I know how you dislike people addressing you that way as sir. The person who sent you that mail does not know your personality or maybe he feels that your change of name can also affect your principle and decided to try his luck with it.

Yeah, and he noticed I posted his PM even though I didn't identify him, and it wasn't my intention to humiliate him--it's just aggravating, because although I would normally responded to the PM with the info in this thread, there have been way too many cases like his and it just isn't feasible to do so. I hated to make that decision not to respond directly, but I don't have much of a choice.

Because the last time you got a review was in October, of course you are still in the category presented in the post above.

That's not how I'm saying this works. If a member has requested reviews from me in September, October, and November then I will continue to accept reminders on a monthly basis. Lizarder had posts merited by me in September and October, but I don't know if he sent me a PM in November or December or if I was already severely backed up at that point and something got lost in the chaos. I'd have to go back and look at my PMs--but in any case, for him he's close enough to having fulfilled my criteria so assuming there's still a PM in my inbox I'll get to him eventually.

Ugh. I meant to start reviewing posts today, but time kind of slipped away from me. Tomorrow, I swear!

This means you can still PM him and ask him to do a review, but I totally understand why The Skeptical Chymist doesn't want to accept new requests at this time. After all, he did this for free to the bitcointalk community, and I can only agree that no one has the right to force him. Give him a time, and actually anyone can rank up and earn merit even if The Skeptical Chymist doesn't review their posts.

You know, here's one of the reasons: Lack of post quality as expected.

At first I could hardly believe that you had stopped reviewing Post history for members who had sent PMs, But here you have explained everything *END* Post history review offer so clearly.

All decisions you have made I believe have been through careful consideration and we hope you are still reviewing everyone who consistently PMs you, I was a terrible poster in the past and the quality of my posts is completely undirected and far from quality. However, when I listen to you regularly review the posts of low ranking users, it motivates me to consistently improve the quality of the posts, so that thanks to hard work I rose from Full Member to Sr. members.

This all happened because you were willing to review my post twice, and I think until now many people hoped that you would continue to do so, because it's hard to move up in rankings if users don't have technical expertise.

I am not taking any new requests for post history reviews and until further notice I'm only doing reviews for members who've been consistently PMing me --specifically for the last 3 months (since September). Any member who doesn't fit into that category and sends me a PM is just going to have it deleted without reply.

The lines and words in red, I hope in the future will change to ?

I received a new request for post history review for members who consistently PM me.

And finally you are the final owner of the decisions that have been taken, even though we try to influence and force you to continue, but if you have made a decision, we cannot do much. One more Skeptical Chymist, I am very foreign with your new name because for me the old name is quite special to remember !!!

Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. It's OK that I don't have more sMerits. It was pointed out to me that I'm not getting any more or less than any other merit source, and I certainly don't expect special treatment. Should Theymos decide that there wasn't enough merit circulating, I'd hope that he'd either increase the allocation to every merit source or just add new ones. There are plenty of members who'd jump at the chance to be one.

Now then. Because of the holidays I've been incredibly lazy with regards to reviewing post histories, but I'm planning on resuming my efforts today, or tomorrow at the latest.

@ OP,you are a kind hearted man,and I understand how you feel for not being able to continue with your good work in meriting the reviews that are in your PM due to insufficient smerit. Don't feel bad or paranoid, everybody knows the good work that you are doing in the forum to help people get to their next rank.

Like you said that Theymos is working on a software presently,I guess he might still grant you your request on more smerit,but it might not be too soon. Theymos is a man that takes time to come into conclusion with decisions or request of forum members,remember how long that you have asked him to change your name,which he just did recently, maybe he is still contemplating on your request. Don't be discouraged from doing your good work and helping people in the forum.

Most forum members know how you have helped many of us to our next rank and will never forget your good deeds and zeal to see people grow in the forum. You helped me to my present rank and I will not forget that kindness of yours.

OK, people need to start paying attention to my most recent posts in this thread, because I've already had to ghost several members who either hadn't read my updates or missed this thread being bumped altogether (though for some odd reason I find that hard to believe).

Here's an example of a PM I got just a few minutes ago. I'm not calling this guy out specifically or naming names, but this is what makes me want to pluck my hair out:

Quote from: The Sceptical Chymist on December 14, 2022, 05:57:15 PM

I'm bumping this thread because I've been getting PMs from people who don't meet this qualification:

Quote

If you've been requesting reviews for at least 3 months and are due for a review, please message me just in case.

I am not taking any new requests for post history reviews and until further notice I'm only doing reviews for members who've been consistently PMing me--specifically for the last 3 months (since September). Any member who doesn't fit into that category and sends me a PM is just going to have it deleted without reply.

The bolded, enlarged-fonted, blood red-colored part above is never ever going to be repeated. Tell all your friends.

And thus we come to the entirety of merits I'd sent to the member who sent the PM:

Not only does that not meet the requirement never to be spoken of again, but the one review I did for him didn't even result in a lot of merits being given, so that ought to tell you and me that most of his posts are generic crap (which they are). Now that I've tightened up my quality requirements because of all the requests....if you figure out who this member is, don't post like him.

Anyone who cares about any of this have any questions? I'll be happy to answer.

Nobody is taking advantage of me, but it's tiresome having to PM people when they haven't read what I've written in this thread and the other one where I laid out the rules--but I fully understand that things I've written could have been missed. But man, with offers like the one I've made you wouldn't believe how many god-awful posters just try their luck to see if they can score some merits. Obviously those folks don't know me very well.

There are many members who will ignore the rules and just rush into things like this when you open up the merit applications through post history reviews.I could imagine how many requests you would be getting after you made that thread because in past you have personally said to many to PM you for post history review but now the scenario has changed so it would be tiring.But above them all you have to go through all those posts to see merit worthy ones.But you can still continue the previous way you were allocating smerits to the post you like without going through these methods.Those who didn't have any merits find these as opportunity to try their luck and see if they can get 2-3 merits and take part in signature campaigns as they have such criteria but forgot you get for your contributions not just shitposts.

No need to mention that those smerits are going to help some deserving memeber on the forum to reach his next goal/rank and you undoubtedly you have earned them by keeping the merit distribution on forum.What you will get as earned merits will go on to help someone else.

Sad to say this, but given the fact that Theymos kept silent when I requested more sMerits I'm no longer going to be doing post history reviews on request. I have a number of members who've been PMing me from months back, and those are the only folks I'm going to continue reviewing posts for. So if you're not getting a bunch of merits from me in the near future, you didn't make the cut (through no fault of your own).

I've simply had too many requests and too few sMerits. I seriously considered quitting the merit source position as a FUCK YOU to Theymos, but that would just be an emotional reaction which ultimately wouldn't help the forum. But I'd still like to state it, and I think I just did.

I'll leave this thread open for a few hours if anyone wants to comment, but I'm not going to be answering questions about whether individual members are going to still have their posts reviewed, because as of right now I have to go back and check all my PMs.

Gave you all I was allowed 49.

My whole point is that; looks like this is a designed formula just to curb some incessant circulation ( maybe to some shitty accounts?)? If yes, then that's crazily programmed yunno... Or maybe it'll be more of "Theymos not giving an increase on the source merits" ?? Who knows what's on TSC's mind ??

To the bolded part above: no, Theymos has made it clear that he's not planning on increasing any merit source's monthly allocation of sMerits, so that's not something I'm going to continue pressing him on. If the community isn't making a big stink out of the ranking up process, then it's a good bet that it's running smoothly enough. Maybe not perfectly smooth, but the system is doing its job--and yes, it's to inhibit shitposters from ranking up, which they'd be hard at work trying to do if it weren't for the big, bad merit barrier.

Also: I'm not giving out merits anymore in this thread, so I'm not incentivizing people to post here. Just looking for honest feedback and for members who might be thinking of PMing me to see it.

I know for sure that this man, Chymist won't even dare to look into a dumb profile twice -- talk more of meriting a post outta some petty sentiments, pity or as a mistake -- I could vouch for him. Sometimes, I'll just have to take a quick trip around those profiles and truly, they deserve merits -- so is that supposed to mean that the system is running on a scale of imbalance? Or maybe they ain't enough sources? Or no one cares?
When I got registered in here, I could remember how hard it was to get my first merit; all thanks to some eccentric dudes like Fillipone and CHYMIST who've stood firm to swirl the stress (for some newbies) of "posting in mega boards like dev&tech just to get merited " and as a result, they'll plagiarize and will have no choice but to face some witty juries...

Did I just get my name change granted??? I almost jizzed my knickers! Thank you, Theymos!!

Halab set me straight via PM about where I stand in terms of my sMerit allocation, so I understand why my request was denied/ignored. Well, I don't know why it was ignored but I get why no increase is forthcoming. Therefore, I'm still halting requests via PM but will continue to review post histories from members I've been doing them for for at least 3 months--and I'll try my best to get to more recent requests, but I'm making no promises.

Again I apologize to those who PMed me and aren't going to have their posts reviewed or will have to wait for a long, long time before I get to them. After reading what Halab sent me, I realize that it's not a problem with Theymos but with the scope of my offer, which is now obviously too much for one merit source to handle. I feel icky all over, and I hope there are no hard feelings.

I'm rescinding my FU toward Theymos (and not because he granted the name change, lol). I had incomplete information and probably too much hubris for my own good. I'm going to leave this thread open for maybe another hour or so and then it'll be locked up for good and for all.

You have been a great advocate from time, a good writer which I lurk around to learn vocabularies from lol. I'm just pleased you got this one after all of your plights.
