I'm really not sure how people are thinking that people will be able to sell or trade this merrit points. I am sure the higher ups have all this thought out in great detail before this change.
Hello guys i saw some newbie has a merit points haha.what do you think?they buy it or not?because anyone who had merit points can be transfer to other people or sell them to other people.
Malicious brush experience and low-end topic is indeed a headache, no matter how the Forum changes the problem will always exist, but the forum will do its utmost to limit and reduce the existence of these activities, my personal performance and this is great A design
I think Merit should be a vote system. Put a + next to merit and allow members of the forum to click it and each time its clicked the poster will gain 1 merit point. One vote per user per post.
The above system allows all forum users to decide who gets merit. Limit the voting system to Jr. Plus members to help stop spamming of new accounts for the purpose of gaining merit. You could also limit the amount merit any single poster can give to another during a 30 day cycle.
I believe the above is a better system.

This merit mechanism is still under test, and we should not make that explicit because it helps us to have more quality posts than just those that make no sense. Of course, we can also make suggestions, after all, this is only in the testing process.
yes i agree with you, this merit system is very confusing especially for me its always hard to understand bitcoin world, i think it would be hard to get merit from others 
Maybe if I do not get a reward then my device will not go up, but I'm not pessimistic, we have to keep the spirit, we follow the rules, try to work as well as possible and give quality posts, may someone give me some merit..
Im newbie here and I saw merits.. I dont understand it.. I even research in google but I couldnt find any answer..
Merit is the point given by others if your post is considered useful and quality. This Merit is a key requirement to improve your account ranking. Merit is given to you by other user if your post are very constructive and meaningful. There are Merit and sMerit. Merit is the points given to while sMerit is sendable Merit which you can send this to other users.
It is against the rules and you can't do it. I am pretty sure it will be obvious too who sold and for how much and besides why would you want to risk a ban for merit points? Write quality posts and everything will be fine. This helps get rid of the spam, this is what we all want isnt' it? 
And how to distinguish a quality message from a non-quality one? After all, this concept is quite subjective. I, for example, may like this your message, I will send you a few units of merit. Another will consider that this message is generally of poor quality and therefore suspected me that I sold these services to you. Is it still someone I have to prove that I did not sell them, or what? And how do you prove that a person sold other services to someone else, if there is no obvious evidence? All this is not easy. For me merit points are okay. Because it will say if your post is really worth and has a value. I just recognize actually the merit earlier then explained to me. And now i know that merit can sell. If merit can sell is really unfair because many newbie will buy merit to rank up and it is unfair to the higher ranks that really hard to climb to their current rank. Unless the merit can sell in the same price of bitcoin Hahahaha
So not only bitcoin, but also we can sell-buy merit here, right? So, now we can get 2 reward: coin & merit.
Merit is ok because about quality post, but if merit can be sold it's not useful
People will always try to sell whatever they can get their hands on, however seeing this update is an interesting one. I guess the increasing amount of interest and members has caused some concern, this was a route to try out and here we are. Will it work? We'll bear witness. But change comes slowly after all.

it's a good way for cleaning spammer. But, it is so difficult for the low level of member to upgrade the level 
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 think you cant sell your merit. Because for me merit can give you by the founder of the bitcoin. Hello guys i saw some newbie has a merit points haha.what do you think?they buy it or not?because anyone who had merit points can be transfer to other people or sell them to other people.
Though we are not generalized but it seems your thoughts may be true in some situation if other sold their account there is no doubt that others would sell their merit to earn some coins. We cannot control others decision just to earn for living. and selling merit is not far to happen 
It is a given scenario and anybody knows that sMerits can be sold to those who wanted to ranked up just a scenario where one wanted to buy a high rank account. I have already read the thread of the administrator and with the idea of making someone a "Merit Source", that someone might abuse it and only sell the merit that he has because he can actually create new merit out of nothing.
Merits are prerogatives of the members/readers. Quality post doen’t guarantee a merit. There are lots of no quality post here got a merit. Besides majority of sMembers have a merits don’t bother to give you a merit unless he/she is your friend. sMerit should not be limited to the members have merits it should be for all, it should be fairly distributed so that everyone can give merits according to their judgement.
Before bitcoin is so easy to conquer because that merit points system is still not existing before. But right now merit points existed, yes because of this system I can say that bitcoin is being more strict than the past. Because our rank depends right now on how many our merits are. Before the basis is how many our activities. So I can say that this merit points is a very important for us users right now, and we tend to buy or trade in order for us to rank up in this forum. Yes, I can call others that they're taking advantage to us in bitcoin who are new users. But yes they will sell this in a higher price and we, we will still buy merit for our own good.
And very soon in any bounty program they will requests for our merit counts mostly in signature campaign... I don't know what selling of merit wil yield to them.

I do not think that selling is the point here. The point of having merit points is if you had made quality posts right? Then if that newbie for example have made several quality posts and a merit source saw its value then he or she deserves to have merit. You do not need to get bad thoughts in these, nor speculate about the newbie cheating. Let us just respect each and everybody who works hard to get themselves a rank up.

The only unfair thing about merits in m opinion is making it a requiremnt to ranking up, there are plenty of poeple who are constanly posting some productive posts and people don't give them merit, so they don't rank up as fast as others, while people with multiple accounts who are always spamming the forum could abuse this system and get into campaigns and rank up before those who actually stick to the rules.You are right this might be one of the cases here. They might not sell their merit points but they might create a new account and rank that account up faster than those who stick to the rules. Using that earned merits for another account and the cycle goes on. As you can see, you can earn Merits by sending them to one another (.5 merit per 1 merit sent). By this, one can become a Merit miner (like bitcoin) and still use multiple accounts.
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 think selling your merit points to the other are wrong because it will giving you a red negative trust when you are getting caught by the moderator. Buying a merit points is cheating for those who.wants to rank up immediately. Merit points is like a commend in dota 2 you will gain it by posting a better answer in this bitcoin forum but when you post a low quality will will not have any merit points. And I think merit points system are good as of now.
I think they cannot buy it and for those greedy person who want to rank up immediately the moderators implement merit to make us improve in our posting in forum.They want us to learn and study well about crypto currency and other thing that can helps us in the future.
