not.

Personally for me it's seem to high 1000 merit for the legendary, but we all come to crypto not for 1 years, right? So keep calm and make good posts.

Yeah, we need time to adjust to new merit system.
i personally think that this system is quite good, less spammer, but also disadvantage for newbie in bitcointalk forum.

There will always be pros and cons for any change. A positive and negative side for everything. Now if you are more inclined to looking into the negativities if things, then you won't be able to move forward and all you will do is keep whining senselessly. Try looking at the bright side, the positive one. Now I believe that the merit system has more of it than the other side. It's just a matter of fully understanding how things work so that you could get a grasp on them. But if you intently refuse to accept things even if you do understand, then that's just plain selfish. And all your stress and frustrations will be all on your own doing!

True, i see a sea of relevant and quality posts but people seem to be stingy with their sMerits. I for one don't give out much merits because i feel that if i give it to this post i won't have a merit back. But hey, the merit system is still young and the system is fairly new. Maybe we should have a courtesy type of deal where we give a merit and we get a merit back. Bht then again, the whole purpose of the merit system will be mute. Let's wait it out and I'm sure the moderators and adminstrators will make a smart move in the future

Can't say that it doesn't work. It's like 2-3 weeks since it was invented into this forum. It needs time; users will get used to grant merit to others and it's movements will kinda speed up. Just some time I think.

I agree, by implementing the merit system, nonsense posts are reduced and the forum is looking good now compared to the previous months. Many people are still angry of this implementation especially those who were farming accounts but of course they can't do anything about it anymore. It was the moderator's decision and they are just doing their job.
