I think there is a strong need for deactivating or atleast ameding this merit system, i do not think it has provided any positive effect on forum, moreover it has generated anger and discouragement in members and also have given a chance for new forums and platforms to come up, so i hope management will seriously look into this system and make the required action soon.

I am really surprised that merit points are selling a @10, I was really not aware about it. I think merit points should not be bought like this, if it is true, as there is no use of then merit points to post quality post to the bitcointalk thread, but I also suggest the rules for merit points should be made flexible as in these days no body gives merit points at all.

Hi everyone. Its been long time since providing merit system. Firstly i thought its good idea. To improve your rang you should write good quality posts to get merit. It means less shit posting here, less spam. But what we see now? Nobody gives you this, people started to sell merit. You can just buy it with horrible ptice, 1 merit - 10$. So you have only 2 ways: buy merit or buy account, and you can be banned abusing forum ruless. Or stay with your rang forever. Whad do you think now about this system a few month later after providing?
The Merit sale case, I think this is scam.Extremely difficult for you to get 1 Merit, so I do not think they will sell it at a price of 10$/1Merit.

We can’t please everybody to do the right thing like that but make it as a lesson that we should not follow what they have done because this is not a good thing to do as investors in this business.

I knew it would get to this even the high ranked on btt hardly gives merits to high quality post only sharing it among each other.I think the purpose for introducing the merit into the system has already been defeated.

Merit has its pros and cons.
Pros: clears the forum of bots and non-quality content
Cons: Merit is not always given for quality information and not all of it is used for its intended purpose.

To be fair, with or without the merit system, some are still selling their bitcointalk accounts.
On selling merits, it is unfortunate that some people would do this as I am sure this is not purpose why the system was put in place. I do not think forum admins can prevent this. I guess we'll just have to see what measures they will implement to somehow minimize this.

The idea of merits was very good, but as a result it became just a token of the forum. Nevertheless, the number of grades improved significantly. I think this was the ultimate goal.

Buying merit is not good, it will expose you, when merit will be transferred to your account, you could be banned from Bitcointalk Forum. Merit system was created to help members to read or create constructive & educative posts. Post good post from your side, it is hard to get merit but not impossible. We should follow the rules of the Forum.

indeed the merit system makes a dilemma, after the merit we hard to increase the rank and must make a quality post, but sometimes there is a quality post but do not get any merit at all, while there are not qualified but get a lot of merit. maybe the merit system must be fixed first

Merit selling & Account selling is really abusing this forum rules. But no one will be able to survive these tasks for a long time.Merit system is amazing initiative for forum. Because a lot member posting low quality for growing forum rank. Even i see many people randomly posting in local board. Now their rank does not increase due to merit system that's why they trying to buy Smerit or account.

I am against illegal actions, no matter what they are. If it is forbidden to sell merit, they should be punished for this.

Post quality becomes the main indicator to get merit in this forum. Thus, buying and selling merit becomes a difficult thing to do and very risky to your account. Keep striving to make quality posts and deserve to get merit. July 17, 2018, 11:56:34 AM
It is kind of very difficult to gain merits these days, I have been on this forum for several months now and have not been able t upgrade (I know i do not have the best of posts, but at least I am not spamming).It is sad to see merits being sold.It is highly unprofessional

I think we should not do any actions that violates the rules of the organization
because it is really unethical to do. I think we should always follow the rules because it is for our safety also.

I think both options are not worth it. We can get merit if our posts are in good quality, it is hard to get merit but it's not impossible to get it. The flaws of merit system should be corrected. It's a quite big amount for me to buy merit then suddenly you will get banned because of this.
Yes you are right there are some flaws in the merit system, for the admin side they should think first of their system before implementing it and to the users side since this was implemented atleast don't be corrupted if you have merits to give because I think it is being selfish.

I think that the Merit system has not improved the community in any way because many just sell merits or accounts, as they did before ..
July 11, 2018, 04:26:11 PM
As for me i think the merit system is a good way to get rank in the forum but the only mistake there is that it shouldn't be awarded by each other i think bitcointalk forum team should be the ones awarding merit this would make people want to write more and buy less.
July 11, 2018, 04:21:03 PM
I think that the system should be refined. In it, obviously, the moments associated with the manipulation of the number of merit are not forgiven. If you are a loner and you do not have a dozen accounts that increase your reputation, then you are likely to stay on the same level forever, and this seems to me very unfair and requires modification.
