I'm finding it really hard to explain. This merit system seems like not working for me. I bet for all these new members as well.

You can't expect it to work right of the bat, this system just requires  a little time to get into bitcoin and then start posting. Ranking up in off-topic is out now.

These are some of the reasons making me very frustrated about this merit system...
# I am a low ranked members when I find any post worth reading I feel to give some credit to that person. Now since I do not have any sMerits to give so I can not encourage that person even-though I want to.

That may be true, but there will probably be some other person that finds it worth to be given merit.

# I noticed when a high ranked member post anything then he get merits from other the psychology behind this (I guess) ... if I give merit to someone who had a lot of sMerit then he may give me some merit.

That also may be the case, where people don't find it worth to merit low ranked users, but also higher ranks know what they're talking about, new member (probably) not so much, but even if you're a new member and know what you're talking about, you'll be given merit.

Go through my posts and comments on my profile then you might see my contribution to this community.

I can bring you bunches of example to prove my statements. Ask me if you want to.

I don't know but just only giving your opinion on something can't be in the same bracket as some other posts. E.g. :

Quote
bitcoin compared to the current price of gold is really very different, bitcoin price reached nearly $ 13k times more than the current price.

and

Quote
Bitcoin is more profitable indeed, but it is equally risky compared to Gold where prices hover on relatively the same levels and sometimes would even rise higher depending on situations around the world. Bitcoin may make you rich, but the already rich use Gold for safety..


Both giving their own opinion but still quite different. Don't get me wrong, but the post doesn't need to be 1000 characters long to be considered a "good" post. Just listen to Sam Hyde's 2070 Paradigm Shift on youtube, it's over 15mins long and is just a long shitpost.

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.
Agree! Dont pay too much attention on merit scores. Keep doing the right things, in the case is writing high quality posts. Of course, we can not sure that how many posts will receive merits for 100 posts. I guess somewhere around 10% (a little bit lower or higher), but it doesn't matter.

Posting good threads, reading around the forum and help other users with your knowledge, skills, etc. ; then good things will come (merits & smerits).
You can post earlier today and get merits later in the next some days.

Learn and assist others. The merit thing seems to make us forget the fact that we are here to develop ourselves personally and help others in our little way. Merit or no merit, do your best for the community.

I am not forgetting this fact of developing personally and helping others, learning and assisting. I know what should be my role and I am doing my best. If you go through my profile and posts then it should be clear. Do you think I am posting shitpost?

For me this forum is to hangout with the community and yes of-course get some personal benefits as well. A better rank give me better benefit. Don't you think having a better rank is helping you to do some bounty work (like this https://prnt.sc/i9kt0z ) here or whatever you expect to get benefit from?  

People still need more time to get used to with this merit system and also people who are higher ranked they need some responsibilities for the new members.

I agree with you its not easy to get smerits all you need to do is effort before you can get it . just like me I'm hoping someday that I can get it 😇😇😇

It is good to think positive but you have to take action accordingly as well. Only hoping will not get you merit points.

We should not forget the main reason we are in this forum - Learn and assist others. The merit thing seems to make us forget the fact that we are here to develop ourselves personally and help others in our little way. Merit or no merit, do your best for the community.
Yes the original goal is a thing to be respected. Without appreciation then we must keep contributing. But I think when there is an appreciation then we can be motivated to make a much better contribution. We all know that everyone has the qualities to get the best. Merit is growing and now everything is starting to go to a much better thing. We all have to race to give the best and we are part of technological advancements in Bitcoin world.

Do you think most of them have all the day to look for good post to merit other?

There are more but at the moment the above came in my mind.

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 )

PS: Guess what there will be a lot of low ranked members who will really like this post but they can not give me any merit for this post since day do not have any. Consider this as a proof of my first statement  Undecided


Exactly the higher only gets enough amount of merits. How about our efficient posts right? Anyhow, we can't complain. That's how it works.

You're right about the higher ranks getting more merit. Though we post even more efficient post, we don't get enough of that merit, as if our posts are useless or senseless. I liked the idea of merit at first because the spammers and shit posters will lessen but somehow, it doesn't work for me anymore. But whatever the site wants then we should comply.

You got 8 merit points as shown in profile. You should have got 4 sMerits for that. You will keep getting more as your quality posts are appreciated.

When I have available sMerits I do giveaway them to someone who deserve it. Today I received two merits which allowed me to send an sMerit and before I saw your post I already sent it to someone who I think deserve it. https://prnt.sc/i9iwh9
always appreciate with Smerit who deserve it,and before giving Smerit to anyone look arround for anything better than this. Because you have a little supply for appreciation.  Wink

I go through your post's and my personal think is you deserves more than you got. so hope this merit system will be modified and its just a beginning of something new and hope the authority will modify it for a good use.

Always support the strong , give merit to the legendary , hero member. You have to impress them. I think weak account will suffer like this.

I don't know how many years will need to get one merit. May be you are better to get those 6. But I have seen many account getting merit for nothing (strong account)

Like it quoted "yes absolutely right " - get merited for this line. I have written 600 word article but none have given me that one merit.

I am just fade up of the system. I know you will give suggestion to write good article. And I will say thank you, I will try.

Just sent you a merit on your way. It will be hard and you have to fight for your right. And so m i doing. The reason I gave you this merit not only for this post but also all these contribution you did to this community. you have over 100 comments made and I see that's a hard work.

Let me ask you what are you here for anyway?
I'll answer that: Signature campaigns. Bounties. Shitposting. That's why the merit system isn't working for him/her. Smiley

Your answer is here
Honestly I am not only hear for reading, posting and contributing I also want to take some benefit for my personal gain from this community. I want to have the benefit not forgetting my  roles to the community as well.

Do you think you are 100% correct on finding my reason?

It's him by the way.

Some of your quality posts may remain unnoticed. But, if you are a deserving person, you will get noticed sooner or later. There are some members giving away merit points for quality points. Quote your posts there for more exposure.

Let me ask you what are you here for anyway? If you are only here to read, post and contribute to the community do not mind the new merit system since you will rank up eventually when your merits have accumulated. Don't think of it as injustice, to motivate yourself, just think of it as a challenge because by the time you get into higher ranks, you can call yourself worthy to be in that rank since by that time you have contributed a lot of useful post to the community.

Honestly I am not only hear for reading, posting and contributing I also want to take some benefit for my personal gain from this community. I want to have the benefit not forgetting my  roles to the community as well.
