Topic: People might sell they're merit points. - page 9. (Read 1923 times)
I think this 'merit is very important to assess the quality of someone's post,dont try to sell it I think it will not be good with the account.Dont even cheat like that to gain more profit,we must together build this forum to become better by following the rules of admin.This must have been considered strongly to assess anyone who can make a strong contribution at this forum.
I went to my profile because I was ranked up full member and I saw the merit point system, just wandering what is this all about and how can we send some merits to others and how do we gain merits? Where is this based on? Hope to find answer because Im really curious about this matter.
Just because he was a newbie doesn't mean he can't have any merit points. If he wrote a good quality post and people find the post good they can give him merit. It would only be an indicator if it was a shitpost that didn't add anything to the topic, that would be fishy.
I think that merit use to know how long someone join in bitcoin. Who joining bitcoin for a long time, he will get many more coins. I think it is fair situation 
If the post looked something like the quoted post above, he probably bought that merit.
We have no control over this things. It is the sender's choice. If all merits will be PAYED (could be by cash, coins or by merit also), not EARNED, then let us expect a more toxic community here where people send merits to each other just because they get something in return.
Yeah this is a wonderful idea. Sig campaigns will no longer accept people that just shitpost without reading the thread. I think there should be an option to decrease merits of someone as well. If they're spamming or just posting nonsense, people should have the ability to decrease their merits so they get punished.
Great way to combat spam.

Let us not jump the gun.. As many said, merit system is on it' early stages and still under testing. Also this will help put posts back on track rather than just nonsense and unrelated off topic posts.
I believe this is a good implementation.

I think the invitation system may be better than merit. New people like me on bitcointalk forum have no chance to get high ranks with this new system. Old members are lucky because they made high quality posts when we were not here ! I should learn how to make high quality posts to get merits from members
I don't see any problems with people selling their merit points. Because if you're gonna sell your merit points in exchange of money it would reflect your behavior in this forum. It's just the person's reference if he wants to get that money or have merit points.
This would be the exact opposite of what the admins intended with the merit system, no? As far as I understand, the intention was for people to put more effort in their posts because they wouldn't get any merit points otherwise. But if you can sell your merit points, then it means that accounts posting empty post after empty post might have a high merit score, meaning we are back where we started.
Other than that, there is no incentive for users to give merit, so I don't see how this system is going to function in the long run.
In my own opinion miret will teach the bitcoiners to be more careful in posting on the thread. Miret also used to see if you are active on your post and it is a way too rank up into full member. Be responsible enough as a Bitcoiner to avoid being ban.
I think this merit system will teach all the bitcoiners to be patient in posting to reach the target merit to rankup.Its one way to all bitcoiners to be active , make constructive comments and improve our knowledge and thought about bitcoin to be able to earned more if we rankup. But on the other part it is possible to sell merit to other bitcoiner who is willing to pay to rankup without knowing it.
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.
A lot of changes happen in this forum lately due to some issues of shit posting of some people here. It was a good idea to clean this forum so that it would really function on its purpose which is to become a real 'forum.' I've seen lately the +merit button and read about it. Merit now is more valuable than just the number of activities or post.
I think there are still some problems with merit.
But there is no doubt that its presence is good for Bitcointalk.
The merit system is still a bit unreasonable, and may be it is possible to get some merit when the online time increase, so I think it's fair for everyone, whether it's newbie or Hero user.
But it can still sanction shitposter, because they don't waste a lot of time reading new posts and responding to new posts.

Hello guys i saw some newbie has a merit points haha.
Yes this might be the problem within the new system,others who have a higher rank would simply send their merits to their alt accounts.
what do you think?they buy it or not?.
I think there might be a possibilities that some users sold their smerit by sending personal message to others or to someone they know.Or there are users that knows each other personaly and request to send merits.This is indeed an advantage with the new system.
I think that merit use to know how long someone join in bitcoin. Who joining bitcoin for a long time, he will get many more coins. I think it is fair situation
other people said, that the merit is the way to ranked up again, because my uncle is a bitcoiner too and he said that i need 250 merit so i can become hero member and so if I can't get some 250 merit my rank will stay in sr. member.
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.
We can see the statistics of merit that we send and receive. If we see a suspicious thing I think we can judge it, like an example if that member gets merit of a post which is not good a quality we should be suspicious of it, and DT member will give red trust.

In my own opinion this merit is done or maked for the common good of entire community in bitcointalk,to improve and challenge all our capabilities in terms of expressing our own thought about the digital currency,but sometimes this merit must used to take advantage to our human kind for extortion or scamming by selling this merit to gain money or cryptocurrency to our co bitcoiners,and this is the things that they dont want to happen to this community in bitcoin talk because they maintain the dignity and honor of this forum site that should not be stain by some deceiver or scammer.
merit system it might get abused by users friends you see what's happening right now in this merit system especially account farmer in this forum newbie has a merit point right now Without difficulty and it is now profitable that there are really ways people are now just to earn money. I think it's easy to abuse this system. I just think it
Personally this merit system is good for this forum site to avoid member to spamming this forum and allow it to create a high quality post job well done for the admin of this forum site but the problem that I see in this ranking system if you have a lot of account you can send a merit to your self or maybe you can sell your merit points to other. But over all rating this new rules is good for long time member and sad for newbie xD
I've been on the forum for months yet this Merit system doesn't being a disadvantage at all. Well in reality, if you are urged enough to make money (and having an account to this forum does make you earn alot), you'll just somehow join a signature campaign that does not even checks the real quality of its participant's posts. It will took time for them to manage each and every participants ending up checking only number not the real quality. This Merit system changed alot positive in forum due to moderators who gave our merits now. Some users who posts shits and no quality nor connection to the topic at all do gained negative trust and some doesnt gained any merits at all leaving them not to rank up. Think of merits as a tip. Although some sell those, then just continue your quality posts and prove them you can earn merits without buying some at all.
