Topic: Newbie But Not Beginner - page 2. (Read 523 times)

The amazing thing here is that you registered on this forum yesterday but you know a whole lot about the forum. This is either an alt account which will be banned soon or your judgement is based on what you've heard. I've seen a topic about merit sources who are not giving merits because they are inactive for unknown reason which can be expected. You sound very angry though and you posting messages in a row is also a violation
You may want to read the rules of the forum and get acquainted with them.

Haha. This is a confession. And I just fit your description. Very "friendly", I can say you relate to those who clean the forum from cheaters.
On the other hand, I read notes of resentment in your text. What does it mean that someone looks for a violation is working for merit? One gets the impression that this is not your first forum account.
In any case, you post several posts in a row. This is a sign that you are not familiar with the rules and have not read them. To avoid further misunderstandings, first, study the rules of the forum.

Merit sources like most other users have boards they frequent, and they are appointed on this basis. A source who is active on a couple of boards would majorly distribute merits there, you wouldn't expect them to venture into sections they have little knowledge of as they would not be able to discern which post is quality and which is not.
Also quality is subjective, if you find 50-100 good posts per hour you can report then here - [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

If you're going to make this accusation, you should show some sort of proof, otherwise it's just baseless trolling.

There are hundreds of good posts on this forum daily, a lot of art competitions, a lot of football banter and if someone can not figure one post to merit then such person should be looked into, posts not meeting criteria is not an excuse and can never be this forum is big enough to produce 50-100 good posts per hour. Most of them sell merits so they accumulate them to make a profit for themselves 

I know all the techniques on this forum I know exactly what you are doing I was once like you too I don't want to list out merits source who don't share merits on this forum but if you push me harder I might take the risk and share you a link I've seen things most Legendary is yet to see the secrets of the forum is too obvious if you have keen eyes

Hahaha, I do believe it's not true but you know what, I may agree on some point because that's what it really seems. Well, most probably they are just picky.
Wth, are there members here whose main agenda is only to find mistakes from co members and report it? He has a special place in hell if ever lol but I think there is no such human like that.

Some or someone like you? I have a gut feeling that what you said was based on your own experience because I can feel the grudge in your words .

Firstly, theymos is the forum administrator, not the global mod.
About smerit for sources, I do not think most of them fail to use up their stash, some do due to inactivity or failure to find enough merit worthy posts which meets their criteria.

The forum does not expect anyone to be a hero (whatever that is in this context), there are just a set of rules which guides the activity on the forum, and failure to keep to those rules attracts some level of punishment. Asides this, the forum is designed to be as free as possible and to accommodate the various interests of members.
Some members have gotten permanent bans reduced to signature bans on the merit of their overall contribution to the forum, so that counts for something.

Why would someone advertise and have to wait for short to long time depending on when the person was chosen, just to be a merit source and the person is not paid to do so, this same person can have one-many other things doing in the life outside the forum but accepts that position to serve/work-for the forum for free as a merit source all just for the person to watch smerit allocated to them decay! Thats such a mis-leading lie, if they are merit sources and get smerit the are to give it out not quality and not just because they have it, if you work your ass they would find you.

Newbie but not Beginners club is self-oriented I want all the newbies to understand how the forum operates in other not to join the Newbie but not Beginners club.In this forum, everyone is a ghost no brothers or sisters here, there are several clubs on this forum and for safety reason look for one and join and be relevant they don't accommodate laziness but your security and support are guaranteed, most of those elite members are merits source.

Who are merit sources?
These are individual among us who applied and were selected by the Global Moderator(thymos)after so many screening, these are people with a good reputation on the forum , they are good posters, smerits are generated and shared to them to distribute to post they found fit but mind you most of these merit source dont distribute merits they allow it to decay if you ask me why I don't know.

Volunteer ghost workers
These set of people don't contribute any thing to the forum they feed on others to gain favour and merits they are responsible for most of the banned accounts they go through all posts on the forum not reading but looking for flukes taking advantage of your mistakes then report your account to board moderators and get you to ban while they receive merits and level up. They don't comment, they don't post, they don't consider they feed on you to survive and gain favor.

No Second Chance.
This forum doesn't tolerate nonsense they only accommodate heroes and not losers, they only want the best from you and expect you to win-win-win the day you lost any battle you are out, several good posters dedicate their lives to this forum who had thousands of good and constructive posts over the years but were kicked out for plagiarism, they had 1k good posts and 1 bad post and were send packing no second chance so you must be at your best no fluke only 100% accepted here.

Don't Beg and avoid PM
Do not beg for merit here it's highly prohibited and don't send an unnecessary PM it might get you kicked out remember here is no friend zone everybody is on the watch and don't abuse any high profile users to avoid red flags. Be positive you are on the right forum but be extremely careful don't make the mistake of some Newbie but not Beginners members made.
