You can see having an Member account in this forum is a thing that's so hard now, Merit was created to decrease the bots, fake members who try to sell their account (this is high-risk trade which you can be scammed). Merit will increase quality of bounties and airdrops (things which people consider the most in this forum)

No, merit is good, but there should be another way, except get one from users. It's too random.

personally me think merit system should not be there and ranks should be done via there post counts and quality of its posts
That's why you're crying out loud because you haven't receive any merits. HAAA! Maybe you should take a look and review your construction of statements before making some col posts and acting like you're the only one stepped on by this merit system. After realizing that, you know what to do  Wink

I very much agree.
Because of the Urals rank using merit is very difficult in my opinion, my activity was more than 150 but keep my account member.
Not everyone will merit sharing them with us, there's even a group of people who only share with her group to raise their rank but does not share their merit with others.

Stop making conspiracy theories and making lies out of your own feelings. If you cant rank up then stop crying and move one. There will be a bit of favouritism among merit sources because its human nature. If you are unable to obtain merits - you cant do anything about it except moving on.

Can be translated it as "Why are you not allowing me to rank up based on the amount of spam I create? This should stop right now! Me doing a hard work by posting so many one-liners every day and without the merit system, Me would have been a Sr.Member by now!"
Well spammers can forget about that since those old days when people could farm accounts with posting one-liners everyday is long gone and such bottomfeeding shitposters should find some other source of income than spamming this forum with signatures.

I´m not a believer in the merit system as well, but we can not change it. A simple signature ban and all your spamming problems in this forum would disappear in seconds...

But i dont think anyone will change anything in the mind of the forum leaders, especially when every second Hero/Legendary is telling about the great success of the merit introduction (i dont see that).

There are some choices left:

1. Leaving the forum
2. Stop caring about the rank
3. Make some very "useful" infografics, which are loved by some merit holders  Undecided
4. Make some good posts and pray for the kindness of the creator of some "giveaway threads" (These guys have to feel almighty, because they registered a year earlier)
5. Make a big post with some grafics about the "Great success of the Merit implementation" (i bet, u get a merit for that)
6. Search the forum for evil spammers and report them in the many report threads. (Is it good for a forum, if one of the easiest way to earn Merits is to report others?)
7. Buy a btctalk account

I go with 2

Congratulations for being so lame. If you wanted to make us laugh, then you already had failed. Using "Me" as if you want to tell us that your English is good and you just are being sarcastic. The merit system should not be removed and it already is a success, not to mention that it reduced lots of shitposts. So, if you want to be useful, do us a favor and do not post these kind of threads from now on. You have one merit point. Good luck on your journey.

When I joined this forum, I thought same as like you but recently I search some good merit received profiles and finally realized why they achieve merit. According to my understanding to achieve merit to our post;

We should have good English knowledge and Try to post interesting post/repost for increase quality of the forum.
Having knowledge about bitcoin, technical development, blockchain and security issues is useful.  
Also continuously posting into thread and reduce posting mega/Useless thread.
Update latest news relate to cryptocurrency and reduce posting bounty thread.

What if removed merit system? Then this forum will become useless. Every person will rank up by posting anything. Hence I believe merit system should exist. Should do some effort to achieve it. I also try to do my best for forum worthy to merit.

Thanks

Going to heaven is not an easy as 123, you need good deeds to climb up the stairs.



as of its too hard for new comers too to gather merits from old members who always do trades and exchange merit only for them but the person who is new and if he dont has btc to exchange then its less chance for him even after posting quality post on bitcointalk forum


You must study the prayer before start praying, besides shooting a stone in a big rock will never change anything.

LOL, As I can see the merit system improves the post quality of the new members who are entering the cryptocurrency world and for those people who joins the forum to make some money and become knowleadgeable at different aspects in crypto world. This is good tool for stopping bump replies and unconstructive posts.

They are earning but they dont have a knowledge? THAT'S A NO NO Reflect deeper on your post.

What needs to be changed?
- Merit hasn't removed the spam, maybe has reduced it, but who knows?

Merit has not been around long enough to effectively reduce spam.
   Undecided

Theymos stated that although it may be abused, eventually the abusers will run out of merit.

Right now there is a market for merit, so people just assume they will be able to buy their way past the wall if they need, so they spam as usual.  Once these sales dry up people will stop spamming.

Just have patience.  Smiley

Merit it's good for some reasons: (but need some changes, imho)
- Merit is a good system, prevent scammers to join high rank signature with high ranks alts.
- Merit is designed to improve quality of post, and someone is doing his or her best.
- Merit is a good way to find alts https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/known-alts-of-any-one-a-user-generated-list-mk-iii-2021-q2-2544574 hoping more of them will be tagged!

What needs to be changed?
- Merit hasn't removed the spam, maybe has reduced it, but who knows? Spam can be a personal concept and without statistics is impossible to tell if it is true.
- We need more sources; forum is not covered on all areas with an adequate number of sources.
- Decrease the number of required merit to advance rank. (30% in my opinion is a good number). Why? Abusers still abuse the system and they really do not care if they need to trade/buy/pass form alt 100/200/500 sMerit but for normal people is a good balancing after the end of the airdropped merit, while ±30% for an abuser means nothing, for a normal users means a lot!

lol now dont give me merit for this i know the points which me said is true and many will agree Tongue

Instead of whining here, start doing your research and find some article/s or idea/s that will help the bitcointalk community. I started from the scratch (0 merit) just like you. If you focus on just earning merits, you will feel that earning it, is so difficult. But, if you focus on learning, you will enjoy your time here. There are so many ideas that you can contribute in our community, you just need to find your happiness or your strength, e.g., you are good on making infographics, about blockchain, cryptography or anything that you are good at(of course related to bitcoin). I am sure you will earn your merit if you just contribute without thinking any return (merit). Knowledge is power.

I can't believe I'm saying this to you of all people, but I would recommend the ignore button  Wink

I think I've worn it out - I was thinking of starting a thread asking for a larger one. Smiley

I was tempted, but I've been looking at some other sites, and a lot of the problems here stem from different policies adopted by the admins. For example, Steemit has members running paid bots to increase post ranking, and if you come from that environment, then I can understand the confusion of some newbies. I think that policy at Steemit is wrong, but they have a completely different economic model for the site. I believe that the combination of activity and merit in its pure form is the best concept for Bitcoin Talk. The big problem seems to be in preserving its purity.

All that doesn't imply approval of posting in unintelligible swamp speak though.

Please can you do a bit of work on your posting before you hit the "post" button. Spelling would help, and the removal of foreign language words. The first sentence is the only part of your post that I understood.
