It's not, it makes no sense. They can post 100 posts per day without any of them being constructive or without quality whatsoever, and with all those posts they won't be able to rank up.

Give the new system some time, it will all clear up. Tho spamming is obsolete now, the only thing I see going on will be the account selling prices going up.

That's right, sooner or later those shit posters will eventually give up on making their way up to the rankings and will be forced to join social media campaigns as they will realized that they will not be happy on what they will earn on signature campaigns with their current ranks. The time since the new system has been implemented is not yet enough to eradicate all those members but we can see that it made a change significantly.

I really wonder why those people that dont like the system are still here while they can go away find another forum that suites to what they like or maybe make their own forum and do whatever they want? Gotcha! Its all because of the sig campaign... then why hell are you complaining about the system if you are going to get profit from it. Gotcha! because you are a lazy dumbass who wants to just shitpost and gain profit from your trash!

Move on kid.

Complainment about the nre merit system is full of this board, why not the administrator take a measure to solve this problem? there is no use of this merit system but cause people disappointed to this forum, scam post will forever last if the forum run, stopping user from rank up is not a good idea indeed

I think this new merit system provides a new, innovating, and exciting way for us to openly discuss how aweful the merit system is.

Not your keys, not your coins!

The merit system launched to reduce or at least minimize number of rubbish posts (as you called). However, Theymos can not control spammers to make their posts. Of course, shitty, one-line threads will be deleted sometimes (hours or days) by the forum (by moderators, or bots - I am not sure about bots for automatically deleting shits).
In contrast, merit system has performed efficiently to enhance the quality of the forum in general, including quality of each users' thread and of the forum (of course, it is only right with construtive, contributive users). The system has also been good in terms of help users to get more knowledge faster, get helps easier because lots of users tried helping others due to effects of merit system.
So, let's think positive; let's change yourself; let's stop thinking about spammers. If they can not rank up with merit system, they will not our problems in the future, for sure.

I think first, you should improve more your posts quality to gain some merit points, and they I think you can answer your question and know if the merit system really make the difference in this forum or not. I think a lot of members with lower ranks will stuck a long time to reach next rank, because they can't make any constructive posts because they are too poor in English.

Stop critizising a system that did not even have time to create any effect whatsoever, let alone prove whether it actually works or not.

It will make a difference. After a while, shitposters and whiners such as yourself will notice that they efforts are a waste of time and produce nothing. Therefore, they will gradually quit/stop and the place will become better.

Definitely Yes jerry!

Wrong.

Was reading one of Naitiks shitposts on another thread and realised he had the cheek to discuss the merit system while passing merit between his naitik account and his jerry29.

Can’t believe you missed this ALT 😀

as a "common people" what we can do is accept this system and try to addapt or we will be left behind , in my opinion this system requires us to think before we post something good , and yeah mostly do that to get Merit point , and I think that good to reducing low quality post

Yes merit purposes is too get rid of low quality posts in the forum, and it will happen in the future. And you can not judge the system now because it is just only 2 weeks from the update till now, we need time to make it fully functioning.

What you are seeing now is because merit system is forcing people to make posts. It is natural that people join popular thread to get merits. But later on if they only do low quality post, they will realize that it is hard to rank up and eventually they will leave the forum or they will step up their game, and we will only see normal to high quality posts later on the future, but not now. And to make it works, the system need all of the forum member (especially who can give merits) to give merits to people which is worthy of it, it is kinda like encouraging people to do good things, it is a simple things but means a lot to people.

And FYI, there are some low rank members that is happy, agree, and confidence with the merit system even on your thread, and of course in my thread too, i even make infographic for it, feel free to check it at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-do-you-feel-about-this-new-system-2822349

Blockchain with a Purpose

The merit System is a good one strategy for everyone who are making and creating posts and replies with a sense, compared to other that just making conversation on the local board (gat curious and open some local board), some just saying I'm from this country, some one will reply 'same here', 'hi', 'helooo', 'how are you!', 'how was your day?', that's the post and replies I saw!
Then compare it to other boards wherein people struggle to make post then both of them gat activities after every update and rank up at the same Time??!!!!

What is this, why not create a chatting discussion outside the furom and they can just chat all day.

Overall now I have felt the benefits when the system is implemented. Now the spammers are getting less and also alt accounts have started thinking because they can not do it as before and this has started to decrease. The subject matter also has the value of good quality because everyone is motivated to give the best.

We all think that when we can get a merit point then we will have the opportunity to be able to increase incredible and well qualified account we have. This will help us to get some income, this system makes the account that we have will be highly appreciated by others.

I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but I'm going to have to completely disagree. The merit system is not meant to do anything to low-quality posts; the merit system is a form of positive reinforcement, because it rewards good behavior, it does not punish bad behavior. Therefore, the merit system is meant to reward quality posts. You say the opposite is happening, so you believe that the merit system is encouraging low-quality posts? I'm not sure how you can say this confidently, there is no evidence for this.

You're saying people are spamming more, as a result of the merit system. Do you have any statistics or information to support this theory or are you just talking out of your ass? I would hate to think you are speaking only off of an anecdote.

Yes. I have seen many spammers run-off crying from the forum already and it has given me new ambition to actually come hangout again. The merit system makes it so ranking up is extremely limited, as it should be, especially when it comes with any sort of perks.

Trying out the new system.

So many signature + avatar campaigns that require minimal amount of posts.

Another step would be a Chrome extension to fully hide certain users... Maybe something like this already exists

The merit system braught many good posts, high quality and helpful. But it seems, there are still not enough sources. Maybe it would be senseful to allocate sources for each section.

And another pajeet trying to hard. Seems like they have all swallowed a thesaurus since the merit system was introduced

Once they realize that it takes too much effort for such a little payoff, the flood of shitposts (and new shit-topics) will stop, that's my guess. These pajeets are not hard-working writers, nor are they creative. There's no way they could earn merit with what they write, so there's no way in hell any of them are going to get any unless they purchase it or have an alt account give it to them.

The merit system is still very new, and people are still playing around with it. The pajeets will figure out that it's not the lucrative game it was just a couple weeks ago, where they could post any lazy shitpost and get paid for it. Just be patient and this will work itself out.

You are a pajeet poster who is trying to use 20 words when 1 will do.. you won't get any merits

I've noticed a lot of this when I was tagging shitposters. There were a LOT of padded shitposts, and you could tell after the 5th word that the pajeet had exhausted its vocabulary and was just repeating the word "bitcoin" like a broken record.

Little by little, yeah. People are starting to post-to-discuss and not just to complete their requirements in campaign. People now are actually interacting and connecting, instead of ignoring the earlier posts. People are now thinking before the post cause they want each post to be meaningful. Because people now, if they want to rank up, need merits.

We can't control people and stop them from making threads (since this is an open forum) and it's not their fault they want to get noticed. But we can remind them not to do this.

Yep, in order to have a healthy forum everyone needs to be engaging with each other in a real discussion. There are countless threads out there with 100s of posts that all respond with the exact same message because the person posting on page 30 didn't even bother to read through page 1 to see if there was a similar response. Just a bunch of mindless posts being thrown out there, but now with the merit system we might actually see more people actually engaging with each other.

Time will tell on if the merit system actually works. I believe it will
