Topic: Signature Campaign which pays for merits? - page 2. (Read 446 times)
Did you take note of the date of the original post? September 17, 2017. Then, merit system has not been introduced. So were all the merits given in retrospect?
I also think that the idea about the minimum number of merit to participate in signature companies is very good. It is not clear why they wrote such rules. If they themselves violate their.
Just checked the list of participants and got lots of people have been accepted in semux's list. Here is the list of participants listed by semux where people with airdropped merits accepted.
Let me check the first 5:Code:
2884. 11 Merit received by liotmaan (#689832) from 1 unique users in 2 transactions
13918. 1 Merit received by crimealone (#206556) from 1 unique users in 1 transactions
170054 received nothing
181270 received nothing
8206. 3 Merit received by investgarant (#1108727) from 2 unique users in 3 transactions
Now let's check their Merit history in details:13918. 1 Merit received by crimealone (#206556) from 1 unique users in 1 transactions
170054 received nothing
181270 received nothing
8206. 3 Merit received by investgarant (#1108727) from 2 unique users in 3 transactions
liotmaan (#689832)
2 Merit for a link that redirects to a referal link > Reported to moderator.
9 Merit from the same user for saying "Where's the github".
crimealone (#206556)
1 Merit for a post in Chinese
investgarant (#1108727)
3 times 1 Merit for 3 posts in Russian.
I think it's safe to conclude requiring merit is NOT a solutation against spam, if it's an automated system that accepts anybody.
Now I'm little confused, is it requiring to earn 10 merits after merit system was introduced or no problem with by default. If so, it make no sense, IMO.
I assume it's 10 earned merits, else that sort of requirement is stupid.
I believe this is the future of this forum. Managers will make minimum merits as a requirement for participants to join the signature or bounty campaign and it will surely decreases the number of the participants as not all participants have the quality to get a lot of merits. Good poster will get their time paid off while bad one will be fucked up.
Like TP said, merit abusing is already going on, but i think the number is already decreased because the airdrop merits is already diminished a lot since the time merit was introduced. I remember someone is tracking the number of merits spent form month to month and it shows that the number of merits spent is decreasing over the month. So yeah, i hope the decreasing number comes from those who got no merit to abuse.

I have a better question: Why did all those people give semux that many merits? It almost seems to me like people are trying to bribe him or something.
May be trying to bribe, I guess some of them are affiliated or those all are bought. People who sell merit, own a lot of account, of course.Even with that 10 merit requirement, it's almost a given that that thread will be flooded with people who haven't read the requirements and are applying with less than that minimum. It's sad.

As far as requiring a certain number of merits for a campaign, this isn't the first one to do it. I think it's a good idea, because campaigns should generally strive for the best posters and merits are one way to judge that. Managers should still look at an applicant's posts, IMO, but if you haven't earned at least 10 merits by this point and you've been here since January...there's probably an issue with your post quality.
Would it encourage merit abuse in the form of buying & selling it? Maybe, but that's already going on.

It's true that there will be less participants as it requires having 10+ merits.
Good. Fuck 'em.Now I'm little confused, is it requiring to earn 10 merits after merit system was introduced or no problem with by default. If so, it make no sense, IMO.

Couple of days ago, I have seen someone sharing such kind of idea. I'm sharing it here just for having some discussion.

If most campaign managers follow this strategy, will it be efficient for forum or increase merit abusing in the long run?
