Topic: Please State What Criteria or Reasons Willing to Give Your MERITS to Someone? (Read 960 times)

motivation and encouragement is sometimes needed for beginners and the merit system is the answer. like what happened to me. I am encouraged and motivated to be more enthusiastic in discussing and being active in this forum. after I got the merit. so there is no harm in pursuing merit if it has an impact on improving the quality of writing and active membership in this forum.
like if we work in a company and the boss gives us a tip. then we will definitely work harder.
but despite all that. Everyone has their own opinion and commitment. so go ahead and enjoy. Thank you friend.

I would like to thank everyone who has been willing to answer my question. and it is very useful for me. and I've got the conclusion from all the answers, friends.
that is, everything is almost focused on making quality, fun and many posts that are useful for individuals and communities. and I will evaluate or improve the quality of my posts. or my response. not only meant to pursue merit but indeed every post on this forum should be of quality. because any that are not qualified or spam will definitely be deleted and will only annoy all readers.
For example, this morning I was told by one of my friends on this forum about my writing which quoted a topic in full without any adjustments that made reading uncomfortable. and I myself after the review is not good in view.
and there are many conclusions that I may not be able to write one by one and this is very valuable for me to increase my insight. and also for other beginners.
and every person or beginner who reads this will surely have their own different conclusions. but let's respect the differences and unite in the similarities that we are on the same forum which indicates we have almost the same goal.

thank you very much everyone. all your feedback is very valuable.

I will lock this topic on the advice of my friends so that there will be no spam that will appear in the future. because also all the answers I need it's more than enough.

I agree with you. The post to which you are responding is full of resentment, but I looked at the reason why the owner has such conclusions. Yes, you're right, he often applies to subscription companies whose managers don't seem to think he's a good poster. But many such people among us do not conclude to correct themselves, do not seek to start with themselves, saying that there is corruption on the forum, and promotion in rank, or just getting merits is too hard to work.
It all depends on the person, if he can achieve his own, then his desires will come true, depending on the efforts that he puts into this.

Do you know that envy is a very bad and completely unproductive feeling? If you do not manage to earn merits, it means that your posts are not appreciated by other forum members. Maybe you should review the basics and start writing something better? It is very easy to shift the responsibility for one's own failures onto someone. If you want to be a member of this community, you need to learn its rules, and not be offended that you are not taken to the playground, while you do not know the rules of the game.

That's easy, if you're remotely close to the inner circle or you are secretly multi accounting, you will be able to gather as much merits as you like. They just peddle you the BS that you have to be good with your post, they don't want to share their merits. Might as well let it decay. Oh, it's also subjective just to be safe.

I am afraid of this advice or statement. I know a merit owner has the right to decide which post to give merits. But I have seen somewhere that someone was called out for giving merits to a very low quality post. I cannot find the post now though. Can you say something about this?

Very good criteria. As I have seen this, it will give me the idea of the kind of post to make and the amount of merits to be expecting from you. That is very good innovation.

There is some difference in this because you are thinking that way but i have seen some members only caring about getting merit so that they can join any campaign for earning purpose ignoring the quality post fact but ends up getting nothing or nearly one or two merits.So merits should be in your mind but quality preference for long survival should be more important and delivering your best to this community.

Or say it's the other way around like if you have knowledge you don't need to chase merits 

There are many such members who are willing to deliver many statemens related to meriting policy but they themselves have not been contributing to this system well like not getting any merits due to zero good contribution to the forum or not sending merits.So the best is exchange of knowledge and merits as well to grow on the forum.There could be your personal way of giving out merits but it's more important to give and earn them in efficient manner.

For a while now I'm attempting to give a user not more than two merits (one each for two separate posts).  I do find that on occasion I want to give merits to a user who I've already merited, however, on the whole, I tend to stick to just two merits per user due to a limited supply.  (And yes, I'll usually check out loyce.club merit list for a user to ensure I haven't given them merits in the past)

Careful though. Even if the post is quality for you, it could be plagiarized and that would be a waste of merits as that user would be banned anyways.
This is why I do not award merits that easily when a user posts a long wall of a topic.

OP, if the answers of the many already satisfied your question, it would best to lock this topic to avoid further unnecessary answers.

Meriting posts is subjective and to each benefactor to their own choosing. I like to merit posts that make me see a situation in a different shade that I never thought of. It could be a mild criticism, I don't mind, but the person seeking to do that must of course be good at what they're saying. Secondly, any post that is literally well written and funny gets my attention as I consider such merit worthy. Thirdly, posts that relate with my position on issues. Again, posts which are didactic and address pertinent issues of the forum in helpful ways to the community also get my attention and  merit.

Your criteria are almost the same as mine, namely topics that are useful especially in the field of education and morals. and which has the impression of wise words in it. because I also judge the quality of writing from the words that came out of the author. how wise he is in speaking. because from word by word we can guess the original characteristics of the author himself.

I want to share the happiness I experienced when I got some merit from the good people here. I want you to feel it too. by giving you some merit. although I still don't have much but this is a matter of my support for fellow beginners and it is hoped that it can raise your activeness in writing and interacting in this forum like me who became excited after receiving some merits.

This varies from one board/topic to another, so there is no specific rule. If you follow it, you will get merits or vice versa.
As long as you worked hard to write a topic and it was of good quality or added new information, I think you deserved Merits.


Some sources have technical knowledge in certain boards and therefore you may not get merits from a specific source.

Personally, I try to distribute them to all members of all boards, but there are boards, for example mining, I do not have enough experience to assess the quality of the posts, so I do a Google search and rely on some trusted members of that give you some merits.

Generally, the more merits you get, the easier earn more will be.

That's the point of how to earn merits all we need to do is that but for now what I am seeing most of the topics nowadays have a similar threads before all they do is revise the topic and posted it here.

OP I am agree on what BITCOIN4X said above all the answer are you looking for is already here so it's better to lock this thread in order to prevent some redundant reply/ spam reply. You can lock this topic in the left lower part of this thread.

Personally, I think the better phrase is if the person is not too keen on chasing for merits but continues to provide and create quality posts, then his/her posts would inevitably earn merits along the way.

Lots of users nowadays are too focused on merit hunting (which is not a bad thing IMO) which somehow floods the forum with repetitive posts. Though it is still highly appreciated whenever they try to create a discussion, I think it is still best if they could create posts that are open for discussion; and make posts that can be a battlefield for discussion.

OP, do you think this thread is still relevant enough to keep it open?
I think it's time for you to lock it in and draw conclusions because we will have almost the same answer to that question. Yes, I know there are sometimes some differences between merit source and non-merit source, but in general it's always about quality posts. So, what do you think?

I might sound odd but I honestly do not have a set criteria which a post must meet before I deem it merit worthy, it all depends on how I feel after reading a post, a post I feel is very sensible get merited by me if I have smerit at the time , it doesn't matter the kind of post, it could be about trading, investment, scam, bitcoin, altcoin, gambling, services, anything at all but post has to make sense, it's as simple as this.
Though no rules states how a post should look like or feel like before we merit it, but we as users should only merit quality and sensible posts in other to discourage shitposters and spammers.

Having to align Facebook likes with the forums merit system is a misconception that seems to have taken root within the forum. This is some familiar context that I recently looked into and found out that, they are rather too distinct to be used together. From how they are earned and functions, they are just too distinct. I was to post my reply here as a comment but, it kept expanding and as such, I crafted it into a thread on the beginners and help board as I feel its, where its most suited since, meta is filled with ranked up users whom are already familiar with all about the Merits and can conclusively different between them both.

You can find my findings here: These two don't go and yet, it keeps been used! (Misconception)

Meanwhile, accreditation of merits on a post is users Judgment and it doesn't have to be limited to what you can use but, whatever appeals to your Judgment. Hence, you deem it merit worthy.

I don't think so about this line from you cause in my own opinion. It depends on how the user handled it or how he/she makes a good post or not. Cause if someone runs for merit and he/she doing his/her best to create useful topics and made a good quality reply then the merits will come easily.
Chasing a merit is not just hard if you are knowledgeable enough.

I don`t think this advice really works for you, since you didn`t receive any merit for the last 120 days. I also can`t agree that not caring about merit is productive as well. Sure, focusing on this alone will not add constructiveness to your posts, but you need to think about the future possible merits, because in this way you can imagine what other forum members can evaluate you for, and thus write a more contributing post.

That is the main purpose of introducing the merit system in the forum by theymos so far. Anyone whose account rank was below Legendary at the time the merit system was introduced should be able to post something of an quality "according to other users" to earn merit so as to help him rank up.

The merit system is quite effective in terms of improving the quality of posts of users who care a lot about rankings, it has fostered a lot of motivation for these users to do something better especially in terms of contribution and quality.

Merits system will definitely serve as your motivation to improve your post quality and grow more in the forum. Merits will only be given to you once other members will see your post as a constructive and very productive. And as long as you always contribute good discussions and always attracts the attention of other members in a positive way, merits will be credited to you.
