Topic: Should merit system be kept? - page 4. (Read 1561 times)
Let's zero out the ranks, and see how the people on top again reach the legend.
IMHO merit system did not make forum better. We should have some system to prevent shitposters from make their work. Better to have anti-merit system. When you could give negative mark to a shit or useless posts. All know that more than half of all posts here is made for signature campaign. And a lot of this posts is useless for all. I know that there are possible to push 'report to moderator' on posts. But it can't be used for every seond posts at forum.
For example, if I read tread and see useless post I press 'useless' button. If 5 or 50 member or above press this button post should be deleted at all. IMHO it will be cool.

I am very much looking forward to my concern for getting merit.
I am concerned a great deal you have no idea what you are typing.. then again I am ecstatic we have the merit system in place as it fucks up shitposters like you as you will never level up..
Much love xxxx
Merit system is still developing and all of us are still adopting to this kind of change, merit system should be kept for me it motivates a lot of people here to post with quality but the problem is some people are selfish they don't appreciate quality post and keep their merits on their own, i mean they don't give away their merit they're just saving it for nothing. This is just my opinion.
Merit system has demonstrated its strong impacts on the forum users. No one can deny the fact, hence we should give merit system more time to be more matured (and, of course, several necessary adjustments). I strongly believe that such a amazing system will help us to keep the forum as clean as possible from spammers, fudders, shitt-posters. Let build it up as a place for discussions, for sharing knowledge, for helping each other.
It seems that the merit system might not be good for the "general population", because it actually puts some personal responsibility and accountability onto the user for them to rank up. That being said, it seems that it is good for the forum and that would seem a better indicator of whether or not it should stay. As others have said, give it time, if after some time goes by and it appears that members which deserve merit/rank-ups are not receiving them, then it would be time for protest or adjustment.

I've found that the merit system has brought to my attention posts and posters that I have quite enjoyed reading and learning from. Even though to a degree this is an offshoot purpose of the system, as the primary is quality posts, I've found it to be the best output. While I havent been on the site for a decent period of time, I think that more shitposts and threads are started now than compared to pre-The System times. That includes newbie bashing that follows a good number of threads, I dont see that helping anyone but i guess it shows people that you care.
I am very much looking forward to my concern for getting merit.
Two phrases that don't usually go together - "looking forward to" and "concern".
I suggest if you want to earn merit you stick to your local sub boards. :/

Look at most of the guys complaining about merit. Most of their posts are found in 3 sections of the forum. Bitcoin discussion, Trading discussion, Altcoin discussion. Usually in topics that offer 0 quality to the forum and usually just making their weekly post totals to be paid.
Which is so sad since Bitcoin Discussion used to be one of the most informative sections.
I noticed the amount of sMerit sent at the start was incredible. Then it tapered off as most people ran out. So many good posts get ignored.
This is why I am hoping Theymos is staggering the dates for sMerit replenishment. I'd like to see new Merits every day of the month.
I for 1 am getting sick and tired of seeing 20 threads a week about merit. It was created for a reason. Get over it. It's supposed to make you push yourself to up the level of quality in your posts. If we just adjust the damn activity limits, then every shit poster who has been posting junk since joining will never have to change their habits and keep being paid for junk.

If you cannot make a quality post and earn merits, then maybe it's time to go out and get an actual job? Hate to be the prick here but this is the truth.
I just sent my last sMerit to jackg for an idea that I really liked, but I would have sent you multiple merits for this one, because you're right on the money here. However, I do so enjoy the squealing from the shitposting crowd, and the deafening silence from theymos. There have been some good suggestions for minor tweaks, but this system is pretty much fine as it is. Look at most of the guys complaining about merit.

but it would be great if the smerits would be shared approximately to good posters to really make this forum a better one with low scam percentage.
Also the merit system has just been started so perhaps it may take some time to settle up.

Right now everyone is masturbating over "merit" and half the posts receiving merit are the ones talking about it.
Eventually, every single little point and example will be made, and people will move on to other subjects. Might take another month though. :/
Because it is really hard for everyone here i guess to rank up.
I hate to have to keep repeating myself, but give the system a chance before you ask for it to be removed!
It's not hard to earn merit at all if you have the right mindset - someone who is interested in bitcoin.
Don't be in such a hurry to grow up - YONO - You only newbie once!
But the problem which usually occurs is that most of the peoples just concentrate on getting smerits and they actually forget to send those forward. I am not against this system and also it would be a pleasure for me to accept this system but it would be great if the smerits would be shared approximately to good posters to really make this forum a better one with low scam percentage.
Also the merit system has just been started so perhaps it may take some time to settle up. Hope everything ends up well. Also i am aware thay the poll won't work due to account farmers, shitposters, etc as they would vote for their benefit and not for the forum but the amount of voters who insist to keep this system will prove that the merit system is really worth to be in circulation for the betterment of this forum.

As the title describes, should the merit system continue?
Yes.Because it is really hard for shitposters here i guess to rank up.
FTFY.No matter what you think, please do vote above so that we could know the public response.
Wrong. The opinion of the public, currently mainly consisting of shitposters, account traders, farmers and sockpuppets is not relevant.
Hello folks.
Because it is really hard for everyone here i guess to rank up. No matter what you think, please do vote above so that we could know the public response. Actually i noticed that not everyone is giving merits even for quality posts and that really makes being a reputed and higher rank member harder.
Instead, to avoid scam and protect the forum, the developers can adjust the activity level for each rank.
My suggestion to rank up is somehow common but can prove effective. Below should be the activity level to rankup without merits.
The above is just a suggestion and any kind of response will be appreciated.
