Topic: [Polish section] Merit source application - page 2. (Read 1007 times)

Thanks @suchmoon and @o_e_l_e_o for your suggestions. I will keep what you wrote in mind.


You're welcome! If you need any help, don't hesitate to send me a private message. Have you seen my project related with the LN?


I am fully aware that it is too generous. I asked for help with translations at the time when there were hardly any merits distributed in that section. I wanted to show that they would be rewarded for their efforts and it worked! A few people have started to make useful posts. Now, I wouldn't give that much merit. As you can see in my merit history, the rest of the posts were rewarded with either one or two merits.

I think you should stick to the format of applying to be a merit source.

i also see that you are a little  too "generous" when it comes to sending merit, i see a few "10s" sent on your merit page, there is not wrong with that in general , but you do complain about "lack of merit on your local board" then you probably need to balance your way of spending merit, for an example , don't spend 10 merit on a translation topic !

I do think more merit sources should be made ,specially on local boards, but i don't really agree with the way you spend your merit , your local board lacking merit alone may not be an enough reason.

good luck.

Looking at the data here (credit to DdmrDdmr), the Polish board, whilst by no means the lowest in terms of merit/post ratio, is certainly down near the bottom. An extra local merit source would be a good thing for the community, I would have thought.

I was also just about to make the same suggestion as suchmoon. I obviously don't browse boards in languages I don't speak, but if my attention was drawn to specific posts (as it has been done here), I'm more than happy to run them through an automated translator and merit them if deserving. Share the posts in the linked thread (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/polish-section-merit-source-application-5117296).

Don't do that, send your sMerits out and if you find more good posts than you can merit report them here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/self-moderated-report-unmerited-good-posts-to-merit-source-5093271

Showing that you're not hoarding sMerits might also increase your chances of becoming a source.

And while I'm at it - thanks for all your posts about LN. Never had a chance to thank you in the actual LN threads because I'm too green to post there but it helped me a lot when I was trying it out.

The Polish section certainly lacks an active merit source. Our moderator and the only merit source malevolent hasn't been really active in the past few months. He cleaned up our section a bit a few days ago.

There are a few active posters in the Polish section who are doing their best to encourage new users to create new threads and posts in our section instead of using a forum dedicated to the Polish community. I am constantly trying to reward them for their hard work with merit. It might surprise most of you, but, currently, I have exactly 113 sMerit available to spend. Why do I even bother to submit an application? Well, I am trying to save up as much merit as possible so that I could reward people for more sophisticated tasks. Unfortunately, because of this I tend not to reward some posts and wait for others to do so. I wrote a few tutorials and asked if there was anyone interested in translating them for merit. The results are listed below:

cryptovigi is maintaining a thread which summarizes merit spent on our board. I am not going to select 10 posts which haven't been merited enough in our section. Other members did a great job by meriting existing threads but almost all of them have run out of merit and they won't earn it anytime soon since they post a lot in our local board in order to make it more lively.

#1 Update:



I have also selected a few posts which deserve more merit in my opinion. Most of them are quite long so I decided to post links instead of quoting them.
