Topic: My life as a merit source (Read 633 times)

We only have one chance, and that is making have some fun for making quality post as much as we can, other than this our future will surely at the shit point outside this forum..

what I found interesting:


1.merit sources do not have an unlimited pool of merits to give away
2.the quota is refreshed every month
3.if the points are not distributed they are wasted,i.e. not added up every month to the old ones? (not sure,could be not true)


4.merit sources,at least this particular one,not only merit good posts,but can be your demise if you are found guilty of abuse
5.probably belongs to D2 or even D1 trust

thank you for the insight,was an interesting read

@alia & @pixie85 - Thanks for the merit... now I have to look for another good post this month to give it away   

@tirio - I did not intended this post to be funny, but... well, I am glad to be making the world a funnier place. Believe it or not, there are many people trying to find the "automatic and repeatable way" of getting merit.

@Welsh - I hope so. There are good posts everywhere and this is just starting.

@Kwame Genius, @Jet Cash 

@jointherevolution
@izanagi narukami
- The purpose of this post is to discourage merit trading and farming. Some people don't understand the system as well as you.

@zikabra - I clearly state that I don't want merit on this account. I have tons of smerit... really please, no more!!
                 I can only merit people on the languages I understand, but Theymos is particularly keen on looking for sources  or local boards (see his thread about merit). Eventually, it may be even easier to get merit locally. No one will ever be excluded for disagreeing with me, or even for personal attacks (within reason).

@AdolfinWolf - You are not excluded from merit from me. I hope my English is good enough to understand your awful writing overcome your lack of wisdom.

@jerick06 - There is no list nor anything to sale. You may want to take a look at the meta post about merit.

@coolcoinz - You are right, I am sad that so many people make themselves "un-meritable" for a long time, because they do make good posts sometimes.

@HabBear - Thanks for the support. Theymos has no better reason to listen to me than to anyone else, but what you say makes sense.

@digaran - Love you way of thinking. Yes, I have something to hide. I want to hide my user for getting personal messages or being involved in anything that could make me less objective. I want to hide from heavy scrutiny, because I am human (did I already mention that?) and I make mistakes. But you are free to believe that I am just dishonest if that's your wish.

@maeusi - Thanks, someone out there understands me.

@cabalism13 - Oh... should I read that thread then 

I won't keep writing on this thread. I really have a life and lots of posts to read, believe it or not.

Maybe this will help you guys if you're having trouble finding threads that newbies are participating. And give them some of your sMerits Thanks!

The reason of posting this thread as alt for privacy is clear and logical. Also the reason of this thread is clear. It is an info and try to reduce Merit threads. But it will not help. Better would be an own section for Merit stuff, so that important infos and questions on Meta will get again more attention.

What is the domain name? I only buy .coms at the moment.

Thanks for the correction, although you don't really seem to grasp what i was actually saying. I obilized your position of being a merit source, due to your level of english.

You can, *ofcourse*, question my level of English, but i am not here claiming to be a merit source. That's you.

The forum ( or administrators of the forum) take weeks to make someone like LoyceV a source ( although i'm still not sure if he is one), but they just accepted you out of the blue? Sorry, but your story doesn't add up.




  Again, how can you ever distinguish a constructive post when you don't know the difference between A and AN?

(And before you tell me that you've been appointed to be a merit source for local boards, i'd remind you to take a closer look at the first replies you did in this topic. Surely you would've told us?)

 

Not posting with your main account means you have something to hide, come out like I did, I have changed my strategy for giving away merits as a source several times, I have found the best solution, provide step by step guide for everything I would ask and receive merits. from now on, you will never get any merit from me for random posts on random boards. I will focus on members one by one, complete a task to receive 4 merits instantly and have me reading your posts to merit the worthy ones.

Thanks before.
Before what? before receiving merit from me, you should thank me with at least $20 tip, a man has got to eat right? also if you buy my one and only domain name for $30, you would have earned my attention as the most reputable source.



If you really want to know why theymos made me a source? because banning me couldn't have hurt me like making me a source with 5 sMerits. giving 5 sMerits out of almost 12,000 is like taking a drop of blood from somebody who is willing to donate a bucket of his blood.

Reading this now,it really deserves the answer I got. I had a different thing in mind when I wrote it but I admit that it sounds silly.


I thought that the Sources are covering specific sections besides the Local. Now I can see that my question can be interpret as attempt to trick the system by posting in eventually mentions sections for higher chance to get merit.
This was not my intention. Just have seen a good posts in some sub-forums that are not so popular.
 

Thanks for that.

iasenko makes an excellent point, but you shouldn't expect MeritSourceLife to tell you anything about their activity! Shame on you for asking!

MeritSourceLife,

If you have the opportunity to offer feedback/suggestions to Theymos and crew, would you consider recommending that a Merit Source be assigned to the major boards or sub-boards of the Forum?

Doing so will ensure that there can be at least an equal opportunity for posts to be seen by merit sources, regardless of where one posts.

To not do so will birth a new kind of spam as it continues to make Meta and a very few other boards on this forum the hub for posting activity as people believe that's where they need to be to get merit.

Thank you! HabbyB

Your intelligence is average, you wisdom non-existent.

You are smart enough to understand that what I say is common sense. That puts you above the many users that are exchanging merit with alts in plain sight.

You don´t understand the point of this post. That puts you below the many other that see it as an advice to the previously mentioned ones.

Please, notice that English in English is written with an starting capital letter. if you are going to criticise my style,  I urge you to improve your writing to avoid looking stupid.

There were so many questions about how to get merit. Beginners and help is full of people asking how to get it and full of people telling them to start writing valuable posts.
It makes me feel like people are too lazy to look for answers themselves they want everything to be served on a silver platter. That thread by theymos explains everything in detail, but people don't bother to read it, they prefer to make another "how to get merit" thread.
I guess OP has put so many people on his ban lists that he wanted to try another approach. Maybe that 1% of people who feel like trading merit or meriting yourself with alts is the only way will read this and save themselves from having to start from scratch.

sorry in advance .. what is the purpose of selling this service is you want to sell a merit?

Why do you publish this ?
You can just go work in the shadow ( give merit for who deserve ) and most people ,  I think already aware on how they able earn merit

I can't tell if this is for real or someone created new account to receive few merits for it. But ok, lets say this is alt account.

How will you determine if merit was traded or post was or wasn't good enough? Maybe it wasn't good for you but it was good for others, different people share different opinions, while you say you will be objective as much as you can, this doesn't sound like you will be objective at all.

How will you determine if post was traded or if merit was sent for low quality post if it has been sent in local board? Do you speak all language or you will just decide not to merit users who are posting here and in local boards just because you can't understand all languages?

What do you mean you don't care if someone has a farm, merit was introduced because of them, why would you reward farming accounts?

Would you put me on your list of users who will not receive merit from you because of this post?

Very interesting post. Thanks!

And, come on, you can't say "don't merit me" at the end... that's just too tempting

On the chance that you really are a merit source, what is the purpose of this post? To let us know about your rules regarding merit giving?

Thank you for helping to recover this forum, and bring it back to the great resource it was a few years ago.

I can understand your problems, and your difficulty in finding reasonable posts to reward. I received some sMerit to give away, and I have had a real struggle to find posts that I felt were deserving of merit. As I only had a few sMerits ( around 80 ), I decided that I would not be able to award them to "average" posts. It takes a lot of time wading through all the threads, and semi-literate replies, and stupid great infographics that get quoted several times make things even harder. I've found that it is much easier if I put bad posters ( by my standards ) on ignore. This had made things a lot more manageable, and I have found some interesting threads and posts whilst I am looking through the boards.

I would like to make a plea to posters. Please think of the readers who scan threads quickly, and who don't have the time to wade through great strings of repeated text. There is no need to quote a 5,000 word post, just copy a relevant line and snip the rest. Please don't quote large images, readers are likely to quit the thread rather than scroll through a load of repeated content. Don't post in capitals - it slows down reading quite a lot, and may result in you being put on ignore. Formatting with massive headings and a couple of screens worth of indifferent text is also likely to get you ignored.

Just remember, the guys who are speed reading are likely to be your best customers.

Thank you sir, we are  all appreciated for that of your subjection. I was looking forward that the forum should do, and truly you are really putting things in place.  This show that you hear from us. Not looking like I'm talking much, I earn hear by saying we are much greatful for what you are doing.  
      YOU DO IT ALL.

Why would you make an alt account just to describe your feelings about you being a merit source? I really don't get what you are trying to hide here. Also everything that you wrote down is common sense, nothing about it seems controversial..?

Also, let's take a look at some sentences you wrote down,

^ (A)




You're just making me laugh at this point. If you are really a merit source, everyone should be one. your level of english is equivalent to that of a 6th grader. How can you possibly determine if something is a quality post or not when you can't write normal sentences yourself?
