For its ok to send merit to your friends as long as he/she has good quality post but if you give merit because his your friends it is not fair for those bitcoin users.Merit was made to organize very well the forum and to be more good in posting not just to earn money.

The short answer is that when your friend really deserved some merits due to his sound replies or commentaries on several questions in the forum, then there is really nothing wrong giving them some credits.

I hate those guys who accuse people as a merit farmers because the merit is "from" a friend but the post is informative and good. Those people are trash and have a crab mentality.

The fact is, no one judge someone abused merit system if they send sMerits to deserved threads, which are informative, high quality, helpful, in-contexts.
This is original purposes (the main one) of merit system, to give merits as rewards to deserved users, and prevent shitposters rank up to higher levels in the forum by simply showing their shits around the forum and get easy money.

Well anyone can send merit,

"I can send merit to my friend if the post is good enough and worthy to be merited."

You can send merit to your friends if it's not questionable. After all there are many people who merit their friends but the post is non-sense. Report those as a merit farmers.

Giving merit to friends is not a big deal, quit that kind mentality. The main thing we must check if the post is worthy enough to give merit.

Giving merits to your friends is not the best. But if only they make quality posts that benefits a lot of people on the platform then that's okay. It should not be given based on frienship terms but to reward those who go the extra mile to help other members on this forum.

Giving merits is a freedom.
Like this is a open forum and suggestions and opinions are listened and understood. May or may not be agreeable. Helpful and informative. Well a user who is a quality poster will surely receive merits. These kind of persons may be qualified as a good source of info and may be able too judge or make comments on others suggestions too. They could give merits to those they think are with quality also.
So is farmers are wasting their merits to non-deserving users, they will just end up giving their merits to useless users. Those merits will not go anywhere for sure. Also, it is possible to report them. You do not have to worry about anything. They will be punished.

Good afternoon everybody,
As the topic, is it allowed to send merit to our friend or not?

Before you share your thought, let me go first.
In my opinion, i think this is not good to support the merit system because people can send merit each other to their friend without checking wheater they make quality post or not.
As the goal of this merit, its made to kill spammers but it such thing continue, merit will be killed back by spammers.

I noticed this when my friend get private message, the message contains people ask him to send merit each other.

I know its hard to get merit but we can get it by making quality post.

i know some members will not agree with this but i hope you can share your thought here.

Note : sorry for my bad english. I am not native english

it depends all from you, not from anybody else

if you want to help your friends, it is not means, that you do bad thing

Gifting merits among friend is very bad. This friends who share their merit points among themselves, have little or no quality accrued to their post all they're concerned about is getting merit to rank up. Any such act should be addressed to the admins.

The real problem is circulating sMerits between friends (they are mostly alt-accounts and main accounts) mainly rewarded those sMerits to extremely low-quality threads. It is the problem.
If someone, even they are your friends, can create constructive threads, which deserved Merits. It's doesn't matter who send those threads merits.
just do whatever they want, but please remember that merit system was launched to stimulate quality of threads in the forum.

Not only to stimulate quality threads but also to determine the connections of merited people for every accounts. In the end, merits will be consumed and the judgement day of these non-merited members will come to an end together withe the cleaning of the forum(together with inactive account,alt accounts and spammers).

There is no clearly rule about this. It's also that nobody can control what people do with their merit. It mean that you can buy or sell merit, but deal outside of BCT. I see many posts with nothing special but merited more than 50 times, by 1 person.

you should not do it, it will endanger your own. kare I have found some accounts who get red trus because it gives merit to people who do not deserve it. should be careful in giving merit

There is no single rules which stated we can not send merits to our friends. We can send merit to whoever has good posts/threads, even our friends. The key is the good posts/threads, if you just giving it out of a friendship, then i believe it will be categorized as a merit abuse, especially when you give a lot of it.

But as we can see, it's rarely to find this accounts that isn't abusing the system. Some are being categorized as alts and these were being proven by some users. Friendship doesn't comply on forbidding the rules of this forum.

Who are 'friends' in the forum?
They are mostly main- and alt-accounts. Roll Eyes

This is not compulsory, one can make friends through the forum as well. There are local bards here and you can find people from your country with similar interests. But with the current situation, my suggestion will be not to send merit to such a fiend here even if he had made an awesome post. Take this advice more seriously if you are a new member here with low rank like member or below.

That was hard to think even me I can't send to my friend a merit because we were afraid that accuse of abusing the merit system.
But only those good quality post you may send a merit to your friend.
I think that is allowed to send to your friend a merit but not to exchange merit with each other that looks like abusing.

This is one of reasons to create merit system and new rank requirements. So, if your friends' threads are deserved to earn merits due to its meaning, heplfulness, problem-solved ability; don't hesitate to send your sMerits to those threads. Because it will not violate any rules of the forum and won't abuse merit system.

On the other hand, the fact is most of 'friends' in the forum exchange their sMerits for so many rounds for non-sense threads.

I don't see any reason not to allowed giving merit to a friend of yours but as long as post is quite humorous, helpful and something new that adds useful information on the forum.

It wasn't.

Quote from: Parodium

Who cares what people do with their merits, as long as they're not selling it or farming it, then they should be free to do with their merit as they wish.

Everybody cares about the distribution of MERITS except shitposters and endless number of spammers.

Quote from: Parodium

Nobody is being paid to search for high-quality posts, if they want to send their 50 merits to a friend, then so be it.

Yes, There isn't someone whose being paid just for being a MERIT SOURCE. They're just a HELPING INDIVIDUAL that wants to make this forum manageable and formal.

Quote from: Parodium

In my opinion the only things that should be blocked are selling, trading and farming merit, obviously these lines are blurred when it is between friends so it's best to just let them get on with it.

You already stated it. TRADING should be blocked and that also comes to the friendly situation. Why would you trade your MERITS to someone you didn't know and don't have any assurance that they will do the same as you did.

From this quote you may see that for some people there is a point of merit quality

I can't accept you guys although you guys reach minimum merit requirement, I'm also check how do you get those merit.
[/quote]
As you may see I also wasn't accepted a d the manager even didn't want to reply my PM where I asked him to explain what is wrong with my merits. It is sad, especially after I checked the merit history of those people who have been accepted. In my understabding merit stays as very subjective thing which doesn't follow any concrete rules indeed.

I think ,there is nothing wrong with this ,if Ur frnd is making a good/quality post.You are free to send merit.

But,you are sending merit to low or meaningless post,that is wrong and It is against the rule of MERIT system.I have reported such type of account by creating a new thread.But I dont think,there is any progress.
