Topic: People might sell they're merit points. (Read 1841 times)
It is already expected that this thing will happen before the implementation of the merit system, but dont worry all those users will soon run out of merits.
I agree. I don't think hero and legendary members will sell their merits, they aren't that stupid.
The most important thing is doing this will put their accounts under extremely high risks of red tags, bans by admin or forum mods.They won't foolishly do this to get additional several hundreds of dollars.
However, there are also several higher ranked users who don't care about signature campaigns, bounties. They simply do their jobs in the forum.
So I think this merit mechanism is unfair, because it would allow those legendary or heroic users to profit from the merit mechanisms, and not to upgrade those who can not afford it.
I'm definitely coming from the opposite perspective here, as being here on these forums for a while and finally reaching a high ranking. However, I don't think this system is particularly unfair. Those who have merit will not be selling it; hero and legendary members at this point in time know better than to sell their merit. Even if it is being sold, it ends up being pretty obvious because all you need to do is look at the suspects posts and who merited them.
There's nothing about affording here; merit is not a form of money. It's (I guess) just another way of protecting the forum from spammers who are just trying to get into sig campaigns.
I agree. I don't think hero and legendary members will sell their merits, they aren't that stupid. They have earned everything in a very fair and just way, doing this will ruin their reputation. Also, these high ranking members (I think) doesn't need to sell their merits since they have enough money coming from the forum and other forms of bounties. Selling merits is just a petty thing to do.
For someone, who have attentions to abuse merit system and forum rules by making a deal on merit business, I highly recommend you to spend a couple of minutes to read those following topics.

Hey dont spoil the motive of keeping the merit system. thats again illegal to sell those merit points.
Ignore that guy, please.
Simply ignore that guy, then he/she won't be able to annoy you anymore.
Yeah, sounds amazing! Merits worth that price. Unfortunately, merit exchangers worth to be punished strictly with red tags or permanent bans.

What kind of crack are you smoking.
10 Merit for 1 ETH, you are insane. Even if your only goal is to rank up for signature campaigns this is ludacris. Instead you could spend the 800$(CAD) and learn something useful, improve your english if that is what is holding you back and then post some relevant on topic replies that aren't bat shit crazy.

I thought I was the only one who think this could gonna happen. New merit requirement is causing everyone a hardship in ranking up. 10 Merit is more worthy than 1 ETH for me so the merit sources have the opportunity to profit easily. All of those jr. Members out there including myself has the tiniest chance of ranking up compared to the higher ones.

There are a lot of changes on this forum. It was a good idea to clean this forum. Recently, I saw a button + dignity and read about it.
Well If they have top quality of course it is not a problem. You can see the posts made and when it suits then it is inappropriate in the matter, but if there is something awkward may be worse suspect is the most rational. Merit provides many opportunities for some unqualified people, as you say that the main problem is selling and buying merit points.
It will really be a dishonorable act to sell merits, than for one to sell merits why not introduce a challenge for the newbies then those who are up to the task awarded.
I'm not trying to be bad or anything, but that's just plain cleverness. I mean, since the higher ranks don't really give too much attention to the lower ranks. So by sharing merits to other members that are the same rank as yours will help yourselves.
But on the other hand, maybe those members that wanted to share merits wanted to recognize members that are really worthy of receiving Merit(s).
Does that mean you see trading of goods that are hard to obtain otherwise a cleverness?
Nobody wants to give me a job so I will pay someone to hire me, even if that means some other guy will have to be let go. Organs are hard to obtain, let's pay instead of waiting in line, I can pay, so I'm better than that poor kid and I should get a transplant first.
Do you see what this would lead to and why such attitude can't be called clever?
It's a sad fact of life but money rules the world .. GREED !

That's not true - I do pay attention, and I put loads on ignore because it seems all they can think about is merits. They clog the boards, and make it hard for people who are interested in Bitcoin and crypto to have decent discussions. Hopefully they will realise that they aren't going to get any decent money from their sig spamming pollution, and they will clear off into some other weed infested pond. This will give the new members who really are interested in the development of Bitcoin, and the fast moving world of crypto, a chance to expand their knowledge, and to avoid the scammy ICOs and bounty defrauders.

It is not honourable act to sell your merits since it will be unfair to other users which have a good posts and spread good comments and information in this forum

Yeah this system is seems to ve unfair who just starting now as a newbie. Hope it will change someday. Just think of it how can soneone gain merit for free on people now a days. Most are selfish i think they not give it easily
The merits are actually originating from merit sources every month. These are being picked by the admin and thus i expect them to be fair/neutral. They are already established members (one with higher ranks) and thus I do not think they will benefit anything by hoarding merits. Ranking from Jr Member to member is still achievable as per the current situation but to move to higher ranks is something next to impossible. Only a few members will be able to achieve this who have extraordinary writing skills.

So I think this merit mechanism is unfair, because it would allow those legendary or heroic users to profit from the merit mechanisms, and not to upgrade those who can not afford it.
Are there some of them that use this situation, and are you one of the buyer?
I hope this thing would not make any excessive anxiety, be the user that deserve to get MERIT. It's impossible this new rules is made by without any clear purpose.
but it's still unfair who can't afford to buy merit.
Which reasons make you repeat about buying merits so many times? Do you want to exchange merits? Do you want to violate the forum rules? Do you want to fight againts original purposes of merit system and Theymos intention? Do you want to go in jail (I actually mean bans) by cheating the merit system?Good luck, you will never rank up with this attitude about merit system.
