Oh, sorry. Guess I got a little cynical there for a second. Merit system is fantastic.

Sounds familiar. Oh right, I'm managing campaigns.

This will need some time to settle in and for people to get used to it. Don't expect it to be perfect from the start.

Yes I agree with you Lutpin, whenever any new change arrives, people start panicking rather than understanding the change properly. At the end people adopt the change slowly.

I guess it will make the users more responsible on what they'll post and it will also limit the amount of users who just spam around threads in order to rank up. It may seem to be very bad to those who are new and/or too lazy to come up with ideas but in my opinion this will make the users even more motivated.

Well, something needed to happen to prevent these massive amounts of spam and nonsensical posts from flooding the forum.
I don't know if this is the perfect system, but it's at least a very good attempt to tackle the root of the problem.
I do think there also needs to be some sort of general clean up as well, so existing spammers can all start over again with a new 'unmerited' account.
The mods are probably working on that continuously anyway.

This does not address the issue completely. Once the member achieves the required merit for a level, he will spam to complete activity. Other ways like phone verification would have been better.

But activity is way easier to gain than merit.
Most likely, users will achieve their activity requirement quickly, and then work towards getting merit required.
What does that mean? They compete with other users in an attempt to make high quality posts and be rewarded with the limited merit for those.

Many people here don't want to give Merit to others, sometimes even if our reply is good advice!
Perhaps because you are JR or a new person, people don't want to add Merit to you!

You're basing this assumption on what?
12 hours of evidence of which half consisted of people discovering merit, discussing it, and trying it for the first time?
This will need some time to settle in and for people to get used to it. Dont expect it to be perfect from the start.

The new system is really effective against malicious replies!
But it has also hit a lot of people's enthusiasm!

it's a very bad idea ....very difficult for other language users!

It's a very bad idea for shitposters, yes. Roll Eyes

hm,,, this is a shit post !
You are now Legendary just because you been in this forum since 2013~~~not because your posts are all valuable !

LOL.. Someone is actually mad at Lauda! Cheesy

Sorry, but I can't see a shitpost on what he said. What you said is a shitpost because it is irrelevant to the topic which is about merit system. This new rule would be a hindrance for people who loves posting and ranking up to earn a lot of money using their accounts. Though I still can't see this effective, because of a certain thing like, dealing with other people to have some merits, still, I think this would be great.

You can ask for free merit if you posted 10+ valuable threads and quote them here ~~~

but for other languages, who will handle this ? sub forum moderators or administrator ?

No it's not difficult nor a bad idea for people with different languages because you are not alone in this forum. A lot of people knows different languages in any local boards including yours therefore it doesn't matter from where you are or what language you are using because merits will surely be credited to your account as long as you have quality posts and good contribution to the forum. But of course those people who has the ability to give you merits can handle this new system. The question is, are you a quality poster?

I just gave out 10 merit for good posts in my local sub.
Argument is invalid, try another excuse.

Just because I talk english with you doesnt mean I can't read or understand other languages.

thanks god you are Hero member , and get free merit to send out every day ! I also sent out 1 free merit in my local forum today....

just check your local club, what is the real mean of "Valuable Post"??

How about translation posts ? How about new project announcement posts ? will you send merits to these posts ? Or just those turtorial posts? advice posts ?

The new system is going to force users to make quality posts across the forum in order to increase in ranks. We may see alot of accounts stuck at jr member/member level for awhile if they don't learn how to post properly and constructively.

The time of supporting your family with little to 0 effort is over.

Well how much you get depends on the mood of the forum members. In some forums you can get easier as it is faster to use.
Bitcointalk is a little bit slower forum for use so I don't expect many merit points, but it definitely brings out the quality.

Slower in the sense ? I am active on almost all IM related forums and I think very less have as much activity as this one.

Regarding question of OP, I am in favor of merit system.
