Topic: Merit system working? Really! (Read 720 times)
I am here supporting the Merit system with sincerity of purpose based on the primary objective with which the system is originated to achieve. Even if I'm not saying this or in any manner trying to woo merit to myself, my fair is that will this system at the long run be just, fair , build goodwill and better atmosphere for all members in this forum? It shall go well with everyone of us if it is actually bringing sanity to the forum posts and not to over ride but to be encouraged junior members in the forum. Thanks.

# I do post a lot coz I believe contributing to any community build up the community strong. But look at my account I don't have much appreciation from the higher ranked people who has a lot of merits to help me. I am not blaming them not to give me. May be they are not seeing my post. Do you think most of them have all the day to look for good post to merit other?
This thing is what I really concern of. I'm not bragging or uplifting my self esteem but I can say that I am a good quality poster here in the forum. I always do my very best in conveying my ideas and never ever tried to do shitposts at all. But in return, I only got 1 merit and take note it took so long to have it. It seems that my effort is not appreciated by others but I'm not blaming them because I understand that maybe they don't have a merit to give, they conserve their merits or they are choosy etc., I just feel sad about it. Just an advice for those good posters who have this same situation, continue your good deeds and stop complaining because it will help nothing. Blessings will come to us at the right time, be patient.
Explain me why this post got so many sMerits https://prnt.sc/i9i0tu where my post got this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/should-you-be-worried-2858083 (this when I am posting https://prnt.sc/i9i19c )
Well, it is a funny post from a drunk, that's why he got the merits

that is right, the merit system seems not work well. I have difficult to update my rank member.
You've made eight posts since the system was introduced, and they were all one liner shit.
You will never update your rank. I suggest you find a different forum. :/

I guess we should wait and give some time for people to adapt and become comfortable with this system.I feel your pain but you are not the only one,even a full member like me is worried how in the world are they going to rank up,i need 150 merits to rank up!!!.
I had dreams to become a legendary member in this forum,but those sweet dreams of mine have been shattered.NOT totally though but it may require double the time now.

Why do you need to rank up? The merit system was created to benefit those who want to talk bitcoin, not those that want to advance their rank....

Yeah, just post something that has sense and is worthy of the stakes whichever campaign you're in. The forum has rules and so we have to obey.
Posting something that makes sense is not good enough. People should be on this forum because they want to learn and share that knowledge, not because of signature campaigns. You can look on sig. campaign as a reward for your posts. And yes, we should all follow forum rules.I have realized all of this after harsh truth in owlcatz and joniboini posts (which are few posts above). Low quality posts are the problem that needs to be dealt with, and when we do that High quality posts will stand out even more. Also when our posts reach satisfying quality, Merits will start coming.
As I can see right now, only posts with good content gets merit. I think posts that has sense and is actually efficient and gets the merit because the operator deserves it. And also I am not looking forward only for the stakes of the campaign, like what you said, they're rewards given to you. Low quality posts and spam are exactly in my opinion is the reason why we have merits. And yes, they have to be dealt with and make posts that are actually legitimate.
Yes merit system would be really working if we should follow their rules and regulations.Post with a sense and can make sure that it can help to forum.I realized that I need to improved my post and learn many things about cryptocurrency.

Anyway I have got the solution. We don't have to worry about the merit system. Just have to keep posting quality content. May be we will catch the sight one day. It is for sure. May be you could get merit for other posting you are not expecting. Hopefully our senior will be more generous and kind to give merit point. Keep posting. We love this forum. We can't live without it.

It is too early to judge the merit system in my opinion. We can analyze the effects only after few months.

Personally, I dont want to offend your thread, but I have spent a couple of mins to look at your recent posts. I think that those posts don't deserve to get Merits. It is due to the fact that there is some problem related to the initial purpose of those ones, which can not help other users in the forum to solve their problems. It seems that you tried writing higher-quality posts than before merit system launched, but it doesn't high quality enough.My advices for you are:
1) You should keep trying, posting as helpful threads as possible. Keep doing this way, then Merits and sMerits will be sent to your account by other users (might be from the one you help, or might be from higher-ranked users who simply like your posts and want to motivate you).
2) Most importantly, that is the way bitcointalk forum (community-driven one) operates. Everyone help each other, help free (by now, from helping others we can get sMerit & merits, but don't pay attention to those rewards, simply help)
Best regards,
-snip- At first i thought it would be good for forum and that it will decrease shitposting, but as time pass by i see everything is the same. High ranks support one another, and in the mean time low ranks are suffering because of that. I do not see many Merit points given to low ranks, and some of those posts are pretty good and useful.
It seams to me that high ranks would consider some post high quality only if its written with fancy words and only if it sounds smart. So i guess that to them if post is simple and useful, it still doesn't belong to high quality posts... And i do not want to start writing about those posts that get too much Merits just because they are legendary, like that "HOLDE" post or what every.

I would love to respond your opinions.
1. Merit did decrease shitposting, even though the results were not great (at least for this moment), but I can say that in my local board, one-liner post, paraphrased post, is decreasing each day.
2. High-ranks supporting high-ranks, and low ranks were suffering? Well yeah, that might be true if all they did was posting low-quality post. In my local boards, even a newbie can get merit points if they did post a good post. I and some other members created a new thread for reviewing their post. Legendary, Hero, Sr. Member, all take part in it, which is good, isn't it?
You can also see that many high-ranked members are offering the smerit-post review on the services board. bill gathor, questions authority, and etc.
3. Does quality post need to be in fancy words and only if it "sounds" smart?
Nah, nope. I can give you examples if you wanted too.
So far Merit system is not what i thought it would be. At first i thought it would be good for forum and that it will decrease shitposting, but as time pass by i see everything is the same. High ranks support one another, and in the mean time low ranks are suffering because of that. I do not see many Merit points given to low ranks, and some of those posts are pretty good and useful.

Maybe i am wrong, but time will tell if this Merit system is good or bad. I guess that at least few month needs to pass before i can say for sure.

You son, are a Pajeet. Your post history shows you can barely speak English, you just type extremely long sentences in stupid topics just for sig campaign earnings. I suggest you find a real job, as you are not going to find merits here. Good luck!
Same is happening with me. I didn't really got the point yet that how or on which algorithm the merit system is working. It seems static for me since it is applied by btc forum team. Really irritated myself.
As for you, you are another Pajeet. Find a real job. There is no "algorithm", you are clearly no devcracker...
I suggest finding a real job, as you won't make many satoshi or merits here until you start improving your post quality and learn English. Good luck! Same is happening with me.

Well if you take a look at your last 6 post, they not the posts to receive merit for. I don't consider myself of a excellent turbo good quality poster, but i do believe that you can compare your posts with some higher rank member and see what I'm talking about. Tho I like your sentence "It's risky to invest in ICO because it's too risky."
